As overlanders we didn't book the rooms in advance, as it turned out to be fully booked, but the owner was really nice and let us stay there with our on-top-car-tents. We enjoyed our time there very much. Peace and quiet, perfect place to relax. Top notch restaurant. The best choice was gnocchi with fresh tomato sauce and basil. One... More

Stayed at Ilomba twice, first time in cheaper stand-alone rooms and second in on of the Appartments. Staff are very attentive and for Cameroon it is one of the best places to stay we have found. A pool would be great as the sea can be a bit uninviting at times if there is an onshore wind. Generally clean and... More

I went to Kribi for the weekend, total of 3 nights. Each night stayed in different hotels. This was the best out of the 3. Clean accomodation. Nice relaxing beach. Restaurant was of good standard. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. It is out of town a little, but worth the stay.

My mother and I stayed at the Ilomba in November 2012. We had a perfect experience and highly recommend the hotel. The owner is lovely, the grounds are well kept, the food is great and the beach is beautiful. We had been traveling overland from Cameroon to CAR and back and spent the last 4 days of our trip at...

I live in Cameroon, so I compare hotels within Cameroon. This is a very nice hotel by Cameroon's standards. Very nice rooms, great service, but a little on the pricey side. We've stayed in other hotels in Kribi and we think this one is worth the added cost, we just won't go here as much because it is expensive.

The hotel is far away from the town of Kribi and the road is not paved so it is a bumpy ride. I had a single room which was very small and the bathroom could do with updating especially the shower area which was grungy and very off putting. The AC did not work and this made sleeping uncomfortable. The... More

The Hotel IIomba is a great little hotel situated on the gravel road as you pass through the town of Kribi. The road is not so great but it is worthwhile visiting the Hotel, because once you are there you dont need to move anywhere else. The rooms are very clean and well maintained, the service is excellent, the restaurant... More

We love the Ilomba--right next to a gorgeous beach, good restaurant, and very nice rooms. The standard rooms are quite reasonable, but a bit small, particularly for families. You have to rent two rooms for four people but neither has much space to stretch out (although they are VERY clean and nice). Since our kids were visiting us over the... More

I managed two visits to the Ilomba during my stay in Cameroon. I could not have wished to stay at a better place. The first visit was with my husband while the second was alone and both times the service and attention to detail was exceptional. Haivng seen what else was on offer in Kribi it is the nicest place... More
