The location is excellent! Right on the lake with great outdoor seating to enjoy the sounds of the lake. The staff were delightful, Jules in particular. Food was yummy, although the price was quite high. I had seen a few reviews about it not being clean - we didn’t find this at all. I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are small but quaint and unique.

The location is quite nice, close to the lake but it’s about 7km to the city and 5km to Rubavu Beach. Therefore it’s a quiet area but good for relaxing. The lodge itself is nicely built and has nice views to the lake. It is not lakefront though. The food at the restaurant was very good and the staff is friendly.

Incredibly friendly and courteous staff. The location is spectacular and at the same time very quiet. You are a good bit outside of Gisenyi. The view of Lake Kivu is great. The food was very delicious and always freshly prepared. There are also fresh fruit and the associated fresh fruit juices.

Lovely location. I enjoyed taking walks on the steep stone-paved sidewalks. In the evening I was able to enjoy two cold beer drinks while talking to friends around a nice fire pit. The open flames added to the relaxation and peace of the well-landscaped gardens.
