Guest Reviews
- Ryan (10/5): -
- Valen (10/5): - It is a lovely property, quiet, safe and friendly staff.
- TaniaN13 (8/5): A lush garden hideaway in Kigali - Very pretty garden and cute decor. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing and very generous! It is located a bit out of the way and I found the facilities in the self-help kitchen are quite old.
- CARVELLI (10/5): - Tout est super, la qualité de l'hébergement, la terrasse, le petit-déjeuner. Position un tout petit peu excentrée, mais ce n'est pas un réel problème
- David (8/5): Yam I was a comfortable and clean place to stay with a very friendly staff. - Budget friendly and clean
- Uzochukwu Kingsley (10/5): - Friendly staff, good chef
- Lena (9/5): Excellent - Cozy, friendly staff, great breakfast, good location, the price
- Lena (9/5): Excellent - Location, friendly staff, amazing breakfast, the price
- Lisa (9/5): Home-like guest house with personality and charm - Yambi Guest House has rustic charm and lots of personality. The staff went out of their way to assist us, and the breakfast was enormous. Our room was large and comfortable. Kigali is a bit spread out, but we were able to get most places we wanted to go within 30 minutes by taxi. We were very satisfied.
- Richard (10/5): -
- Ellen (10/5): - Gezelligheid en personeel Vaak v kamer moeten veranderen
- George (7/5): A nice space with too many drawbacks to be recommended - Really nice common area, comfortable to sit and hang out by yourself or socializing with others. Coffee was pretty good, and breakfast is also good. Several beer options available from an "honor system" bar. Staff was extremely polite and helpful. Good mosquito net for the bed. Location is terrible - nothing is convenient. Be ready to either spend a lot of time in the guest house, be comfortable riding all around the city on the back of a moto-taxi, or spending $8-15 round trip on regular car taxis. Wifi was inconsistent - sometimes pretty good, sometimes terrible. Not something you can rely on if you need to get work done. Rooms do not block out any sound at all, you can hear everything outside the room (and even from the rooms next to you) very clearly. This is especially a problem when people were frequently waking up early for tours or in some cases, the people who work there starting their day. Very difficult to get good sleep. Dinner portions were quite inconsistent. I ate there twice (because nothing else is easy to get to). The first night, it was so much food I couldn't finish it. The second night, it was less than half the portion and I was still hungry afterward. Both times, the food was decent but nothing special. Too expensive for what you get.
- Ellen (10/5): Heerlijke uitvalsbasis -
- Luke (10/5): -
- Joy (6/5): Was okay and had friendly staff..i loved the food - Food was really good the bed sheets and no sealed water in the rooms
- Antonio (10/5): -
- Nadia (8/5): - Quite quiet when I visited with not many guests so didn't experience a sociable side but the staff were very friendly and the bed very comfortable
- Grace (10/5): Exceptional - A perfect guesthouse in Kigali. Please don't go elsewhere. I love everything about Yambi guesthouse. All the staff are exceptionally good. I checked in late and they allowed me. After I checked out they still allowed me to stay at the reception for a good 4 hours before the arrival of my host. The receptionist, Angel by name, is an Angel indeed. She has good customer relations. Very polite and helpful. The Chef, Patrick and his team in the kitchen are the best too. Their breakfasts were great. Expect me back soon 😀 Thank you.🙏 As a matter of fact I like everything about this guesthouse.
- Antonio (9/5): -
- tammy (10/5): This is a great place to stay when in Kigali - We stayed here at the beginning and end of our trip to Rwanda and it was amazing both times. there is a relaxed vibe to the place that makes you comfortable the minute that you walk in. Staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean. we had a pre booked dinner and breakfast and the food was plentiful and really good. Also the coffee in the morning was really good za Nothing
- Astrid (7/5): -
- Flavia (10/5): - Lovely place with really good (free) wifi everywhere. Super cosy place and warm atmosphere and the people are incredibly friendly. Really enjoyed our time. Nothing!
