The lodge has been finished to the highest standards. It hits the absolute sweet spot of combining chic with homely. Savine, your host at the lodge, is friendly, informative and extremely helpful. She has recruited and trained her team extremely well as they are all, from the security guard at the gate onwards, lovely and professional in their roles. If you choose to stay here you will not regret it.

I loved the scenery overlooking Lake Kivu. Nirvana has a lovely pool with a good view of the lake.. Also loved the local hut inspired room designs equipped with modern toilet facilities. The location is also a walking distance to the beach side where you can board a boat to get to the natural hot water springs ("volcanic water").

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

Lovely location. I enjoyed taking walks on the steep stone-paved sidewalks. In the evening I was able to enjoy two cold beer drinks while talking to friends around a nice fire pit. The open flames added to the relaxation and peace of the well-landscaped gardens.
