Perfect hotel for a get-away close to nature
Very nice hotel at the lakeside, surrounded by beautiful nature. Service is exceptional and rooms are extremely nice with slight need for refurbishment.
Note: Hotel is not serving alcohol and not smoker-friendly

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. The Cottage with plunge pool had an excellent view of lake Victoria and was tastefully decorated. For a tall person( 5'10) ,I must say there beds are quite spacious and comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by nature and makes for a quiet , chilled out spot. The waterbuck restaurant as well as the zebra lounge have a perfect view of the lake . Food was tasty as well. Staff were polite, pleasant and helpful. I would only recommend they add variety to the breakfast menu but other than that Waghill is an excellent hotel . You get bang for your buck

Wij verbleven in 2 tenten die over het meer kijken, de locatie is prachtig. Maar daar is ook alles mee gezegd. De tenten zijn oud, klein. gaan niet goed dicht en de badkamer is heel slecht. Het personeel moet je roepen, vragen of ze komen bedienen in het restaurant. Totaal andere ervaring dan de rest van Tanzania waar mensen vriendelijk en uiterst gastvrij zijn. Het eten in het restaurant is veel maar niet smakelijk, de vis was heel droog. Er zijn heel veel vliegen en muggen vanwege de lampen En toen we ‘s avonds bij de tent aankwamen zat de hele buitenkant van de tent vol met muggen. De tent is veel kleiner dan op de foto en staat vol met bedden, de meubels zijn oud en de badkamer had een gebroken spiegel. De plek is een vergaande glorie, ga hier niet heen. Niet alleen om de tents maar ook niet omdat ze dieren houden in de ‘zoo’ die niet diervriendelijk is

Obwohl auf Knieverletzung hingewiesen wurde, war das Zimmer in der nahezu leerstehenden Anlage fast 1km von der Rezeption entfernt. Bei nächtlicher Ankunft beleuchtete der begleitende Massai den Weg mit seinem Handy notdürftig. Nach Starkregen am Nachmittag war der mit Steinplatten ausgelegte Weg stellenweise sehr glitschig. Internet vor Ort wäre sicher gut gewesen, allerdings fehlte dazu der an der Rezeption am Morgen auf Nachfrage leider auch nicht erhältliche Voucher. Somit war keine Kommunikation mit einem mitreisenden Bekannten möglich. Das Moskitonetz war deutlich zu klein für das Bett. Sehr muffiger Geruch in dem schlecht gelüfteten Zimmer, das auch um Mitternacht noch ca. 26°C hatte. Insgesamt wurde der schlechte Eindruck abgerundet durch ein unfreundliches Telefonat mit der nie persönlich in Erscheinung getretenen Betreiberin.
Schade. Das Ferienressort liegt sehr schön am See. Als Hotel eher nicht geeignet.
