Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My experience was slightly affected by the fact that I stayed in low season, and at a time when there was political instability along the border with DRC nearby. Hence I was the only guest for most of my time at the hotel which generated a slightly odd feeling. However, the suite I was allocated to was absolutely beautiful, incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean. The view into the rainforest from the private patio at the rear of the suite was fantastic and perfect for relaxation. The quality of the food in the hotel restaurant was of the highest class, and although the waiting staff were possibly slightly over-attentive (because I was the only diner most of the time) they were really friendly & professional. Reception staff gave me great advice regarding how to arrange activities in the park, inc contact details for the park guides. I had a great couple of days at the hotel and would thoroughly recommend it.

Aged and not a value-for-money

Very underwhelming. Was the more expensive hotel in an 11 day stay on Rwanda. Hotel is old, staff just going through the motions. Hot water needed fixing. Its location is convenient for the chimp tour.

Good hotel, great staff and location

A good value hotel in a great location. Very friendly staff who are always on hand to answer any questions. Comfortable and clean rooms which always had hot water. The food is of a very good standard (compliments to the chef). Tea plantations (Gisakura) are a short walk away and you'll meet a lot of friendly locals on the road. Short drive (25 mins) to the start of most treks in Nyungwe with the usual place for Chimp trekking (Cyamadongo) being around 1 hour away. Some disruption with electricity but the staff were always quick to put on the generator (remember you are in rural Rwanda where electricity is a privilege for the majority of the population, so stay patient). Wifi is only available in the main building which is great for switching off in your room. My one critique would be the price for tea/water was excessively high. Thank you!

overpriced and worn out

The hotel has a beautiful view and could be a beautiful hotel. However, it is worn out and the price is unreasonably high! Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no other option if you want a room with your own bathroom or you don't want to camp. Staff is friendly and helpful, food is ok but not special.

Mixed bag of great location and limited service.

Rooms without refrigerator (please buy in the restaurant as stiff prices). Bathroom has bath with included shower, but no shower curtain. Comfortable bed in a large bedroom. Furniture is strangely arranged and the lights are cold white. Breakfast is great, and make sure to order the omelette (it is not offered automatically). The location is a gem, next to the beautiful Nyungwe forest, only 20 min drive to the start of most forest hikes. Dinner is a buffet at extra charge.
