Evangadi Lodge o emerald lodge turmi — Hotel in South Ethiopia Regional State

This was one of the wort experiences I have had in a hotel, we booked 3 days earlier, and by the time we arrived the owner told us he has no place for us in the restaurant and told us to eat outside. He then added he will also not provide breakfast as he is overwhelmed in the kitchen. When we started to have an issue with the lack of breakfast he had the audacity to tell us we didn't get the rooms with breakfast included, despite him never mentioning that before hand. After a lot of back and forth he agreed to give us breakfast. The water in the room was muddy, and a few people in our group didn't even get to shower because there was no water. All in all I don't recommend staying at this place , you should consider Bushka...

Originally would give this hotel a 4,5 stars but then the restaurant dragged everything down. The decoration and ambience is good but the staff is the most terrible man we saw in Ethiopia. Very unhelpful and lazy. He didn’t want to take our order or even giving out the menu. (We went there 4 times so I can say this is unbiased) the food selection is limited as mentioned in other reviews here and what’s more is they don’t even have the items listed on the menu or not having enough drink choices. We went to buska lodge for lunch and could not recommend that hotel and restaurant more. Their service and selection of food makes a huge contrast with this...

Evangadi lodge is a great place to stay. The rooms are large, clean and well maintained. The surrounding area is great too. Several birds visit during the day, there are Hamar villages close by, and they have a huge compound that you can walk around. A walk to entrance allows you see the boys with their donkey carts collecting water, a much sought after necessity in Ethiopia. The staff are really very friendly, and try as hard as possible make your stay comfortable. The food is tasty, and if you have time, you could even help them light up the fire for the evenings bread...Good memories...
