If you are looking for luxury lodging this is not it. But it has a very cool and comfortable vibe to it. It was winter when we stayed (June) so we did not use the pool but they were still keeping it clean. The best thing about this property is the service. Property manager (Darius) and his staff did absolutely anything they could to make our brief stay everything we wanted it to be. The property is also very conveniently located to all river/falls tours. Very happy we chose to stay here and will do so again if we are back in Livingstone.

Both pros and cons

Posted 2 May 2018 on Hotels
The place was nice but they suffered from having changed ownership recently(?). Therefore the place has changed name from Bushfront Lodge, but Hotels.com has not aknowledged that so when we arrived they had no booking and no receipt that we had paid. Byt the lodge sorted it out smoothly. Our biggest complaint is about smell. We were given a bungalow that obviously hadn't been used for quite some time, the room did not smell nice simply. And then later when we used the water it smelled like rotten eggs! However, when we complained about the situation the day after, we were given a nice bungalow without smell and with nice water.

where not to stay

I have never seen a camp so poorly constructed and on the fringe of a mosquito infested swamp. I have travelled extensively all over Africa and have never seen so many mosquitos in my life. I will let you know if i have contracted malaria.

This hotel was charming and very authentic. The food is good. Be aware that wifi is extremely slow and only works in the lobby and there are many mosquitoes and baboons passing by. Nevertheless, the staff is very kind and this is a good place to relax.

Decent option if you're not staying right at VF

Could be a really great hotel property but it's a bit outdated. The mosquito infestation in the rooms makes being in the rooms VERY unpleasant. There are almost no mosquitos outside on the property. Seems very strange. There was no heat when we were there and the hotel had run out of tanks for the local heaters. Not great. But good location, inexpensive and nice layout.

Infecter de moustiques

Posted 12 Oct 2017
Cadre sympa mais dommage que rien est fait pour supprimer les moustiques des chambres. C'est une infection
