“A feast for the eyes”
+The lodge is incredibly located at the tip of a peninsula, with beautiful unobstructed views onto the Lake Kivu islands. It’s very peaceful. The owners, Aisha and Ivan, welcome you as into their home and the staff are all lovely (shout out to Napoleon and Emmanuel!) The vesper tour is a particularly cool addition to your stay, and the kayaks are also a great way of exploring the surroundings.

“A warm and heartfelt stay at Umurobyi Lodge from the owners’ attentive welcome and delicious full-”
+I spent two wonderful nights at Umurobyi Lodge in Kibuye and was deeply impressed from the very first moment. The owners gave me such a warm and genuine welcom. Their attention to every detail made my stay truly special. The full-board arrangement was perfect, with delicious meals carefully prepared and beautifully presented each day. The lodge itself is majestic yet cozy, offering a touch of luxury within a warm, family-style atmosphere. It truly feels like a home away from home. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking (Lake Kivu shimmering at sunrise, swimming cows along the shore, and the mysterious beauty of Bat Island nearby). A big thank-you to the entire team for making my stay unforgettable. I cannot wait to return!

“Looking for peace, tranquility and great food…this is the place to be.”
+Nice, quiet property with lake view and a beautiful garden. A great place if you are looking for peace and tranquility.
−Driving from the capital to the hotel is a challenge. Next time, will probably take a helicopter.

“A luxury stay in an exceptional setting”
+Unique location and building, large bedrooms, very good cuisine and friendly staff. Perfect for a relaxing stay.
−Prices are definitely at the very top end for Rwanda. With hindsight we realised there are other hotels with exceptional locations in this beautiful country, at softer prices.
