Mount Sheba Rainforest Hotel & Resort Reviews

7.6/10

United Kingdom, June 2023

The rooms at Mount Sheba Rainforest Hotel & Resort were incredibly comfortable, and I loved the cozy fireplace in mine. The views surrounding the hotel were absolutely stunning, providing a peaceful and picturesque atmosphere. I also appreciated the variety of activities available onsite, which made it easy to relax and unwind without having to leave the premises. I had a lovely break and would definitely consider returning to Mount Sheba Rainforest Hotel & Resort in the future.

While the drive to the hotel was a bit challenging due to pot-hole ridden roads, the breathtaking scenery along the way made it worthwhile. Additionally, I would have preferred more dining options besides the set menu, although I was able to order parts of it which were enjoyable.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The value for money was excellent - the prices were reasonable for the quality of service and amenities provided. I loved the attention to detail throughout the hotel, from the well-maintained grounds to the cozy rooms with fireplaces. The location, nestled amongst beautiful mountains, created a picturesque backdrop for my stay. Additionally, the staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that all my needs were met. The breakfast served with chips was a unique and tasty twist that I really enjoyed.

All aspects of my stay were satisfying and met my expectations.

United Kingdom, May 2023

If you're looking for a secluded getaway surrounded by nature, you'll love this hidden gem tucked away next to numerous waterfalls. The location of this resort is truly a dream for nature lovers, as it is far away from any activity except hiking. You can completely immerse yourself in the peacefulness of the rainforest and connect with the beautiful surroundings.

There were some issues with the fireplace, as the rooms were very cold and required additional wood to keep warm throughout the night.

8.0/10

United Kingdom, March 2023

The beautiful views were a definite advantage, making for a perfect getaway from city life. the delicious meals prepared by the chef were another highlight of our trip. the convenience store added to the convenience and made access to everything we needed easy. We loved the outdoor activities available and the various hiking trails. the manicured gardens added an extra touch, making our stay even more beautiful.

The gravel road leading to the resort was quite challenging and long. It was not a comfortable drive, especially when in bad weather.

9.8/10

United Kingdom, October 2022

The rooms: amazing, comfortable, welcoming environment. The surroundings: peaceful, quite, beautiful waterfalls. The staff: friendly, outstanding, excellent service. The amenities: spacious challet, heaters, fireplaces, excellent bathroom.

Absolutely nothing.
