Reviews of Sabyinyo Silverback

"This lodge blew my mind over the top of any expectations. A dedicated staff member named Clement made a fire for me in my cottage every afternoon. He picked up and returned all my laundry, freshened up my room whilst I was away on a gorilla trek, woke me up with a knock on the door and a pot of tea every morning…. Unbelievable. The main lodge looks out at the mountains where Dian Fosse lays in rest high up in the “mist.” The mountains have a special place in the hearts of all who live there. Someone met me at every arrival back from the treks with a hot wash towel and a smile. The main lodge is centered near a giant fireplace and sprawling lounge furniture where you instantly feel at home. You cannot be too long without someone asking if you would like something to drink. The food was five star and staff are there waiting on you with warmth and a gentle kindness. A large tub in the bath beckons you after a long trek. The nature trail meanders around the property and a gorgeous vegetable garden explains why all the food is so very delicious. I am ruined forever with standards that my own grocery store can never meet. I miss it already and hope to go back again." See all these reviews: 5n in Rwanda; 4n in Kenya

"Sabyinyo sits in a beautiful position with amazing views, and feels like a traditional lodge.

The team are amazing; nothing is too much trouble and they are without exception warm and friendly. Its well placed for the Volcanoes park.

"Good lodge with two trails. As my itinerary did not include any afternoon activities these two trails helped making my afternoons less boring" See all these reviews: 7n in Rwanda

"A beautiful Lodge with a friendly, attentive staff.

Wonderful accommodations. Great food. Sabyinyo Silverback does it all extremely well.

The staff does a superb job in preparing you for the golden monkey trek and the gorilla trek - providing gaiters, gloves, a backpack, a rain jacket and snacks.

We highly recommend this Lodge as a base for trekking in Volcanoes National Park." See all these reviews: 9n in Kenya; 8n in Rwanda

"We planned our whole trip (mostly) around Sabyinyo's availability and our stay there did not disappoint.

The lodge itself was immaculate, food was amazing (and they make the most delicious cocktails!), but the staff at Sabyiyo left the biggest impression on us. We're so grateful they took such good care of us, from drying our boots after the treks, to raingear and snacks they'd pack everyday for us.

On our last night at Sabyinyo, we sat outside of the kitchen and ended up hanging out with the entire staff for hours into the night, talking, laughing and just enjoying each other's company.

We cannot wait to bring our friends back to Sabyinyo and show them how great it is!" See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda

"Beautiful lodge, great service and very friendly and accommodating staff. Be prepared for stairs though!

Staff and management went out of their way to make sure my needs were met and I enjoyed my stay. I loved having a fire in my room when I returned in the afternoon. Also great having a soaking tub after a tough hike.

The main lodge has lots of different areas to hang out and enjoy the surroundings. You can always find a quiet nook for yourself. My hiking boots never looked better than when they whisked them away and cleaned them after my trek." See all these reviews: 4n in Rwanda

"Excellent lodge. Great service and very good food.

Very flexible service, adapting to the different times that people arrived or returned from treks. The cleaning of the hiking boots was amazing!

Super rooms and the open fire was a delight." See all these reviews: 10n in Rwanda

"This was a delightful place to stay - again further bolstered by the enthusiasm and friendliness of the staff - especially Patrick who looked after the 5 of us impeccably.

3 of our group stayed elsewhere and joined us for dinner in the evening - which worked extremely well, with Sabyinyo Silverback being welcoming and thoughtful over what was clearly an unusual request.

Our room was quite stunning and a great base following early morning starts and arduous hiking . The quality of service, which stretched to providing gaitors (and backpacks, gloves, raincoats and boots if needed), snacks for hiking, laundry and boot cleaning - along with evening fires in our room and hot water bottles was exemplary.

It was misty for much of our stay, but when the mist lifted the views were beautiful and the birdlife was abundant.

The standard of food was very high as was the cocktail making!

If you are travelling as a small group or a couple it does seem you have to accept the presence of a large tour group most evenings in the bar and restaurant areas." See all these reviews: 21n in Rwanda
