Peaceful place with views!
Pros:

Nice staff, breakfast and views! The place feels new and fresh. Can recommend the massage for a reasonable price.
When one of us got sick and we had postpone our safaritour for one day with very short notice there were no hazzle at all. Thank's for that!
Our safariguide Chris was a pleasant guy. Spoke good english, good kwowledge about the animals we saw and always with focus on the customer. Thank's Chris!

Cons:

The beds are very hard. Wifi could work better. Not much to do on the site except dining, enjoying the views and reading books. But if you want a little more activity around you I'm sure that the staff will help you with a driver to the nearest village.

Pros:

L'emplacement, le cadre et le standing de la chambre (et de la salle de bain).

Cons:

La cuisine. Très en deçà de ce qu'on est en droit d'attendre d'un hôtel qui se veut "chic" et dont le coût d'une nuitée est très élevé pour le Rwanda. Savoir-faire pas au rendez-vous.

Pros:

Eine traumhafte Unterkunft mit Blick auf den Ihema-See. Wunderbare Natur, Idylle, frische Luft, perfekt gelegen, man ist in etwa 15 Minuten am Gate des Nationalparks.
Ein besonderer Dank gilt dem Personal: Die Frauen an der Rezeption waren unglaublich aufmerksam und herzlich und der Koch hat uns großartige Mahlzeiten zubereitet und sich stets vergewissert, dass es uns schmeckt. Es hat uns so gut gefallen, dass wir unseren Aufenthalt um 3 Nächte verlängert haben!

Just the views are worth staying and the shower is magic on top
Pros:

The room was excellent and the shower would have to be the best shower ever. Amazing views from shower, room and veranda. Exceeded my expectations by a mile!! And the staff were wonderful. Excellent location for Akagera National Park.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike only love for this Lodge

An absolute gem of a lodge overlooking Akagera National Park
Pros:

Absolutely everything was just perfect. The smile of Julia and Oriste , they went out of their way to help us ! The food was delicious and I cant find anything to complain about. Only recommend

Cons:

For me its not a problem, but the short climb up or down from the reception to the rooms (cottages) could be a bit challenging for people with knees or arthritis problems. Otherwise its impossible to find fault

Pros:

The location is amazing, overlooking the park and just a few minutes away from the main entrance. The rooms are absolutely amazing. So spacious and very stylish and modern decor and finishing. The shower offers a view over the park which is amazing. The bed is huge and probably one of the most comfortable ones we've had in all of Rwanda. We'll be back.

Cons:

Breakfast was a very basic for the price we paid.

Great for a relaxing and quiet getaway
Pros:

The views are amazing and love the more intimate scale. The staff were amazing, too.

Cons:

There wasnt anything I can think of. I suppose there could have been more common/gathering spaces on the property beyond the individual rooms or the bar/restaurant. But it was a solo/getaway trip so I didn't really care to do that anyway.
