The lodge has been finished to the highest standards. It hits the absolute sweet spot of combining chic with homely. Savine, your host at the lodge, is friendly, informative and extremely helpful. She has recruited and trained her team extremely well as they are all, from the security guard at the gate onwards, lovely and professional in their roles. If you choose to stay here you will not regret it.

Perfect stylish place with nice decor. On the lake. all well organized. Wi-Fi was very good. We liked that it was directly on the lake and little bit out of the city. Amazing garden. The owner is very good in details. The best place to chill and relax in beauty

I loved the scenery overlooking Lake Kivu. Nirvana has a lovely pool with a good view of the lake.. Also loved the local hut inspired room designs equipped with modern toilet facilities. The location is also a walking distance to the beach side where you can board a boat to get to the natural hot water springs ("volcanic water").

This hotel is a gem. I have stayed at Kivu Paradise Resort many times over the past couple of years. Some highlights are the lush tropical gardens, the beach, the stunning lake views, the delicious food and rustic fireplace at the in-house restaurant, and the private cottages. Kivu Paradise Resort is one of my all-time favourites.

Warm welcome by owner Philippe and the rest of the team. The place is brand new with very tastefully decorated lodges. The view on Lake Kivu is amazing and the food delicious (the best we had so far in Rwanda!). The eco and community aspects of this project are a strong plus. Lots of activities to do. Once the swimming pool will be ready, this will truly be a little paradise. Getting there by boat from Gisenyi or Kibuye is the best way to get there.

    Nice garden. Comfy restaurant area. Close to the beach and amazing view. Good variety of food. Hutts are nice. They did a Easter bunny challenge for kids, which was cute.

    The hotel was beautiful and we loved the breakfast on the rooftop where the views were incredible and the food was delicious and so fresh 😍😍 Every member of the staff was so friendly and polite and they could not do enough for us! We travelled with a 3 month old baby and they were so accommodating! Thank you for everything we will be back!!

    really beautiful place. Has a lot of character with an incredible garden, and the safari tents are very interesting to stay in. Has an AMAZING view of the lake kivu too, which is pretty special when combined with the garden. Awesome shop with lots of local crafts with proceeds funding projects to help disadvantaged local kids and women in period poverty. Nice open restaurant/bar area, with surprisingly good food and breakfast. Had the nicest shower view I've ever had. Good tours with Koffi, who was a very friendly guide.

    The balcony was nice and the view of the lake was great. The buffet breakfast has a lot of options and was tasty. The dinner buffet was quite overpriced ($30/adult) but you can order a la carte meals from the menu for a reasonable price. It was nice to have direct access to the lake and a bit of sand to enjoy. I was traveling with 2 young kids and enjoyed having a playground on the property. The location is good and you can walk to some nearby restaurants.
