How do we describe the magic of this place? It’s almost impossible! We stayed at Muke Village Guesthouse for three nights and wished we could have stayed for a month—that’s how much we loved it. Our 8-year-old couldn’t get enough of sitting around the fire, playing football with the local kids, and exploring the village. What a fantastic community! We travel extensively, and this experience stands out as one of the very best we’ve ever had. Muke Guesthouse isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a full experience for life. The breakfast is fantastic and absolutely worth it, and the dinners are just as delicious. We hadn’t planned to eat dinner at Muke, but we ended up having it every night because we didn’t want to waste a moment away from the village. They also arranged an excellent taxi driver for us at a reasonable price, which made getting around easy. We will never forget our time here, and we will surely be back!

The place was calm and beautiful, the food was nice, but the friendliness of the staff took it to the next level. They were very kind and helpful. I booked several experiences through the hostel, and made use of services like the laundry and spa, and everything was done perfectly. Thank you!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location along the main street: mall, atm, bus station, petrol station, pub with live music and some restaurants/bars all within walking distance (max 10 minutes for the bus station). The staff was friendly and helpful, the bedroom and bathroom clean. The hostel itself is very nice and surrounded by beautiful trees.

    Best Hostel experience in Africa so far. I highly recommend this place to stay in Livingstone. The location couldnt be better. There is a supermarket just on the opposite side of the main road. The staff organize and help you book activities and day trips on the area. There was such a good vibe at the pool too, where everybody hangs out. If I come back one day, I will definitely stay here again.

    I've been coming to Fawlty Towers for many years, and it's always a pleasure. This backpackers is very well run and staffed, dorm rooms are big and beds comfy, they have safe boxes (bring your own padlock), there's a coffee station, nice garden and swimming pool, renovated bar and bathrooms... and it's very conveniently located. The best option in Livingstone!
