It was a lovely few days away from the hustle and bustle of Addis Ababa. The resort has fabulous animals around - Six large tortoises roam around, rabbits you can feed, and so much fascinating birdlife (Jan can tell you more about the birds around the lake). Our room was a sort of treehouse which was very fun and had a stunning view of the lake when you wake up in the morning. All the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, and it was very easy for us to arrange trips nearby through the lodge - we went to Green Crater Lake by bajaj (tuk-tuk) with a driver from the lodge. The food was good, and the reception area was a great place to relax and take in the views. I would recommend Babagoya Viewpoint Lodge to anyone wanting something with more of a homemade feel than a hotel, hidden away in the trees around the beautiful Bishoftu Guda lake. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D45FC83E39674DF3CE82D4F1A0F29D221E4CE4B81617279464788.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4B49BD0694DCC15C3497A2FB3A2E80F7C723C4FD1617279458629.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karmen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Martine Mar 26, 2021 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Martine Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Oct 13, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff are not helpful .

The setting is one of the most beautiful in the world. It is right on the lake and is completely unbelievable. The rooms themselves were interesting. It was mud hut which was actually quite quaint and kind of fun. The concern was the bathroom. It was not clean and did not work very well. There was no toilet paper and we had to ask several times for that. It showed internet access when we booked it but that was only available in the eating area, not in the rooms. Overall it was fun but be aware of what you are getting into, especially in regards to the bathroom facilities. They were also not going to let us leave because they said we had not paid for it, although we had pre-paid. We finally got that resolved but it took a few minutes. ##### Jeff Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mr D A Jul 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A really warm welcome. While the accommodation is a little basic, the location and the helpfulness of the staff make this a wonderful place to stay near Addis Ababa. The price is very reasonable and the food freshly cooked, with a variety of Ethiopian and international dishes. Jan and his family go out of their way to make your stay memorable. I am a keen birdwatcher and Jan personally took me out at no cost, showing me the best sites so I could go again on my own later. Unless you are looking for luxury this is a real find. ##### Mr D A Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jens Oct 4, 2017 Liked: Staff & service #### Hotel med flot udsigt Hotel med fin beliggenhed, alle nødvendigheder er til rådighed på stedet, værelserne meget rustik udformning og øko-venligt simpelt indrettet. Flot beliggende med udsigt ned over søen. I regntiden kan det godt være en udfordring, da terrassen er eneste værested, med rindende vand fra taget. Køkkenet er udmærket, igen med det simple i fokus. Er der strømsvigt, og det er der tit, især i regntiden, skal man ikke have stramme tidsplaner, de holder ikke på hotellet i almindelighed, og i Ethiopien i særdeleshed. ##### Jens Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel, Canada Dec 24, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ethiopias hidden gem This place was amazing. A delightful blend of Ethiopian culture and Mediterranean esthetic. The food on the menu was delicious every time, whether it was spaghetti or shiro. The hotel owner and his staff were always available to bring you to the market or recommend good sight-seeing. Waking up in the morning to a flock of cormorants roosting near your treehouse is once in a lifetime, and even the 106 steps down the terraced yard is worth it to take a canoe trip on the lake. This place is well worth the hour drive from addis and we will certainly come again when we are next in Ethiopia! ##### Rachel ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jun 29, 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful setting, pleasant staff, horrible bed Nice, restful location.

Zu einem günstigen Tarif wird auch ein Abholservice von Addis (z.B. Flughafen) organisiert. Der Personal allgemein ist sehr hilfbereit und kompetent. Der Besitzer, ein Belgier gibt Auskunft über viele Destinationen in ganz Äthiopien und hilft bei der Reiseplanung. Die Anlage selbst ist unter ökologischen Gesichtspunkten mit einfachen und möglichst regional verfügbaren Mitteln in die Höhenstufen des Abhangs integriert. Die einzelnen Bungalows bieten durch Glasfronten ausgezeichnete Sicht auf den See und die Vogelwelt, bei manchen ist beim Ein- und Ausstieg Geschicklichkeit gefordert. Die Terrasse ist geschmackvoll mit regionalen und konfortablen Möbeln ausgestattet und bietet auch eine herrlichen Ausblick. An Freizeitangeboten sind Fahrräder, Kanus und ein Tischtennistisch verfügbar, das Wasser des Sees ist billharziosefrei. ##### Susanne ### 6/10 Okay #### Maciej, Poznań Oct 1, 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort piękne położenie nad jeziorem, miła obsługa i dobra kuchnia. Przyrodniczo bardzo fajnie - ale warunki dość proste:wspólna łazienka i WC dla części pomieszczeń motelowych, w pokojach z łazienką toalety spłukiwane z ręcznie napełnianego zbiornika. Fajnie, ale dla niewymagających.Zasadniczy problem to BRAK łączności z internetem. Dotyczy to nie tylko tego hotelu, ale całej okolicy. Gospodarze bardzo mili, atmosfera domowego luzu. ##### Maciej ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meridith, USA Aug 8, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### AMAZING Fabulous weekend...so much fun staying in a treehouse room, kayaks and bikes available, delicious pancakes!! ##### Meridith ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 6, 2014 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Beautiful grounds.

