Absolutely loved this property. One of my favorite places that I stayed in Rwanda. All the staff were extremely kind and helpful. Absolutely gorgeous view and loved that they had a dock I could take a dip in Lake Kivu. The cottages themselves were very cozy and clean. Highly recommend this property for any visitors near Kibuye.

Rwiza Village is a bit out of the way from Kibuye, but it is well worth the trek! Beautiful and relaxing views. While the hotel is a bit basic in terms of amenities, you won't need anything more than what they provide. Truly, this place is a great place when you want to just escape the everyday and relax.

It was lovely location with wonderful views. Good food. But I told management that it should be advertised as not user friendly for disabled people which I am I would never have booked there if I had realised how hard it would be for me to get anywhere. I never made it to the lake.

Rwiza Village is in a lovely location. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the rooms have fantastic views. However, the very last bit of the drive is impossible in a 2-wheel drive it it has been raining and the showers are not in very good condition. Overall a great place to stay though :)

Good place for a get-away weekend
We had a very good time, the rooms (every room is an individual little house) are simple but with a beautiful view on the lake. Staff is very friendly and food and drinks in the restaurant are reasonably priced. Food is good but selection a bit narrow. The only minor negative aspect is the bathroom, it's clean but very tiny and not much water coming from the shower.

Great location but getting there even with a 4x4 was not easy. I will return to this hotel in the future but hope that the road will be fixed and improved.
