The self serve kitchens could use a little more orderliness. They are not stocked with enough supplies for cooking (plates, cutlery, pans, etc.) and it is not very cleanly either! The bugs are insane in the kitchen and that should not be. That is my main complaint. Other than that I love the atmosphere. The internet was down this time, and that was also a let down, but I guess those things happen. Bars on windows in the rooms so we can leave them open during the day would be nice!

I was very impressed during my overnight stay. The room was well equipped with mosquito net, blanket and towel (the essentials) the toilets and showers clean. The kitchen well stocked and also clean and tidy. Thanks for a pleasant stay.

There are two main downsides - their website says they have internet, but they haven't had it in months, and there is one day per week when the kitchen is closed, because the chef is off. Also, it is pretty expensive relative to Kuomboka Backpackers around the corner.

Lovely hostel but let down by the amount of food that disappeared from the kitchen. Staff seem to help themselves (I am guessing it's the night staff, as food always walked during the night) and it was a common complaint amongst those of us staying there.
Clean dorms, lovely pool and and area but the kitchen was filthy and very poorly stocked - get some crockery and cutlery!

The building really needs some maintenance. New toilets and showers would be a major improvement. Fans on the ceiling escially in the doubletwin rooms and a mirror on the wall would be highly appreciated. Great that there are musquitonets everywhere now. We had a great time as before.

Best of the two the two back packing options in Lusaka because of the good staff and social atmosphere. Unfortuntely had socks stolen off the line.

The place was ok, nice pool&bar area. Some of the staff were quite fed up with their work, but some were nice and helpfull. Ok for a short stopover.

Don't stay here if you want a good nights sleep! Rooms are hot (no fan) and very noisy with the bar customers, music and the male staff flirting with young girls.
