The property needs some maintenance and updates. The bed was completely worn out and felt like I was sleeping in a hammock on the ground. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was fine basic. Locks, showers & air-conditioning needs some maintenance.

Very friendly and cheerful spot. Lovely staff. Rooms are small but cozy. Good beds with mosquito nets. Air conditioners take a bit to get going but work fine. Lovely courtyard to relax in. Good value for the area.

The rooms are old, dated and have a strange distribution. Beds are small and they don't have a generator so there's no electricity during 18 hours a day which is very inconvenient. They have two small solar lights but that's it. Overall it was not comfortable but the worse was the incredibly unfriendly service. The day we were leaving we went for breakfast at 9:20. It took them more than half hour to serve us breakfast. When we were finishing breakfast and planning our day for a few minutes, one of the staff members approached us and told us very rudely that if we were leaving that day we should go and get the bags out of out room right away or she would charge us for a another night. It was 10:10am. We were in complete shock since to start with we thought check out was at 11 like most places in Zambia, but mostly because of the rudeness of this person who was literally kicking us out when it was them who took ages to serve us breakfast in the first place. She made us feel extremely uncomfortable. The only reason she wanted the room so quickly it was because the only other two guests at the hotel, had complained about the room, they've been shown every room and didn't like any of them and the staff told them our room was the best in the hotel and they could have it. The truth is that our room was also terrible but hey didn't know this. Overall a very unpleasant and unsavoury stay. Not recommended at all. They're better places in town generators and friendly service

Lovely place to stay in Livingstone
My husband and I stayed at the Okavango Lodge for 2 nights. We had a pleasant stay, and we even got upgraded from a tent to a room due to renovations. The receptionists were all very nice and helpful, the courtyard is a nice place to relax, and the friendly resident cats made it feel like a home! Location was good and close to a mall with a big Shoprite. During power cuts, the staff supplied us with flashlights. I would definitely stay here again.

Très bien
Personnel et manager d'une gentillesse incroyable. Suite à un surbooking, nous avons dû passer la première nuit dans un autre lodge. La manager s'est surpassée pour trouver une chambre à nos critères. Le lendemain elle m'a emmené au marché local où elle a négocié pour moi le prix des tissus que je voulais acheter. Ils nous ont cuisiné un petit déjeuner sur mesure avec spécialité locale que nous n'avions pas eu l'occasion de goûter. Chambres très basiques, besoin de maintenance mais très propres. Parfait pour 1 ou 2 nuits pas chères pour visiter les chutes.
