10/10 Exceptional

If you want a beautiful African experience with no bells and whistles, then Ngomo Lodge is a lovely place to visit. Nestled in lush, tropical gardens, the lodge has a typical African themed reception, which is like walking into a tasteful and cosy living room. Rooms at the lodge are very simple and may lack the small attention to detail that one may find in bigger hotels. That said, the bed was very comfortable, our room and the public areas were utterly spotless! Our room opened out into the pool area which is beautiful! Well tended, tropical gardens, surround the pool, it is lighted up at night which makes it look magical and it is quiet and restful during the day. The pool has many shaded areas where one can sit comfortably without being boiled by the strong African sun. The small restaurant overlooks the pool area and my husband and I ate there every day. Food is prepared fresh from scratch and everything that we ate was made with love and was delicious! The lodge has a small staff who gives one the sense that they are all a family who run the lodge with pride and love. I cannot emphasise the staffs' absolute humility, politeness and utter devotion to their guests. Zambians are the nicest people I have ever met. They have left a huge place in my heart and I can't wait to go back again.

Lovely lodge in quiet area
Pleasant lodge with about 10 rooms, located in a quiet area away from busy streets. Lobby and gardens have much interesting art. There is an on-site restaurant, serving mostly meat, but also a tasty vegan stir-fry with rice for $12USD. Some rooms look out over the pool. Outside bar area. It is located a 5 minute walk from the intercity bus station, but is too far to walk from the bridge at Victoria Falls - a taxi is about $10USD. Easy 15-minute walk to shopping area with ATM and bureau de change.

Fabulous stay. Staff are friendly and helpful. The chef Gilbert is the best. Reception staff Caroline and Ken helpful. Thanks to Destin, Naomi, and all kitchen and hosekeeping staff. All meals were delicious. Close to airport and the Mosi--oa-tunya falls. The livingston museum is a must see and gift shop has great prices. All in all, the people of livingston are warm and peaceful, which makes any vacation great.

This is a lovely lodge for the budget conscious. The staff were super helpful with reserving activities and transport. The restaurant provided a perfectly fine breakfast, but only instant coffee (yet Zambia grows excellent coffee). The pool was nice. Staff provided me milk for my room and a teapot. Bed was very comfortable.

The property is quiet an oasis in the middle of town, but they are burning trash 24/7 right outside of the property and the smell is penetrating everything. Made hanging out at the pool and bar unenjoyable:( Food was safe, but nothing special.

6/10 Good

Frustrating & inconsistent with friendly service
The staff here are really lovely and I think that’s a big part of why this property rates so well on various platforms. It’s also the reason this review is 3 stars and not lower. Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t great. My wife and I stayed in 4 rooms over 4 nights (partly our fault for last minute booking, but unexpectedly being forced to change rooms at 7:15am one morning wasn’t part of the plan and we were less than impressed). Also, being told a standard room is the same as Deluxe except for the room size and then being stuck on a small bed wasn’t great. The rooms vary a lot (and are not as good as the photos) - different mattresses, air con units, wifi signal, mosquito nets… some have quilts, others just with sheets. It’s a bit of a lucky dip. Cigarette smoke from outside creeping into two of the rooms was unpleasant and there was lots of mosquitoes in one of them too. For the money, I was disappointed and think it’s poor value. That said, the staff try their best and we always felt safe and didn’t feel any need to worry about valuables

Together with another couple We stayed at this property that is nothing short of being but excellent. The staff were all most helpful in every way - they even iron your clothes for you free of charge and arrange tours transport etc. Rita, Kenny, Destiny, Margaret and the owner with the brilliant white hair are among the best people you would come across.
