“Chimpanzee lodge”
+Amazing staff and 5 star home cooked fresh meals. Couldn't do enough for you.
−The bathroom is really badly designed that it makes the whole place wet. Not enough power socket in room, no mirrors in room.

“Very tidy place, amazing staff & close to Nyungwe”
+The location is very nice. You get beautiful views from the rooms as well as the restaurant. The rooms are very tidy and kept in good condition. I even got an upgrade to a bigger room free of charge because there were no other guests there. Nyungwe NP is very close and only a short drive with your own vehicle. The food at the restaurant is tasty and all of the staff are incredibly kind, helpful and just allround attentive and nice. They even had my washing done short notice in the evening before I left. Pascal, the receptionist, is very eager to help you out with anything you ask for.
−There is nothing remotely I would have any complaints about :)

“Not for this price...”
+The only good value was the service. People from the place do their best to comfort us, however poor quality of rooms, old demolished interiors vere not acceptable for the price.
−Broken handles, dirty walles, demolished bathroom facilities etc.

“Good hotel but overpriced”
+The staff is very welcoming. The hotel is very close to the entrance of the national park.
−It's overpriced since it's located nearby a road, shampoo is not provided, and hot water is not warranted.

“Great base for Nyungwe”
+Great place to use as a base for Nyungwe activities. The team, especially Albert, are very helpful and attentive and the food was very good. Make sure to try out the optional cultural activities as well. All were excellent and very easy to arrange through the lodge.
−The shower had a drainage problem so best to keep showers short but not a huge issue because rooms are serviced daily. Also it was a bit chilly at night.

“Disappointing”
+The view from the terrace was very nice and the location very good. Food in the restaurant was very good.
−Value for money was not good. It was the most expensive room I had on my trip through Rwanda and the worst. We even had a mouse in our room. Many things need a repair or a fresh up. It is very loud from the road and I couldn't sleep well. Sometimes communication problems with the staff.
