Lodge in Ruanda

“We stayed 3 nights in mid April. First, do not let the rainy season deter you. The rains did come in the late afternoons and the trekking was a little muddy, but I think it is likely the best time to gorilla trek and/or look for the golden monkeys. Everything is lush and green, no crowds and a discounted price. In terms of the lodge, we cannot give enough praise. The lodge itself and the rooms are beautiful and absolutely wonderful. WiFi was available in the main area and in our room. The...

“Amazing stay at UMVA! Quiet, gorgeous architecture, yummy food, and lovely community vibes at dinner. I really enjoyed kayaking on the lake!! And throughout, felt very safe as a solo female traveller. Definitely recommend!”

“Tout était parfait”

“Unique on remote peninsula with great lake views Very nice nature”

“Nice and quiet. ”

“Tranquil and beautiful setting, lovely escape! Jojo was wonderful in letting us know about everything when we arrived and helping us organize a boat trip - accommodated late check out also. Would definitely stay again if in the area ”

“Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit tollem Ausblick. Empfehlung: Die Organisation der Touren sollte nur eine Person in die Hand nehmen. Da kamen zu viele, die sich mit dem selben Namen vorgestellt haben und behaupteten, sie arbeiten mit Macheoecolodge zusammen. Das war undurchsichtig. -> Da kann aber dort keiner was dafür. Sollte nur vom Management zum Schutz der Gäste beobachtet werden. Ansonsten ist es eine Reise wert und besonders!”

“Perfect location.”

“Het hotel is ruim opgezet, het personeel vriendelijk. Ontvangst met gemberthee. Het hotel was schoon, de kamers ruim. sAvonds werd de haard in onze kamer aangestoken. Voor onze safari naar de Golden Monkeys was het een heel goede locatie, ook voor de Gorilla safari in Rwanda is het een goede plek. Het eten was uitgebreid , maar de kwaliteit viel een beetje tegen. ”

“Exceedingly lovely staff. So many nice surprises like burning fireplaces in the rooms with hot water bottles in the beds, foot rubs and shoe cleanings after our hike. Mattresses were amazing. Food was quite good, the included breakfast is expansive. Very beautiful grounds. Live dancing one night. Lovely dog Sparky. A few words of caution: most of our showers did not have hot water. Drinks and dinner were pretty pricey, so would consider at least bringing your own bottled water. They didn’t have...

“Fantastic stay. The food was some of the best we had in Rwanda. Beautiful and quiet. ”

“This place is impossible to find. The roads are terrible on the way and dangerous. In fact never found it in the end and turned around to go to another hotel. Beware!”

“The staff was very friendly and more attentive than any other hotel I have ever stayed at. The lodge itself is very outdated the price was high but so are all the other ones in the area.”

“The place isn’t anywhere near as nice as the pictures. Nice staff but that’s about it. Overpriced like everything else in Rwanda.”

“A quite place, the staff was great, and helpul, the food was tasty, the location is good for Nyngwe visit”

“deze lodge bestaat niet, het is een frauduleuze onderneming waarbij foto's van andere lodges worden gebruikt en waarbij gasten die zogenaamd geboekt hebben én betaald aan hotels.com, door een dubieuze "lodge manager" ter plaatse naar een andere lodge worden verwezen (met argument dat zijn lodge, Twin Lakes, onverwacht volzet is, en waarbij de gast opnieuw moet betalen aan deze lodge. We stuurden hierover een mail naar hotels.com.”
