Mirriam & Joy are absolutely fabulous. Ask for their counsel regarding all activities. The free pancakes at 15h-16h are delicious and perfect timing. The pizza are nice and easy for a good price. Breakfast is simple but good and enough to start the day. The pool is really nice. And location is perfect near a really good restaurant and in front of the ShopRite. My room with garden view was really nice and great view.

Due to the general shortage of electricity in Zambia we were often on the generator but it didn't cover my room. So sometimes it was pitch black in the room and no warm water.

Staff were absolutely lovely, special shout out to Mike at the bar who did everything to make us feel welcome, a really kind and warm person, who set the tone for the place, and to Joy at reception (well-named.) The pool was a welcome relief from the heat. The accommodation was centrally situated. There was a lovely garden and it felt like an oasis in the midst of the busy town.

We had booked a "standard" room but it was so tiny and miserable we upgraded to a "deluxe" room, which was around 50% more expensive and I would have considered that to be more of a standard size. I thought filter coffee should have been available as part of the free breakfast, especially given what we were paying for the room. I also thought they could have made better use of the ubiquitous mangoes and included them as an option in the free breakfast.

the staff! miriam, gladys, joy, the landscaper who kept the lawns watered and the pool clean, the laundry workers whom i never met, the bartenders and pizza makers, housekeepers who serviced our room or replaced our towels, robbie the security guy...all fantastic, friendly, helpful. Every single one of them has an amazing, positive attitude and makes your stay like one spent with friends you've known for years. also love mompeg, the resident older kitty. what a special girl she is!

2 of us shared a room. a couple dozen of us were on a medical trip together. it was tight quarters. but it's the room that was reserved for us, so it's not fawlty towers' fault! we figured some workarounds for our bags (under our beds), toiletries (a tiny ledge overhead in the bathroom could accommodate a few items) and laying out of next day's clothes (hang them over the wires that hold up the mosquito net) :) i moved into my own room with larger bed for two nights at conclusion of the trip. it was grand!

I initially booked 2 nights here, but ended up staying 4 nights and returning again for another 4! So yes, I loved it! I stayed in one of the budget double rooms first which are quite small, but still comfortable. I upgraded later to a larger double room which is much nicer and was worth the extra money if your budget isn't too tight. Location is great. There is a supermarket over the road as well as bars and other restaurants on the main road. The falls are only a 3 to 4 dollar taxi ride away. It's nice and peaceful! There is a large garden area and it's far from the road so you have some nice peace. The pool is big enough to swim in and it's very clean. The breakfast area is great and the bar is also really good! It's well stocked and reasonable priced ! And a lovely atmosphere. It's not too busy there either. Mike is the best barman I have ever met and will look after well! It's highly secure and safe. The staff are amazing! Really friendly and will help you with anything. You get free tea and coffee all day and also there is an outdoor kitchen for making your own food and drink. They do some freshly made pizza there until 8pm which I found delicious! There are also dorm rooms there and I found a great mix of travellers to speak to. Tip: the electricity in Livingstone shuts down a lot in the day, so make sure you phone and batter pack is filling charged when you can. If I ever return to Livingstone, I will definitely return here! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

It was delightful to leave the chaotic downtown thoroughfare and enter the walled-in sanctuary of Fawlty Towers. The place is immaculately clean and pleasantly landscaped. We were welcomed at reception and given instructions to enjoy their daily free crepes they make at 1500 in the afternoon. The rooms were comfortable and AC was nice to knock down the heat before sleeping. Mosquito nets and bug spray was provided but it was not a bother🦟. Right across the street is a large supermarket to buy ingredients to cook in the kitchen next to the swimming pool, but there is a full bar and wood fired pizza 🍕 served daily. A full English breakfast or oatmeal is offered free if you've booked an individual room. They also have dorm beds at a lower price. We ended up staying two extra days and taked advantage of daily massages for a fair price. The staff are super friendly and arranged for us to raft the Zambezi River, at no extra charge. Also secure parking. Very relaxing and safe.

Amazing staff. The overall atmosphere of the lodge was calm with a lot of trees and outside seating. Clean room. Very comfortable bed that I slept like a baby! They have a massage service, a small souvenir shop, a bar and a restaurant all in the lodge. There was a large supermarket across the street and their shared kitchen was well-equipped, so you could cook easily for the entire stay.

Wi-Fi didn't reach the room, but our room was at the very back corner. I think they are continuing to improve their network, though! In the common areas, their wi-fi worked perfectly. Shared fridge was a bit cluttered.

Fawlty towers is a tropical paradise. We loved our stay so much that we stayed for two weekends in a row and will definitely return. The accommodation is comfortable with great mosquito nets. The outside area is tranquil and lush with an outdoor cooking area and indoor storage and fridges for guests to use. The staff are so kind and friendly. It is obvious that everyone loves working at Fawlty Towers. We felt safe in Livingstone and Shoprite is just across the road. Joy and Mirriam organised a day trip to Chobe national park for us which was a highlight of our holiday. And also a special mention to the cleaners who keep everything spotless, the gardener who’s garden and pool is immaculate and the chefs who’s pancakes and pizzas are delicious. We loved our stay and will definitely return.

I’d love it if there was a pot on reception to give tips as I think more people would give them, though we were able to give tips which were put in an envelope to be divided between staff.

We changed our hotel stay from one that was in the middle of the forest to this one because of the location and it was a great decision! This place is located right in the city center, walkable from restaurants, bars, shops, etc. There are also lot of taxis available right outside in case you wish to go to the falls. The vibe of the area is nice, and while its in the middle of all the action, it wasn't too loud at night. The breakfast was amazing and they also have free pizzas every afternoon (though we were usually out in the afternoons). The pool is nice though it was too cold to use it. Also, while it is affected by electricity issues, the rooms still allow you to have basic lighting and phone charging overnight, which was good. Overall, pretty convenient!

Nothing!

The warm welcome. The staff on point. The Bar area. The pool. Amazing

The mosquitoes... Hahaha

Fawlty towers is situated in Livingstone town, opposite a shopping center with a shoprite. You can quickly walk across to get any groceries or snacks for yourself. The staff are kind and helpful, on my arrival I asked on where I could get a simcard, Miriam guided me to the right place and I was quickly sorted with simcard and enough data for the weekend. The driver that fetched me from livingstone airport was holding a Fawlty towers board with my name on it. Note that the airport wifi is not reliable. My room was ready (a standard double room), the bed is comfortable with a large mosquito net to protect you, the airconditioning is a lifesaver in the Zambian heat. There is a bedside table with a plug point (UK - 3 regtangular pins). The room is minimal but perfect for a short, solo trip. The bathroom is clean and functional (the bathroom is usually warm and humid without the airconditioning, but it's not a problem). The bar area has comfortable couches with a competent and friendly bar tender, it's quite a vibe with lovely music throughout the day. The kitchen and breakfast area is outside, and covered and the Fawlty towers breakfast is served by a lovely chef, that accommodated my difficult dietary requirements. Thank you for making my stay as comfortable as possible :)
