Hotels in Rwanda

Calm, relaxing place close to the Akagera Park. Nice and clean spacious cottage. Very helpful supportive service. Thank you!

Amazing location. Great staff & service. The boat ride on the lake is top!

We were very well received. Excellent food, great service. We had a fantastic stay. Beautiful views and a less touristic area. Very calm, you can hear fisherman singing.

The lodge exceeded our expectations. The views from both the restaurant and the rooms, overlooking the volcanoes, are truly breathtaking. The room was very beautiful, with thoughtful details that made it a perfect place to relax. The manager and staff were consistently kind and helpful, both in sharing information before our arrival and in their availability throughout our stay. We also joined one of the activities offered, the Twin Lakes tour, which was wonderful; our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. The evening bonfire at the restaurant was a special touch and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend the place and we hope to be back soon!

My family and I have just spent 3 fantastic nights in Umutozo lodge. The location is genuinely breathtaking, on the shores of lake Kivu. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel totally at home. The staff are all exceptionally helpful and friendly. I can honestly say I have never stayed at a place that has such a joyful, communal feel to it. I had read that dinner is served communally and as a reserved Englishman I wasn’t sure if I liked that idea but in reality it was truly lovely. It gave my family and I an opportunity to meet fellow travellers from around the world and it made the whole experience so homely. We loved it. The owner Phillipe is extremely hands on and a wonderful host. A very interesting, humble man, it was a pleasure to meet him. Similarly Eric, the hotel manager is someone my family and I will never forget. A lovely man and very helpful. I would highly recommend visiting Rwanda and any visit to Rwanda would not be complete without a stay at Umutuzo lodge. To all the team, thanks for making our stay so special

Staying here felt like home. We were treated like family.

Lovely place, well located, amazing staff, very good food, comfortable common areas and rooms, attention to detail including boot cleaning, foot massages, bed warmers, nice fireplace in room, bathrobes and slippers, tea in room, lovely garden, etc.

It was so quiet and chilled and the food was excellent. The staff were really friendly as were the other guests….. slept like a log, glorious views from our cabin and there was plenty to do (if u wanted to)…, We did a lovely boat trip around the other islands and a fantastic bike mountain bike ride thru rural Rwanda. We even stopped at a school to meet the children and see them in their classrooms…

I stayed at Akagera Park Inn for one day on a work trip, and honestly, the experience exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, everything was perfectly organized, warm, and professional. The location is outstanding, very close to Akagera National Park, surrounded by nature and peaceful landscapes. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, with all the amenities you need to relax after a long day. The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and served with great hospitality. What truly made my stay unforgettable was the excellent safari experience organized by the hotel. They arranged a professional game drive inside Akagera National Park, and it was absolutely amazing — we saw wildlife in their natural habitat, and the guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and very passionate about conservation. On top of that, the boat tour on Lake Ihema was breathtaking, offering close views of hippos, crocodiles, and birds — a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I also had the opportunity to visit the Akagera Community Initiative Center, and I must say it was beyond expectation. The center showcases inspiring community projects, local culture, and conservation efforts. It gave my visit a deeper meaning and made me appreciate how tourism here truly supports local communities. The staff at Akagera Park Inn are exceptionally welcoming, attentive, and professional. You feel genuinely cared for, not just as a guest but as part of the Akagera experience. I highly recommend Akagera Park Inn to anyone visiting Akagera National Park — whether for business, leisure, or safari. This place offers comfort, adventure, community impact, and unforgettable memories all in one. I will definitely return again. Absolutely fantastic stay!

The staff were so hospitable and welcoming. Food was delicious. Would recommend as a good place for being close to the volcanoes and getting to lake Kivu.

The staff were very polite and extremely helpful. The room was large and was perfectly clean. Breakfast was included in the price and was generous, tasty and was ready on the expected time after I pre-ordered the night before. The hotel is at 10-15 minutes walk (5 minutes with Move or Taxi) from the KCC and the location is very safe to walk in even on the evening. I did not tried Lunch or Dinner, so can not comment about the food.
