Overall Ratings

Urugano Virunga Palace is located in a very quiet environment, the best place to relax read and work if needed. The house is in a very safe environment and near Musanze city (5 mins) drive. We have a working place and library with a view of the volcanoes. We have a kitchen that can be used by our guests and a chef that can make your healthy orders as per the guest request , we also have a mini-bar
Great service and food
Reviewed By dangK9444GNThe hotel staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. They also have really good food, I can recommend the grilled tilapia which was the best I had had so far! After hiking they also took great care of us with warm drinks. The rooms are basic, but very clean.

Wonderful stay at Da Vinci Lodge
Reviewed By ruterd2022My sister and I had a memorable stay at Da Vinci Lodge. We arrived early in the morning for a quick nap before our gorilla trek. After the gorilla trek, we were pleasantly surprised by a foot massage by Eli and Mogesha. Our room was heated by an in room fire place and our beds had heat packs which made us sleep well. The next day, we went to see golden monkeys and our room was decorated with flowers upon our return as we packed our bags. Our delicious meals had large portions. Thanks to Tony, Eli, Mogesha and the rest of the staff for a great experience at Da Vinci.

Gorgeous gardens, delicious food and good value
Reviewed By H7087YPelizabethkWe had such a great time visiting this wonderful place - Beds are super comfortable and with hot waterbottles at your feet (provided for free) and the nice blankets we were toasty even when it dipped to single digits - local dancers stopped by to perform for tips and it was a great opportunity to help some talented kids get some cash towards paying their school fees - recommended without reservations!

Beautiful place with great food, comfortable rooms, awesome staff and revenues going to a childcare organization!
Reviewed By E3414TZalexanderlI visited this hotel twice, one time only travelling and one time working. For both occasions it has everything you need. It's currently managed by a German couple, who are very helpful and want you to have the best time on your trip in Rwanda. They gave me many insider tips on visiting the caves, the volcanoes national park and other places in the country, organized a bicycle for me and many more. Since they own a restaurant for 30 years in Germany, they make sure that there is excellent Western and Rwandan food. In the whole hotel there is Wifi and they have hot showers. The rooms and beds are very comfortable, the hotel area is very green and they are conscious about sustainability issues. I can definitely recommend this place and wouldn't visit any other hotel in Musanze.

Isabelle (France)
Reviewed By Bidule005We spent one night in Virunga hotel, that is located is a noisy road The rooms are well equipped and clean. The beds are comfortable. Food is good. The major concern is that the hotel is not located close to the Volcanoes national park headquarter, from where gorillas and golden monkeys trekking begin. Thus, you have to wake up earlier to be in good condition for the general briefing regarding gorillas and golden monkeys trekking!!!

Home Away Home!
Reviewed By USAT7I had a wonderful experience and the staff was very efficient and helpful. Close to restaurants and well located in the City Centre. I travelled by local bus from Kigali so it was easy to walk to the lodge. This is a good base for doing activities in Musanze and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg- especially when doing the Gorilla experience as a add on. Highly recommendable. Definitely Home Away from Home. Looking forward to my return visit!

Very cool

unbeatable experience and service
Reviewed By Chris SWe stayed in Francis' and his family's home stay for a week in Musanze and would highly recommend that you stay here. Firstly, Musanze is quite expensive accommodation wise, but Virunga Homestay offers beautiful clean and comfortable place to stay at great value for money. The homestay itself offers comfortable rooms, and fantastic shared spaces; including a large living room and dining area and nice balcony with views of Musanze's impressive volcanoes. As hosts Francis and his family are exceptional. During our stay Francis would continually help us with what we want us to do and would always be ready to offer support or advice; whether it was delicious and varied home cooked meals, laundry, or access to local swimming pools or hiking, Francis was always ready with immediate support. Throughout all this our privacy was well respected and we felt the full benefit of living in a homestay while being able to have time to ourselves whenever we wanted it. We were working remotely during our stay and had a great experience, having had difficulties elsewhere working in homestays in other places.

fantastic budget place to stay
Reviewed By Sakiko12Staff was extremely hospitable and welcoming. Bedrooms were comfortable and clean with individual mosquito nets over beds. Bread, fruit and omelett were freshly prepared for us for breakfast at an agreed time. No issues for an earlier breakfast when we started our day with an early hiking activity. Plus when we came back with our muddy shoes staff was accommodating and helped us cleaning and drying in the backyard. Shared bathroom is as clean as it can be when you use it with several people. Since there is no shower curtain the entire floor gets wet easily and nothing to dry it off - which is the only minus point I can list. The place is located in short walking distance to town in a quiet street. Internet didn't work at all times though this wasn't an issue for us. Definitely recommended!!

A good option in Musanze
Reviewed By THFA1984The place is clean and functional. Rooms are a good size. Good parking and security. WiFi is fine. Food is ok. Pretty good value for money given the slim hotel pickings in Musanze centre. The gym doesn’t really exist (or not whilst I was there, a room with a bench and no equipment). Pool is great and catches the sun.
