메이레코 로지

I have traveled the world with my family, and HIGHLY recommend the Mayleko Lodge. I selected the lodge at random, and was glad I did. The service was incredible. The Hotel Manger paid personal visits to our room to ensure that we were doing well, and in one case noted we were late for breakfast, and offered to arrange room service so we would not miss our breakfast. The Hotel Manger also arranged sightseeing with a very knowledgeable local guide that my son and I very much enjoyed. The Food in the Mayleko Lodge restaurant was 5 Star quality all the way. Food was fresh and innovatively prepared. Very attentive and perfect service from the restaurant manager and his staff. The hotel grounds are a very large well-manicured garden, with a host of local birds calling the lodge home. Finally, rooms were spacious and perfectly appointed. In short, when in Gondar, this will be the only place that my family will stay from now on when we travel from the USA to Ethiopia.

Die Einzelbungalows sind etwas kleiner und haben nur eine kleine Terrasse vor der Tür. Dafür sind die Bungalows sehr ruhig.

Die Doppelbungalows sind sehr geräumig und haben eine Terrasse. Sehr schön eingerichtet. Leider sehr hellhörig wenn man Nachbarn hat. Das Restaurantpersonal ist superfreundlich und hilfsbereit.

Amazing experience! The place is beautiful and very clean, the service and the food were top notch. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Gondar..

It was wonderful after sightseeing in Gondar to sit down and see all the birds in the garden. The staff are all friendly. You need cash for everything. There was a gap in the door, They helped us with some blankets. Enough warm water. Worst pizza on the tour but the local food was good. Fresh fruit from the garden for breakfast. I would love to be back.

A beautiful setting. The pool had just opened which was great. Our booking didn’t reflect the room we were expecting as we were given rooms which were sub optimal but we managed to chant this albeit at a price. When it came to settle the bill at the end of our five night stay, they didn’t accept credit cards though.

proche aeroport mais loin de la ville calme et bon restaurant la proprietaire parle francais

Great character, hearing the church in the morning was lovely. Don't have high expectations about food, but the lodges are lovely. They are continually improving.

As an avid traveler, this was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had. Upon our arrival at the hotel we were told by the owner that Mayleko does not work with any travel websites. That being said, it is still showing up on multiple travel sites. We were informed that our reservation could not be honored but that there were tents available to rent and that we could use the pool for a shower. The owner of the lodge only accepted cash, and charged much higher rate. At one point an Expedia representative called the hotel to offer payment over the phone which the owner of the lodge refused. Something sketchy is definitely going on with the woman who owns it.

Don't book this hotel via an any website. In fact, don't book at this establishment at all. The mgmt of the hotel pulled a bait and switch on me and six others at a very inopportune time. Having booked a reservation for Mayleko through Expedia I received multiple emails confirming my reservation - and that I would not need to follow up to confirm. Expedia's price was approximately $45 per room. The manager, in con artist fashion, played dumb to the Expedia reservation when we arrived on the weekend of Timkat (big Ethiopian celebration in which hotel/hostel rooms are fully occupied). Mger subsequently noted that she had two rooms available at approximately $200 each. Given the isolation of the hotel (approximately 20 mins from Gondar) and the scarcity of rooms on Timkat weekend, she realized we had no choice but to pay.. We might have been okay with paying $200 per room on Timkat Weekend had it been advertised appropriately. Unfortunately, we have yet to recoup our credit card payments (one week later) and we paid mgmt in cash ($200 x 4 = $800). We double-paid. I'd like to place more blame on Expedia, but Mger/ower did not seem concerned with our predicament and made that clear by up charging us for multiple items. While the space has potential to be a top-notch lodge, it's run by an unscrupulous huckster. I can sympathize a business run with cash, however, I have less sympathy when dealing with hundreds of dollars...and when we had already paid. I do not recommend!

WE arrived at the hotel and they said they had no booking for us. They clarified that they have no partnership with hotels.com and would not honour the booking made online. We had to find another hotel at the last minute which was twice as expensive therefore we expect a refund from hotels.com for the prepaid booking.

It's a beautiful comfortable unique place to stay for a few days. It's a little bit far from town but not bad at all. It's very close to the airport. Staff and managers are wonderful, helpful and friendly. I would love to come back here again Thanks for making my stay so pleasant.

a disappointing experience, was the only guest there, pool without water, no internet, the whole hotel area needs a renovation. The huts/rooms as itselfs are good and big - but the price (around USD 84) was much too high for this standard.

I just picked this hotel based on price and reviews. But, it wasn't too long until there were problems. This hotel includes free airport pickup, so I tried to arrange by phone, website and finally eMail. On check-in, still no English. No information on b'fast. No map. They were trying to explain they needed a voucher or PayPal something but I'd paid already. It was intolerable. The grounds are unkempt. To stay out of mud and water, I had to walk on concrete bags to get to Reception. It looked like it hasn't been cared for in quite a while. A lawnmower and weed-eater would do wonders. I get to the room and there's a padlock on the outside of the door. There's not a fire code in the world that would permit this. Not to mention no fire alarm. Expedia says says there's 24 hour room service. But, no phone in the room. How shall I order ROOM service? The room was dirty. There were bugs all over the place -- flying and crawling. I moved the covers to see a silverfish type bug crawl out. I killed a handful of mosquitoes in the first 5 minutes. The drapery was dirty. The shower curtain was filthy. There was an old soap wrapper in the shower. There were bugs and rat droppings (I guess) on the ledge in the bath. Clearly, cleaning wasn't a high priority here. No shampoo. No WiFi. No TV. No fan or AC. In a word: horrific!

The reception had no idea we had a reservation that was made through Hotels.com. Once they did see our reservations they held my passport over night (had an early morning flight) and refused to give it back until checkout. The huts you see in the picture is not what you get - you most likely will get a room in a concrete row of rooms to the right of the picture. The amount of dead and live bugs in the room and especially the washroom was staggering. The hot water in the shower only lasts for about 7 to 8 minutes so don't get caught with soap on your face. I can't fault them for the power outage because it looked like most of the area was affected but the poor service by the front desk was enough for us to say 'never again' to this place. The location to the airport and Gondar downtown is great - just make it clear that you need transportation and wait for it in the lobby - the front desk will not tell you when they arrive. Again - the front desk staff - deplorable experience. We traveled through Kenya and Ethiopia staying at lower rated hotels and had much better and enriching experiences - the people at this place could not care for our existence. Their only saving grace was the cook. She was super friendly and her breakfast was fantastic - left her the tip we would have spread around to the whole staff. Oh and there was poor Wifi in the main lobby - very very slow.

Stayed for three nights at Mayleko lodge, was very comfortable and amazing staff..Biruk is awesome and Was always on hand And helpful to make my stay so great! Thank you :) Only downside is the wifi is not available in the lodges, only in the reception, other than that it's perfect!
