EXCELLENT Based on 218 reviews Burriester S2025-03-16Verified Davinci gorillas lodge is five star lodge I and my family we were just stayed two night in one of the houses. The house is spacious with a living area, bed and separate bathroom. It also has a fireplace in our room. Why, you would ask in warm Rwanda? Well, you are at an altitude of 2500 meters and it is cold here. The stone house contributes to that cold feeling. When we went for diner a young man called Leonard he put fire on our table and young lady called Alliance she went in our room to put a hot water bottle in our bed, which is needed. Staff is over-friendly again, we always welcomed , for us now usual, warm towel, drink and briefing. Diner takes place on the top floor where it is cold as well but young man called Leonard he puts fire on our table which makes us feel hot, we can’t thank him a lot but he did a great job for us, however you will get a stove placed next to the table, which is sufficient to keep you warn during the diner Leonard do this all night . Food quality is mediocre. Breakfast is ok. Hopefully we are coming next summer 2025 albachiara_muc2025-02-04Verified Perfekte Oase für Gorillatrekking Wir haben als kleine Reisegruppe leider nur eine Nacht in der Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge verbracht. Meine Lodge war sehr geräumig, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Besonders genossen habe ich das Kaminfeuer und die zwei Wärmflaschen im Bett. Es gibt WiFi sogar auf dem Zimmer. Das Abendmenue war sehr lecker. Das Personal sehr hilfsbereit und kompetent. Nach meinem Gorillatrekking musste ich noch auf meine Gruppe warten und wurde herzlich empfangen und umsorgt, obwohl wir schon ausgecheckt waren. sandor g2025-01-23Verified Amazing Hospitality at Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge We had an absolutely wonderful time at Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge. The location was perfect for both Gorilla and Golden monkey trekking, making it incredibly convenient for our adventure. The lodges themselves were spacious and exceptionally comfortable, offering a relaxing retreat after our treks. The food was consistently delicious, and we were delighted to find that a tasty vegetarian option was always available, catering perfectly to our dietary needs. But the true highlight was the exceptional service and hospitality. Manager Henry was incredible. He always went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. His warm personality and genuine care for our experience made us feel right at home. The front-of-house and restaurant staff were fantastic, especially Joy, Divine, and Priscilla. Their friendly smiles and helpful attitudes made our dining experiences even more enjoyable. And last but certainly not least, the foot massages we received were absolute heaven. Alliance and Esther did an amazing job making us feel relaxed and rejuvenated after our treks. All in all a very enjoyable stay and we would recommend 100%. Sharon and Sandor Jonathon B2024-12-21Verified Fantastic stay! We were blown away by this gem of a lodge right in the center of the gorilla trek action! The service was incredible, the food was delicious and beautiful (menu-selected items prepared by a chef!), the post-trek foot rub hit the anpot, and the amenities were top-notch. I would absolutely recommend this place to any and all traveling to the gorilla treks in Rwanda! BG_TN_592024-12-20Verified Excellent location even better service. Highly recommend!! I wish I could give this place more than a 5 star review. Loved everything about it , ideal location, excellent service, fire in my room, hot water bottles and chef made me some special vegetarian food. Oh and the foot massage after the Golden Monkey trek was an added bonus!! Sparky ( the dog) became my best friend during my stay. Always joining me for my meals and would guard my room at night. Will definitely miss the hospitality of this place. Karen smith B2024-11-11Verified Thank you Davinci Team Thank you for your prompt Service especially Leonard and Sparky , Leonard he is hard working always his smile and I want to comeback again, and my son is coming in December with the guest because he is a tour operator. it is much appreciated your good services hot water and fire service was excellent . I am sure and I believe Leonard would serve my son and meet my son again son in Davinci Gorillas Lodge. With thanks Michelle Sacha M2024-10-16Verified Great atmosphere, food and friendly service 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 Roswitha K2024-10-04Verified Heart warming staff and a crackling fire place. 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. simonsmidt2024-09-28Verified Cold 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.

We were greeted by the lovely staff and the exceptionally friendly resident dog, Sparky who will show you to your room each night. The lodge is charming, full of big lounges that make it feel like home. You have a view of the nearby volcanos and views over the beautiful garden. The staff are so friendly and accomodating, even bringing a small fire to your table while you eat dinner and putting a fire on and hot water bottles in your bed while you eat so you get back to a cozy room at night (lead by the beautiful dog each night). After Gorilla Trekking, they give your feet a massage and clean your boots too. Finally, the food was amazing! It was fresh, simple and tasted delicious. We had 6-8 meals at Da Vinci and it’s hard to pick which is the favourite. I would absolutely recommend this lodge to others for the food, hospitality and staff. You’ll be happy here and would be suitable for families or travellers looking for a relaxing place to make their base after a long day of being active around Volcanos.
