They forgot to supply water bottles, towels, tea, coffee,... when we arrived but when we asked they arranged this quickly! (very basic, but good). Breakfast was good on the second day, omelet, (cold) pancakes, white bread with butter but nothing to eat with this bread. The butter was expired. After informing them, we still received the same butter the next day... The staff needs some training about their hospitality and kindness to hotel guests, that would have given us a nicer experience... (not the receprionist 🙂) . F.e. at 7am they were moving iron tables across the floor next to our room which made an incredible harsh sound, but they forgot guests were sleeping... Over all a nice hotel to stay, just remember they work by African standards, not Western hospitality 😉

Big room, good bed, large and good working bathroom, water kettle available. They had a nice pool, a bar with a few things and a very kind receptionist Breakfast on the second day was nice. It is located outside of town, calm, somewhat difficult to get a bolt to town, but many boda boda's available. (motorcycles).

Lots of ants on one of our rooms. Dinner took a very long time to be served. We know it takes about an hour or so for our food order to arrive in Tanzania restaurants. This was almost 2.5 hours before we received our food. We ordered pizza and it was not edible. Worst pizza we ever had. Breakfast was much better. It was already premade when we arrived. Spanish omelette, toast, chapati, and fruit along with coffee and hot milk. There was a birthday party that lasted past midnight. Had called couple of times to ask when party would be over.

Quiet for most part. If they complete the garden, it will be more relaxing. Good views of the sunset.

The friendly staff and their welcoming attitude. We had booked another guesthouse in town which turned out to be full, so we were happy that Lahe was available.

Stayed in February 2023

It is quite a distance from town which made it difficult to get taxis easily (but the owner of the hotel was extremely accommodating regarding transportation).

Quiet, friendly staff, we were very impressed by the fact that we were given access to the hotel vehicle when we required it and at very reasonable rates. The breakfast was good.

Stayed in October 2022

The pool was really nice but I didn't bring a swim suit and it looked like it needed a good scrubbing. A little disappointed with the breakfast; there was no meat [I miss bacon] and didn't have a lot of flavor, very basic but it was sustenance that wasn't that bad.

Very nice rooms and very comfortable bed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would consider staying again. It was very quiet and relaxing.

Nothing really to complain about. Location is a bit of a ways to downtown Mwanza.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.

The room was small with no storage facility. The services were lacking in some ways

The staff and the owner were nice and hospitable.

The owner of the hotel is very kind and all his staff present for all our needs.

Stayed in March 2022

- There was no electricity (and therefore no WiFi and hot water) for an entire day - Staff does not speak English (except for the owner), so very difficult to communicate, especially at the reception and in the restaurant.

Ideal location to escape busy Mwanza. Very nice location with a view on Lake Victoria, close to the rocks. The owner is very friendly.

Stayed in March 2022

a bit difficult to reach and out of town, at times some confusion in communication (at what time food would be ready, we wanted to leave very early and they were delayed by almost 30 min..)

very comfortable bed, friendly owner and staff

Stayed in February 2022

No electricity and no generator so didn't have electricity for half of our stay and I needed WiFi which was not working.

Good facilities, pool and bar

Very nice surroundings and good value for money.

the manger Petter was very nice guy and very helpful and he made our stay worth it

- There were no some of the hygiene utensils like toothbrush and tooth paste, for the hotel/lodge of that standard its better to include them in the room, even if will need more costs.

Breakfast is Goog

Stayed in September 2021

Dinner in the restaurant could have been better, plus the preparation time was quite lengthy. There was a little tear in the toiletseat, which caused your skin to get stuck in it when you sat down. But this is an easy fix.

The staff really made our stay as wonderful as it was. Sanga and Seki took us to very nice places and Donald had many recommendations for activities. The rooms were spacious and clean. The airconditioning was great and the beds were very comfortable. The view from the rocks next to the hotel is amazing and if I am ever back in Mwanza I would definitely go back here to watch the sunset from these rocks again! We could easily extend our stay when we wanted to stay another night, so the staff was very flexible as well.

