Cleo was Amazing!

Reviewed By dwoody87

The Cleo was an amazing place to visit! It's perched beautifully above lake kivu. My group stopped for an evening visit in the lake and dinner. The lake water was cool and extremely refreshing. Their overall service was amazing. This hospitality was above and beyond. Dinner did take some time, but most sit down restaurants in Rwanda are the same way. It's simply their culture. But this gave my group plenty of time to discuss some thing and enjoy the night. Is I have the opportunity to visit Rwanda again the will definitely be a stay here planned! Thank you Cleo!

Remarkable Rwiza

Reviewed By therisious

One of the affected area by this pandemic is travelling. I was forced to take my hiatus somewhere closeby where I don't need a flight to go to another destination. It turned out good anyway because I did not regret visiting this place. I stayed in one of their cute wooden cottages or some call it huts. There is no AC because you won't need it. Being close to the lake and having the floor elevated from the ground gives a good ventilation and circulation of cool breeze. You may get a good walking exercise if the cottage assigned to you is at the far end because the restaurant maybe is at the other end. There is no other restaurant close by the vicinity. If you will stay for few more days, I suggest that you bring enough drinking water because the resto closes at 10pm and they have small bottle water only. The shower has cold and hot water. You may need to bring your own shampoo and conditioner, only soap is provided. The internet is weak in some areas but they are in the process of improving it. The cottages don't have television...yes, you've read it right. No TV. Well, for me this is not a big issue because it helped me relaxed my mind and destress from all that's happening around the world. In the morning, you'll be awakened by the chirping of birds around the area. In the afternoon, it's so satisfying to watch the sunset. In the evening, it's so serene! All the staff are friendly and the service is very good.

Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotel

A great stay!

Reviewed By Desiree B

Top View Hill Hotel was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Nyungwe Rainforest and chimpanzee trekking. The rooms/chalets were nice with fresh flowers from the garden, a fireplace that was lit when it got chilly and hot water bottles in our bed when we came back from dinner. The staff were very professional and friendly. The food was good and they packed a nice breakfast for us when we had to leave really early for the chimpanzee trekking. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere with gorgeous views over the rainforest and hills. We highly recommend staying here!

Very high standard accommodation (bed, shower, etc). Very friendly staff, especially Eric. Good food, cold drinks. Good place to lay low for a few days. Although there is a lot happening on the lake, this place is quiet and easy going.

Great views, delicious food, right on Lake Kivu

Reviewed By Martingordon2

Beautifully situated in a quiet bay, with stunning views across Lake Kivu. All the rooms have views over the lake, and the bar / terrace is on the lake. The food is great - if on the slightly more expensive end for the town. The views and the terrace is what really makes the place. There is also a jetty and a small 'beach' where we swam (the water in Lake Kivu is warm) as well as a sauna and a walk to a children's playground and gym area with table tennis, running / rowing machine. This is all within the estate. The staff are friendly and efficient, if on the slightly formal side.

Paradise Kivu

Asked for more money, then canceled reservation

Reviewed By kertib

I reserved three rooms at this hotel on Hotels.com for an upcoming trip in April. I was excited to stay, as the pictures looked beautiful. After booking the third room, however, the hotel staff reached out saying I needed to pay $56 more in order to keep the reservation, as they were in the process of changing their rates when I booked the third room. I checked back on Hotels.com, and the rates were actually LESS expensive than when I booked. When I asked them why this was, I got a message from Hotels.com saying that all three reservations were canceled at my request. So be wary booking at this hotel.
