Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were so accommodative and bent over backwards to cater to our needs. The location is stunning and so are the grounds. The set up of the rooms means that there’s barely any light that infiltrates and so during the day you may need to switch on a light to find your way.

Schöne Lodge direkt am Viktoriasee
Sehr schöne Lodge direkt am Viktoriasee. Sehr schöne Zimmer mit Blick auf den See. Das Essen war leider nicht so toll. Wir haben mehr erwartet und erhofft.
