My family and I have just spent 3 fantastic nights in Umutozo lodge. The location is genuinely breathtaking, on the shores of lake Kivu. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel totally at home. The staff are all exceptionally helpful and friendly. I can honestly say I have never stayed at a place that has such a joyful, communal feel to it. I had read that dinner is served communally and as a reserved Englishman I wasn’t sure if I liked that idea but in reality it was truly lovely. It gave my family and I an opportunity to meet fellow travellers from around the world and it made the whole experience so homely. We loved it. The owner Phillipe is extremely hands on and a wonderful host. A very interesting, humble man, it was a pleasure to meet him. Similarly Eric, the hotel manager is someone my family and I will never forget. A lovely man and very helpful. I would highly recommend visiting Rwanda and any visit to Rwanda would not be complete without a stay at Umutuzo lodge. To all the team, thanks for making our stay so special

Wonderful hotel at an absolutely amazing location on the shore of lake Kivu. The road to the hotel is 10km of adventurous 4x4 terrain, but the hotel also offers boat pickups from nearby cities. When there, also explore the nearby coffee factory that gives tours - hotel boat can take you across the bay.

    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.
