Great lodge close to gorillas with attentive and friendly staff and warm reception - especially from Sparky. And a special shout out to Devine who looked after us along with the team. Rooms spacious and well equipped with attractive gardens

After an adventurous ride on African roads we came to this scenic heaven - very green and welcoming. It was our starting place to hike to the golden monkeys, where we had an amazing time wandering in the midst of them. But back to the Lodge - excellent, super friendly and helpful staff, food was great sitting beside a burning fire place - necessary! - and the best surprise were the warm water bottles in the bed, which were absolutely needed in September.

Just a one night stay in one of the houses. The house is spacious with a living area, bed and separate bathroom. It also has a fireplace. Why, you would ask in warm Rwanda? Well, you are at an altitude of 2000 meters and it is cold here. The stone house contributes to that cold feeling. When we went for diner the staff lit it and even put a hot water bottle in our bed, which is needed. Staff is over-friendly again, and you are welcomed with the, for us now usual, warm towel, drink and briefing. Diner takes place on the top floor where it is cold as well, however you will get a stove placed next to the table, which is sufficient to keep you warn during the diner. Food quality is mediocre. Breakfast is ok.

We stayed here for 2 nights. It is in the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, where you can trek Golden Monkeys and Gorillas. Very nice hotel, friendly and competent staff, good restaurant (you choose from 2 options for starters, main course and dessert in advance, all the food we had was very good). Spacious rooms with a comfortable bed, the staff prepare a fire in the chimney and put a bed bottle in your bed while you have dinner, as the nights can get very cold. Can definitely recommend a stay here.

Da Vinci Gorilla lodge is a great place to stay. It has Lots of wonderful touches to make your stay very comfortable! I loved the fire on cold nights, having my boots cleaned, and foot massages. Plus the food was amazing! Will definitely be rebooking!

We were first alerted to the problem when we asked for towels. There was only one left in the room, but it was damp. We later found out why - the room was damp, with mould in the bathroom. Also the (sewerage) smell from the bathroom drain was awful. Food was variable - when there were a number of guests, the buffet style was luke-warm and mediocre. In contrast when a number of the guests left, the food reverted to a la carte and was excellent, indicating a problem with the staff serving the food in the case of the buffet. This seemed to be in contrast to the generally friendly and helpul staff greeting you on arrival with a lovely juice and towel, wash boots and gaiters. If only they could get it all together. It was well located, with a short walk just down the road to the Ellen DeGeneres Campus for the Dian Fossey, which was well worth a visit

Absolute gem of a lodge! So charming with a friendly and welcoming staff ready to take care of your every need. Complimentary foot massages and boot cleaning after the gorillas was amazing! Great food, hot water bottles to warm your bed and fires set in your room every evening made you feel absolutely pampered. Priscilla and Leonard and the whole staff made us feel like family from our first moment with them. We highly recommend Da Vinci Lodge to anyone going to see the Mountain Gorillas and Golden Monkeys.