Stayed in August 2021

Staff stole 100,000 shillings and my gold earrings (that were hidden in my bag) from our locked room whilst we were at breakfast in the morning. The facilities are run down. I would not stay here.

The receptionist was nice, arranged for an airport pick up and we were able to check in at 2am.

Stayed in May 2024

There were no facilities there was no restaurant. The food took over an hour to cook and had to be booked an hour in advance. There was no bar to speak of the pool was cracked dirty and disgusting. The room. The shower didn't work. There was no TV that worked. This is a hotel that maybe 10 years ago was okay, but it is reallytotally not acceptable, and Booking.com has totally lost my faith in this booking, very dangerous for single travellers

Family a lot with the old man who manages it to spoke good English and don't polite in real gentlemen. Everything else was absolutely 100%. Must take it down as it is dangerous for single female travellers like me

Stayed in March 2024

Another comfortable outdoor chair would be nice as we had to take turns in the one provided

A lovely getaway from busy Mwanza . The hotel is comfortable and quiet with a nice swimming pool. The food was really good , best to get your order in a couple of hours before you want to eat . Rooms have hot water and a nice seating area outside . Easy to get a Bolt to / from town for around 6000 TZS

We continue to come back to this lovely spot. Very good value for the money

Stayed in December 2023

- The first room we were given was so dirty. There was dust on top of a lizard dropping. The duvet and towels were filthy, and the room smelt bad. There was remains of party on the floor as there was confetti. We complained and were moved straight away by the nice receptionist. - We were told beer and chips were a certain price in the day, but when we went to pay in the evening, we were charged a lot more. We were also charged in dollars despite being in Tanzania. The staff were extremely rude to us, as well as the lovely young man from breakfast and blaming him and laughing at him down the phone at him. It wasn't his fault he had had little training. This was a very uncomfortable experience and the worst customer service we have received. You can't laugh in customer's faces and expect us to be happy. -Location. Luckily, we had a car. I would recommend having a car if you stay here as it isn't close to anything. - I would recommend mosquito spray as the bathroom is filled with them. I know this is something that can't be helped because of the area, but just some advice. -If you order food there, expect to wait for a long time. -The pool looks as if it has been rejected and nobody looks after it. This may be because there were no other guests?

- The views from the hotel were really nice. Great place to watch the sunset, especially if you walk to the large rocks beside the hotel. -Second room was livable. - The receptionist who checked us in. She was friendly and helped us straight away when we had a problem with our first room. -There was a young man working at breakfast. He was working very hard. Charming and attentive. - The owner was charming and nice.

My stay was not really pleasant. It is way too expensive for what you get. They also overcharged me because they upgraded me to a better room. I never asked to be updated but they just did and charged me more than the room I initially booked. The food was okay but again too expensive for what you get. They charge everything in USD so the price change according to the fluctuation of the US dollar which doesn't make sense at all because we are in Tanzania. I feel like it is their way to scam people :/ I'm not American, I don't care about the USD, I have Tanzanian shillings so I don't understand why I should pay more because of the US... The staff was also quite rude. They don't care about you and most of them don't speak English so it is very hard to ask for basic things (like juice in the morning for example). I had to beg for toilet paper every day because they never gave me enough and they NEVER cleaned my room. I was there for 5 days might I add and not one day did they do the room. My dustbin was full and nobody emptied it. The facilities were really old, poorly maintained and deserted. There were a lot of insects in the room, I'm talking hundreds of ants, cockroaches, spiders, moths and mosquitos. A little mosquito here and there is understandable but hundreds of ants show a problem. I also had to leave earlier because of a medical emergency and no accommodations were offered. I understand they don't have to offer anything but it would've been nice. All in all, my stay in Mwanza was really tainted by this bad experience.

The bed was comfortable and the room was quite big. The view was also nice, you can see the city and a small part of the lake.

Stayed in August 2023

It's a little remote from Mwanza, which means there's a great landscape around, but does require 15 minutes to get into town (on motorbike)

The staff were so lovely and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable, and they even gave me some great transport deals. The hotel was beautiful and had a great view, and I enjoyed being able to swim every morning before breakfast.
