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

Lovely cabins with great view of the Volcanoes. The room was very large and clean (didn't see any spiders, if that sort of thing bothers you :) Our Safari was booked with Primate Safaris, who I absolutely loved! ATR was the main company we used to book our safari package in Rwanda and Tanzania. The food was great, and I... More

We spent 2 nights in room 29 which was nice and secluded. the room was huge with a fireplace and hot water bottle for warming up your bed. The restaurant was very acceptable with buffet style food. The service was great and the people working there so humble. they came and started our charcoal fire place, place hot water bottle... More

We stayed at the Mountain Gorilla View Lodge as part of a gorilla-tracking package with Let’s Go Travel. The lodge is located near the foot of the Virunga Mountains between Rwanda and the DRC (Congo). It is a pretty rough road leading off the main road to the lodge. The rooms consist of bungalows scattered in a wooded area connected... More

My wife and I were in a group of 14 who stayed at the Mountain Gorillas View Lodge for 3 nights and we liked it very much. The location, about 15 minutes drive from Volcanoes National Park, was excellent. The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms perhaps too large with slippery floors. That could be easily remedied by providing bathmats. Because... More