- Stanislav (9/5): -
- Adaku (10/5): Amazing - The aesthetics of this place is amazing . From the art works , the lounge area , to the dormitory everything was good. None
- Frederic (10/5): Aanrader in Rwandeese stijl - Mooie warme ontvangst in een rustige buurt . Fantastisch ontbijt
- Philipp (7/5): Guter Aufenthalt - Nette Gemeinschafts- und Bar-Area. Freundliches und unterstützendes Personal. Privatzimmer und privates Badezimmer waren für uns absolut in Ordnung. Großes Lob an den Fahrer aus der Unterkunft, der uns trotz höllischem Verkehr (aufgrund des Fahrradrennens in Kigali) gut und rechtzeitig zum Flughafen gebracht hat. Wir hätte hierfür lieber mehr Zeit einplanen sollen, der Kerl hat jedoch alles gegeben! Das Moskitonetz am Himmelbett war leider nicht richtig dimensioniert, man hätte an allen Ecken größere Lücken. Zum Glück hatten wir ein eigenes Netz dabei, das war nämlich absolut notwendig, da es hier viele Moskitos gab.

- Lisa (9/5): Great stay in Kigali with incredible breakfast - The team are amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast & food is so delicious and plenty to choose from. They were able to cater for vegetarian/ vegan no problem. The beds are really comfortable It’s just a little out from the city so transport is needed.
- Dominika (9/5): - Friendly and helpful staff, a lovely terrace for chilling out ... cozy rooms... good coffee. Breakfast was quite expensive
- Laurent (10/5): - The staff is welcoming and helpful. The garden is great and the food nice. The neighborhood is really nice with its cobble streets. A peaceful place on the slope of a hill.
- Scott (9/5): Great stay in Kigali - Enjoyed our two nights at Yambi. Large room, good breakfast and dinner, very helpful staff. The garden area is a great space to hang out or have a drink with a nice mix of seating. Photos on Booking are accurate but make the space seem brighter. Our room was darker but definitely not a problem.
- Ana (10/5): Exceptional - They picked us up at the airport in the middle of the night. The communication was perfect. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. They made us great coffee. The receptionists and other staff were very kind and helpful.
- Lise-laure (10/5): Small heaven in the city - Beautiful, good, confortable, warm and friendly. We stayed with my husband in a room with king size bed and had diner the 2 days here. The hotel team is so kind and the breakfast is huge and very good. You can chill and eat in the garden. African style decoration is made with heart. Thank you for everything!!! Nothing

- Phil (10/5): - Regularly stay here, it’s great distance from the center of kigali, easy to get to, comfortable
- Dana (8/5): Excellent value for money- comfortable & chill! - A beautiful space, tucked away in a peaceful area. So many places to sit and relax. Excellent food and very comfortable rooms. The rooms weren’t very quiet- you could very easily hear conversations in the next room.
- Romi (9/5): Superb - Beautiful little boutique guesthouse - very relaxed common areas, plenty of space in twin room and on request dinner. Excellent helpful service from staff. Our room backed onto the street and sadly loud talking in the early hours of the morning which kept us up. But they can't help that.
- Francesca (9/5): Superb - I liked this guesthouse a lot, the decoration, the situation (very calm area and nice garden to relax) and especially the delicious food (excellent breakfast) and you can order dinner as well (very healthy).
- Charles (10/5): Fantastic place and great staff. - Excellent spot and team.

If you are looking for a budget friendly, home like feel for your stay in Kigali we highly recommend Yambi house. Ps Ask them to make you African tea you won’t regret it! You can hear noise from outside, so if you are a light sleeper this may bother you
- Emma (7/5): Good -
- Salim (8/5): Very good -
- Rafia (9/5): we will return - really nice people, very good breakfast well, a pool would have been nice, but we knew beforehand that there wasn't one, so it was our own choice
- Graham (8/5): Very good -
- Silvan (7/5): Very nice and cool hostel! Would stay here again. - It‘s a little oasis with a beautiful garden and lovely, helpful staff. Nice big rooms. A little far from some of the top attractions, but Kigali doesnt have a real center anyway and you get anywhere quickly and cheap by mototaxi. They charge money for every little extra, so if you add all up the price is close to some very fancy hotels.
