Looks great in photos but be warned, not worth the money at all!
The lodge is beautifully set on a crater lake, and the rooms are spacious with high thatched roofs. Each room has a lovely terrace overlooking the lake, which is really special and very relaxing.
Not worth $320!!
When I arrived, I had a guide waiting for me + explained that I was in a rush at check-in. I was told that the manager wanted to see me so I dropped my bags in the room and came back. The manager came outside to meet me + the guide with the card machine in her hand, all she wanted was payment...it was a rude welcome and why did the manager have to take payment and not the check-in staff? I said, i'm sorry but i'm in a rush, I'll do this later (I didnt have any cards on my to pay as I was going for a hike).
There is a self-serve hot drinks station (tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk), when I returned from my hike there was no coffee or milk available. I asked if I could have some and waited more than 15 minutes at the station, but it never arrived. I was then told it would be brought to my room, which took another 10 minutes.
At check-in, I was told a flask of hot water would be brought to my room in the evening as they dont provide you with a kettle, but this never arrived. I eventually went to ask for it at 8:45 pm. I was also told the fire pit would be lit at 7 pm, but by 9 pm it still hadn’t been lit.
When someone came with the flask, I asked what time breakfast was + they asked if I'd made my order to which I replied no, so I had someone else arrive after 9pm now, to take my breakfast order.
My breakfast of scrambled eggs + toast was cold (cold toast was really hard) + looked pitiful (see photo) which was really disappointing, especially as I was one of two tables in the restaurant + the other table had already finished. I also noticed the other table received toast with a selection of jams, which I did not.
When I went to pay and explained the issues, including the cold breakfast, the manager was defensive and had an attitude, suggesting I had a problem from arrival (because I was in a rush)
Rooms have poor lighting+1 double socket nowhere near a mirror or the bed.

Superb
The lodges are spacious, well decorated, very comfortable and with a stunning view on the lake. The staff is really kind and very helpful. We particularly appreciated the special touches like the heating pad put in the bed and the fact that the lodge was tidy when we returned from dinner. Other advantages of Crater Safari Lodge are the calm and silence of the place, great food and the beautiful main lodge.
Wifi doesn't work very well

Elation and Disappointment
Beautiful place, with a fantastic view over the lake. The local staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are simple, but big and clean, with a huge terrace. Water was warm. Bed was good, food as well.
Google Maps leads you in the middle of nowhere. Instead you should follow the sign on the main road. Charging of phones and laptops is only possible in the main house as well as using a hairdryer. Energy in the rooms is just for light. Wifi is only available in the main house. The mobile network (3G) worked very well.
Although claimed on booking.com, paying by Mastercard or Visa card did not work at all. The phone call with the boss, Barbara, was unnecessarily harsh and full of disrespect. Since she refused to accept a bank transfer, we eventually paid by using DPO (expensive). Due to this behavior we will never visit this lodge again.
If there is a heaven i would totally be ok if it looked like this place. We booked a house with lakeview and the view was stunning. The house itself was tastefully decorated and had a huge patio to enjoy the view while all kinds of topical birds fly by.
The staff was amazing to us and made sure our stay was very relaxing and comfortable.
The restaurant building is an eyecather as well and the food was really tasty. Pool area was nice as well. I wish we stayed a few days longer.
WiFi in the room was not the best. Though in the main building good.
