A Perfect Stay, Good Service for a Good Price

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ishmajoso Lodge, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, the warmth and friendliness of the staff were very welcoming. Every interaction with the hotel employees was marked by smiles and a genuine willingness to assist, making me feel welcomed and valued. The room itself was a spacious and clean which made you feel in total comfort. It was evident that attention to detail is a priority here, with every corner spotless and every amenity in perfect order. The bed was comfortable, and sheets the sheets was clean as they should be, ensuring a good night’s sleep after my travels. What made my stay particularly pleasant was the overall ambiance created by the staff. They were not only professional but also exceptionally courteous and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure that my stay was as enjoyable as possible. The place has a huge backup generator which you can use continuous AC also when it’s switched on, which is not always available at other places, it also has washing machines and laundry facilities also. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, the combination of friendly staff, immaculate accommodations, and a serene environment makes this hotel a perfect choice.

TERRIBLE PLACE WITH MOLD! Terribly terrible place.

Very nasty lodge. I regretted staying there. The nice photos posted online is a scam. It's not the same as you see it online. All the the good reviews are a bunch of lies, only those that say its a terrible place are genuinely telling the truth. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!! IEven the nice kitchen posted online is a SCAM!! very terrible! I am glad I left

Good Value for your Money

The staff is great and you get good value for what you spend however, more efforts needs to be put in management issues such as ensuring parking places is well managed, more drivers to assist client with cars and ensure that clients can enjoy their stay and not constantly worry about parking issues. The Breakfast was good but must also have non spicy option as not everyone want to eat spicy food, and more efforts must be made to keep the shared kitchen clean. More efforts must be made to have power constant and for the generator to not be out of fuel.
