Kuriftu Resort & Spa Bishoftu

It was an amazing place to stay with a family. All the staff are amazing we have been so many different places so far this place is 100% satisfying on everything..the room the food specially breakfast was amazing we love it . Thank you all the staff also the hotel manager!

This place is an amazing oasis in Ethiopia… A calm place where you can take care of yourself with delicious food and several services such as massages among others. We felt really welcomed, relaxed, in an integrated place in the overwhelming Ethiopian nature with the best hospitality. Thank you so much!

I went there with my friend Grace. We originally booked 3 days but we liked it there a lot so stayed an extra two days. The resort is very spacious It has an amazing Water Park with various water slides and high (and low) pressure water jets which massage your body (very refreshing), and a gidt shop and a restaurant with lovely large soft cushioned area outside where you can relax and look out at the water slides. And the water is cold, which is very nice as in previous hotel we stayed in Addis the water was warm and was like swimming in a bath with the sun beaming down in you. They must have a cooling system for the water in the water park and also the two swimming pools. The only negative comment I would make about this lovely water park is that the music (which was lovely African & Indian beat music which I liked a lot) was very loud and you can hear it throughout the resort all day long, so loud that when we arrived we were given rooms that were very close to the water park and we couldn't just relax and have rest in afternoon with the music so loud, but they accomodated us and moved us to a very nice location beside the lake where you could barely (but still could) hear it. The complimentary Swedish massage was very nice and relaxing - we actually got two free massages since we made a fresh 2 day booking after the original 3 day booking was up the lovely hotel manager (Yemishrach) kindly agreed to give us another free massage. There are three restaurants at the resort, one at the water park which mainly serves breakfast but is open throughout the day for drinks, and two restaurants that serve lunch and dinner throughout the day. The food was excellent and the staff so friendly. The only suggestion I would make is that it wpuld have been nicer if they had different menus at the two restaurants.........but lovely food. There is a really nice cinema there which accomodates private parties up to I'd say around 50 people?, so you can book a time slot and you choose your own movie from a large list of choices from online movie providers. The wi-fi wasn't strong and kept stalling and restarting as it used the router from reception which is about 100m away. It really needs its own dedicated wi-fi router in the cinema room which I suggested to them - hopefully they will act on this suggestion and install one and so your cinema experience will be great! My final comment, and probably the most important, is that all the staff there were so so so friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help you. And when I say they 'went out of their way' in a lot of cases I mean literally, as when I asked some staff where a certain place was (when I was finding my bearings in this large resort the first day or two) instrad of just pointing and explaining where to go they would actually walk up there with you to show you. Friendliness and helpfulness was the defining character I found in Ethiopians throughout my 10 day holiday there and this was there in a

We had really great time @ Kuriftu with our colleagues. The rooms were clean as usual. The team were all organised .Thank you Mahlet for your continous follow up & service, DJ Samson for the perfect entertainment. You guys make our stay perfect.

An amazing place with wonderful staff and outstanding hospitality. The charming Maulid was amazingly supportive and professional in her undertakings. I would come back anytime, any day. The pillow set up during the teambuilding retreat was an amazing and one of a kind set up. Cheers to the entire team for Job well done

The room was impeccable. The bed was really comfortable. Had one of the best sleeps ever. The staff was also super nice and they went above and beyond in organizing our offices retreat. The food was a delight. I totally recommend it for visits

I visited the Kuriftu Resort and Spa in Bishoftu on June 2024, and I was impressed by its fantastic cultural architecture. I believe it might be the first hotel or resort to be considered a green building. The construction process seemed to have minimal embedded energy, making it a potential reference for green construction and operation.

We had an outstanding experience and received exceptional service, largely due to the dedicated efforts of the entire staff, with a special mention to a waiter named Sisay. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly and treated with the utmost care and professionalism. The ambiance of the establishment was inviting, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our visit. Sisay, in particular, stood out for his remarkable hospitality. Her warm smile and friendly demeanor made us feel truly welcomed and appreciated. The seamless service we received from the entire team contributed significantly to the overall enjoyment of our time there. Thank you once again to Sisay and all the staff for making our visit so special. Your efforts did not go unnoticed and are deeply appreciated.
