Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Exceedingly lovely staff. So many nice surprises like burning fireplaces in the rooms with hot water bottles in the beds, foot rubs and shoe cleanings after our hike. Mattresses were amazing. Food was quite good, the included breakfast is expansive. Very beautiful grounds. Live dancing one night. Lovely dog Sparky. A few words of caution: most of our showers did not have hot water. Drinks and dinner were pretty pricey, so would consider at least bringing your own bottled water. They didn’t have the best intel re: Mt. Bisoke hike, so we just took ourselves, got COVID tested and registered on site.

Disliked: Staff & service
Manager very unhelpful
We had made a booking here through expedia which the hotel confirmed. When we arrived we were sent to another hotel without an explanation. The manager Ruth was very unhelpful in offering any explanation or even giving formal confirmation that our booking was cancelled. Sad that she ruined the experience - other staff seemed to be cheerful and friendly.

Excellent Lodge for the Volcanoes National Park
The lodges in this resort are very large and very pleasant. The staff couldn't be more helpful. Each evening of my stay, one of the staff built an excellent, long-lasting charcoal fire in my room, making sure the room stayed beautifully warm. The meals were very good and very well priced. After my two visits to the National Park, the hotel team gave a much-appreciated and very thorough foot massage.
