If you are looking for an authentic Rwandan experience and seeing the local life from inside - this place is for you! I had an amazing stay with Monique, Norbert and their two lovely daughters. They all made sure that I had a very special time here. The house is beautiful and the room is very clean. The food was delicious.  Monique and Norb also helped me to organize a treck to see the Twin Lakes and Golden monkeys treck in the Volcanoes national park. Monique also offered to have a city tour with me, seeing the local markets (we did it by boda boda which was an experience in itself :) The family explained to me a lot about Rwandan culture and nature.  This was truly one of the best travelling experiences I have ever had. My home away from home! And it was very difficult to say goodbye at the end of this lovely journey together. I really do hope we will meet again and I'm sure our connection will last. Once again, thank you all for making it so special for me!

The host is realy friendly and welcoming. He also works in the local tourism and thus knows great places to visit apart from the gorilla trekking. Our car broke down the morning we wanted to leave and he was a great help with getting the right mechanics.

The people working here are awesome! They are so helpful and friendly! The owner, Michael, is also awesome and one of the only Rwandese hotel owners in the area. The views from the premise are also beautiful. Definitely recommend staying here!

    This homestay is wonderful! I am so happy that I found it. The room is clean and quiet, the breakfast and dinner that are included are tasty, but the best part is the family. They are so kind and welcoming — for this reason this is my favorite place to stay in Rwanda. Thank you so much Monique!

    It's really more of a homestay, which I personally appreciated. The host helped me with an excellent last minute trip to the twin lakes on the day of arrival and the two lovely girls working there took excellent care of me during the entire stay. Delicious breakfast and outstanding dinner. Secure parking and as a bonus a lovely dog (stays outside, well groomed, likes pets but is okay if you don't feel like it). All in all, highly recommended!
