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 view from the balcony of each cabin is to die for!!! The staff extremely friendly! Food in the restaurelant limited but tasty and very reasonably priced. Now the bad news. Inside the cabins everything is so tired to say the least.The electric sockets practically hanging out. The shower so small you can hardly turn round ( and i am a slim guy). It looks to me like the owner is giving up on it... Such a shame as i really wanted to give high rating...

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.
