We stayed at Yambi Guesthouse during our time in Kigali and felt immediately at home. We were three people: a couple and a 16-year-old Guy, and it was the perfect place to start a trip through Rwanda. The guesthouse is calm, welcoming and very well located. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the shared spaces have a relaxed, friendly vibe. The staff were kind and helpful throughout our stay. On a personal note, it was a real joy to reconnect with Patrick, whom I had met ten years ago in a hostel in Lithuania. What a surprise to meet again in Rwanda, and to see how far his project has come. Warm atmosphere, great people, and a true sense of hospitality. Highly recommended.

We loved this place in Kigali. It was very comfortable and the staff was very accommodating. The breakfast (which was included) was very rich and with lots of variety. We'd definitely stay here again.

My stay at Yambi House was exactly what I needed. If you are tired of visiting the same city in a different location and staying at the same hotel with a different name and you are coming to Rwanda stay at Yambi House. Not only did I feel safe and well taken care of, I felt apart of the community. The breakfast is great; cooked to order, shower is hot, rooms are clean with a home feel, and the WIFI is excellent. The short walking distance from the house to the road will get you a bus or a taxi; if you dare, a ride on the back of a motor bike (I did) to town and anywhere you need to go. If you are a single woman traveling alone and want to feel safe and connected to something more than the typical tourist experience...but a bit nervous...Yambi House will not disappoint. What Patrick has created is bigger than just his vision it is a welcoming spirit that allows for a transformative space known as Yambi House.

Yambi is an oasis in the bustling Rebero area of Kigali! It really felt like a second home to us, so much so that we decided to come back there three weekends in a row between teaching in rural Rwanda. The staff are simply superb. Felicien greeted us every morning with a smile and a tasty breakfast while Jo made the most fabulous coffees on their La Marzocco coffee machine! Lionel and Omar were also incredibly helpful. We often spent time in their beautiful garden, reading, chatting and listening to the many birds. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Patrick is a fantastic host and runs this guest house exceptionally well. Thank you so much, we'll really miss Yambi!! Kevin and Laura

Our stay in Yambi was lovely! While the location is not excellent, the place itself is a welcome retreat from the busy city. The back porch was comfortable, peaceful and gave us lovely views. The people were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and I loved how proud of it the chef was. Our room was spacious and the shower was great!

The communal area was fantastic and provided a calm space from the city. The chef made a delicious breakfast and dinner. They even let us hang out for a while before a flight and helped us get up the airport. The room we had was large and included a fan which was helpful.