- Talvi (10/5): Warm welcome, cozy stay, and exceptional breakfast - From the moment we checked in, we felt welcomed. The location is excellent, the guesthouse is absolutely lovely and cozy, and the breakfast is exceptional. We loved it! Nothing to add here.
- Nicole (9/5): Warm welcome to a home away from home in Kigali. - Excellent service, friendly welcome, great food, lovely facilities No mosquito netting on one bed resulted in significant bites on one of our group.
- Kerry (9/5): Great stay in Kigali - The guesthouse was lovely. My room was large and comfortable and had a mosquito net which is required as the some of the room windows did not have glass so mosquitos can easily enter your room, along with lizards and other little guests. The communal areas were lovely and relaxing, the breakfast was great and there was plenty of food. It was a little confusing the whole food and drink situation with the bar being a help yourself and then register wat you had taken so that you can be charged. Also the breakfast situation was a little confusing so I wasn't sure what I could and couldn't have but its OK. Great location in the quieter side of Kigali, easily reached by moto taxi. My room was right next to the kitchen/laundry so was a little noisy early in the morning.
- Ana (9/5): Superb - The garden is very biutiful and at the night you can see the lights from the city.
- Sampson (10/5): Exceptional -
- Naadia (9/5): Aesthetic hotel with beautiful garden - Beautiful eclectic property. Well presented. Nothing
- Freya (6/5): Pleasant - Beautiful site, lovely view and garden No windows in bedroom, staff were very poor, sadly. Didn't help to get taxis or book tours. Had a "can't do" attitude :/ very disappointing. Also, they cannot provide what they say on their website. Had no pub crawl or nightclub crawl available, despite claiming it as one of their strengths. "The owner is a well travelled person who can provide tours" - no evidence of that whatsoever. Very disappointing. Food from the restaurant took 2 hours, nd they had almost nothing on the menu.
- Mastaliev (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best places I’ve ever been to
- Axelle (5/5): Passable - Rooms are specious , remarquably clean, and the staff is truly welcoming and supportive. I truly appreciated. Absence of natural light in my room (10), due to where it was located, I didn't like it. Also, Compared to medium price for bed and breakfast hostels in Kigali, the breakfast forfait is a little bit high.
- Kirsty (10/5): Exceptional - The manager and staff were amazing . The breakfasts were absolutely amazing and the chef was so lovely. We did a gorilla tour through yambi and it was absolutely fantastic our guide was amazing and hewas such good fun and helpful . I highly recommend the guesthouse and the tour with gad was amazing ! Nothing
- Hannah (10/5): Fantastic, we loved it. - We stayed at Yambi Guesthouse for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. The rooms are super cute and comfortable. The food is fantastic, especially breakfast which is filling and delicious. The addition of a barista in the mornings is a great touch and my partner said it’s the best coffee he’s ever had. All the staff are lovely and went out of their way to help us where we needed. We loved the garden area which was a nice place to relax and unwind after a day exploring. Easy to get a transport into the city, good wifi and a reasonably priced laundry service. Would highly recommend staying here and would stay again in a heartbeat upon returning to Rwanda. Nothing.
- Veronika (10/5): Exceptional - I truly enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the hotel. It is serene and surrounded by greenery. I stayed in a single room, and everything was very nice, clean, and had a pleasant scent. The staff were incredibly helpful and exceptionally kind to me. The breakfast was outstanding. The next time I’m in Kigali, I will definitely choose this hotel again
- Chris (8/5): Very good -
- Anne (8/5): Great value stay with calming garden. - The garden, fridge honesty system, meals and rooms Only thing was the mosquito net which had a hole in it
- Mandy (10/5): Final night in Africa, quiet and comfortable - Excellent facilities, great layout, very homely feel to it all
- Julian (1/5): Bad - It‘s clean and the garden is beautiful. The umuboss is a fake boss. He is very mean to his staff and wants to be a rich man, but doesn‘t provide good quality services or food.
