Guest Reviews

• Asani (10/5): Top Notch Experience! - I liked the cleanliness of the property. There was no mosquito even though bed nets were provided, we only used it the first night. The breakfast was wonderful and always on time (thanks to Cynthia and her colleague). The owner and his family were very friendly and accommodating. Once, the hot water stopped running but Jean Claude (the owner) got on top the situation and it was fixed in no time. The sitting room is good but the couches are showing signs of wear and tear. We only cooked once and it was difficult to turn on the gas cooker. We finally figured it out.
• OBINWANNE (8/5): Very nice - Electrifying panoramic view of Kigali from the balconies at night. It's located at the top of a hill. Beds for the shared rooms weren't very comfortable

• Charles (10/5): Absolutely Amazing - I recently got married in Rwanda and hosted some guests from America at this establishment. Let me just say, if you’re planning a wedding or any special event in Rwanda, this is the place to be. The hospitality, the views, and the level of commitment to making your day perfect are just top-notch. Our guests felt incredibly welcome and everything went seamlessly. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a memorable and beautiful experience!”
• Beáta (10/5): An absolutely wonderful stay with breathtaking views, spacious interiors, and incredibly kind host. - We had an amazing time at this place and felt comfortable from the very first moment. The view is absolutely stunning, and the interior is large, bright, and spacious, making it a perfect place to relax. The rooms were very comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Jean Claude was incredibly helpful throughout our entire stay and assisted us with everything we needed during our trip. We truly couldn’t be more grateful and would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Kigali.
• mohammed (10/5): - الموقع جيد والإطلالة رائعة على المدينة. الشقة نظيفة ومرتبة. والفطور ممتاز. مالك الشقة والعاملين فيها تعاملهم رائع جدا. السعر معقول. استمتعنا انا واصدقائي في هذا المكان لا شي
• Brad (10/5): Lovely, peaceful family space. - We love how we are treated well and welcomed like family. The views are beautiful and it’s not too far to the airport. We love that it has screens on windows, mosquito nets, and plenty of drinking water. And the rooms are lovely and spacious. Big, delicious breakfasts too. We like the stairs, but some people may need to note that there are some stairs
• Simona (10/5): This place has a spirit — you can feel it’s owned and cared for with attention and heart - There are quite a few things to love about the High Ground Villa. First of all, communication with the owner was clear, polite, and helpful from the very first moment after I made the reservation. More importantly, both the owner and the staff were genuinely kind, friendly, and supportive. We truly needed that, as we were moving to Kigali for two years with our whole family. Anyone who has gone through such a move knows how much that kind of help means when settling into a new country — and even a new continent in our case. Jean Claude, the owner, went above and beyond our expectations as a host. Lastly, the villa’s location and the breathtaking views over Kigali are just outstanding. The nicely kept garden, colorful flowers, fresh air, peaceful atmosphere, and a touch of surrounding wilderness made it a wonderful place to start our African adventure.
• Axelle (10/5): - Everything was perfect!!
• Mukami (10/5): Best in Rwanda!!!! - We really were made to feel at home immediately we got there...the response was unmatchable.... The view, especially at night is breathtaking.... They were very creative with their breakfasts... To be honest, I would go back to High Ground in a heartbeat...
• Derrick (10/5): Great - Amazing view and incredible hosts! Nothing
• Brad (10/5): A wonderful family or group place - We’ve stayed here before; it’s such a good place for families and groups since its apartment-style accommodations. We love that they have drinking water, mosquito nets, lovely decor, and great food for breakfast. The hosts make us feel like family.
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Jean Claude is an excellent host.
• Emmanuel (9/5): Superb - I like the view from the hotel, especially at night it was amazing, and also the host was relli nice. And the environment was relli clean and very natural. Not relli,
• Sarah (10/5): Excellent villa in Kigali - We had a great stay in Kigali and the owner was extremely helpful.
