We had a fantastic stay at Shoestrings! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The ten-bed bunkhouse was comfortable and equipped with convenient power sources for charging our devices. The curtains provided privacy and there was plenty of space to store our bags. The bar/restaurant area had a great atmosphere, with plenty of tables and a huge yard to relax in. The location was perfect, within walking distance to both the town and the falls. We also loved the presence of the friendly dogs and cats. we had a wonderful experience at Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge Vic Falls.

I loved my stay at Shoestrings! the staff were friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome and at home. the facility was easily accessible and close to supermarkets and popular spots. They even offered me an extra blanket to keep warm during the cold nights in May. the cultural show on Wednesday night was a highlight and I enjoyed experiencing the backpacker vibe for the first time.
Felt right at home, no reason to complain.

The lodge had a spacious and well-maintained pool area, perfect for relaxing and cooling off. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, making our stay enjoyable. The location of the lodge was excellent, with easy access to the main attractions like the waterfalls and restaurants.
The wifi was not very reliable and often disconnected, which was a bit frustrating. Additionally, the size of the rooms was a bit smaller than expected, especially for guests with large luggage.

I recently stayed at a backpackers lodge in Victoria Falls and had a wonderful time. The location of the lodge within the national park was absolutely beautiful and provided a relaxing atmosphere. Despite some drawbacks, the staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout my stay.
One specific situation that I encountered was the availability of bicycles for rent. Although they weren't fully prepared for bike rentals, the staff went out of their way to ensure that I had a bike to use.

Relaxed atmosphere with a pool and well-tended grounds. The open common area was perfect for chatting with other guests and locals, playing pool, and catching up on internet stuff. The location was great, within walking distance to town and the Falls.
Some of the rooms lacked basic amenities like soap, and the showers had weak water pressure. The cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms left much to be desired.

Felt very homey, no complaints whatsoever.