- Jim (10/5): Peaceful Oasis - I stayed in 5 different low to mid budget guesthouses in Kigali and this was hands down the best! Like an immersive, peaceful oasis.with all the trees. It made me forget there were neighboring houses. This was exactly what I was looking for after 2 weeks of new impressions, much commotion and several hikes in the north of the country In addition, the owner and all staff are very welcoming and kind The location might not be the closest to the city or the stadiums, but you do find some supermarkets and very charismatic shops ran by locals in the area (definitely support them!) - just don't let anyone try to charge you 1k RwF for an avocado ;) Laundry was 10$, still do-able and in line with the laundry mats nearby The food the chef made was incredibly delicious The cleaning lady was immaculate, very considerate and I appreciated the complimentary water refill each day! All in all - amazing The only downside is that sadly their food menu is very pricey. It was as if I never left Amsterdam which was quite startling considering the actual price of raw ingredients in Rwanda So I ended up getting avocados, some bread and samosas from the local shops, basically DIYing my way around breakfast & lunch for over a week, probably saved me 100USD and I could eat in the garden, no problem! Oh yea, and I think the website states that there's an open kitchen, but there's not (just as booking correctly states)
- Alberto (10/5): Great stay at Yambi Guest House - Everything.
- Chris (9/5): Amazing - Superb! Gad and all the other staff were all lovely and really helpful. Thanks for helping us book football tickets and to the chefs for delicious and healthy breakfasts. Love the garden also - gorgeous plants. Would definitely stay here again when I return to Kigali
- Daniel (9/5): Superb -
- Sophia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dorota (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gina (9/5): Lovely place - It’s located in a quiet neighbourhood about 15mins by moto-taxi from the central parts of Kigali. I loved the serene setting and greenery of the guesthouse. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the food is good and my room was comfortable. The wifi also worked well. Add the room had some small windows which were covered with netting against mosquitoes but not with glass, whatever noise is made on the outside (e.g., other guests pulling their trolleys over the cobbled pathway early in the morning) or inside of the room can easy be heard. So bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper and be aware that there’s limited privacy as others can overhear conversations you’re having in the room quite easily.
- Federico (10/5): Exceptional - Decoration breakfast Camera buia
- Sarah (8/5): Very good - Excellent stay. The breakfast is amazing. Loverly garden. Going to the centre is very easy with motortaxi or taxi. Nothing.
- Islammiyyah (8/5): Very good -
- Dorota (10/5): Beautiful guesthouse with great services - Amazing staff, the place is very clean, wifi reliable, location is safe. The food was very good as well. Highly recommended 👌
- Norine (9/5): Friendly, safe and secure place to stay in Kigali. A home away from home. - The cook was very good. A lot of homemade Rwandan dishes. The lattes with the large breakfast options and fresh fruits. The decor of the place was lovely and a large garden with soft sits and swing. The private double bedroom was clean and comfortable. There was free drinkable water. Secure parking and good laundry facilities. Little bit far from centre if you don’t have a car but we did.
- Anna (8/5): A comfy, lovely base in the outskirts of Kigali. - A perfect place away from the hustle and bustle of the main city, beautifully appointed rooms - really beautifully decorated with fab bathrooms - and eating area - fantastic food, an honesty bar and easy access to the city with mototaxis. Highly recommend for ease and enjoyment! We did not find the staff all that forthcoming in helping assist us with onwards plans - for example, we asked how we could get to Nyungwe Forest and the short response was ‘Don’t - it’s too difficult.’ I found this at odds with the place as this is obviously a travellers haven!
- Kristell (8/5): Nice hotel but isolated from the city center - Very stylish and enjoyable environment. Big rooms with comfy beds. One of the staff was particularly impolite and unwilling to help. Rooms are dark.
- Constanse (10/5): Awesome stay - highly recommend - Great location. Wonderful set up and staff who were so accommodating. Comfortable rooms. Yummy breakfast and fantastic facilities- would highly recommend
- Daichi (10/5): - Nice staffs and breakfast
