Just stayed for 1 night before catching my flight to Dar es Salaam and then onto Australia. There are so many things about Ryan’s Bay that make it my first choice in Mwanza. The staff are so kind and attentive, always asking if I need anything. The rates are reasonable, the room was very clean with an exceptionally comfy bed and an awesome shower (the 2 big ticks when I’m staying somewhere), the view of Lake Victoria overlooking the pool is super relaxing.

Ryan's Bay decided to keep the entire week's reservation pay and still rent out the room we had. This hotel is run by greedy people with no soul. As if I could've flown the plane myself. Our vacation was saved by Kamber Manji of Nature's Land Safaris. Ryan's Bay Hotel doesn't deserve any business. I know I will never do business with them again. I am just glad I had...
