Spent 2 nights in Livingstone and this was the perfect place to stay, felt completely looked after from the moment I arrived. Laurent was so helpful and really gave it the personal touch, it was five star service in beautiful rustic surroundings. I chose a quiet room and the back, it was so peaceful and the bed was extremely comfortable.... More

We stayed for 3 nights at the Tabonina Guesthouse and loved it. Close enough to walk to town yet far enough to be very quiet and peaceful. The Maramba market was also within walking distance. The cottage we rented was great, very comfortable and clean - it accommodated 5 adults no problem. Breakfast outside by the pool was wonderful. Laurent... More

I loved my week-long stay at Tabonina. I have even tried the other hotel Olga, and preferred Tabonina to Olga's for its personal touch. Some of the rooms are part of an actually house that has a living room and a self service kitchen- this felt like being in a warm and cozy house. The place was pretty quite, with... More

I stayed at the Tabonina Guesthouse in Livingstone for one night. It is a cosy place with friendly staff. I paid US$55 for a night. It is even more attractive for families or groups since they do not charge extra for additional persons. So 3 people can stay in one room with one large bed and a small one for... More

I chose Tabonina on the strength of Tripadvisor reviews and I was not disappointed. Laurent collected me from the airport and was a source of information, stories and advice throughout my trip. The rooms are clean, simple and equipped with all you need. I was offered a choice of rooms but was happy to stay in the main house. It... More

This is a small guest house about 10mins drive form the centre of Livingstone but on a lovely quiet street, the grounds are small but beautifully tended and clean with trees and flowers surrounding everything. My room was light and airy, clean and had everything I needed. Yes some areas needed a little work such as a few chipped tiles... More

Many thanks for your very kind review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Tabonina and hope to see you again very soon. One small precision: we are only 1,8 km - or a 4mn drive - from the Livingstone Museum, which is right in the centre of town. More

We had a great time at Tabonina. We arrived in Livingston fairly late in the evening by bus from Lusaka. It cost 20 kwacha to get from the bus terminal to Tabonina. We were very pleasantly surprised on arrival. We were greeted by very friendly staff members Belinda and Lance. We were travelling with another couple and had rooms 6... More

We spent one month in South Africa and Zambia. In tabonina we spent two nights in the big room in the main house. During most of our stay we have chosen B&Bs and were amazed by the outstanding places that we found. So beautiful, well equipped, etc... Very up market. We picked Tabonina in the same way, following the tripadvisor... More

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. First of all, I am surprised that your room wasn’t done on the morning of your second day at Tabonina. As you may remember, there was a huge group leaving that morning (eight rooms), our staff was extremely busy and your room must have been overlooked. That is a regrettable... More
