Hotel berhampiran Going Green Investment- Zambia, Livingstone

Stay at Fairmount hotel was like staying at home, the staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. The experience was overall excellent - Euphrasia called to check about the airport pick up, Dawney ensured that there was internet by providing me with a mobile router. Ms. Anita and Ms. Subhasini the GM of the hotel ensured a comfortable stay. The highlight of my stay was the Indian food that i took every day - Kadai Chicken and Mutton Rogah Josh with Garlic naan and Tandoori roti were excellently prepared by well trained chef. Thank you everyone for making my stay very comfortable and memorable.

The staff I amazing! Keep up the good vibes!! I want to commend Jolly’s for using a backup generator to defuse the load shedding crisis, well done👍

Great hotel! It's more than a backpackers hostel! Great management a wonderful helpful staff Joy and Miriam and Mathew did a great job! Lovely rooms with AC. Good bathrooms. Wonderful quiet garden with pool. Well stocked bar. Safe parking. Self storage kitchen with cooking equipment. Great outdoor Fire pit and BBQ facility. Good breakfast. A small mall opposite with very well stocked supermarket and banks and currency exchange. Wish I could've stayed longer!

What a fantastic Zambian welcome at Protea Marriot Hotel. From the lovely Ireen and Natasha at reception who were warm and interested in our adventures each day, to our spotless room cleaned by Forstina to great conversations and service from David, Raymond and Everisto to the plentiful and tasty cuisine provided by a team of excellent chefs …. I could go on and on - just wonderful service from every member of staff we came across!! Best 3 night break in a long time ; wonderful decor and ambience and world class service - you will be more than satisfied if you pick this hotel 10/10 and Zikomo 👏🏾

Excellent riverside room and a wonderful resort overall. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. The gardens and surroundings in the resort are well maintained. The swimming pool is a great place to relax on a sunny afternoon, the restaurant and bar has excellent food refreshing drinks. It gets quite busy on the weekend and with big groups, but you can see why once you experience the facilities. Apart from the resort it's also home to safpar, they have many different options for travel along the zambezi and falls. We chose the river float, game drive and sunset cruise combo (Around $180) and it was totally worth it! Will definitely stop by again next time I'm in town.

Excellent place to be with all people from all around the globe. I would love stay at this same place for my life to be transformed and have a free mind ........................................... ................................................................. .......................................................................... ................................................... ........................................................................ ..................................................................

What an amazing stay, you are greeted with traditional drumming and singing which was very welcoming. The hotel is very colonial and if that’s what you enjoy you will love the royal Livingstone. We were greeted by a lovely lady from Botswana who explained everything to us, she was very friendly and professional, she also gave us a refreshing traditional Zambian hibiscus drink. The grounds are breathtaking with direct views of the great Zambezi river as it is right on the banks of it, you can see the Mosi Oa Tunya in action from the hotel as the smoke looms around and over the falls on a clear day, beautiful animals roam freely around the grounds which was just a wonderful sight to witness. The room was very nice, comfortable bed and huge balcony overlooking the grounds and the Zambezi. For our first night we opted to eat at Mukuni Boma which is a restaurant serving more traditional dishes such as nshima, rice, impwa, chikanda, visashe, kapenta, Vinkubala, fried fish, along with various stews and grilled meats, there was a great selection for desserts too, this restaurant was the highlight of my time at the Royal Livingstone. There was a live showcase of traditional Zambian dancing and singing from a few different tribes in Zambia. This was a magical night. We ate at Zubu restaurant and I was not impressed with the food, the service was amazing but the food was a huge let down it was very tasteless in my opinion, but if you like bland and unseasoned food you will enjoy dining there. We also had cocktails at the bar a few times and I thought it was only right to try the Mosi Oa Tunya cocktail and it was devine, it was perfectly mixed each time. That was my favourite cocktail there but there were many that were just as good. Most of the staff members were excellent and I wish I could remember the young lady hostess we encountered during breakfast service that was actually very rude to us for what ever reason, it’s not a good look for the hotel because that one employee can spoil how everyone sees the rest of the staff and most of the other staff were absolutely lovely, just that one bad seed. Overall a good experience and I would encourage people to go even for one night.

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a hotel, especially with the staff, and I have stayed in everything from 9 euro backpacking hostels to 5-star luxury resorts. Some of the staff were incredibly rude, particularly Misozi - she spoke to us with an attitude as if we were not worth her time every time we asked a question or had a request. We had to ask repeatedly before we received any of the ”benefits” that they flaunt when booking, such as a welcome drink as well as basic things like a water refill, mosquito repellent, etc. The ”Discovery” tiered membership is a scam - when we arrived, they handed us a personalized letter listing the benefits that I receive as a member, but when we tried to use those benefits such as late checkout later on, they basically laughed in our faces and told us that we're not eligible and did not honor them - despite having written proof that was handed to us by them that we are eligible. Taxis that we requested the day prior from the front desk were 15+ minutes late, causing us to nearly miss our tour. On top of all that, the facilities are older than you would think from the photos and need updating. The shower constantly flooded. And, there was a mosquito crushed into one of the pillows when we first arrived. The free access to the falls was wasted on us because they were 100% dry when we were there - by no fault of the hotel, of course. The best part about the hotel is that there are zebras and giraffes walking the grounds, which is a novelty. However, not worth the steep price paid for a frankly insulting experience with the staff and the facilities of a low-to-mid tier hotel. Would never stay here again.
