The food is excellent (from the local vegetable and fruit garden) and rooms are spacious and well-maintained. The downsides are 11 km of dirt track in poor condition (allow extra 10-15 min relative to google maps estimate) and rooms can be too warm at night (24C at night, no aircon) ##### Alexander Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### nourdine 30 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities C'est isolé de tout, c'est bien pour se reposer, mais tout est fait pour consommer sur place avec tout de même des tarifs un peu excessifs, sinon l'endroit est très bien, mais pour y accéder la route est horrible et donc si j'avais su qu'il fallait emprunter une telle route j'aurais renoncé malgré le charme de l'endroit ##### nourdine Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### franck 16 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### franck Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### GERARD 21 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### GERARD Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jean-Marie 15 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Havre de paix sur les rives du Kivu ##### Jean-Marie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ada 17 Jun 2022 ##### Ada Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [5 Star Hotels in Lloret de Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Lloret-De-Mar-Hotels.s50-0-d5749.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Las Arenas Balneario Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valencia-Hotels-Hotel-Las-Arenas-Balneario-Resort.h1190502.Hotel-Information) > > [Arnarstapi Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arnarstapi-Hotels-Arnarstapi-Cottages.h17686690.Hotel-Information) > > [Ski apartment in the Flora complex in Borovets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samokov-Hotels-Ski-Apartment-In-Flora-Complex.h39941553.Hotel-Information) > > [Sayaji Jamnagar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Detroit-Hotels-Sayaji-Jamnagar.h66904507.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Indoor Pools in Boston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boston-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pools.0-0-d178239-tHotelswithIndoorPools.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [St Christopher's Inn, Newquay - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-St-Christophers-Inn.h1550064.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Duchy Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-The-Royal-Duchy-Hotel.h11710322.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Guyana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Guyana-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d74-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels near Crumpsall Tram Stop](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crumpsall-Tram-Stop-Hotels.d6175522.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from university of illinois urbana champaign williard airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/cmi/flights-from-university-of-illinois-urbana-champaign-williard-airport) > > [Flights from Shanghai (PVG) to Chek Lap Kok (HKG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pvg/hkg/shanghai-to-hong-kong) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Mobile (MOB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/mob/manchester-to-mobile) > > [Flights from Poole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/5659/flights-from-poole) > > [Flights from kars airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/ksy/flights-from-kars-airport) > > [Flights from Teesside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/182671/flights-from-teesside) ### Cars > [Car hire in Kirkbymoorside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Kirkbymoorside.d6048865.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Lulworth Cove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lulworth-Cove-Wareham.d6337125.Attraction) > > [Paradiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paradiso-Amsterdam-City-Centre.d6064669.Attraction) > > [Paris Country Club Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Country-Club-Golf-Paris.d553248621563226095.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Leeds City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Leeds-City-Center.dx6340976) ---
