Hotels in Rwanda

It was so much more than I could ever expect. The rooms are one of a kind, private, tasteful with a stunning view over Ihema lake. The staff at Ihema was so sweet and kind.

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

The situation is magical, could not have been better! The cosy wooden, very quiet and bright cottage provides you with the best views over Kivu lake. Outdoor shower is great. Owner Philippe is a truly kind and warm person. Whole staff is smiling and does its best to satisfy you in a simple but very professionnal way like the manager Éric. Food options are simply delicicious and healthy. Activities offered are various (island hopping, community sharing...) and very reasonably priced. Wish Philippe and his team a deserved success story!

Bumpy, dirt road to the facility is worth to travel to reach this gem. Friendly staff, excellent and well priced food, overall impeccable cleanliness. Rooms in the form of bungalows with lake view (just 20 m away from the shore), with tea and coffee making facilities. You wake up to the sound of birds and fishermen singing in their boats. Paradise for bird watchers. Calm and relaxing - strongly recommended!

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.

What a wonderful place to stay. We had a very warm welcome. The two sisters that own the guest house are thoroughly professional and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and honestly the best cappuccino! Sadly for us we were only there for one night but I would highly recommend it.

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!

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!

We drove to Ruhondo from Kigali for a weekend in mid-May. We took a wrong turn on the way, and our hosts at the retreat were so helpful directing us in. That level of superb hospitality continued throughout our entire visit. It’s a short boat ride to the island, but the retreat feels like a faraway paradise. You are immersed in the natural beauty of the island, surrounded by lush vegetation and peaceful blue waters. We loved exploring the island and taking a boat tour of the lake. I received an excellent massage in a lovely outdoor setting by the water. My favorite activity was relaxing on the terrace, snacking on warm peanuts and enjoying magnificent views of volcanic peaks in the distance. This is the perfect place to take morning coffee, read a book, or chat with other guests and our lovely hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and our cabin was clean and comfortable. We slept deeply at night. Our only regret was not staying a few extra dayss!

Very convenient for gorilla trekking. The garden is beautiful and quiet.

Amata n' Ubuki hotel was a truly surpisingly superb selection of hotel, which I enjoyed staying at during my recent visit to Kigali Rwanda. Amata n' Ubuki is a delightful hotel with elegant and stylish decor throughout. It's clean, well-maintained, and features beautiful local art, creating a unique and sophisticated boutique atmosphere. The outdoor area, with the sparkling pool, garden, and lovely meal setting, is a particular standout for relaxation. It was heart-warming how the entire hotel staff went out of there way to make me feel welcome and relaxed. ​The hotel is situated in a nice ,quiet safe neighborhood in central Kigali, it offers quietude while being conveniently located. It's close enough to walk to the Kigali Convention Centre and a short drive from other attractions like Inema Art Center and the airport. From the hotel I enjoyed morning jogging tours and early evening strolls ​The rooms are comfy, perfectly clean, and individually decorated. I loved the attention to detail, including Yes, the premium bedding( Great Beds), air conditioning, and modern en-suite facilities. ​Wonderful Food & Dining: The Amata,, 'n Ubuki hotel restaurant and bar are excellent. The resturant was also a great experience , which features a blend of international and authentic African-inspired cuisine. The complimentary breakfast is a delicious start to the day, and dining by the poolside is a highlight. Here the resturant staff offers professional and personable service. A special thanks to Deborah and all the front desk staff) for their professionalism and simple kindeness for making all my transportation arrangements to and from the hotel. Members of my family and business from the USA will be traveling soon to Kigali Rwanda and will be booking staying at Amata n Ubuki Hotel ,truly "MILK AND HONEY" experience.
