Osei-Adu (10/5): -
Pauline (10/5): We had a great stay and the hosts and staff were very welcoming and made our stay unforgettable. We already agreed that - The breathtaking views, the room, the very warm hospitality, the food, the staff, everything was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay!! The pictures and reality are a match, the place is as beautiful as advertised. Nothing, the lodge is a 10/10, I would highly recommend!
Rambaud (10/5): -
Louise (10/5): - Exceptionel view, service and food. Highly recommendable!! Everything was perfect
Victor (10/5): An exceptional stay marked by warm hospitality, sportless comfort and thoughtful details that made every moment memorab - I especially appreciated the attentive staff, and the clean and comfortable rooms. None
Christian (10/5): - Hier kann man nur 10 Punkte vergeben! Wahnsinns Anlage und super nette Gastgeber, man hat sich aber der ersten Minute wie ein familiärer Gast gefühlt! Nichts
Lubega (10/5): Phenomenal excellent...i mean everything was amazing - Everything 😭😩 Nothing to be honest
Frédéric Jacques (10/5): 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!
Ahmed Mohamed Amur (10/5): 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.
Stefanie (10/5): - Tolle Lage, sehr freundliches Personal
Nicolas (9/5): 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.
Primrose (9/5): We had a wonderful stay and seriously considered extending by another night - The views from every single part of the property were gorgeous. The service was extremely tailored and the food was excellent. The host Joelle was a highlight and always a made sure our every need was met. The views from the room are spectacular and there’s lots of activities you can do in and around the property Being that we were in nature, there were a few bugs that came into the room but there’s nothing the lodge can do about that! We are in nature!
Gabriela (10/5): Most beautiful place for a wonderful holiday - We had an exceptional wonderful stay at Umurobyio Lodge. It's the perfect place to unwind and immerse oneself in the beautiful nature of Rwanda. The Lodge offers everything one would need for an unforgettable holiday.The scenic views from all angles over Lake Kivu are breathtaking. The staff were incredibly attentive, always helpful and friendly, catering to our needs with a warm smile. The hospitality of the owners and the whole team made us feel truly welcome. The food was a highlight - fresh, delicious, and healthy, a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Our room was spotless, clean, and very comfortable, complete with a spacious balcony offering a fantastic view over the lake. We had a wonderful experience and we can only recommend the Lodge for a perfect holiday.

Gatare (10/5): Exceptional - I’ve stayed at many places in Rwanda but this by far is the best. It’s obviously on the pricey side but it was worth every cent. The food was amazing, the views from every angle were incredible and the staff really made you feel welcomed and well taken care of. I will definitely coming back.
Theresia (10/5): Memorable - Everything was amazing. We received an exceptional welcome, the food was healthy and delicious, and we got all the assistance we needed for touring. My kids loved the lodge and all the activities they experienced, including cruising on Lake Kivu, swimming, enjoying the fishermen experience, and of course, playing cards. We had an unforgettable time. The owners, Aicha and Ivan, are incredibly kind and caring. It was a wonderful vacation. Umurobyi is a peaceful and quiet place - with a great view, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. None
Tatevik (10/5): Exceptional - A Truly Unforgettable Gem on Lake Kivu, Perfection in Every Detail. From the moment we arrived, this extraordinary hotel exceeded every expectation. The views of Lake Kivu are nothing short of breathtaking, imagine waking up to shimmering waters right from your bed... **Jean**, the culinary maestro, crafts dishes that are nothing short of divine. His creativity and willingness to accommodate special requests turned every meal into a personalized celebration. Dining here isn’t just about the food (though it’s *that* good); it’s an experience. Our best accommodation in Rwanda, hands down. We’re already dreaming of our return to this slice of paradise. Thank you for memories we’ll cherish forever! Flawless in every way, we loved it all!
Melinda (10/5): One of the best places we’ve stayed in the world! - The views are immaculate! The heart and soul is truly the staff. Joelle, the manager, is an absolute a gem! The food is delicious, Jean is an incredible chef who goes out of his way to accommodate special requests and comes out and helps make your dining experience special. There’s truly nothing like this property. It’s a home they turned into a hotel and it’s so intimate. We will definitely be back!! N/A
June (10/5): As written above - Simply the best. We loved the modern fresh architecture. Stunning views from beautiful rooms with air conditioning and lovely linens. If you like to swim, the lake water is beautiful and the pool is lovely. Kayaks are new and nice. We went out with the local fisherman one night which the hotel arranged and it was so interesting and fun. Lovely area to walk outside the property. Wonderful meals prepared and served when requested with grace and style. The entire staff, without exception, is friendly, helpful and attentive. Simply the best! Nothing
Tomas (10/5): Exceptional - Best accommodation during our entire trip to Rwanda - an amazingly large room with an unbeatable view of Lake Kivu right from the bed. Absolute cleanliness everywhere. Staff great, arranged all possible excursions for us around the area, including fishing with local fishermen. The food was absolutely top notch. Possibility to use the kayaks for free. Higher price, which is understandable with such quality.
