    I wish the wifi worked in the rooms as well.

    The location was central plus the rooms were comfortable. The entire property was beautiful and an unexpected garden oasis in the middle of town.

    Please consider putting mesh over the windows so that guests can open them for ventilation. We stayed in Rwanda with the same mozzie issue and this made the world of difference

    Staff difficult to find at bar and reception. Cash only (Local), no USD or cards accepted which made things difficult at times. Also, no bar tabs allowed which meant waiting on staff to attend the bar, breaking change etc every time I wanted a bottle of water. Whole process of buying a bottle of water at the pool took around 20 mins every time. Same for a beer. I would avoid for this reason alone. Painfully slow to get anything done

    Nice, chilled vibe around the place.

    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.

    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.

    The Gatekeeper was very rude and discourteous towards my taxi driver at my arrival. Very limited food menu The rooms could do with renovations and replacement of old fittings. I did not feel like I got value for money given the price of the room versus its size and amenities.

    The surrounding gardens. Very friendly and helpful bar man and catering staff

    Nothing really… Perhaps rooms could be with better facilities and better refurbished.

    Nice and safe hotel, just in the centre of the city. They have bar inside and swimming pool. Big supermarket is just opposite across the road with some fast food restaurants. Joy is the best part of our stay, she welcomed us when we arrived and arranged our trip to Devil’s pool next day. Thank u Joy, you are the best! We also booked taxi from airport and back, all went excellent.

    The wifi is only accessible from the pool/bar area and not from the rooms which can be a little irritating

    perfect place to stay not far from the main road in livingston. the aircon in the rooms and pool are the perfect way to cool off in the summer. the rooms are humble but after a busy day of safaris in Chobe or exploring Vic Falls (all things you can organise through the hotel) you don’t really mind that.
