Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Superb setting, tough access road

The setting of the hotel is superb – nice beach (the water has great mineral quality to it), different walks at the door step (Congo-Nile trail or lakeside paths, coffee washing station nearby is great to visit). The food is excellent (from the local vegetable and fruit garden) and rooms are spacious and well-maintained. The downsides are 11 km of dirt track in poor condition (allow extra 10-15 min relative to google maps estimate) and rooms can be too warm at night (24C at night, no aircon)

C'est isolé de tout, c'est bien pour se reposer, mais tout est fait pour consommer sur place avec tout de même des tarifs un peu excessifs, sinon l'endroit est très bien, mais pour y accéder la route est horrible et donc si j'avais su qu'il fallait emprunter une telle route j'aurais renoncé malgré le charme de l'endroit