• Angella (10/5): Awesome - Everything about High ground villa was exceptional, the view was amazing, the breakfast exceeded our expectations as the prepared something different everyday. Already recommending it. Thank you Claude and team
• Haytham (10/5): Simply the best accommodation and host experience in my 30yrs of travels across the world. - Jean Claude and his family at High Ground Villas are genuinely the best hosts and most wonderful people. What a fantastic introduction to Rwanda and its people. The apartments at High Ground Villa are 10/10. Absolutely beautiful decor, the beds are so comfortable and the entire complex is clean and cosy. I honestly can't do justice with words, as to how good High Ground Villas are! Exceeded all of our expectations and more. The location is peaceful with amazing birds eye views of the city below. Cynthia, the maid is brilliant 👏, she cannot do enough for you. The breakfast is full of fresh ripe fruits, omelette and much more. You don't just feel like a customer here, you feel like an old friend and part of this wonderful family. If your considering a stay in Kigali, please do not hesitate to stay at High Ground Villa with Jean Claude! You will love everything about your choice.
• Tea (10/5): An unforgettable stay with breathtaking views, exceptional hospitality, and every comfort! - We absolutely loved our stay at this villa! The location was perfect, offering one of the best views in Kigali, which made every moment special. The property itself was beautifully maintained—spacious, clean, and well decorated, with plenty of room for us to relax and unwind. One of the highlights was the gorgeous balcony, where we could enjoy the views of the city. A huge thank you to Jean Claude, who went above and beyond to ensure we felt like family. His attention to detail and care made a big difference in our experience. He was incredibly helpful throughout our stay, assisting with every request and making us feel so well looked after. The breakfast was another standout feature! It was truly a feast, with a beautifully laid-out spread of fresh fruit, bread, delicious avocado, a perfect omelet, and more. Mornings felt like a treat. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Kigali, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. We’ll definitely be back! There was nothing we didn’t like. Our experience was flawless from start to finish. With Jean Claude as our host, everything exceeded expectations. We couldn't have asked for better hospitality or a more comfortable stay. Truly a 5-star experience!
• Chelsea (10/5): A lovely and comfortable stay for our family of 5 - We loved the apartment we stayed in - so good for our family of 5 (and we didn’t even use all the beds!). The location seems a bit far from the main parts of the city, but our activities were all nearby so we loved the location. And the roads to get there are good. Also it is lovely up there with good views and trees and quiet. The host was very kind and accommodating. Honestly, we didn’t have anything that was a struggle or disappointing to us. There were a couple sets of stairs to get to our apartment, but we were fine using them. If you’re not sure about stairs, check ahead to see if the other rooms have lots of stairs, I only know about ours.
• Hassan (10/5): Great hotel apartment with lovely people. Highly recommended! - Jean Claude and his family are incredibly friendly and helpful. Although I had only booked a small room, they gave me a suite – what a pleasant surprise! My stay was very enjoyable, and I’ve already said that next time I’ll come back with my whole family. Highly recommended!
• Iqbal (10/5): Exceptional - the owners friendly attitude. he is a gem of a guy nothing
• Griet (10/5): Lovely and spacious place - Very nice place Lovely and extremely helpful staff
• Aleksandra (10/5): If you're looking for a place that combines cleanliness, warmth, and fantastic breakfast - that's it - The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable, with attention to detail that made me feel right at home. The host was incredibly welcoming and friendly, always ready with a warm smile and helpful advice on local attractions. I can't find anything.
• Joe (7/5): Good - Friendly host. Spacious rooms. Great breakfast. Cons: very loud at night due to banging metal roof that heats up during the day and cools down at night as well as many dogs barking at night. There were issues with the internet. Beds were uncomfortable because mattress were very saggy. Price around $60/night rather high
• A (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alou (8/5): Very good -
• Lisa (10/5): High Ground Villa feels like you are home! - Great location great views, amazing value. We arrived late and we had zero problems with check-in and assistance with luggage. The owner was great! He was so responsive to our needs and went above and beyond to assist us with travel. Loved the extra touches such as a board with top greetings in both languages AND a yummy breakfast!!! Nothing! Our stay was perfect, a great start to our Africa trip!
