Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Perfect location in Vic Falls, walking distance to downtown and the falls. Awesome backpackers with excellent food (not cheap, but everything in Vic Falls in expensive, was reasonably priced considering this!). We stayed in a tent and slept comfortable, there's even a fan, lights and PowerPoints. All facilities were clean and well kept. We felt safe here.

    Great location for visiting the falls and the town itself. The complex felt very safe and secure. Breakfast was great - there were a lot of options and everything looked freshly cooked and baked. The pool area and surrounding garden was lovely. Staff were very welcoming and helpfully sprayed your room with insect repellant every evening to keep the mosquitoes away.

    Schoestrings Backpackers Logde is what you need in Victoria falls if you are on a budget seen a lot of other lodges are extremly overprised and do not match value for money. I booked an individual room seen I'm not a real dorm person and my private room was very convenient. I was there in low-season and the price (45Dollar) was matching my expecations. Breakfast is a la carte and was OK. Personel was very friendly Has a good vibe.

    Great location and really adaptable accommodation - we stayed in a private room and it was great for us. There were also dorm room options available for the more budget conscious or people looking for more of a hostel environment. The front desk was extremely helpful in organising activities in the area.

    There are not a lot of backpacker-style hotels in Zimbabwe in general, so this one provides great value for money for independent travellers. Clean, good facilities (including large, well-equipped kitchen to make your own meals), cozy space with a lot of plants growing around. Friendly staff and tasty breakfast to start the day. We felt safe walking around the neigbourhood.

    There are not a lot of backpacker-style hotels in Zimbabwe in general, so Shoestrings provides great value for money for independent travellers. Clean, good facilities, bar/kitchen to grab something to eat, big common area to relax / spend evening. Friendly staff. Within walking distance to main parts of Vic Falls town and the Falls themselves (and we felt safe walking around this neighbourhood).
