Wir haben als kleine Reisegruppe leider nur eine Nacht in der Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge verbracht. Meine Lodge war sehr geräumig, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Besonders genossen habe ich das Kaminfeuer und die zwei Wärmflaschen im Bett. Es gibt WiFi sogar auf dem Zimmer. Das Abendmenue war sehr lecker. Das Personal sehr hilfsbereit und kompetent. Nach meinem Gorillatrekking musste ich noch auf meine Gruppe warten und wurde herzlich empfangen und umsorgt, obwohl wir schon ausgecheckt waren.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge. The location was perfect for both Gorilla and Golden monkey trekking, making it incredibly convenient for our adventure. The lodges themselves were spacious and exceptionally comfortable, offering a relaxing retreat after our treks. The food was consistently delicious, and we were delighted to find that a tasty vegetarian option was always available, catering perfectly to our dietary needs. But the true highlight was the exceptional service and hospitality. Manager Henry was incredible. He always went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. His warm personality and genuine care for our experience made us feel right at home. The front-of-house and restaurant staff were fantastic, especially Joy, Divine, and Priscilla. Their friendly smiles and helpful attitudes made our dining experiences even more enjoyable. And last but certainly not least, the foot massages we received were absolute heaven. Alliance and Esther did an amazing job making us feel relaxed and rejuvenated after our treks. All in all a very enjoyable stay and we would recommend 100%. Sharon and Sandor

I booked this hotel through *******. But, the hotel canceled on me due to overbooking on their part. They called me while i was in the car traveling to check in. I had to change reservations to another hotel. In addition, I never to this date, have received a refund. My bill on ******* was over $900. The hotel didn't bother informing ******* of their mistake. I am still waiting a refund. don't take a chance on this place.

We were blown away by this gem of a lodge right in the center of the gorilla trek action! The service was incredible, the food was delicious and beautiful (menu-selected items prepared by a chef!), the post-trek foot rub hit the anpot, and the amenities were top-notch. I would absolutely recommend this place to any and all traveling to the gorilla treks in Rwanda!

Lovely and large room with king bed and a fire place. Ensuite was also large. They also put hot water bottles in our bed at turn down - such a lovely gesture. Staff are extremely helpful and welcoming. Food good and fresh too. We also saw a Golden Monkey there too. Nb. Worth noting that the laundry service doesn’t include ironing/pressing.

This is a delightful small hotel in Kinigi, close to the Gorilla Experience headquarters. The rooms are in spacious huts with a fire and hot water bottles provided at night as it gets quite cold. The staff are extremely polite and helpful, lighting fires in the lounge and dining room at sunset and with little portable fires for each table. The setting is rustic and charming with 4 star facilities and don’t forget the wonderful complimentary foot massage and shoe cleaning after the gorilla trek. Delightful little hotel.
