Masvingo's budget accommodation scene for backpackers is limited, primarily featuring one established hostel within the city.
1. Backpackers Rest
Type: Youth Hostel
Located centrally in Masvingo, Backpackers Rest provides dormitory beds and private rooms for those on a budget. Guests can access shared hot showers and a communal TV room. While the rooms may feel old-fashioned and the kitchen's cleanliness can be inconsistent, the staff are known for being helpful to travelers. Due to its city location, light sleepers might consider using earplugs.
At TFA Travel we believe in travel for all. Our mission is to enable people to explore the world as easily as possible without having to pay a travel agent a huge commission.
Our typical audience are those that want to see something new and get involved with authentic experiences of a country. Whether you are a backpacker, solo traveller, solo female traveller, straight or LGBTQ+ couple, family, you will find local and authentic experiences here.