• Kerry (10/5): Thank you to Jean-Claude and his team for looking after us. He is an exceptional host and drove us to a lovely restauran - Away from city centre and a beautiful view from atop of the mountain. Nothing
• Tigoh (10/5): Our stay at High Ground Villa was phenomenal. We will like to stay there again - First of all the Warm Hospitality, the Host we make a connection before you get to the property. I thought that was exceptional and caring,Thank you. The view from the property location was amazing. The breakfast, Jean Claude and the family are very welcoming. Thank you for being so attentive and helpful. Me booking longer stay next time 😊
• David (9/5): Fantastic host, great breakfast, and beautiful location with a view. - Spectacular view of Kigali from the balcony of the rooms. Excellent breakfast with amazing fruit, eggs, banana bread, and great coffee and juice. Host was wonderful and always very responsive.
• Collins (10/5): Beautiful experience and thanks to the host Claude he made sure of this - The hospitality by the host,the beautiful views from the balcony and lastly the quietness Nothing so far
• Phionah (10/5): Exceptional - The host is simply exceptional. The villa sits high indeed with a breathtaking view. The breakfast is amazing. The staff are warm and kind. I would surely stay here again and again and recommend it to everyone.
• Mykolas (9/5): Overall, it was pleasurable and nice stay in Kigali, enjoying the views and homemade food ;) - The owner of the place was very friendly and helpful. We had a person who made breakfast for us, and most of the problems were solved. The place has fantastic views and it was nice to stay here. Villas are close to each other, so if someone makes a noise in one villa can disturb others in other villas. In our case, Jean Claude fixed the situation very fast and we could sleep after a long day. Otherwise, in photos, it was four rooms for two doubles and two single travelers. But when we came it was two doubles and one twin room prepared. For the first night, Jean gave one of us a separate apartment! For the second night, we arranged rooms for ourselves (it is good that the group was flexible). It was fine, but next time I would double-check the arrangement of the rooms one more time before coming to High Ground Villas.
• Roman (10/5): The best experience we had in Kigali is our stay here aside from seeing the lions :) - Pastor Ric and I booked this for 2 nights, to our surprise this is also owned by a pastor :) this place has the best of evrything so we decided to extend for one more night. Pastor Jean was so helpful, waited for us until 1am. The balcony has a million dollar view of kigali mountains. Rooms are big and so as the other part of the house. We love it so much and will definitely recommend to our friends and family Nothing
• Yorke (10/5): Lovely staff especially Jean Claude who was so nice and could speak very good English so was a good go to person for all - Beautiful location and garden. Quiet environment and well furnished apartments.
• Doreen (10/5): Exceptional - The rooms were spacious and spotless, with great african décor and clean bed sheets. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a huge variety of options! The staff and host were attentive ,respectful and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. The rooms, apartment and Villa looked exactly like what I saw while making bookings online. The villa is not far from town and is located in quiet. The view especially at night is magical. Beautiful place! Beautiful country!
• Carol (10/5): Exceptional -
• Linda (10/5): Jean Claude is amazing and this is my new home as long as I'm in Kigali - The host is amazing and went out of his way to ensure the arrival was smooth, breakfast was amazing and ready in time and overall just supported our trip even after leaving the Villa. This is our new home away from home. Mi casa su casa Everything was great.
• Gary (7/5): Good -
• Mitchel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (8/5): Very warm and welcoming host. - Tranquility, villa ambiance and the scenery.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chikadibie (10/5): This is easily one of the best host and property I have seen. Jean Claude made our stay memorable. - The view was amazing, the host was very warm and went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable.
