Food was great. Get the Lewi special fries with ketchup and mayonnaise. Great view of the lake. Just don’t feed the monkeys. ##### Brett Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sara 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lewi Resort gave us an unforgettable memory! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and offered a stunning view of the lake. The food was beyond delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The boat ride across the lake was peaceful and magical, with breathtaking scenery all around. Every detail of our stay was perfectly arranged. Whether relaxing by the water or enjoying the incredible meals, every moment was special. Lewi Resort is a true gem. We can’t wait to return again and again!

Seemingly from sewage after flushing, even after a day of non-use -Food looked good but lacked flavor/seasoning -Not accepting credit cards at check-out for incidentals is very inconvenient ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Donna 13 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the food, the location (right on the water), the staff was very helpful.

Dishonest people and overpriced, poorly maintained rooms. Don’t stay there! LONG STORY LONG: Having traveled a bit, we are used to different standards in various regions and countries — we understand that in Ethiopia, hotels and services may have issues we aren’t used to, and we are generally happy to roll with it and not get bothered. However, after our previous mid-range hotel in Harar had no running water, we were looking forward to our several-day stay at the Lewi Resort in Hawassa, which billed itself as a four-star establishment. How sadly disappointed we were. The room we paid for ($132 per night) didn’t have a proper shower (just a trickle), a working telephone (though a disconnected one was “helpfully” sitting on the desk in the room??! Why??), and critically, there was no air conditioning — one of the reasons we booked the Lewi in the first place — which was falsely advertised both on their website and on Expedia. For a hotel in a lower price bracket, we likely wouldn’t have made a big deal about these issues, but for a so-called “four-star” resort at this price point, not having a functioning room, particularly the lack of air conditioning, was frustrating. We raised these concerns checking in on our 1st day. - see Google reviews ##### Chris Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 19 Apr 2021 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overpaid on Expedia.

A little disappointed. The staff was great. The bungalow, even though listed as having a king pullout sofa and a king bed, only had a king bed and 2 chairs. We had to pay $30 dollars extra to get another bed in the room. ##### kreg Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Calley 27 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Decent rooms but lacking in amenities - no hot water, no coffee in rooms (but coffee pots). Didn't receive our airport transfer coming from airport. Friendly staff made up for it in some ways, but we were disappointed overall in the quality of the rooms and service. ##### Calley Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ali 29 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities There are mistakes in the hotel description as there is no airconditioning, no tea & coffee making facilities, no kettle. We booked a family suite with 2 bedrooms, but on arrival they did not have it available and instead gave us a different set of room which were fine. Even though the descriptions did not meet reality, the feel of the hotel was lovely and friendly. The monkeys add some African interest and the staff are very helpful. Breakfasts are hit and miss. Book a room with lake view as these have more air flow (as there is no AC) ##### Ali Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mirko 1 Jun 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities the only thing that was OK, was the bread! Bed is a made up circle that was very hard due to not having a mattress . Walls had holes by the windows that were not sealed so insects were free to enter! Food was terrible, made me sick for two days! So called city tour was never available! Mosquito net above the bed was useless! The staff was very friendly but who cares about that when everything else is terrible! ##### Mirko Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Morten 20 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness I was excited about going to a hotel with pool but when I arrived the swimming area was not available because of renovation. The room looked better on photos than in real life, the wait time for a menu in the restaurant is 30 minutes and the same to enter the spa there was pre-booked. My expectations was very high before I arrived but Lewi didn't live up to them. Alot of promises in the hotel description was not kept and there were no refund in price or any extra service to make up for the lack. Beautiful veiw and nice little boat trip (when we finally could go just before checkout) ##### Morten ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Country Houses Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scotland-Country-Houses.d11219-aaCountryHouses.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hostels Tenby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hostels.d182887-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Mezena Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lalibela-Hotels-Mezena-Resort-And-Spa.h28782980.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuriftu Resort & Spa Lake Tana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bahir-Dar-Hotels-Kuriftu-Resort-Spa-Lake-Tana.h19481470.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Resort Arbaminch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arba-Minch-Hotels-Emerald-Resort-Arbaminch.h27243272.Hotel-Information) > > [Haile Resort Arbaminch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arba-Minch-Hotels-Haile-Resort-Arbaminch.h25021946.Hotel-Information) > > [Asham Africa Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Addis-Ababa-Hotels-Asham-Africa-Hotel-And-Resort.h21165558.Hotel-Information) > > [Resorts New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotel-Resorts.d178293-aaHotelResorts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Cliff Edge Hotel - Lalibela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lalibela-Hotels-Cliff-Edge-Hotel-Lalibela.h14680125.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Northfleet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northfleet-Hotels.d3000417099.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Homes Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dartmouth-Private-Holiday-Homes.d4621-aaPrivateHolidayHomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Planet Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mekele-Hotels-Planet-Hotel.h11699932.Hotel-Information) > > [Yaya Africa Athletics Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Addis-Ababa-Hotels-Yaya-Africa-Athletics-Village.h5285190.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in West Wittering](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Wittering-Hotels.d553248629501798811.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Lalibela Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lalibela-Hotels-Lalibela-Lodge.h14679476.Hotel-Information) > > [Cecil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kohistan-Hotels-Cecil-Hotel.h71430524.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mediterranean](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Hotel-Mediterranean.h699306.Hotel-Information) > > [Nega Bonger Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Addis-Ababa-Hotels-Nega-Bonger-Hotel.h18609396.Hotel-Information) > > [The village agonda beach cottages ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canacona-Hotels-The-Village-Agonda-Beach-Cottages.h91480301.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from colonsay airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/csa/flights-from-colonsay-airport) ### Packages > [Gaza Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gaza.d553248635974658895.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Grosvenor G Casino Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grosvenor-G-Casino-Blackpool-South-Shore.d6280552.Attraction) > > [Fisherman's Bastion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fishermans-Bastion-Budapest-City-Centre.d6062435.Attraction) > > [Italian Lakes Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Italian-Lakes.d6094917.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General ---
