Great option if you're on a very tight budget

Cheap accomodation in Lusaka

The hostel needs to take extra effort in the cleanliness of their premises..very run down and the workers make so much noise in morning no courtesy for guests.

Awful experience

We arrived in Lusaka after a 50 hour train ride from Dar es Salaam followed by a very uncomfortable 3 hour ride in a packed mini van. We had no idea how long the train would take as there doesn’t seem to be a standard arrival time, so we hadn’t booked a room. The first place we went was full, so our taxi driver suggested this place. We were utterly exhausted so just agreed. The receptionist was just ice cold and he room was only half finished being renovated. It smelt of paint, the tiling in the shower wasn’t finished and there were loose electrical wires hanging down in the shower where a light should have been. But hey there was a bed and that was all we cared about, what’s a little electrocution? My partner went out to the bar to have a beer and chill out a bit, but the bar staff was really rude to him for daring to ask for a drink and then couldn’t give him change from 50 Kwacha even though there was a bar full of people drinking. She made him get the 10 Kwacha for the beer and water from the money we paid for the room and told him he had to pay it back in the morning. The next morning while he was out trying to get change, some guy came knocking at our door looking for the 10 Kwacha. He said he had lent my partner the money for the beer and needed the cash back. I had no idea who he was and it made no sense. Turned out they took the 10 from this guy. Place is just weird.

Stay somewhere else

Rooms, and particularly the restrooms, are in poor condition. The staff are only somewhat helpful. I also stayed at Flintstones in 2013. It didn't look like any maintenance had been done to the facility in since then. Also, the wifi never worked.

Not recommened

Unwelcoming, Staff is absolutely NOT helpful, stinky shower and toilet,  without toilet paper of course...  
Loud in the evening and in the morning. 
Bad value for money.
For the same price I would advise to go to Lusaka backpackers or something similar.
This place is not OK, and our expectations are low as we are two young backpackers with limited budget.

Terrible place 

We stayed in Flintstones for one night only, and I would not recommend it. I'm sure for the price we paid you could stay in nicer places. We stayed in a triple room and there was only 2 mosquito nets, the sheets has loads of stains, and the shared bathroom across the hall was grim. It had a hose for a shower and the room just felt so old. The toilet paper ran out in the bathroom and there was never any staff around to help or ask questions to. 

There's a bar out front and it would seem like the taxi drivers are just people drinking here. 

It's only good point is that it's only a 15 walk from the bus station. 

Would not recommend 

a very welcoming warm friendly place, helpful staff and good food only a little slow on food service but freshly cooked food no precooked meal definitely worth the wait.
free wifi accessible in all parts of the backpacker.
