Rwiza Village

The location and the property of Rwiza Village are just beautiful! You have the best view overlooking the lake and the sunset from your room. The little huts are simple but comfortable with a little balcony. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and food were decent (we recommend the Talpia that is not on the menue). From Kibuye we walked (1h) or took motos (10 mins) to get to the accommodation. Fair price for what you get. The facilities will need some renovation in the future. No WiFi in the rooms.

Beautiful views from the bungalows which are small and basic but with a marvelous view from the balcony. Direct access to the lake. The food at the restaurant is delicious and nice restaurant staff. But...the access is a 500 meter dirt road...

A little slice of heaven! We stayed for only one night, and I only wish we had stayed for longer. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing stay at Lake Kivu. The bedrooms are practical with the most stunning views. Food was good too.

Rwiza village is a beautiful place next to the Lake Kivu. The rooms are clean and have a nice view. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is amazing. The price is good! I will highly recommend a stay. The only downsides are that the staff are not always on time, and the WiFi that was included was only available in the restaurant.

Friendly staff, quick check in, quick to respond to and work to accomodate guests requests. Food in the restaurant was top notch and plentiful. Great view of the lake from the restaurant and the cabins. Easy access to the lake for swimming and boating. Beautifully kept grounds. Cabin comfortable with electric outlet, small deck, hot water shower.

We were exploring Rwanda, and wanted to stay in the Kibuye area. We saw Rwiza Village advertised, and could not resist booking our stay with them. Rwiza Village is like no other place that we have ever stayed at: the individual lodges, either overlooking Lake Kivu, or the gardens, are in the style of the past local area, have a balcony, catered for our needs, and were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and was served in an outside open covered environment. A really nice touch too. The local fisherman come back to the harbour area each morning, and you can hear them singing en route. The boats are fabulous to watch. There is a farmers’ market across the lake each Friday. Yes, there is some noise from the local pigs being sold there, but so what really - not troublesome at all. It is all part of the area's experience, and enjoyment. We decided to take a boat trip to the local islands to see the bats and the monkeys. This has got to be done, and it gave us the opportunity to see more of the area itself from a different angle. This takes two hours. JoJo who was in charge of reception, and could not do enough for us. Thanks JoJo.
