We had a wonderful stay in Babagoya Viewpoint Lodge. It was a lovely few days away from the hustle and bustle of Addis Ababa. The resort has fabulous animals around - Six large tortoises roam around, rabbits you can feed, and so much fascinating birdlife (Jan can tell you more about the birds around the lake). Our room was a sort of treehouse which was very fun and had a stunning view of the lake when you wake up in the morning. All the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, and it was very easy for us to arrange trips nearby through the lodge - we went to Green Crater Lake by bajaj (tuk-tuk) with a driver from the lodge. The food was good, and the reception area was a great place to relax and take in the views. I would recommend Babagoya Viewpoint Lodge to anyone wanting something with more of a homemade feel than a hotel, hidden away in the trees around the beautiful Bishoftu Guda lake.

While the accommodation is a little basic, the location and the helpfulness of the staff make this a wonderful place to stay near Addis Ababa. The price is very reasonable and the food freshly cooked, with a variety of Ethiopian and international dishes. Jan and his family go out of their way to make your stay memorable. I am a keen birdwatcher and Jan personally took me out at no cost, showing me the best sites so I could go again on my own later. Unless you are looking for luxury this is a real find.

This place was amazing. A delightful blend of Ethiopian culture and Mediterranean esthetic. The food on the menu was delicious every time, whether it was spaghetti or shiro. The hotel owner and his staff were always available to bring you to the market or recommend good sight-seeing. Waking up in the morning to a flock of cormorants roosting near your treehouse is once in a lifetime, and even the 106 steps down the terraced yard is worth it to take a canoe trip on the lake. This place is well worth the hour drive from addis and we will certainly come again when we are next in Ethiopia!

Die Lodge liegt 60 km südlich von Addis Abbaba und ist mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln sehr gut erreichbar. Zu einem günstigen Tarif wird auch ein Abholservice von Addis (z.B. Flughafen) organisiert. Der Personal allgemein ist sehr hilfbereit und kompetent. Der Besitzer, ein Belgier gibt Auskunft über viele Destinationen in ganz Äthiopien und hilft bei der Reiseplanung. Die Anlage selbst ist unter ökologischen Gesichtspunkten mit einfachen und möglichst regional verfügbaren Mitteln in die Höhenstufen des Abhangs integriert. Die einzelnen Bungalows bieten durch Glasfronten ausgezeichnete Sicht auf den See und die Vogelwelt, bei manchen ist beim Ein- und Ausstieg Geschicklichkeit gefordert. Die Terrasse ist geschmackvoll mit regionalen und konfortablen Möbeln ausgestattet und bietet auch eine herrlichen Ausblick. An Freizeitangeboten sind Fahrräder, Kanus und ein Tischtennistisch verfügbar, das Wasser des Sees ist billharziosefrei.

Hotel med fin beliggenhed, alle nødvendigheder er til rådighed på stedet, værelserne meget rustik udformning og øko-venligt simpelt indrettet. Flot beliggende med udsigt ned over søen. I regntiden kan det godt være en udfordring, da terrassen er eneste værested, med rindende vand fra taget. Køkkenet er udmærket, igen med det simple i fokus. Er der strømsvigt, og det er der tit, især i regntiden, skal man ikke have stramme tidsplaner, de holder ikke på hotellet i almindelighed, og i Ethiopien i særdeleshed.
