The property is nicely set up and at an awesome spot right at lake Kivu. The interior of the restaurant and the room was great, we had a bonfire in the restaurant, the food was delicious, staff was very helpful and attentive. The room had a a nice secluded view over the lake and a small peaceful garden. There was a lot of attention to detail in everything.

Beautiful and scenic. Service was top notch! The drive to Lake Kivu was gorgeous. When we got there we were greeted with refreshments. Staff was very warm and welcoming. They accommodated our request for adjoining rooms and even made special arrangements for the same. Making payments was not a problem. Food was good especially the Captain Fish with mushroom sauce! The rooms were clean, spacious, cosy and very comfortable. The shower was really good with good pressure and hot water. Breakfast was a treat on the balcony overlooking the gorgeous lake and the garden. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable yet luxurious retreat!

We stayed two nights as a quick stopover from Uganda heading to Kigali. The hotel is right on Lake Kivu, a great location with beautiful views. It was too windy for us to enjoy (I get sea sick) but they do offer kayaks and boat tours. The room was very nice, bed was comfy, and the shower was hot. Restaurant on site was great, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

    The location is great, with a private beach to enjoy the lake Kivu and take a boat ride. Excellent food and warm welcoming like always. The guests can see the fishing activities during the sunset, really amazing experience.
