Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge Vic Falls sits in Victoria Falls, one of those discreet hostel additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. The strong location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, within an easy walk of the city centre, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Inside, the rooms are modest, and guests pick out on-site parking, an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 1,300 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €14 a night, which lands as a strong-value option for the city. All told, Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge Vic Falls reads as one of those Victoria Falls addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
