Decent experience, some issues

Pros: -Excellent location on the Awassa Lake -Service was tremendous, everybody was helpful and extremely kind -Free breakfast -Price is affordable Cons: -Wifi is bad and non-existent half the time(important for communication to other countries) -The bathroom smelled bad, we changed rooms but the problem persisted. Seemingly from sewage after flushing, even after a day of non-use -Food looked good but lacked flavor/seasoning -Not accepting credit cards at check-out for incidentals is very inconvenient

Lewi Resort gave us an unforgettable memory! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and offered a stunning view of the lake. The food was beyond delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The boat ride across the lake was peaceful and magical, with breathtaking scenery all around. Every detail of our stay was perfectly arranged. Whether relaxing by the water or enjoying the incredible meals, every moment was special. Lewi Resort is a true gem. We can’t wait to return again and again! Sara

I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. There were several issues that significantly impacted my stay: 1. Amenities: There was no safety deposit box in the room, and neither an iron nor an ironing board was available. 2. Bathroom Issues: The bathroom did not flush properly, which was a major inconvenience. Additionally, for a hot shower, I had to call the lobby. I also had to request additional bathroom tissues, and there were no napkins provided at all. 3. Water Supply: one day There was no water for several hours during our stay. This was extremely problematic and unacceptable. On a positive note, the staff were generally nice and helpful. However, the front desk staff were an exception to this. Their attitude and service left much to be desired, contrasting sharply with the rest of the team. If you want to enjoy the view of the hotel, I would recommend staying elsewhere and visiting as a guest. Overall, while the majority of the employees were friendly, the significant issues with the room and facilities, coupled with the unhelpful front desk staff, mean that I cannot recommend this hotel.

We stayed 12 years ago and it nothing has been updated. A little disappointed. The staff was great. The bungalow, even though listed as having a king pullout sofa and a king bed, only had a king bed and 2 chairs. We had to pay $30 dollars extra to get another bed in the room.

I was excited about going to a hotel with pool but when I arrived the swimming area was not available because of renovation. The room looked better on photos than in real life, the wait time for a menu in the restaurant is 30 minutes and the same to enter the spa there was pre-booked. My expectations was very high before I arrived but Lewi didn't live up to them. Alot of promises in the hotel description was not kept and there were no refund in price or any extra service to make up for the lack. Beautiful veiw and nice little boat trip (when we finally could go just before checkout)
