Hotels in Rwanda

Spectacular view, clean room, good facilities in room, exceptional staff, wonderful food, located close to Akagera National Park entrance.

To all my fellow travellers: don't miss this place. It has just opened, they are still adding new services, and it is already a little wonder: The lodge, which is a little higher than the road, offers and magnificent view and it is placed very near to the entrance of Akagera national park. There is no closest hotel, except for those in the park itself; The rooms, which draw their character from the beautiful wooden style, are incredibly confortable, well designed, with a little terrasse perfect to read in this magic atmosphere; The swimming pool is simple but perfect to relax after the "African massage" of the safari road, with a beautiful view; The restaurant also points to the mountain in front, it has the same wooden style, a nice bar and a view to the kitchen to see the Chef in action; The place is also thought well so that it is serving and benefiting the community around: not only is it ecological and affordable, Akagera Park Inn buys its food from the local farmers, it is building a local shop to promote local crafts, it is working with local guides and massage centers, it aims to make its economic adventure an inclusive one that benefits the community. And of course, I have to mention the team who made everything to ensure that I had a good stay. For example, I received a warm welcome with fresh fruit mocktail and warm towel, they offered a little lunchpack for the safari, were extremely flexible with dinner and breakfast time, and put me in contact with the Ellie, a wonderful young guide who showed me around, took me for a brochette and some banana wine after the safari.

This is such a great location and place to stay. The staff was so amazing, supportive and friendly all the time. They treated us well and provided all the amenities we needed to make our stay just great! We wish them all the best and hope they keep up the good work and services.

Very welcoming with personalized attention. It was a lovely stay, loved all the birds in the trees around the pool area. Thank you Isabel and Justine

Really peaceful and are environment. The hotel also recommended a super company for the gorilla trekking experience and pick up from Kigali.

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!

This property is simply amazing. The rooms are large , very well decorated with taste. The views from the property are simply breathtaking. The staff of the property is simply perfect. We could not dream better place!!! The best kept secret of Rwanda to be discovered!!

We had an exceptional wonderful stay at Umurobyio Lodge. It's the perfect place to unwind and immerse oneself in the beautiful nature of Rwanda. The Lodge offers everything one would need for an unforgettable holiday.The scenic views from all angles over Lake Kivu are breathtaking. The staff were incredibly attentive, always helpful and friendly, catering to our needs with a warm smile. The hospitality of the owners and the whole team made us feel truly welcome. The food was a highlight - fresh, delicious, and healthy, a feast for both the eyes and the palate.  Our room was spotless, clean, and very comfortable, complete with a spacious balcony offering a fantastic view over the lake.  We had a wonderful experience and we can only recommend the Lodge for a perfect holiday.

It’s a very idyllic place, people are great and the food is delicious. Already in advance the team supported us well by answering questions and organising transportation.

Everything was top! Very good food, nice swimming pool!

Really wonderful staff who went above and beyond during our stay! Shout out to Bienfait for being so helpful in arranging transport, activities and currency exchange. Our room was massive with a super comfy bed!

Phenomenal location, the only real hotel in the park. Rooms were exquisite, personnel, super friendly, and food was good.
