We stayed here for only one night and were thoroughly disappointed. The rooms were dirty, the shared bathroom was dirty, the staff was not helpful, and it was more expensive than much nicer places in Zambia. If your on a budget, there are much nicer places to stay in Lusaka, would not recommend this to anyone. More

Horrible. The room smelled of sweat as soon as we entered (must have been the sheets), small bugs were crawling on the bed and the showers where filthy. The bar was ok and the staff was average friendly. Anyway, I'm usually not picky, but I would not stay at a place that unclean no matter how cheap it is. More

Without much competition KuOmboka nearly has the cheap end of the market tied up in Lusaka. As anywhere without competition a place doesn't stay good for long, and if KuOmboka had a good day its long gone. Small crowded rooms, converted toilets for showers and all less than spotless around the edges. All not very cosy. It does do food... More

We arrived at 2:30am due to a long flight and there were people to greet us and show us to our room which was a good thing. The room was less than $30 a night so that was good but it did feel a little run down. For the money it was very good value but the shower/bath worked but... More

Value rating: ***** We were very pleasantly surprised by KuOmboko Hostel in Lusaka, Zambia. We book a private room doubled bed for only 24$/night (shared bathroom). The hostel is well-equipped: laundry facilities, a fun and lively bar (that brings in more locals than guests), a 24 hour internet cafe, safe and secure rooms, a flexible restaurant (they will get very...
