Guest Reviews
- Majali (9/5): - I enjoyed the fresh food. Excellent hospitality and strong internet connection. The staff was friendly and welcoming. It was an absolute delite to be a guest.
- Lilas (1/5): -
- kaminy (6/5): -
- Ettah (8/5): Good - Excellent There were days without power from the main grid that affected Wifi
- Irankunda (5/5): -
- Warda (8/5): All in all everything was good - Service & location We book for two but breakfast was given for one,saying it’s per room i find it very wired
- Haluk Adil (10/5): -
- JOAQUIM MIQUEL (8/5): - Els treballadors, tant el noi de la recepció, com els dos nois que es fan càrrec de la neteja d'habitacions, de preparar l'esmorzar, de fer el manteniment... són perdones excepcionals i molt atents. L'habitació molt correcte. Potser s'hauria de modificar l'anunci de les habitacions, doncs les fotos poden ser enganyoses. Jo havia llogat una habitació que incloïa cuina i menjador, com apartament, i un cop vaig arribar em varen dir que pel preu que pagava em tocava uba habitació simple.
- Derick (10/5): - Awesome place and people
- Billy (10/5): - C'était intéressant avec un personnel gentil, serviable, disponible, C'était une tres belle experience a Bujumbura
- oyoo (4/5): -
- Laurence (5/5): - they were expecting me when I arrived
I had also received communication in the days before I arrived
It was very close to the conference centre I was visiting.
There is air conditioning and a mosquito net.
The bed was fairly comfortable.
It was quiet and peaceful.
It is very cheap. For the price it was fine. The power was regularly off, and they were unable to turn on the generator at times.
There was normally no hot water so I had a cold shower most days
My bathroom has a drainage issue and there was always a pool of water on the floor.
The room didn't really match the description of what I has booked - I was expecting more facilities to use.
- Munkhtselmeg (10/5): - Manager Marcus is nice guy and helpful Nothing
- Jacob (9/5): - Fast wifi, friendly staff. Marcus and his friend can arrange transport, tour of the city, money exchange, pick up and drop off from the airport etc.
Save area. Highly recommended.
- Willem Herman Berry (9/5): -
- Bunny (5/5): - The stuff is very receptive and friendly The fact that airport shuttle is not all free as stated and was inconvenienced at the last moment on my way to the airport. Information was concealed until the last moment. Secondly my room had a broken chair and I don't know why it was left there, Almost had an accident from it.
- Mounde (9/5): -
- Andrew Kajeguka (10/5): -
- Sean (10/5): Exceptional - I am very happy that I stayed here in my very short time in Burundi. The manager helped me throughout my stay and allowed me to see aspects of Burundi I would not have without him. A bit further from town but still walkable.
- Yuri (9/5): Superb -
- Ngenzebuhoro (7/5): My stay was good but there is a need of improvement regarding the logistics - The stuff are kind and it was clean The language barrier and organization needs a bit of improvement
- Juma (10/5): I had a wonderful stayed wish when I get back I can stay there again - The environment so quiet and people are friendly. Nothing is everything was perfect
- Gideon (10/5): Fantastic. I will recommend this facility anytime - Breakfast was awesome! None
- Sharma (8/5): Very good - Mark is quick and accessible throughout the day. He can help with all aspects around the stay including money exchange, cab bookings etc. The room was good but there are shared spaces like the kitchen and living room. The apartment has most amenities but carry a mosquito spray.
- Isaac (8/5): Value for money!! - Clean and quiet. Value for money. Breakfast could be better
- Rayford (7/5): Good -
- Robert (8/5): Very good -
- Gitukui (10/5): Exceptional - Mark the manager was good very good and very caring to the visitors 💯
Felix was a good chef i liked him .
The housekeepers dida good job Electricity is the only problem
Mosquitos that was a challenge
- Justin (9/5): Nice stay. - Clean, beautiful and affordable prices. Nothing
- Samuel (7/5): It was comfortable within expectations - Cleanliness was very good
Breakfast was good though missed some days
Receptionist was on and off Lunch and Dinner was not within the premises
Road to the place was not tarmac
- Raphael (9/5): Superb - Staff and room really nice A bit expensive for Bujumbura
- Simon (7/5): Ok and value for money - The breakfast always consisted of fruit, toast, egg, and tea. It was okay. Maybe they should have more variety in future. One of the days, the kitchen was locked through the night and I couldn´t fix a cup of coffee. They need to make the kitchen available all the time.
