Great location and really informative staff. There's a free shuttle bus to the falls each morning from the hostel (easy to then pick up a taxi back). Staff can arrange loads of tours and events (prices were as expected) and go out of their way to help book you onto things, even if last minute. We went to Livingstone Island... More

Recently got home from my African adventure, spent time in Livingstone Zambia staying for a time at jolly boys backpackers. It was fantastic, roms were clean and comfortable and the staff were very helpful. There are so many things to do in livingstone and they had no problems answering all my questions

We stopped here after a week in Kabwe. The place is full of young people, many of them charity workers. We ran into a terrific bunch from Newcastle University in the UK who were in Zambia with Sports Aid teaching sport to kids in Lusaka. The accommodation is basic but functional and the food served would fall into the same... More

I stayed here with my 11 year old daughter and 15 year old son for three nights in between safari camps. We had a quad room with bathroom & shower which was nice in that it had the best hot water we had experienced in a couple of weeks. The bathroom / shower could have used a good cleaning and... More

On one hand, Jollyboys has everything the backpacker could want - clean, secure accommodation, a lively bar, pool, and the chance to meet other travellers. They also have nice extras like free pick-up from the airport and free drop-off at Victoria Falls. We stayed in an air-con twin room with en-suite. The room was clean, if a little dark. The... More

Overall a good place to stay. The bungalows were clean and nice, but the lighting wasn't the best. The internet access is really slow and quite expensive, so I don't see the point in paying. Most of the showers were good, the ones furthest away from the reception were by far the best. Not so many people and good pressure.... More

In a nutshell, I would thoroughly recommend this hostel to anyone, Jollyboys is one of my favourite hostels I have stayed in so far. The place is structured in a way that you have great communal space and open areas, and it had a very nice vibe to it and buzz. Facility-wise I found the place to be fine, toilets... More

This place was huge, clean, efficient, fun and entirely worth the money. It was easy to make reservations and check in. They took any currency and did quick conversions. Cash was required, but it was a short walk to the ATM or currency exchange. The staff was very knowledgeable and accessible. They made it extremely easy to make reservations around... More