• Chelsea (10/5): Incredible views, great hospitality - My group's initial lodging accommodations fail and we scrambled to find somewhere else to stay the same day. I was relieved upon reaching High Ground Villa where the owner greeted us ro this beautiful clean house. The area is super safe with a gatesmen. The **VIEWS** from the Villa look down into the valley, providing incredible views of Kigali. The beds were comfortable, and the water was hot and had strong pressure. The owner also helped us coordinate taxis into the city. The Villa is large, with each bedroom having an ensuite bathroom. Perfect for large groups. Not only was breakfast prepared every morning, but we also arranged lunches and dinners through the host, which were delicious. Highly recommend staying at High Ground Villas for a visit to Kigali!
• Melissa (10/5): A lovely paradise on a hill with a breathtaking sunset view. 10/10 - Excellent view, a great breakfast, and beautiful space. It felt like home. The payment method should be clarified before a guest confirms their stay.
• Lubenson (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed the magic view from High ground villa. The location is excellent, safe and Clean Nothing
• Olivia (10/5): Exceptional - We loved EVERYTHING about our stay. Travelled with a large group and Jean Claude and staff catered to our EVERY need. Highly recommend. Most beautiful views I’ve ever seen in Kigali (and I lived there 15 years) Customer service is impeccable. Thanks for everything Jean Claude! Very highly recommend!!!
• Farzad (9/5): Superb -
• Ife (10/5): Exceptional. - Jean was amazing. The friendliest, and most accommodating host you’ll ever meet. The property was big for our group and we all throughly enjoyed it. None
• Swati (10/5): Hone away from home - Excellent service, host went above and beyond our expectation to make us comfortable. Delicious hot breakfast, lots of fruit, fresh bread, coffee. Jean Claude took care of all our needs. The villas are beautiful, well furnished, kithen with stove and microwave, very appealing design and layout. Beautiful views of the city from the villa. We really enjoyed our stay.
• Moruti (8/5): Excellent stay - The breakfast was not bad it needs a little improvement. Otherwise the accommodation was superb and the view was exquisite. We really enjoyed ourselves and we would not mind to visit again. I will not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. the entrance at the gate, but its understandable because of the set-up and the landscape.
• Yaami (9/5): Superb - It is a lovely property to stay at in a group- large apartments with a living room and kitchen. The staff let themselves in to cook a breakfast every morning (fruits, an egg-based dish, a loaf/bread with spreads and filter coffee). The apartments are clean and the view is so lovely to wake up to/have a balcony breakfast on. Some drains/toilet seats were a bit funny (e.g. not draining fully/wobbly) but it's a very minor thing compared to the rest of the accommodation. Overall excellent value for the quality of accommodation! The location is more suburban so requires taxis to/from and there aren't many cafes/ nearby shops. You can grab cheap metered taxis in the city/restaurants will call them for you so it's not too bad. It's about 10-15 min away from city locations.
• Femi (9/5): Our stay at High Ground was a pleasurable. My kids loved it. The view is amazing! -
• Eric (8/5): Quintessential Abode with a breathtaking view of Kigali - The place looks amazing, comfortable and well designed with an amazing view of Kigali. Jean is an amazing host. He accommodated us and checked up on us often. He was very hospitable The place is a bit far off from the main road where you can access Motos/Motorcycles. So you will need to pre-order a cab beforehand and wait for 30-40 minutes before they reach you. However, Jean has a cab guy if you need one
• Anonymous (10/5): Attention to detail and great staff throughout our stay. We look forward to coming back. - We are Rwandan/Americans and come to Rwanda often and stayed in many places. High Ground Villa is by far the best place we have stayed. it’s family oriented, so we felt at home as soon as we arrived. The kids loved it and enjoyed exploring and playing with other kids. We also had a great view of Kigali in a quiet area of the city. it’s nice to feel away, but know you are right there in town. There is also a training hill near by and we saw athletes training, which was great. Everyone is great!