Der opstod dog nogle "alvorlige" skuffelser; der var ikke wifi, som det står i hotelbeskrivelsen, myggenettene var der ikke alle sammen, og dem, def var der, var for små til sengene, det var meget høj musik fra en tætliggende bar HELE natten kombineret med hundegøen. ##### Solveig ### 6/10 Okay #### Jocke Bertell, Sweden Apr 8, 2014 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Homey feeling lodge This is the place for the adventures people that doesn't fear a few bugs, we stayed in the middle of the compound, we had to climb stairs to enter the room through a hatch in the floor. Breathtaking views from the room and lots of privacy around the compound, water in the lake was ok to swim in. The owner and staff made it feel a little bit like as if it was home. Tortoises on the lawns as robotic lawnmowers and the family rabbit were other discoveries. ##### Jocke Bertell ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 3, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Schöne Lodge nicht weit von Addis Öko Lodge mit phantastischem Seeblick, Ideal für Vogelliebhaber. Wunderbare Ausflüge zu den umliegenden Seen und Dörfern, interessanter Markt in Debre Zeyt - viel angenehmer als der große Markt in Addis. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 10, 2013 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Fint men lite dyrt För priset hade det varit uppskattat med t.ex. internet. Men väldigt fint läge och trevlig personal så jag är nöjd med vistelsen. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Brian, Basrah, Iraq Nov 5, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nature Walk First things first, pay attention to the name of the property - it's a LODGE... not a RESORT. If you need a butler and 5-star amenities, then keep searching. But if you want to become one with nature, then this might be the place for you. Upon arrival, just walk in and pick the hut/room you want. There are two types; the ones near the entrance that have a shower & toilet... and the ones down the walkway closer to the lake, which don't have a toilet. Also, if you want to order a meal, they won't deliver it down by the lake. All beds have mosquito nets. Early one morning, I did take advantage of the kayaking opportunity. I paddled out to the middle of the lake and just took it all in... breathtaking views, various bird calls, and the peace & quiet that you will not find in Addis Ababa. The meals were delicious... and if you receive an invitation to partake in the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, then take it. I highly recommend the pizza (huge) and the fish. They will also escort you into town for a shopping excursion. Although Wi-Fi is advertised, connectivity is sporadic due to the hotpoint belonging to the resort across the lake. Also, one night I had to bathe via a bucket of warm water. No big deal... after all, it is a lodge. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anybody who wants to get away from it all, and doesn't mind "roughing it". The owners/staff were courteous & helpful. I only stayed for two nights... but three or four would be ideal as well. ##### Brian ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tris, Northampton Oct 14, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Friendly resort Great place to stay 1 1/2 hrs outside Addis Ababa Quirky huts near water side, with exceptional views recommended. ##### Tris ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fahrt hin und Genießt ein unbekanntes Land, Debry Zeyit ; Äthiopien Oct 8, 2013 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Große Landschaft, super nette Angestellte ein schicker aufenthalt in großer Natur. Dazu geben sich die Gastgeber ( Sara und Jan) nebts ihren Angestellten alle Bedürfnisse und Fragen der Gäste zu Befriedigen. Zimmer einfach aber zweckmäßig ausgestattet.

Auch kann man sich in der stadt , auf dem markt und überalle frei bewegen , ohne dass einem etwas passieren könnte. Das Gesamtpaket in Debre Zeyit mit unterkunft , Menschen und Natur hat einfach super gepasst ##### Fahrt hin und Genießt ein unbekanntes Land ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Iberostar Selection Anthelia](https://www.expedia.ca/Adeje-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Anthelia.h1216803.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Kabanel by HappyCulture](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-The-Originals-City.h8115.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in High River](https://www.expedia.ca/High-River-Hotels.d56739.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Secrets Tulum Resort & Beach Club - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tulum-Hotels-Secrets-Tulum-Adutls-Only-All-Inclusive.h89768532.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Grove Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Delta-Hotels-Beach-Grove-Motel.h6523466.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlisle Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Carlisle-Inn.h19761082.Hotel-Information) > > [Santiburi Koh Samui](https://www.expedia.ca/Koh-Samui-Hotels-Santiburi-Koh-Samui.h1823702.Hotel-Information) > > [The Moore, a Member of Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-The-Moore.h71387301.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Moab](https://www.expedia.ca/Moab-Cabins.d6176216-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [WestJet](https://www.expedia.ca/WestJet-Flights.cWS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Hanoi (HAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/han/toronto-to-hanoi) > > [WestJet Calgary (YYC) to Santa María Huatulco (HUX) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-calgary-intl-to-bahias-de-huatulco-intl/ws/yyc/hux) > > [Flights from Nice (NCE) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nce/lis/nice-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yyz/winnipeg-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Kamloops (YKA) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yka/yhz/kamloops-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178314/flights-from-toronto) > > [Royal Jordanian](https://www.expedia.ca/Royal-Jordanian-Flights.cRJ.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Medicine Hat (YXH) to Grande Prairie (YQU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxh/yqu/medicine-hat-to-grande-prairie) ### Cars > [Hertz Car Rentals In Vancouver Intl](https://www.expedia.ca/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver-Intl.d5396057-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Cruise > [Cruises from Long Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-from-Long-Beach.d2058.Cruise-Departure-Port) ### Activities > [Things to do in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Sainte-Marie-Du-Mont.d6173451.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Gibsons](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Gibsons.d55313.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### General > [Visit Ring of Kerry](https://www.expedia.ca/Ring-Of-Kerry.dx6056882)
