Stayed here twice. Both times with lovely views over the valley and the lakes. First tukul the shower leaked all over the floor and on the second visit in a different room the bathroom smelled a little sewery but with open windows it was not so bad. Dry season so not many mosquitos though some of the windows had screens.... More

Broken water pipes to the toilet when we checked in. Really awful staff in reception and at breakfast. Totally untrained. Management must do something about this. No refund provided for the 2nd night (advance payment) so we just left after one night . You find a lot better run and cheaper lodge in Dorse, with even more spectacular view of... More

I recently spent the evening here, and the views are spectacular. The lodge is clean and the food is good. There are cabins that look out to the lake and forest, for the rest of the cabins the lodge is set up with a number of seating areas to enjoy and take in the beauty. While still close to the... More

We were lured into the hotel by the promise of a swimming pool and unabstructed views from all rooms. Instead the pool had not been dug yet and our view was on servants quarters and the back side of a hut. The bath room door would not close, the tiles threatened to fall off the walls. The door frame got... More

This is the best accomodation in Arba Minch. The lodge has a wonderful location overlooking the socalled Bridge of God, a mountaineous area covered with forest between two lakes of the Great Rift Valley. Accomodation is in nice round tukuls. It seems however that individual travellers have a low priority compared to groups. We had timely reservations for 3 nights... More

We arrived at the lodge in the early evening darkness. After check-in at reception our helper guided us down the sidewalk pathway past many cool looking huts. We walked further and further into the darkness, then off-road across rumpled torn up grass and holes, past the double huts, to a bumpy gravel road and a strip of about 8 rooms... More

This place is far better than you will find anywhere in this region. Pros: The restaurant food is safe for Westerners. These are the first meals I could keep down in Ethiopia because they cook their meat, wash their dishes with clean water etc. That is huge when everyone gets so sick the first couple days in Africa. The huts... More

We stayed three days at this hotel, and were very impressed with the cleanliness and level of service. Upon arrival we were given a hut in the middle of the compound, but when we said we'd requested a hut next to the cliff with a view of the park, they quickly changed it for us. Part of the complex was... More

You drive through the National Park that by the way allows hunting of endangered species, stop and take a few pictures of the wildlife that is left to see and arrive at a hotel that looks like an upscale village with an incredible view. The restaurant has very acceptable food by western standards and each room looks like a bee... More

Very clean - hot showers once in a while - comfortable beds - tv with 5 channels (english too) - massage/spa service - restaurant /bar- and beatuiful views. Very fresh as everything is new -- it lies on top... More
