"Bishop's House review"

2 nights Arrived 12 Jun 2024
"Bishop's House is gorgeous and it is really a peaceful oasis in the middle of a busy area of the city. There was no city noise and you would have no idea where you were once inside the grounds. Our rooms were huge and beautiful and well appointed. Service was great .. almost too great! After gorilla trekking they attempted to remove our shoes and socks and rub our feet.. that was a bit much! There is a nice gym there and the pool area is beautiful but the pool is very cold. The food was disappointing. They cleaned our shoes and socks after trekking and provided snacks for the trek. They also provided gaters for the trek."
