Paradise Malahide

We spent a few nights at Paradise Malahide and absolutely loved it. We were three people: a couple and a 16-year-old Guy, and it was one of our favourite places during our trip. The lodge is right on the shores of Lake Kivu, in a stunning and peaceful setting. The view is magical, especially in the early morning and at sunset. The staff were truly exceptional, always kind and attentive. Our bungalow was simple but charming, clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the cozy fireplace in the evenings, which made our stay even more special. The food was great too, and the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. A beautiful and memorable stay. We wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a really great nights stay at Paradis Malahide. Firstly the service was awesome and as a close second was the restaurant - some of the best food so far on our Rwanda trek. Accommodations are simple but good - clean with comfy beds, right on the waters edge. Wish we had been able to stay for a second night for a little more R&R and to get out on a boat.

Our Stay was awesome at this Place, Waiters were Having Best Customer care, The Room was Good with a Beautiful view of the Lake Kivu , The Receptionist was good Explainer about the other Activities around the Hotel, I wish I will come back and I will recommend the place to my Friends.

Great location on the lake shore, beautiful view, nice garden and cosy open air restaurant with very good food. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bungalows are in front of the lake and confortable, all was great ...BUT I would suggest to change the outside white light bulb to yellow ones in order to create a more eco-friendly atmosphere!

As far as the public areas of this hotel are concerned, they are good and interesting as somewhat unusual. It gives the place some character. The food was also plentiful in choice and quite delicious. The hotel offers beach side dining and breakfast, which is great on a sunny day. The hotel is let down by its rooms. The first night, we had a room with a tatty bathroom, the water pressure was almost zero, the shower basin did not drain and the mosquito net was tight. We were offered another room upon complaining. This had a much better water supply and the basin drained. Both rooms were very noisy with traffic passing on the adjacent road day and night. I would not chose this hotel again as there are much nicer and quieter ones along the lake shores and at similar prices.

I recently visited and spent one night. I was looking for a small setting that was close to the lake and quiet and offered a natural setting, Well, I got it. The bed was comfortable; the rooms are a bit dark if you stay in the bungalow and are modest and made of stone and other natural materials. I was there in the rainy season so had no issues with bugs, or mosquitos. The staff are attentive and very helpful. The food is pretty good, I ordered what I believed would be fast otherwise, it is advised to order ahead. Special thanks to the front office staff, Prosper, and two dining staff members, Ellie and Emmanual, both pleasant and cheerful and offered great service.
