Hotel très agréable et personnel très à l'écoute.
Pros:

le personnel était très à l'écoute car une des personnes mangeait sans gluten le repas du soir était délicieux, les chambres et salle de douche très confortables. L'eau était bien chaude, la terrasse avec belle vue.

Cons:

Le pommeau de douche supérieure était fendu mais l'autre fonctionnait.

Exceptionnel.Athentique. Un moment de régénération profonde dans un endroit d’un calme rare !

Le site est unique avec une vue majestueuse sur le lac Kivu, une pelouse à perte de vue et un calme tout à fait magique. Les chambres sont spacieuses, propres et bien entretenues !

Cons:

J’ai TOUT apprécié . Et surtout l’amabilité particuliete de Christine, l’hôte des lieux ! 👍👌

Relax sul lago Kivu
Pros:

La struttura è immersa nel verde e si affaccia sul lago Kivu. Piacevolissimo l'ampio giardino dove abbiamo fatto la colazione da soli. Il personale è molto gentile e le cene sono state decisamente eccellenti.

Cons:

Purtroppo, per raggiungere la struttura che si trova su una penisola, bisogna fare un paio di chilometri su una strada sassosa da percorrere a passo d'uomo per non correre il rischio di forare. Un 4x4 è consigliabile.

Great place
Pros:

I loved the cooking and the way the cook helped us. It is very peaceful and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The food is ridiculously expensive. There were power shortages. The road leading to the place is absolutely awful. No reading lamps by the bed.

Phenomenal stay when visiting Lake Kivu or the Chimps in Ngunywe
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Nothing

Lovely spot to spend a night or two before or after your visit to Nyungwe National Park.
Pros:

Bumpy, dirt road to the facility is worth to travel to reach this gem. Friendly staff, excellent and well priced food, overall impeccable cleanliness. Rooms in the form of bungalows with lake view (just 20 m away from the shore), with tea and coffee making facilities. You wake up to the sound of birds and fishermen singing in their boats. Paradise for bird watchers. Calm and relaxing - strongly recommended!

Cons:

Beware of the neigbouring hotel - it might get noisy with bar music.

Overall Nice Overnight Stay
Pros:

Clean and modern rooms with nice bathroom, beautiful lake view. We stopped on way to Nyungwe National Park which is a good 1.25 hour drive from the property.

Cons:

Food needs to improve. Don't have items like Margherita Pizza on the menu which are difficult for the Chef to execute.
