You can walk from the Zambia-Zimbabwe border! It was a great hotel in this area, reasonably priced, clean, and had a hot shower! Although I didn't use it, there was a restaurant and pool in the hotel, and a supermarket nearby!

I stayed in a dormitory.
The room, shared shower, and toilet were all well-cleaned and nice.
I planned to stay one night but ended up staying an extra night.
However, there is a bar space which is very noisy and plays music until late at night, so it may not be suitable for people who want to relax.
I was tired so I ate at the restaurant attached to the hotel. A beef burger was $9 and a beer was $2.
The taste was okay.

The reception was great at helping with tours. However, the AC shut itself off at night, which was unideal if you wanted to close windows to keep the insects out.
