We stayed here for 1 night, the accommodation was unique, large room, enormous bathroom, showers were hot but a little tricky to regulate, bed was comfortable, with lots of blankets and hot water bottle per person. We certainly were not cold. Food at restaurant was Also good and service was efficient. The views of the Virunga mountains from here was... More

This is not a luxury lodge, but a place suitable for groups and those whose goal is to spend their money on seeing the gorillas, not on their property. Rooms are spacious, with a fireplace and little porch, and are spread out (like little houses) across a fairly large property, so people who are not able to make long walks... More

This is a report from my experience at the MGVL in July 2012. I have had my bag and personal affairs stolen from WITHIN the lodges. Hotel staff who came to my room knew that my window had been broken and the screen torn, but did not say anything. I was calm and polite throughout the investigation and made sure... More

Visited in Jan 2013 and fell in love with this place, the cabins were a great size and made you feel like you were stepping back into a simpler time where the way you were going to stay warm was by having your fire lit all night. The rooms were very spacious and away from each other so that your... More

We spent two nights at the Mountain Gorilla View Lodge and loved every minute. It was cold when we arrived and we were greeted with lovely ginger tea to warm us up while we checked in. Our room was large and comfortable. A lovely log fire was lit every afternoon and it was delightful to fall asleep listening to the... More

Visited January 2013. Will try to be objective and suggest readers look at the excellent earlier reports on the Gorilla Mountain View Lodge on this page as they generally give an excellent description of the Lodge which is the worst hotel experience we have ever had. BUT. The memories of visiting the gorillas for two days make the Rwanda trip... More

After a very bumpy lead in road and wondering where in the world we were driving to, we came upon the Mountain Gorilla View Lodge. Considering that we were going to see the Gorillas in the nearby Volcanoes National Park, the lodging seemed appropriate as I do not think a lavish 5 star accommodation would. The backdrop for the lodge... More

I have given quite a bit of consideration as to how I should review this accommodation after our stay there 5 weeks ago, and have decided to tell it how it was-warts and all. We were booked to stay at this Lodge for 2 nights (booking made and paid for back in November) and arrived there full of anticipation for... More

Lovely rooms - huge. However, at the moment they only switch the power on for a few hours a day, so you have to be prepared to shower and charge phones, etc in this time. Heat in the rooms is by log fire which they make up for you, and they give you hot water bottles for the bed. I... More
