Manuhie Backpackers Lodge

My boyfriend and I stayed at Manuhie Backpackers for 4 nights and it was great! Nati is a SUPER host and the setting is relaxing. It was the only backpackers we found in all of ethiopia where we met other guests, hung out with the owner, and got a great value. The owner took the time to help us with getting fair prices and showed us the hidden spots around Bahir Dar. The rooms are basic but a good value and we spent the whole time exploring the welcoming city and hanging with new friends.

I had a wonderful time at Manuhie´s place. It´s simple but very clean for a fair price. Never found something like this in Ethiopia. The staff was very welcoming, kind and helpful and they have made me feel at home.There is a nice garden you can meet other travelers or organize a tour with Nati and his friend for a really good price. If you go to Bahir Dar stay in Manuhie Backpacker Lodge and you find everything a traveller haert desires.
I will definitely come back ..Thank you for everything

Typical simple backpackers. Had a room with private bathroom which sufficed. Mosquito nets provided. Hot water (depending on time of day). Friendly staff, some of them can be quite pushy but that’s the touristy culture.
You meet great people in the meeting area around the coffee pot.

Excellent budget hotel. Rooms are clean, tidy, if a little basic. Hot water normally works, and the WiFi is the best I encountered outside Addis. The host, Nati, is quite the character, but he booked me an amazingly good value trip to the Simeon Mountains and the Danakil Depression.

Nati is the best host I had in Ethiopia. So helpful, he makes everything possible for his guests. The place is clean, room are comfy and most important there is hot water!!

Nati, the owner is very very helpful, he even sent my left stuff to Addis after me. The hotel has a very nice garden. The rooms are good but need some more furniture. The toilet/bathroom is the only part that needs some upgrade.

Very nice place to spend the night at. Nati the owner is a very kind and helpful person. Warm showers, typical rooms for a backpackers lodge, bug nets are provided.
Offers for seamian and danakil are available as well.
Would definitely come back here.

Really good place in Bahar dar, nice location not so far from the lake.
The room was clean and the bed was good.
Naty the owner was really friendly and he well understood our expectation.
Nice to meet him. Good moments in Bahar dar.

Great host, good location and simple but fine rooms. With a nice shared terrace.

A very peaceful place in Bahir Dar.

Tolle Backpackerunterkunft mit engagiertem Inhaber, der sich um alle Wünsche und Anfragen seiner Kunden kümmert. Die Zimmer sind groß, sauber und mit Moskitonetz ausgestattet. Das Gemeinschaftsbad hat, was nicht selbstverständlich ist, eine gut funktionierende Warmwasserdusche. Im schönen Innenhof kann man Abends gemütlich zusammen sitzen und auch tagsüber die Ruhe und das frei zur Verfügung stehende Wlan genießen. Die Unterkunft ist gut gelegen, so dass Kaffees, Restaurants und der See in wenigen Gehminuten erreichbar sind.

Ein schöner ruhiger Innenhof und saubere große Zimmer. Ein angenehmer Ort um ein paar Tage in Bahir Dar zu verbringen

The location is good, close to the lake Tana. The rooms are clean, with big beds and towels included. Wi-Fi works fine. The bathroom is shared and it's just ok, and there is hot water.
But the best value of this Lodge is his owner, Naty, who will help you in everything you may need.
Thanks a lot!

Extremely helpful friendly manager, good location, clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, good WiFi.
