Looking at the different reviews I noticed that the valuation of the hotel is rather diverse. Most reviewers prize the surroundings of the hotel, but there are also those who point to the lack of service and consider the establishment overprized. After four days at the hotel I can understand the opinion of both parties but my own impression is... More

Absolutely beautiful setting in a large, well-tended garden (organic vegetables included), with comfortable cottages and friendly, easy-going service. On a sunny morning, the view of the Lokon volcano is stunning. The restaurant is excellent. The staff are receptive to any and all requests, and offer good suggestions.

We were disappointed from the start, as Gardenia failed to live up to expectations given the prices they charge... Impressive selection of flowers all nicely labelled, but a little soulless somehow, and chalets too close together if the place was busy... But we turned up at lunchtime midweek to find the place empty and nobody doing anything much, least of... More

We enjoyed our 2 nights 'off' at Gardenia Country Inn. We had a great time as we enjoyed the beautiful gardens, the lovely & helpful people and the great and fresh food. Our first evening we were surprised by a 'table BBQ'. Fresh meat & vegetables (special plate was made for the vegetarian. Very toughtful!) were served and we were... More

Spent a blissful 2 nights and three days here. The grounds are amazing, very well kept, exuding a sense of peace everywhere you go. We were in a large bungalow, which included a large bedroom area as well as another room that was a sitting/eating area with a fridge. Closet, desk, night tables, electric outlets. There was also an outdoor... More
