I had a wonderful stay at Namuwoki Lodge, surrounded by stunning lush vegetation and wildlife, especially with the Howler monkeys serenading me each morning. While the room was comfortable and clean, it was a bit on the dark side, and I did bump into the wooden bed rim a few times. The friendly staff and the tasty food helped make my experience nice, though the evenings were occasionally marred by noisy neighbors.

The room was simple but clean and comfortable. It had great air conditioning and a fridge, plus a lovely generous verandah. However, it felt a bit dark inside, and I found the wooden rim around the bed a little annoying.

I enjoyed the breakfast, which had a decent variety of fresh fruit, eggs, and coffee, overlooking the pool. While it was good, the dinners were overpriced and not as special as I’d hoped for.

The small pool was refreshing, though I wish it didn't have that odd carpet around it. Other facilities like the common areas made for nice spots to chill after a day of exploring.

I had a fantastic 6-night stay at Namuwoki Lodge, enjoying the lush surroundings and tranquil atmosphere. The bungalow I stayed in was comfortable, and the private veranda was perfect for relaxing. However, some areas, like the room's security and pool surroundings, could use a bit of attention. Overall, it was a pleasant getaway with friendly staff and some delicious breakfasts.

The lodge features a small pool surrounded by a carpet, which wasn't my favorite. It also had some amenities like room service and transportation, but the overall feel was slightly tired.

I had a good time at Namuwoki Lodge, enjoying its beautiful jungle surroundings and vibrant wildlife, including monkeys and toucans. However, I did find some aspects a bit lacking, such as the limited breakfast variety and the need for updated facilities. Overall, it was a peaceful escape close to nature, but with room for improvement.

The small pool was nice but unfortunately surrounded by a carpet, which I wasn't a fan of. It could definitely benefit from some updates and more attention to detail.

I stayed at Namuwoki Lodge for six nights and genuinely enjoyed my time there. The private veranda of my bungalow was a highlight, perfect for relaxing with a book while soaking in the natural surroundings. However, the lodge does feel a bit tired and could use some updates, like fixing broken locks and addressing the pool's carpet. Overall, it was a lovely spot to disconnect and enjoy nature, but some aspects could use improvement.

I recently spent 5 nights at Namuwoki Lodge and had a mix of experiences. The location is serene, surrounded by nature, which I loved, but my first lodge wasn’t as modern as I expected. The staff were fantastic – they even moved me to a nicer room for my honeymoon, complete with a complimentary bottle of champagne. Overall, it was a relaxing stay with some room for improvement.
