Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Kivu

Sophie was really warm and receptive during our communication from when we booked her space. She had a wonderful caretaker on site called Donnata who was always willing to help and kept the place squeaky clean. I will definitely be coming back to this place in my next visit to Rwanda.

This is a really perfect spot if you want to check out Volcanoes National Park without breaking the bank. There can be a real lack of affordable accommodation for tourists in the area and this, as a two-bedroom house with small communal room and secure parking, is absolutely perfect. Saved us a fortune, and it was nice to get back from a rainy day's trekking and have that space to unwind in. Janvier and Anne-Marie really went out of their way, even helping us to order take-out from a local restaurant when we didn't feel like going out. They helped explain the route to the park entrance as we were off to see the golden monkeys. And there were lots of little touches in the house, like biscuits, a hairdryer, shampoo - anything you might have forgotten to bring. They were also very flexible about check out. Really so glad we decided to give it a try, and planning to go back as it's just down the road from Crema coffee shop which is the pick-up spot for canoeing Mukungwa River.

I have been to many places in Kigali, never seen any clean place like this. The host was kind and easy to reach. Check in instructions were very simple. I highly recommend this place.

A very nice villa for a large group of people, very friendly and responsive host (Joseph) and friendly caretakers (David and Darcin). We enjoyed our stay and the host kept checking on us the whole time. I would definitely recommend as the place is clean, bedrooms and bathrooms are prestine and clean too. A five star villa.

Nicely decorated house in a very quiet neighborhood. The house was very clean and well-equipped, and it came with a staff who was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

My group and I needed a getaway, and this stay was exactly that. It offered a somewhat secluded feel while still being conveniently located—just 7 to 10 minutes from businesses and near the university—making it a perfect fit for us. The home was nice, and overall, we had a great stay. I have to commend the host for their responsiveness; there were a few minor issues, but they addressed them promptly and to the best of their ability. Communication was excellent, and they made a great effort to ensure my group and I enjoyed our time. I would definitely book with them again. Just a heads-up: the last 5 minutes of the drive to the house are on unfinished roads due to ongoing development in the area, so be prepared for that.

Placide is a welcoming and accommodating host, who helped us get settled and even arranged a great driver and tour guide. His house was beautiful, spacious and clean. The rooftop view and sounds of nature in the mornings and evenings were a peaceful treat. I would definitely stay again, next time.

I loved my stay! We booked till Sunday but ended up extending and my check out is tomorrow Thursday! I loved the space, it was cleaned everyday, staff was friendly, the restaurant is quite convenient for days you don’t feel like leaving your apartment- only thing that would make it more enjoyable is expanding the menu to having more variety of foods and drinks. I loved the pool and the beautiful view facing the hills. Enjoyed my hot showers and the WiFi! The staff are also quite responsive to anything you need. My room service requests were made quite promptly! I would 100% recommend! Thank you!

THE LOCATION IS NOT LISTED CORRECTLY! it is 15 minute drive to the east (!) of the airport otherwise: the place was great overall, explicitly because the staff is so helpful! they got us a car for rent, they did our laundry, they brought everything we wanted right to our door. place is very clean, nothing to complain.

We enjoyed our stay at Lexor apartments. Martin and his team were extremely responsive to all our requests and everything generally worked fine. We will definitely stay here again 100%

Great location. Very clean and comfortable.

Nicole is a great host. She is responsive and supportive.

Gisele’s place is well located for restaurants, transport, groceries, and plenty of options. The apartment is better than the photos and the host was quick to respond whenever a need arose. Highly recommend for others who are looking for an upscale apartment in Kigali at a great price.

The daily presence of the staff made me feel safe. There can be noise from people walking if you sleep in the front room but it's just security or cleaning lady.

A very nice apartment in the bedt neighborhood of Kigali.

This home was a precious refuge for our family during our time in Kigali. It is so beautiful and clean. There gardens are breathtaking. The beds were incredibly comfortable, we actually wish our home beds had such nice pillows, sheets, and blankets! The location of the home was perfect. I could walk anywhere to get whatever we needed. The house staff is incredibly friendly and helpful as well. They did tons of laundry for our large family and washed our many, many dishes. We will treasure our time in Kigali and this home for years to come.

We loved staying here. It was our first time to Kigali and we had to stay while we looked for a long term apartment. We appreciated Harriet who was always helpful and friendly. We would stay here again if we need.

La casa es muy cómoda, eres del pueblo pero es una zona muy tranquila. Los jardines son muy amplios. El lago Bunyonyi apenas está a 8 kms.

We were in Kigali for work and this Airbnb was a great home base for us. We didn't spend a ton of time there because of our work but it was a peaceful retreat each evening. The house and gardens are beautiful and look just like the photos. There was reliable electricity and hot water. We also worked with Keren, the property manager, to arrange for the driver, Maurice, to take us to/from our work location each day and to take us around town and to the airport on our last day. We also arranged to have someone cook breakfast each day. The price was reasonable and the food was excellent! Gerard also was so proactive in cleaning and keeping the house tidy, in addition to washing clothes and cleaning shoes, etc. It should be noted, the house is not in a particularly central location but, for us, this was fine. Overall, we had a great experience!
