This apartment exceeded our expectations. The host welcomed us with a smile, offered local tips, and was always available for anything we needed. The rooms were spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and the location is ideal—quiet, but close to the town center and hot springs. A gem in Gisenyi!

The staff is absolutely wonderful. My partner has mobility issues and she is on a walker support. Once I made the booking and got the contact details of the resort, the front desk staff Christian was kind enough to send us a video of the premises to check if it would be comfortable for her. He offered to bring food to our room without charging us for room service because of my partner's condition. I was having flu when I got there and requested for an electric kettle to be placed in the room so that I can have hot water form time to time. The hotel didn't have an electric kettle, but brought a large thermos filled with hot water for the next few days which realty helped me. The breakfast was superb and filling, consisting of fruits, eggs as preferred, pan cakes, fresh juice and coffee / tea. The staff Ezikeil and Elie were really great, who were taking care of our needs. The room allocated to us was right in front of Lake Kivu with a stunning view, The room is spacious with very comfortable king size beds.

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.
