INZU Lodge mission is to provide ecological accommodations and a unique tourism experience while respecting Rwanda's traditions and which will also benefit the local community.
Inzu lodge is set up a steep hill which means you have stunning views of lake Kivu when you are there. We camped in our own tent and the eco shower was hot and clean. There was the option of flushing or compost toilet. The food is wonderful. Some of the best value and more unusual vegetarian or vegan choices in Rwanda. I love the presentation on banana leaves of some dishes. The only thing is the tents you stay in could be revamped to be a bit more stylish. They are currently basic, but serve their purpose.

This is a no star review. I was on a work trip with friends. We were staying nearby and looking for a nice place for food and drink. We found this on the map and decided to check it out. Turns out you have to book from Kigali, you can't just go there. Which is fine, if that's how they want to do things. But what was absolutely unacceptable was the extreme unpleasantness we received from the guard at the gate. We stopped the car and it was all he could do to walk over to us. The first word out of his mouth was simply, 'No.' No what, we wondered. He walked to the passenger side where our Rwandan colleague was sitting and began with 'Umva' ('listen up'). He was extremely rude towards us and we were glad to drive away. Perhaps they should take their 1.5 million francs per night and invest it in some manners.

Lake Kivu Serena Hotel is located in the resort Rwandan town of Gisenyi, on the shores of Lake Kivu, the sixth largest lake in Africa. The hotel is ideally situated on a sandy palm lined beach, with the nearby Virunga Volcanoes providing a spectacular backdrop on one side and a panoramic view of the lake on the other.
Wonderful stay, lovely hotel, spotlessly clean, lovely beach area, good food with large selection. Couldn't fault it, lovely staff, and nice rooms, well furnished and clean. Amazing birds in the trees, and lovely singing, fascinating to watch whilst relaxing with a beer.

I have stayed for one night and I loved it ! Great service and value for money! The guy at the reception is very nice and those at the restaurant. It’s just 2 minutes walk to the lake and other exciting places arround. The rooms were super clean , beds are comfortable but wifi was quite slow ?

We loved rwiza village. We found the price quality ratio good (we did get discount due to corona). Loved the hut, beds comfortable, waking up to a beautiful sunrise over the lake and the fisherman singing as they return home. Staff very helpful. Great breakfast, relaxing. We stayed one night more… that’s how lovey it was!

The Cleo was an amazing place to visit! It's perched beautifully above lake kivu. My group stopped for an evening visit in the lake and dinner. The lake water was cool and extremely refreshing. Their overall service was amazing. This hospitality was above and beyond. Dinner did take some time, but most sit down restaurants in Rwanda are the same way. It's simply their culture. But this gave my group plenty of time to discuss some thing and enjoy the night. Is I have the opportunity to visit Rwanda again the will definitely be a stay here planned! Thank you Cleo!

We spent three nights here and really enjoyed our stay. Our double room was clean and spacious with a good bathroom. The hotel has an attached restaurant with delicious food which is very convenient. The food does take its time though. The balcony of the restaurant overlooks the lake which is quite atmospheric. The hotel can also help organise boat trip which adds to the convenience. All the staff were friendly and polite, and went out of their way to help us with our time in Kibuye (Honere was a highlight)- highly recommended.

The reception was warm & welcoming. The rooms are ok, no Tv in the rooms, perhaps for people to bond?. The view from the rooms breathtaking. Staff ready to help. Food was delicious. Well manicured garden. We enjoyed our stay.

Top View Hill Hotel was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Nyungwe Rainforest and chimpanzee trekking. The rooms/chalets were nice with fresh flowers from the garden, a fireplace that was lit when it got chilly and hot water bottles in our bed when we came back from dinner. The staff were very professional and friendly. The food was good and they packed a nice breakfast for us when we had to leave really early for the chimpanzee trekking. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere with gorgeous views over the rainforest and hills. We highly recommend staying here!
