Hotels in Rwanda

Gorgeous property, sweeping vistas, newly decorated, large contemporary rooms. Wonderful proximity to the park. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Large window in the shower has views of the lake. You can see Tanzania in the distance! Great restaurant with beautiful views from the terrace. Five star location. Don’t hesitate to book. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The lodge provided an exceptional one-night stay during my visit to Akagera National Park. The staff were remarkably welcoming, with Emmy, the manager, standing out for his outstanding hospitality. The meals served were delicious, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. The combination of excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and delectable cuisine made the stay truly memorable. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone visiting the park and look forward to returning in the future. It was a delightful experience that left a lasting impression.

The welcome is so warm, and throughout the stay, the warmth doesn't wear out. And there was an exceptional fish stew that I would like everyone to try. The fruit plater at breakfast is great. Finally, for those who like jogging, there's a lot of choice.

First off, this hotel is a hidden gem. Our tour company recommended their own suggestions and we were not pleased with them so we did our own research and I found this place. Wow! First off, it’s beautifully located right on Lake Kivu and is so relaxed and feels very safe with their own security. The room is beautiful, spacious, and has a great bathroom and patio. Moreover, the staff was outstanding and so attentive and communicative. And the food was outstanding on property. Breakfast is included so make sure to enjoy it. We also loved our dinner.

I loved that it was a women owned eco resort. No plastic water bottles. The staff was wonderful. Helped me beyond belief getting the tour I really wanted with a great guide. Good food and even an espresso machine!!!

Firstly, to the staff: thank you, Madam Alphonsine and Jean D'amour! Professional, friendly, helpful, and engaged. I and my Husband spent 1 night at Ruhondo Island retreat,The tented room with a jungle view is lovely. Clean, cool green roofs, a mix of tradition and modern styles—I really loved it. The other facilities, such as wifi and the breakfast room, were all first-class. The location—OMG, can you get how great the island hotel is for full relaxation and being quietly safe? PERFECT. Excellent service. From the moment we arrived at the parking lot and got a boat, the staff was extremely courteous. They also helped us to book a good tour hike Mount.Bisoke in Volcanoes National Park with their professional tour guide. The food was very good and sumptuous.Other attractions: The hotel has a free wifi connection. They also have a greenery garden designed for reading books with scenery from nature and Lake Ruhondo.The rest... well, Musanze is a beautiful city with so much to see and do, and this hotel just complements and completes a wonderful experience.

Beautiful views, friendly staff. The room was amazing.

This is a stay that I have never experienced before, exceptional is an understatement. We couldn’t have picked a better place for our honeymoon, and I am genuinely convinced that this tops all other lodges. If you want to experience Rwanda up close and personal, and also realistic, this is the place. You will surely feel at home and private. One tip, if you plan to reach the lodge by self-driving a car, a SUV is a must. Otherwise, there are options for airport pick up even from Kigali for a fee. There are various activities offered by the lodge which are worthwhile and a full-board dining is most definitely recommended. Overall, we are coming back 10/10.

Astonishing view, once in a life time - volcanoes, lake, islands, fisher boats... Such idyllic almost unbelievable scenery. Perfect communication with the owner before arriving, he solved any details of the travelling to there. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are simple yet convenient. I staid in rooms, not in a tent and i am perfectly satisfied. No mosquito problems in the room. Food is also simple but tasty.

It is hard to summarize everything I enjoyed about the hotel in just 2 or 3 sentences :) Upon arrival, we were greeted with one of the most delicious mango juices that I have ever tasted, along with smiles and hellos from all of the staff. THEN - I couldn't believe it - one of my friends mentioned that it was my birthday the next day. When my friend and I were brought to our room, we were told we had been upgraded to the luxury suite to help celebrate. The room was gorgeous. There were a few cultural/traditional decorations, but it was very modern (and there was a lot of natural lighting with the large window). The bathroom is worthy of its own review as well. It was beautiful and you could tell the thoughtfulness put into its design. Unfortunately I did not make time to use the bathtub, but the shower was amazing. The next highlight was the restaurant area (with a beautiful pool in the center of it). Again, my loss for not making the time to take a dip, but I certainly made sure to have every breakfast - and bite of it, for that matter. The breakfast was included in our stay. Usually I expect a satisfactory meal that is more utilitarian than enjoyable. I couldn't believe how delicious everything was. Honestly, my favorite meals of the trip. If I remember correctly, the chef did his studies in Dubai; I was very impressed. The breakfast was three courses - you start with a delicious coffee or latte, fruits, and then come the main courses. You have to try the pineapple jam! Check out was a sad moment for me because I did not physically want to leave! But alas, my flight and work the next day awaited. The host was very gracious and allowed for a later check out given the late departure time of my flight, and of course, they allowed us to keep our bags there while we took one more trip into the city. As we were leaving, they gave us a special gift that they provide to all guests.

Everything! What a good place, staff, facilities. They was very kind to us, respectful and friendly. We love this place
