Lewi Resort and Spa

Un posto meraviglioso, rilassante e accogliente

Beautiful location! Staff customer service is excellent. The bungalows are gorgeous! The food was delicious! Will definitely be back!

The telephone was broken. One of the lights in the bathroom was broken. The flush on the toilet had to be fixed. The room smelt disgusting upon first entering. Insufficient towels in the bathroom. There was no air conditioning, just a small fan that wasn't good eneough. The spa didn't work. The monkeys were disturbing. Overall it was disappointing. The staff were excellent and helpful despite the woeful facilities.

The hotel was great. Very friendly staff and very clean. Very lovely compound decorated with flowers

Très bel hôtel au Personnel particulièrement serviable,

The staff was extremely friendly and the room was nice, however there was no heat or heating available. I was provided with two additional comforters which kept me extremely warm and comfortable throughout the nights.

la posizione sul lago e la gentilezza del personale

Fawlty Towers by the Lake – don’t stay in this dump LONG STORY SHORT: This so-called resort provided a substandard room, didn’t fix the issues, and lied to us about the modest concession they had initially agreed to as an apology. Dishonest people and overpriced, poorly maintained rooms. Don’t stay there! LONG STORY LONG: Having traveled a bit, we are used to different standards in various regions and countries — we understand that in Ethiopia, hotels and services may have issues we aren’t used to, and we are generally happy to roll with it and not get bothered. However, after our previous mid-range hotel in Harar had no running water, we were looking forward to our several-day stay at the Lewi Resort in Hawassa, which billed itself as a four-star establishment. How sadly disappointed we were. The room we paid for ($132 per night) didn’t have a proper shower (just a trickle), a working telephone (though a disconnected one was “helpfully” sitting on the desk in the room??! Why??), and critically, there was no air conditioning — one of the reasons we booked the Lewi in the first place — which was falsely advertised both on their website and on Expedia. For a hotel in a lower price bracket, we likely wouldn’t have made a big deal about these issues, but for a so-called “four-star” resort at this price point, not having a functioning room, particularly the lack of air conditioning, was frustrating. We raised these concerns checking in on our 1st day. - see Google reviews

Sunn, deilig frokost. Vennlig og effektivt personale. Verdens beste utsikt! Badet trenger renovering. Ett nattbord manglet på rommet

Staff at the resort was amazing. Specifically the night manager Aklilu and customer service Sintayehu.

The staff were very attentive and kind. There are so many animals around the resort that made it a unique experience. The lake was very beautiful.

The lake view was wonderful. There is amazing culture of hospitality, you get greetings and salute from every member of staff every where. Guests are really respected here.The spa service is great

Sehr schönes Ressort mit traumhaftem Blick und toller Terasse zum Essen.

The staff at Lewi are so kind and helpful. The rooms were very clean, and the restaurant and amenities were all great! Would definitely stay here again!

Pros: -Excellent location on the Awassa Lake -Service was tremendous, everybody was helpful and extremely kind -Free breakfast -Price is affordable Cons: -Wifi is bad and non-existent half the time(important for communication to other countries) -The bathroom smelled bad, we changed rooms but the problem persisted. Seemingly from sewage after flushing, even after a day of non-use -Food looked good but lacked flavor/seasoning -Not accepting credit cards at check-out for incidentals is very inconvenient

Lewi Resort gave us an unforgettable memory! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and offered a stunning view of the lake. The food was beyond delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The boat ride across the lake was peaceful and magical, with breathtaking scenery all around. Every detail of our stay was perfectly arranged. Whether relaxing by the water or enjoying the incredible meals, every moment was special. Lewi Resort is a true gem. We can’t wait to return again and again! Sara

Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Mooi uitzicht op het meer.

Personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Resort soms wat verouderd, maar wat wil je voor deze prijs. Gewoon top hier.

Staff was very friendly. Food was great. Get the Lewi special fries with ketchup and mayonnaise. Great view of the lake. Just don’t feed the monkeys.

So far, so good.
