There is a lotto like about Victoria Falls Backpackers Lodge. A variety of accommodation options, a good price, a pool, good wifi, etc. I thought it was fine. I'm not sure if I would stay there again. I might, but I didn't love it. Like most of the accommodations in Victoria Falls, it is a good walk from the centre; fro places to buy food and water. That means that you need to arrange a driver. You can walk, but in the day it is so hot and at night, it's very dark and no so safe - not because of violence or crime, but because of animals. I encountered elegance and warthogs on the road walking back. There is a driver for the hostel, but he is not necessarily there. He maybe out and in evenings and early mornings there was no one at reception to help call a driver. So I felt a little isolated. My room (private room, shared bath, no AC) was fine, but I understood there would be a fan. One appeared half way through my stay, but without it, it was not very comfortable. The wifi was excellent (I had to do work while I was there and it worked well), the pool and outdoor areas were nice. It was clean and felt safe an secure. The kitchen was handy for making coffee, and it was a nice atmosphere. I think it is a good place, I just would have been happier to be a little closer to the centre, which is not a failing of the hostel, just my personal impression.
