There are better options in Bahir Dar - go to the Blue Nile for ease of vacation, kuriftu is good only if you want to disconnect from the world completely. ##### Stephen Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### walter 23 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good hotel but in decline I've stayed here every year for the past five years of trips to the area. It is still the best hotel in Bahirdar but it is in decline the rooms are quanint but some have major water damage in the bathrooms with mushrooms growing on the falling ceiling. This trip I had water problems with no hot water in the shower. The spa was extremely disappointing my hour long massage only lasted 30 minutes and it wasn't great. In the past stays the massages some of the best I have ever had. ##### walter Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Bethlehem 31 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A pleasant stay Our stay was pleasant. The hotel has a Flint Stone feeling. Clean, Quiet, Relaxing, staff are attentive. Pro: The lake view, central and safe location, the free MASSAGE is priceless, Clean and eco-friendly rooms, free airport shuttle, free breakfast Cons: Wifi was nonexistent. None of us were able to respond to our work emails, very irritating. The pool is dirty green/ algae (We had children who wanted to swim), restaurant food is 5/10, food service takes at least an hour or more to be served even for the simplest cup of tea and the food is not that good. Our group of 11 split and went to an outside restaurant after a couple of days of unpleasant experience, when we return from lunch the other half is still waiting for their order. The room key is single if you are couple. ##### Bethlehem Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amelework 23 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I really appreciate everything and all the team was amazing ##### Amelework Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### FREDERIC 9 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceptionnel Probablement le meilleur hotel de BAHIR DAR, tout est beau, le service est vraiment au top et le SPA de trés bonne qualité.

Spacious rooms with nice terrace where you can relax with a wood burning fire in the evening. Very friendly staff. However, property could be updated a bit. Wifi is weak unless you’re in the lobby - need signal boosters. Shower has no water pressure, and little regulation of hot and cold. Doors do not shut or lock easily (bar serves as lock once inside), and while rooms are sprayed, mosquitos do get into the room requiring manual spraying. Hotel does offer netting for beds which is good. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 31 Oct 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities Hotel location I’d wonderful, next to lake. The property is quirky, with stone buildings and tress. We could not connect to wifi during our stay. We had to move from our first room as it had no hot water and was next to the main road. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 15 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super African Traditional style. Only Mosquitos problem. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Mrs Turid 29 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best place in Bahir Dar We stayed at this lovely place 2 nights. It was easy to book trips on the lake to the monastries and to Blu Nile from the site. The outside bar was a beautiful place with a wonderful view. The restaurant and the hotel are the best in town. The wifi was ok. If you go there, find time to take a walk on the path just under the bar to the smal local harbor and have a coffee or beer there. ##### Mrs Turid Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew 4 Jul 2019 Disliked: Staff & service #### Poor service and attention to detail The place was built with incredible originality and love, but must now have a different owner as there is no style or attention to detail in much of anything. The reception is dark and somber, the rooms very unclean around the edges, and the exposed incandescent bulb the lighting of choice. The fish at the restaurant is cooked to something resembling jerky, which itself feels like the vast dining hall of an all-inclusive resort. It seems there is no one around really running the show, and the English and training level of the staff is outright poor. There’s certainly worse, but it’s sad to see a place with such lovely potential operated by someone who seems to have no clue how to run a hotel. ##### Matthew Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peter 18 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Hotel was overall good. Restaurant was slow, breakfast not very good, but service was fine. Best about the stay was the fantastic massage in the spa. ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Naomi 1 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful place - poor service This is a beautiful hotel and could be really lovely. Unfortunately the hotel is quite dysfunctional. Despite emailing three times and being assured that every flight was met, I was the only person on the flight not picked up by shuttle. While they then upgraded my room as a gesture, this was only the first issue. I was told the hotel was fully booked and I couldn’t stay the next night (despite availability online). This meant I had to cancel a trip that was planned for the next morning. It was only later that morning they admitted they had made a mistake and had availability, despite my raising it the afternoon before. The staff try hard but lack training. Sitting down at the restaurant I would only get a menu each time after asking twice and waiting 30 minutes. The food was okay but some dishes are not cooked properly. Unfortunately the lack of basic information and poor service makes what should be a nice place to stay, quite a stressful place. The hotel also was very unhelpful providing basic information about travelling. I asked 4 times about onward travel to Gondar. It was only after a lot of trying that they told me the information about buses. I think the hotel doesn’t want independent travellers and wants to charge a premium to book everything privately for you. With a little effort this could be so lovely! The massage which is included in the stay was lovely! ##### Naomi Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### GREAT LOCATION RIGHT ON LAKE TANA! Great location right on Lake Tana. Excellent service. Food at restaurant was just OK. Friendly and very polite staff. Free massage was a plus but masseuses need more training. Will definitely stay at this resort again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Barbara 29 Nov 2018 Very accommodating staff. ##### Barbara Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Carol, Uk 26 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely view.

