Scam. Don't book it.
Although the booking had been confirmed, when we arrived at the hotel we were not let in, the receptionist came to the gate and informed us that they have no rooms avilable and that they were trying to communicate the problem to hotels.com, we were not provided with any alternative and had to arrange an alternative accommodation ourselves. Although we were not allowed to check in the hotel charged us in full and communicated to hotels.com that we were provided with an alternative rooms on the expense of the hotel, which is simply a lie.

The facility is Good, kept clean with good hospitable staff. Their problem is water and electricity. While it might be endemic to the city and country, getting water to wash was a challenge. Low pressure in the taps when there is a moment of flowing water.

Charming,small hotel on quiet side street
The staff is great, helpful and welcoming, my room was lovely and comfortable, the bathroom large with a good shower. I loved sitting by the small but attractive pool in the well kept garden. I highly recommend this charming hotel.

Happy to recommend the Dolce Vita
If you're looking for the Ritz Carlton, this likely isn't your cup of tea (and good luck finding it in Buja). But this place was an oasis considering the first night I stayed at the Hotel Beausejour Iramya (where one star is too much). Burundi is going through a tough time these days, and it appeared as though I was the only guest for a prolonged period. The staff here were wonderfully accommodating, kind, and resourceful - the speak very good English (rare in Buja), they repaired a pair of shoes I had lost the sole on for less than a dollar, and mended a shirt I managed to put a hole in at the aforementioned awful hotel, making sure the repair was symmetrical on the other side. Amazing. Another reviewer commented on sunbathing - unsure why you'd come here to tan - go to the Club du Lac if you want that. I never used the pool but it looked clean and well kept, especially given surrounding foliage. The surrounding greenery is beautiful, internet was fast enough, AC gloriously cold, mosqui nets high-end top notch wall connected versions, and housekeeping well managed. Safes in all rooms for the security conscious, and decent nightly rates. The food was really excellent - I saw their kitchen and what they can do in there is nothing short of a miracle. Real coffee and croissants in the morning - lovely. It is almost adjacent to the US embassy, but hires only one unarmed guard if that is a concern. In short - a lovely stay, would stay again, would recommend to anyone.

Nice neighbourhood
Airport pick up & drop off free. Beautiful gardens and pleasantly decorated room in a bungalow style hotel. I forgot my jacket in the car & the driver got it back to me.
