Very friendly and hospitality owner.
He helped us to organise our transport to Bisoke trail for good price!
The room was clean, interior very nice!
Good Wi-Fi, hot water in shower and warm blanket
Greatest place, very knowledgeable and helpful owner, very generous and delicious breakfast and the best laundry service in Africa if you need it Highly recommended
We had a great time staying at Virunga Homestays.
It really felt like a home from home, with nice clean rooms, a comfortable lounge and a veranda to sit on.. Breakfast was amazing with eggs, coffee and lots of fruit.
You won't get a better price/value than this in Musanze!
Francis the host is really knowledgeable as well and can help you arrange any of your local activities and onward travel and is always good for a chat!
The guys that work there are really nice and you won't see a bigger smile anywhere in Rwanda than John's when he greets you!
Nothing
It's convenient and managed by an amazing man ready to help you with almost everything you need.
very clean and such a peaceful and secure environment a few meters from the Musanze Town.
Just stop scrolling and book your stay here!
Nothing for sure!
Francis was a wonderful host.
Incredibly friendly and helpful.
My room, the dinner he prepared, and the guide he recommended were all excellent.
I highly recommend his Homestay.
Great breakfast with a lot of fruits.
Francis the host was very friendly and helpful, a real gentleman!
I had a wonderful stay at Virunga Homestay.
Francis and his staff were amazing hosts and ensured to make my stay as homely as possible.
Would definitely recommend staying here for a local Rwandan Homestay experience.
Francis is also a guide and offers tours in and around Musanze.
Location was very convenient
The hospitality was awesome.
The place is very clean and the beds comfortable.
They let us use the kitchen for our meals and on top of everything the WiFi worked perfectly
We booked a twin room.
But there is no such a thing.
After talking to the owner they reallocated us into 2 great rooms
The Breakfast was good!
And the location is calm
Dinner!
Great place for those who are looking for astonishing view from the terrace.
Really it is mind-blowing.
Strongly recommended.
Well, the conditions are not luxury, more like in normal touristic cabin, but it is pretty decent.
The stuff is great (to the managers: special thanks to Erric), trying to help.
Mornings, when fishermen from the fishermen village nearby start fishing, they sing.
They do this because they believe that unhappy fisherman can not achieve good result.
Good occasion to get new emotions and thoughts.
Don't go for boat trip, never.
It is not only overpriced but i doubt the ethics of the organiser (we had agreement for 2 and half hours, he deliberately slowed down the capitan to charge me 3hours).
To the guest: go to the city, in front of Museum of Environment is a boat pier you can negotiate better price.
To the managers: get out of this practice, organise a daily tour for all willing to participate guests.
Then the pricess will be acceptable and clients will not feel as being ripped off.
What other guest has already wrote - water pressure and the road are problems which require government help, hope soon they will receive it.
For the road - google give different direction, use the road from roundabout next to the hospital.
There are signs for the hotel, follow them.
Only last 200 meters are crazy, realy crazy, but manageable with extreme cautious.
I was about to cancel this booking only because the road.
Please, do not do it, you can manage.
Restaurant often doesn't have the most interesting local type food.
For the managers: I know it is difficult to provide constant ingredients but clients don't need just something to eat but they want to try something special.
This place is so nice and if you upgrade your menue it may attract clients from outside of the hotel.
Yes, on Friday there is huge anymal market and can be a little noisy, but it is acceptable, take it as an attraction 5.
To the managers: Please, reply to the questions which clients put here in booking chat room, it will give feeling of confidence
The atmosphere is very calm and serene, perfect for relaxation.
There is a nice spot to sit at the lake and watch the sunset.
Dinner was delicious and is served at a restaurant with a nice view.
They help organize boat trips right from the hotel, if that tickles your fancy.
It's not so much things that I didn't like, more expectation management.
Internet reception is poor, even 4G is hit or miss (for those that have to be connected).
The room is quite basic (photos are accurate), so when it rains or you are otherwise stuck in the room, I could imagine that this might become a bummer depending on the view from your room
fantastic views from the cabins, good food but a bit over-priced, comfy beds
a challenge of a drive to get there but the lodge was so kind to send a guide to escort us.
Nice small hotel with fantastic vieuw of lake kivu.
Good restaurant, nice breakfast and very friendly people.
It needs some maintenance, especially the bathrooms.
Nb: the location as given in booking.com is completely wrong: in reality rwiza village is on the shores of lake kivu.
The location of the place is amazing, the view of Lake Kivu and the surrounding hills simply breathtaking, and the place itself well kept, incredibly green and quiet, with a kitchen garden and a private access to the lake, in short: a small paradise, where you can watch the fishingboats leaving for the night's catch, fisherpeople singing beautifully.
The shower in our room was more a faint idea of what it can be like to really taking a shower, as there was near to no water coming out of the shower head.
And then, the breakfast: too small for hungry people, and any extra slice of bread costs an additional sum of RWF 1,000!!
Nice place and friendly staff
If you want, they arrange a boat trip for you.
But at their price.
And that is very expensive.
300 dollars).
One cannot leave from their shore with another boatman
Very good place
the view, the price, the restaurant area, the balcony in the room.
bathroom was a bit small food was very slow - but came with a smile!
The place is beautifull and quiet.
The room is very simple and tiny
You absolutly need a 4x4 car to arrived to the location ans the road is not correctly referenced by Google Maps!
We call the hotel in order to have some help and they wasn't helpfull More road signe is necessary!
And the guide service Booking at the reception wasn't fair.
We made a deal and the guide don't respect it in order to have more money!
The tour was more expensive as the room with breakfast and meal!
Don't Book with the reception
Good hotel with a great view.
bathroom a little small ans the pressure was Low
Honestly, this is the best guest house in Rwanda.
The visit there was even more exciting that national park itself, really...!
I wish i had more time to spend there not on transit to the park but for relaxation.
The place is good also for distant working as the room has a working desk.
Outside: Good terrace with green environment, see the pictures how they are decorated with flowers and greenery.
Small well maintained garden.