The resort was beautiful, with a lovely view over Lake Tana. Our room was very comfortable and we were even given an upgrade with an upstairs room, it had a view of the lush garden and also Lake Tana. The hotel was very clean throughout and we ate regularly at the restaurant where the staff were very attentive and the food was good. There were occasions where the full menu wasn’t available but this didn’t distract from the experience. We took advantage of the free massages which were a nice bonus. The pool area was lovely and clean and we really enjoyed spending time relaxing either on the loungers and the couches which overlooked the lake. WiFi was a bit hit and miss, as was the water which was cut off on occasion but again this didn’t particularly impede on our time there and perhaps wasn’t necessarily the hotel’s fault. Overall, a very pleasant stay and we would definitely recommend Kuriftu if you are planning on visiting Bahir Dar. ##### Judith Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith 26 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A definite recommend for Bahir Dar Our stay at Kuriftu was fabulous. We enjoyed the free massages and the staff were friendly and helpful on the whole. The room was fabulous, spacious and comfortable. Occasional power and water outages, but these were very brief. We’d definitely recommend this hotel. It was our best stay during all of our time in Ethiopia. ##### Judith Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maya, Israël 15 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff is very nice and helpful. The hotel has a very typical architecture that doesn’t clash with the environment (unlike other hotels in the surroundings). The room was very nice and cleaned every day (twice). We had some trouble with the electricity plugs and noise (we came on Ethiopian New Year’s Eve, the first night we didn’t sleep at all because of the noise, next days were much better, although you can hear the moazine from close by mosque every day at 4:00am). The restaurant of the hotel was very nice. The swimming pool was dirty so we didn’t use it. I took one complementary massage- it was very nice although the massage was only 30min long (instead of 45min)- but we found it to be a very nice complementary service from the hotel to offer. We would definitely stay at the same hotel if we come back to Bahir Dar ##### Maya Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina, Münster, Deutschland 3 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Oase inmitten von Bahir Dar mit Seeblick Das Kariftu ist ein wunderschönes Hotelzimmer direkt am Tanasee. Die Zimmer sind sehr geräumig, sauber und schön! Auch das Restaurant hat ein sehr gutes Essensangebot und ausgezeichneten Service. Der Spaß mit seinen Massagen waren ebenso ausgezeichnet. Lediglich vom Informationsfluss an der Rezeption waren wir etwas enttäuscht. Informationen über Busse o.ä. mussten wir selber rausfinden. Auch die beiden Touristguides waren eher uninformiert und haben uns z.b. einen völlig überteuerten Bus nach Gondar organisiert. So etwas dürfte bei den Preisen nicht sein. Alles in allem haben wir uns aber sehr wohl gefühlt und können das restliche Personal nur loben! ##### Christina Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful place to stay in which i recommend to everyone. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kuriftu Resort & Spa Bishoftu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Addis-Ababa-Hotels-Kuriftu-Resort-Spa-Bishoftu.h18799607.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Perast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perast-Hotels.d6140929.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Rokxy Townhouse - Kings Cross](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Albion-House-Hotel.h6881297.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lochinver](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lochinver-Hotels.d8507.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Apartments Great Yarmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Yarmouth-Apartments.d4647-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Wheatsheaf Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newport-Hotels-The-Wheatsheaf-Hotel.h15102818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near The Stables Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Stables-Theatre-Hotels.0-l553248621532491995-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lure Hotel & Spa- Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mellieha-Hotels-Lure-Hotel-Spa.h66962857.Hotel-Information) > > [Calis Beach - Beautiful 4 bedroom villa with private pool and WiFi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fethiye-Hotels-Calis-Beach-Beautiful-4-Bedroom-Villa-With-Private-Pool-And-Wifi.h19526821.Hotel-Information) > > [Mythical Blue Luxury Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Mythical-Blue-Luxury-Suites.h18664853.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Bilbao Jardines De Albia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-Mercure-Bilbao-Jardines-De-Albia.h891192.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Conrad-Las-Vegas-At-Resorts-World.h60884493.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Bristol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d688-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Maynooth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maynooth-Hotels.d12007.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Grand Villa Argentina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubrovnik-Hotels-Grand-Villa-Argentina.h1368733.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel Folkestone, a member of Radisson Individuals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-View-Hotel-Folkestone.h900681.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Temple Newsam House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Temple-Newsam-House-Hotels.0-l6082837-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anadolu Hotels Didim Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Didim-Hotels-ADRINA-BEACH-RESORT-HOTEL.h46263453.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Melbourne Southbank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Mercure-Melbourne-Southbank.h898381.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Sunwing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunwing-Flights.cWG.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Orlando (MCO) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mco/las/orlando-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Madrid (MAD) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mad/lhr/madrid-to-london) > > [flights from tan son nhat intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/sgn/flights-from-tan-son-nhat-intl-airport) ### Cars > [Car hire in Knock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Knock.d6057815.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Wimbledon Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wimbledon.d179539.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Maya Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maya-Beach-Koh-Phi-Phi-Leh.d6232672.Attraction) > > [Altea Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Altea.d182272.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Yllas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yllas.d6085170.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Lomo Quiebre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lomo-Quiebre.dx553248635975857043)