- Tiede (10/5): 💯 satisfaction I will definitely recommend it ! 😜 - The availability of staff amazed me the most. Mr Mark the manager and the entire staff was made of kind and friendly person. Everything was fine and I appreciate the fact that they have an alternative way to provide energy in case of electricity outages
- Veronica (9/5): Memorable - Breakfast was good and the location is also good though it’s not close to downtown
Also Marcus is really a nice guy
He is very supportive and he deserve to be the manager Everything is okay the only problem is the electricity goes off and on but that’s not their fault
But there’s a generator so there’s nothing to worry
- Nyambane (9/5): Superb -
- Christopher (6/5): Not a bad place to stay in Bujumbura - Good air-conditioning, big room with a bed, armchair, table and fridge. Nothing else. For the price it is not a bad deal. Taxi into the Centre is BIF 10,000. The free airport shuttle is a Scam, I had to pay a taxi US$20 even after I was assured that I would be picked up. Strangely there just happened to be a taxi there that knew where I was going! The bathroom gets flooded when you have a shower. The first 2 days I had hot water, the second 2 days no hot water. Daily Power failures which means the air-conditioning goes off. Breakfast is an omelette, stale bread and fruit. You have to walk a kilometre to go to a supermarket or restaurant.
- Milan (7/5): Budget place with decent facilities and very friendly owner. - Friendly and helpful owner. Helped me to arrange taxi to airport.
Clean and nice room.
Good neighborhood, quiet, not too far from city center
Decent price No warm water in bathroom
Many hours without electricity
Wifi very unstable and slow (although one can buy a Sim card with data very cheaply, anywhere in town)
Many mosquitos in the hotel
- Ruth (10/5): Everything was good and met my expectations. Manager made sure my stay was good. Definitely recommen - The staff is great. They make sure your stay is good. The manager was above and beyond to make sure I was okay.
- Moussa (10/5): The city block is excellent - The property manager is very kind he even came to pick me up at the airport
The manager mark is a good man Every thing was good for me
- Charity (8/5): Very good - Manager Mark was very good he made me love the place more...I will come back Electricity goes of 6times a day that was very very bad..and u should have a swimming pool the place is very hot...
- Ashura (10/5): Exceptional -
- Makunike (7/5): Good -
- Patrick (8/5): Very good - I like their customer service Everything was perfect
- Ahmed (8/5): Very good - Truly it was very nice stay .. calm and peaceful.
The people of the apartment were friendly and helpful.
God bless you all Breakfast
- Polline (7/5): Good -
- Joel (3/5): Poor - My Bose Headphone has gone missing from the apartment. I have looked everywhere and I am sure that someone from the apartment has taken it. I have tried to contact the owner of the property, but they have informed me that they did not find the headphone.
- Yared (7/5): Good - Payment Method:
Unfortunately, I was unable to use my card for payment as they lacked a point-of-sale (POS) machine. Consequently, we had to pay in cash, specifically in Dollars.
Airport Shuttle:
Although it was expected that the apartment would handle the transportation costs to the airport, there was an unexpected charge of 50,000 in local currency upon arrival at the airport. This fee was not pre-discussed, and the apartment manager, Mark, applied this charge to me which he did on purpose.
- Dorine (8/5): VALUE FOR MONEY IN BUJUMBURA - The landscaping outside, pictures exactly as they are on the site. Breakfast can be improved
- Abedi (8/5): Very good -
- Ngwang (9/5): Superb -
- Arrot (10/5): Exceptional - We enjoyed our stay very much...
Value for money...
Highly recommend Nothing
- Massimo (9/5): Superb - The property is as listed. The location appearing on booking.com is correct. The house is fenced and there is security.
The property manager Mark is a lovely guy who will always try to help you. wifi works well. The location is not the best and you will probably need them to call you a taxi to go to the centre.
Hot water was not always available.
- Mctony (8/5): Very good -
- Eric (4/5): Good expience and I will recommand. - The building is fine but in a hot country like Burundi, I was expecting an AC or Fan as it stated in the properly facilities list. It was a little bit noisy because of the working sites around it and orphanage next to it but everything was fine. The room was clean, staff were friendly, kind and helpful.
- Bl (10/5): Exceptional -
- Winnie (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect and the people were so friendly. I'm staying anytime I visit Burundi again. Cheers.
- Palesa (10/5): Exceptional - Safe and quiet place. The breeze. The gym The internet connection is not that good.
