This hotel has just gotten better over the last few years. Its really an exceptional place to stay in Freetown, very clean and comfortable, and a great value for the money.

The Country Lodge is my favorite hotel in Freetown. It has the best view of the ocean and town (from top of Station Hill); reliable wifi and very friendly staff. Most rooms have verandas overseeing the ocean; theres a gym; tennis court and pools. And its also far from the hustle and bustle of the city which (for me) is a huge plus. Highly recommended.

The Country Lodge Hotel has a magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean and Freetown from the top of the Hill Station. It has a gym and two swimming pools (one for kids) and the best wifi in town (I could download a 50 min movie in 10 minutes). The access road to the top of the hill is quite bumpy, but manageable even during the rainy season. The bar food menu is not great and it's the only one available during the rainy season. The main restaurant (open the rest of the year) has a much better selection of food.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice large room, generally clean and comfortable and staff is friendly and switched on. Food was so, so with some dishes very good and some dishes very disappointing. Wifi surprisingly good, very few power outages, very poor water pressure in the shower.

I only stayed here for 1 night, but I really enjoyed my stay. While the location isn't especially convenient for accessing Freetown, being located in the hills gives you an amazing view over Freetown which makes it worthwhile. The view from the bar/restaurant was great! The food here was good too. The staff were extremely friendly and I couldn't fault them. Breakfast was good but would have been nice to have proper coffee rather than instant coffee. I'll happily stay again next time I'm in Sierra Leone. Thanks!

The hotel is currently under construction. They had upgraded our rooms to the presidential suite which was across from the main lobby in another building. There are no elevators and it far from the restaurants. Lots of stairs and walking. I also wish my mattress was softer. The view from the restaurant was amazing. The staffs were the nicest most attentive group of people I have ever met.

We spent almost a week here and although it’s a great choice for Freetown there are a few minor downsides.The menu is limited in the restaurant and sometimes sections of the menu are totally unavailable.The pool is lovely but there are often afternoon or evening events on which prevent you from utilising the pool and relaxing down by the pool in the evening whilst peacefully enjoying the sunset.There was often very loud music until 3am, which although not an issue for us if you are a light sleeper it could well be.

Nice and quietDifficult to get transport from the place and the road to the hotel needs to be repaired very bumpy

room was very nice and clean. There was a musty smell in the room.

Nice, clean, friendly, free breakfast, strong wifi

Hotel is quiet, safe and spacious out of town so transport essential. Staff are excellent and helpful. Restaurant provides good quality food. There is a good size pool and bar area to watch sunsets

Very comfortable, hot water, a/c and wifi all working well. Pool very nice, service good. A great stay!

Very nice place - great view of Freetown and the ocean - though the road is rather bumpy to get there. Rooms are being modernised - but are comfortable. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a nice stay.

Great Pool area, super friendly staff and people, Amazing hilltop views, and great breakfast service :-)

The Country Lodge is a little oasis of peace and tranquility in Freetown, with stunning views over the city. It might not be 5* by London, Paris or New York standards but it is a really special spot and head and shoulders above its competiiton in Freetown!

Country Lodge Hotel is an older hotel in Freetown with old and humid rooms, that are in urgent need of renovation. There is some renovation ongoing but very slow. 2 very good things have to be mentioned about the hotel: The views are amazing and so is the food, but the hotel itself needs an urgent upgrade. I will come again because of location and food, hoping that rooms have been upgraded dramatically

Reasons to stay here: Restaurant patio and Bar actually enables you to forget for a few hours where you are. Great (really really good!) wifi throughout. Highly visible hired security staff outside. This hotel provides a great retreat from the daily existence on the ground in the surrounding areas. The rooms are relatively clean if a bit sparse. The A/C is cold, the tv works and they have very fast wifi everywhere. FaceTime, Skype or streaming videos all worked very well. The well appointed fitness room might be the only one for a very long way because it gets quite full from time to time. Reasons to consider alternates: Road in (once you depart pavement) can be pretty rough slow going. Housekeeping, daily cleaning is somewhat limited by western standards but adiquate. Towels don't always match etc. Current renovation project can make day time a bit noisey depending on what they are working on that week. Noise was never an issue for us but we were out from 8-5. Depending on what business brings you to town, location is either great (short travel time) or terrible... Context: power goes out for a few minutes while onsite generators spool up, 2-5 times per day. There will never be a mint on your pillow, but you will have 4 pillows and clean sheets. The menu is big enough to stay here for a few weeks and not get bored, but as is typical outside E/U & N.A. what you order and what you get may not always match expectations. Breakfast never disappointed.

It's a good hotel ratively as there are not too many options in Freetown. They are constructing a new section so it might be better when that is complete. I reserved an executive room but they gave me an old stNdard room. Prices are high for what you get... But it's still a good place to stay compare to the rest.

Room cleanliness was extremely poor. Checked in during the evening and room and beds were not clean. Bathroom had mold. Ask housekeeping to clean floor mat with mold and it was never resolved. Paying with credit card was also a challenge since system was unreliable. Service is poor and slow at best.

Nice place but very isolated, food is good staff very pleasant. Big mosquito problem there tho. pool was nice, beer prices absolutely outrageous
