The best place to stay on the lakeside
I loved this little place, thought it was the prettiest and most charming along the beach. Having a bar and restaurant onsite was definitely a bonus. The staff are lovely and I would really recommend doing the sunset boat trip with snorkeling and eagle feeding. Overall excellent value, so much so that we thought we were undercharged for all our food and drink!

Lovely place - stayed in a thatched hut overlooking the lake. Breeze from the lake meant the room was a good temperature but there was also a fan. Nice seating area in garden with small pool. WiFi available around restaurant. Really tasty well priced food in the restaurant. Great value for the price.

The place is set in a great location. They gave me an upgrade which was very much appreciated. They also helped me coordinate tours. Food was delicious! Only downside was that it was a bit noisy.

It's a nice option if you want to stay in the area. Great waterfront location. Friendly staff. Well maintained and looked after. No wifi. Don't expect luxury, and bring a mosquito repellent.. Enjoy the nature and the scenery

Liked: Staff & service
Very friendly staff and people, unfortunately due to the rise of the lake water there was no beach. There were ants on the premises, and one of the days I woke up with ants on my bed. I used a floss stick that I threw in the garbage bin in the toilets, the next day it was in the garden in front of my lodge door. Not very nice.

Mgoza
Mgoza has the most beautiful setting with the trees and outdoor relaxation area next to the lake. Sadly my pillows had an odd smell like cat pee but the staff were amazing to change them right away. The staff helped me to organise day/boat trips which was helpful. I tried but did not get the chance to enjoy a hot shower during my stay as only cold water was available. Jeremiah at the front desk is kind and patient. Thank you for answering my questions. The main road is right behind the rooms so the loud music and people walking past is extremely loud. I can see why other reviews mention it. The food was was available and had a menu in which you could choose from.

Sehr einfach eingerichtet. Shampoo nicht vorhanden. Gerichte oft nicht verfügbar aber ansonsten gut. Einfach etwas um im typischen afrikanischen Leben einzutauchen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Nice cottage by the lake
Allan was great host. He gave us a better room free of charge. Sometimes problems with electricity, water and wifi, but it is normal in that area.

Zeer mooie en ontspannen plek, goed onderhouden. Schoon zwembad met uitzicht op het meer. Fijne kamers met alles wat je nodig hebt (o.a. grote bedden, warme douche, ventilator etc). Kamer kon echter niet op slot. Wat betreft communicatie van medewerkers valt nog winst te behalen (o.a. onduidelijkheid over beschikbaarheid keuken, onvriendelijke bejegening bij uitchecken).

Mgoza lodge is right on the beach, and it has a very nice garden, restaurant and pool. At the same time it is right in the middle of a village; the village life going on around the lodge and on the beach in front of it.
