Recent Reviews in Rugabano

Umurobyi Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Calm and well situated resort, friendly environment, perfect for relaxing!"

Rwiza Village

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed the 2-night stay here. Lovely lake, lovely surroundings, and the grilled lake tilapia delicious. Be careful using google maps, as it may guide you to a grazing field with no exit."

Kivu Breeze Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are comfortable with a great view of the lake. Plus, the food in the restaurant was excellent, which made dinners so convenient. "

Umutuzo Lodge Kivu Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The property is lovely. Perched on the hillside, you feel like you’re on top of the world every day at breakfast with panoramic view of Lake Kivu. Our cabin was the closest to the lake which offered us unobstructed views from our patio which was the perfect spot to read or watch an incoming rain storm. It was a bit more of a hike uphill to breakfast and dinner but it was worth it. Plus we were also closer to the pool which was really one of the deciding factors why we picked Umutozo. You also have to take an outdoor shower while you’re there! Food was tasty and very fresh, we said hi to the on-site animals a couple of times. We enjoyed chatting with other guests and the owner Philippe at meal times. The staff was also great including Olivier who took us on our excursion to Napoleon Island and was very engaging to talk to on the boat ride there. I do recommend having a 4wd vehicle since there is a substantial amount of driving on unpaved roads required to reach the property. Very much enjoyed our time spent here."
