Can do better!
No key for our dorm...
But this one was spacious and comfortable beds.
Sanitary facilities are generally clean!
The snack is more problematic with a very long service, dishes that are noted while they are paid for on order and finally the staff who rarely have the change to make what is... weird attitude when we have not felt this elsewhere in Livingstone.

We aim to offer great value rather than just being the cheapest, with plenty of free inclusions—like our daily shuttle to Victoria Falls, free airport pick-up from Livingstone Airport, a free walking tour of town every Wednesday, and a free dinner for all in-house guests every Thursday. We believe a great hostel experience is about more than just a place to sleep!
We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon. Safe travels!
Best,
The Jollyboys Backpackers Team

A gem in central Livingstone - Jollyboys!
Jollyboys was perfect! They don't have a campsite but their parking area suited us (sleeping in our truck) just fine.
Clean ablutions, hot water, lovely clean swimming pool, bar, restaurant, communal sitting/ relaxing areas all with terrifically friendly and helpful staff.
We really enjoyed our 7 nights there.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad Jollyboys was the perfect spot for your stay in Livingstone. While our campsite is more suited for little tents than fantastic camper trucks (we’re definitely a bit jealous!), we’re happy to hear that our parking area worked out for you.
It’s great to know you enjoyed our facilities, from the hot showers to the pool, bar, and relaxing spaces. Our team truly appreciates your kind words!
Wishing you many more amazing adventures on the road, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
Safe travels!

Did you know that the Livingstone Museum (celebrating 90 years this year!) is just a hop, skip, and jump from our front door? It's a great spot to learn more about the history of the area while you're here.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more adventures or relaxation!
