Mountain Gorilla View Lodge

"Gorilla Mountain View Lodge review"

4 nights Arrived 4 Sep 2011
"the staff were always ready to build fires in the room. Quality and variety of food could definitely be a lot better. Bar area is dark and uninviting.

Birding excellent around the lodge.

They supply a small kettle in the room but as there's no electricity from 1.30pm to 5pm, we're not able to enjoy any hot drinks!"

Swahili House

Swahili House

"Swahili House review"

2 nights Arrived 18 Sep 2011
"Generally disappointed with this hotel. The room they gave us had no chairs in it as only the Sultan suites have chairs, tables, terrace and a view! Also the toilet did not work properly.

In a coffee producing country, nescafe was served at breakfast.

If I had been made aware I would have booked Emerson Spice, a lovely new hotel."
