"It was such amazing stay. We will come back very soon and as often as we will be able to do it. Thank you Patrick, Nshuti, Angelic, the Chef and all the staff in general. We need to buy now a 4 x 4 car especially for our upcoming stays at Palega Beach Inn !! "
"Dian Fossey Hotep is one of the more unique places I’ve stayed due to the artwork around the facility. Paintings and statues depicting Rwandan traditional culture and wildlife adorn the grounds and hotel. The staff are very kind and helpful."
"What a charming and relaxing stay I had at this lodge. I brought friends and we had a marvelous time!
The staff was excellent. Everything was clean. The food was very good. Great location. On a main road so easy to get to.
I would stay here again. "
"The setting of the hotel is superb – nice beach (the water has great mineral quality to it), different walks at the door step (Congo-Nile trail or lakeside paths, coffee washing station nearby is great to visit). The food is excellent (from the local vegetable and fruit garden) and rooms are spacious and well-maintained.
The downsides are 11 km of dirt track in poor condition (allow extra 10-15 min relative to google maps estimate) and rooms can be too warm at night (24C at night, no aircon)

"The staff made us feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived. The rooftop dining experience was unforgettable - grilled fish, fresh juice, and a view that looks like a postcard. Conveniently close to the border if you're exploring both countries."
"The views are great
However Two of the three rooms had stuffed drains in the bathrooms that caused flooding on the floor. The staff left the key for one of rooms that they had to rearrange to seperate beds upon arrival locked in another room causing the teens to have to wait along time
To get into their room. The service for towels and room arrangements was slow
And the bathrooms need maintenance and updates
"
"They placed me in a room that reeked of mold and mosquito chemicals. When I requested a different room, the staff sprayed deodorant in the one next to mine—I could hear it clearly. When I asked about it, she confirmed it. That response was both unprofessional and unacceptable. I left the property within minutes, wheezing and with a pounding headache."
"Amazing hotel and extremely affordable. This for sure the very best location in Giseny. The hotel is directly at the lake. Walkable to the public beach and pretty much everywhere.
The breakfast was amaizng and all the staff memebers were very friendly anddemonstrated solid hospitality skills.
I loved everything about this trip."
"I cant express how amazing this property is! This resort is absolutely beautiful!! The interior decor of the hotel is designed perfectly. The views outside the property of the Congo and Lake Kivu is a showstopper! The food was so delicious and fulfilling. The service from staff was top notch! I highly recommend a stay at this property, it was really amazing!"
"My experience was slightly affected by the fact that I stayed in low season, and at a time when there was political instability along the border with DRC nearby. Hence I was the only guest for most of my time at the hotel which generated a slightly odd feeling.
However, the suite I was allocated to was absolutely beautiful, incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean.
The view into the rainforest from the private patio at the rear of the suite was fantastic and perfect for relaxation.
The quality of the food in the hotel restaurant was of the highest class, and although the waiting staff were possibly slightly over-attentive (because I was the only diner most of the time) they were really friendly & professional.
Reception staff gave me great advice regarding how to arrange activities in the park, inc contact details for the park guides.
I had a great couple of days at the hotel and would thoroughly recommend it. "
"The staff at this property were extremely nice and friendly. The journey from Kigali however was stressful. I recommend renting a jeep or a car with high tires as the roads leading to the accommodation are bad. "
"The hotel is positioned right across from the lake. Beautiful and tranquil property. Breakfast mostly fruits, eggs, juice, coffee and African tea. The rooms need upgrades, remodeling, better colors on the wall, better paintings. TV in the room did not work. WiFi here is terribly bad and horrible. Those things management and owners need to take into account and fix it. Also, when you pay for your stay thru Expedia they automatically receive notification that customer paid but when you check in they keep asking to show proof that you paid which is absurd and ridiculous. Other than that the place is beautifu. From hotel to city center by moto taxi is RFW1,000, don't pay more. Boat ride outside of the hotel is RWF15,000 for one hour. I would not recommend hot spring because is not hygienic, dirty and trashy. "
