I knew that Fawlty Towers had been around for years, but I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was a great place to stop while in Livingstone. It was restful, extremely accommodating and very reasonably priced. I loved it!

My stay in Fawlty Towers was amazing. I was travelling alone and i met a lot of wonderful people there. The place is really nice and clean, with a big garden and a commercial centre in front that makes this location perfect

I took my granddaughter’s and son to Zambia,it was my granddaughters first visit to Zambia and to see the Victoria Falls. We stayed at Fawlty towers backpackers inLivingstone,the staff were very friendly and accommodating.Although we had to buy our own food which we didn’t mind,we were disappointed that the tea and coffee facility was stopped at 16hrs, I think tea and coffee should stop at 19 hrs so at least we can have a hot drink before bed. We enjoyed our stay at Fawlty Towers,one more thing the beautician was not very good on her manicure,no proper tools for the job.

Thank you very much for your lovely rating and we are chuffed to hear that overall, you enjoyed your stay and found our staff friendly and accommodating. Just to comment on a few of the negatives: 1. I hope you didn't feel you had to buy your own food for all your meals?... We do serve breakfast which is free to anyone staying in twins and double rooms. We also have a selection of light lunches such as wraps and toasted sandwiches. Dinners are currently unavailable, a) because we have just been through two difficult years with the covid pandemic and unfortunately had to reduce our team staff from 25 to just 9. As things pick up, we will start to employ more staff. b) We are a stone's throw away from all Livingstone's favourite cafes, bars and restaurants. We have always only had free tea and coffee available from 7 am - 5 pm but there is of course our self catering kitchen with a kettle and fridge and there is a grocery store right across the road from Fawltys, so guests can always make themselves a cuppa after hours at our self-catering kitchen. Thank you for your feedback on our day salon lady. Yes, her manicures and pedicures are basic but we shall check up on her tools. She does amazing massages. Thanks again for taking the time to send feedback. With best wishes, Elissa

Very reasonable, clean rooms with a terrific location. You can walk to several restaurants, Shop Rite, Hungry Lion, ATM and many shops are across the street. There is a drug store down the street as well as other restaurants. The breakfast was included with our private rooms and was fantastic! They were very gracious and helpful. The outdoor sitting area by the pool was terrific and they worked to keep the bugs down by spraying. This was super helpful since we went to a nearby hotel for a meal and the flies and bugs were overwhelming. The air conditioned rooms were very nice, albeit small. They were just what we needed after touring and sightseeing all day. Drinks are reasonable and the bar is generally well stocked.
