It’s cheap to camp at Rwf5000 for the car in the very uninviting car park but that’s about it really, a 80’s European hotel feeling, a main stream tourism destination with expensive tours, but great views. If you have a car to sleep in; this is not the most appealing place to camp as at 4am people start talking and starting cars but okay for just a night for me before heading to Kigali. The garden at the back down to the lake is very nice though.

The dorms cost 3.000 without breakfast, toilet and shower inside the dorms and there is hot showers in the common toilet outside.
As other travelers commented the views are amazing!

camping in your car or roof top tent in car park or with ground tent on grasy area on the hill! Amazing view when you camp with ground tent!ask for camp site on the hill! they would offer you otherwise next to the house! good food in restaurant but it takes a while

Very nice rooms, clean bathroom, very good kitchen. But the best of the place is a breathtaking view to the lake.
We booked a boat tour to the islands, strongly recommended.
30.000 RFr the room, Camping per car 15.000RFr. Dormatory 8.000 RFr ppn. Reasonable prices for food and beverages.
My First Five Stars because of the wonderful view to the lake.😀

Beautiful view! Basic and clean abolutions. Cold shower. Payed 5000 for 2 persons to sleep in the car in the parking.

Ok, it has a great view. But that’s what every mountain top has here. The rooms are poor and 20000 Frank, excluding breakfast, for the ‘best one’. Service in the restaurant takes ages. Luckily they have the waiting time per dish on their menu and that is quit reliable. 50mins for a pizza, 20mins for a cup of tea.

Beautiful location, and there's a nice quiet garden if you head down the stairs at the end of the peninsula (no swimming though). Dorm 7000 with breakfast. Camping 5000 without breakfast. There are preparation times listed by each item in the menu, multiply by 1.5 to 2 to get the real waiting time. I think they completely forgot my order until I asked about it (2 hrs later), but then they also forgot to charge me for a beer, so it worked out.

Splendid view over lake Kivu from terrace. Can be bit crowded by big groups.
Restaurant with good food, but breakfast buffet isn't worth the 4000RWF
They charge 5000RWF pppn for camping, same price as single room.
Dorm from 3000RWF
Nice staff.

As stated by others, nice place with hot showers. However food service is very very very slow. Our main took 2 hours, even when ordering at 17pm before everyone else.

Hotel on beautifull peninsula behind the memorial church of Kibuye. Amazing view over the lake from the terrace of the hotel. Camping on the paved parking. cold showers but friendly staff. Food is not to expencive (we didn't taste it but it looked good) and for camping we paid 4000rfr for the two of us per night.
