Guest Reviews

• Andrés (8/5): - Las cenas estaban muy buenas y a buèn precio. El trato de Pascalin y el resto del personal, fuè muy atento y agradable. El wifi funcionaba bien.Agua caliente en la ducha y a muy buena presión. La habitación era amplia y la cama cómoda y grande. La ubicación,estaba muy alejada del centro haciendo imprescindible los servicios de una moto-taxi,tanto para salir cómo para regresar del alojamiento.Además,el último tramo era muy malo.Un camino de tierra,baches y piedras. La ubicación es engañosa en la información de Booking.No apto para personas con movilidad reducida.
• Travis (9/5): - Friendly staff, great facility and wonderful view. The property has many spaces for guest to relax at. Comfortable bed and hot shower. WiFi was out while we were there.
• Nasrodin OSMAN (1/5): - two far from the city mosquito
• Liesbeth (8/5): -
• Nadezhda (10/5): Сп - Милый теплый прием, вкусная домашняя кухня , возможность оплатить все по карте Все было хорошо , даже короткое отключение света не испортило впечатления
• Virginia (10/5): Calming, restorative and relaxing. - The property is in a quiet place far enough from the street for not to hear the car and traffic, it has a beautiful place with nice sofas and tables to relax with the view on the fields and the city. The property is big and the rooms are clean. Nothing, I really appreciated everything
• Ricardo (7/5): Affordable hotel - Views Nice staff, friendly and willing Electricity goes on/off in the city, nothing the hotel can do apart of connecting a generator
• Priscilla (10/5): - L'hotel est bien décoré et bien construit avec de multiples terrasses donnant vue sur la campagne. C'est bien indiqué et on trouve facilement son chemin. Un super moment passé autour du feu de camp, en attendant notre dîner, qui était délicieux! Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Dommage que le bar n'ait pas un meilleur choix de boissons alcoolisées. Pas de vin au verre (obligé d'acheter toute une bouteille), pas de cocktails. Seulement du Gin (également à la bouteille) ou des cannettes de vodka/red bull.
• Martin (8/5): Good choice in Muhanga - Very friendly employees, nice view to a green valley/agricultural areas, WIFI worked, included breakfast was good. We did not get the family room we booked, they offered us a smaller room.
• Morten (10/5): En oase tæt på det lokale liv. - Skønt hotel. God mad og skønne terrasser med fin udsigt. Gode cykler, som man kan leje billigt. Absolut value for money. Ligger i et lokalområde, tæt på det lokale liv. Alt var godt.
• Vervelde (9/5): -
• Dominika (9/5): - A wonderful stay in the heart of the village with local life all around, a beautiful terrace with a view, spacious rooms. Dinner by the fire. Very attentive staff and owner.
• Blandine (8/5): Très bon accueil dans l'établissement avec un personnel attentif. - Très bon accueil dans l'établissement avec un personnel attentif. Repas très copieux. Vue sur une petite vallée. Au calme - Parking en extérieur.
• Peter (9/5): Excellent guest house, best in Rwanda - Friendly and helpful staff, quiet location.
• Stefan (10/5): A magical place - Idembe Heritage is a magical place surrounded by beautiful nature. We really felt at home, sitting at the bonfire, eating delicious Idembe rice and exploring the fields of the local farmers. The Heritage has a rustic charm, simple, but beautiful decorated and very cozy. And all the staff is just incredibly friendly and nice. I loved every minute of my stay.
• Pascal (8/5): -
• Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Benjamin was the best host and the seating outside is lovely.
• Jean-philippe (9/5): Very nice stay with a very nice view on the valley. - Very peaceful place with wonderful view on the valley. Nice staff. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Very good place to stay in Muhanga.
• Antonius (9/5): Superb - Special place near the wetlands. Nice sounds of frogs in the evening. Zero traffic noise.
• Gaelle (9/5): Superb -
• Gaelle (9/5): This is a new hidden gem, I hope others will enjoy as much as we did. - The hotel itself is lovely and the views fantastic. You can choose to sit at different terraces of your choice. My son and I enjoyed the upper terrace with incredible views into the valley, where we could watch people in their fields and children on their daily task of fetching water (I had such fun one late afternoon with a group of locals as we laughed and tried to exchanges by the water source). Not far down the path is a church and a school , where we could sometimes hear beautiful singing. Breakfast was delicious and very large and generous, with fresh fruit ,coffee, and a list of other things to choose from such as omelets and pancakes/ crepes. The chef has delicious specialties and the place is known for its food and a place to gather with friends. The most kind young man, Benjamin, made us feel so at home and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. In the evenings they even have a fire in the courtyard that adds to the already warm ambiance. As we left to get our bus after 4 relaxing days, the owner saw us and gave us a ride in his car all the way to Kigali. We had very meaningful and interesting conversation the 2 hours into Kigali. I would absolutely love to go back again! Gaelle Harris There is nothing I did not like, just that I wish we would have stayed longer.
