Pros:

מקום מאד מטופח ונאה. הצוות מאד ידידותי. האוכל היה טעים מאד והוגדש יפה. ממליץ לאכול שם ארוחת ערב.
החדר היה נעים מאד. יש מים חמים וזרם מים טוב!
המחיר היה גבוה ביחס לתמורה.
ארוחת הבוקר שמוגשת צנועה מדיי! הוספתי סלט ירקות/אבוקדו - לדעתי צריך להיות כלול במחיר .
באופן כללי לשלם 70 דולר ללילה ליחיד זה הרבה יותר מדיי!
האיזור יפה. ממליץ לבקר בעיר עצמה- נקי עם בתים יפים.
חבל שאין להם מכונת אספרסו.
המקום עובד בקצת איטי מקומי.

Lieu sympathique, personnel adorable mais hôtel rustique et restaurant catastrophique
Pros:

Le personnel, et Emmanuel en particulier qui a été adorable. La proximité avec le lac Kivu et le petit déjeuner sur la plage.

Cons:

La proximité avec la route et le bruit consécutif. La mauvaise isolation phonique.
La restauration, une vrais catastrophe.

Worthy staying at for vacation
Pros:

The nature and environment

Cons:

The place is nice but the bed nets not comfortable. And the bed’s screws should be tightened.

Amazing place
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay overall. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The breakfast was delicious, and I was especially pleased to find a vegan option available, which is not always easy to come by. In the evening, the bonfire created a lovely atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and meet other guests. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the surroundings are truly beautiful. It was also great that kayaks were available to rent, although I found the rental price to be a bit expensive.

Cons:

The property is located right next to a very busy road with frequent truck traffic, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The Wi-Fi connection in the rooms was quite weak, and there was no drinking water provided in the rooms or even available during breakfast, which was surprising and inconvenient. Aside from these issues, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this place, especially for its stunning location and outstanding hospitality.
