Buena opción a precio moderado

El hotel ofrece lo que tiene para el precio que cuesta (unos cuarenta o cincuenta euros por noche). Lo mejor es la atención al cliente y la cocina. Lo peor, la habitación: es muy básica, con una cama cuyo somier se hunde por la mitad y ni siquiera una papelera en parte alguna (por supuesto, tampoco gel de ducha o champú). El dueño, Gerald, es muy amable y servicial. La carretera que lleva hasta el villorrio de Buhoma (lugar donde se encuentra y desde donde se parte para ver los gorilas) es la peor de todo el país: verdaderamente pésima. El cocinero de origen congoleño es fantástico. Es aconsejable quedarse solo una noche (la anterior a la caminata para ver los gorilas), y no más.
