Very cost-effective, with a bar for ordering food and a kitchen where you can cook. There is a supermarket within a five-minute walk, and there are many good restaurants within ten minutes. The post office is nearby, which is very convenient for sending postcards. There are also several nearby places where you want to exchange local currency, which you can compare. Music will be played at night, but the volume and time will be controlled. If you need to rest during a long trip, this hotel is a good choice.

有一次免費接機，實用。當地有名的青旅，很多白人。環境不錯，但是房間沒有WiFi！衹能去前台附近使用公共WiFi，速度衹有幾kb……這都算了，晚上蚊子超級多！一秒不驅趕，身上變成蚊子停機坪。好多年沒睡在蚊帳裏面了……

Where do we start, * Transfer from Airport to Jolly's and back was awesome approx 7 min drive, easy to find them, friendly smile and a delight to chat with. Aircon rooms: highly recommend - great, clean, quility bed and bedding. You get towels, bring your own personal items, hair dryer you can request. Pool, clean and tidy. Bring your own towels. Concierge: from day 1 they (6 months prior to arrival) assisted me with all the planning, details, links for our adventure. Kitchen: Outside company, they are suppose to open at 06:30, that did not happen, they seem to be always late. Made it very difficult to order, eat, and wisk off to our planned excursions. Pre-booking also did not secure them to be on time. All meals and friendly faces made up for the short fall. Pay kitchen daily, have cash local currency, with car it a extra 5%. Bar: Amazing service friendly staff, you can run a tab, pay up once a day, cash where possible, local currency. Taxi: We had a lovely older gentleman he name is Sam, o my word, he definitely made our stay, loving, caring, passionate about his country cheapest rates, always willing to assist us. Please do tip extra he was the absolute best.

The Jolly team is very humane, helpful and friendly. At all times we have felt welcome. The installations are very good. They have food, cold beers and good music. The pool is always clean and ready.. I recommend this place for anyone who wants to visit Zambia and make Jolly their second home.

The team at Jollyboys is always friendly, helpful and fully dedicated to the customer. The place is absolutely stunning for relaxing or activities. Even the hostel kitchen has some equipment to use, which makes it easy to prepare a little breakfast. The mangos you may collect in the garden are an extra plus.

I stayed in a girls-only dorm for a week. The bed was comfy, and it was a peaceful place. The pool and chill area were really nice. The receptionists, drivers, and restaurant staff were all friendly and helpful. However, I didn't give a 5 star because the bathrooms were not clean; the showers and basins were too dirty.
