How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
The food was good, the staff helpful, and the pool was nice. However, the mosquito net didn’t stop the bugs – it had a big hole against the wall – and there were power and internet outages. I also found the tour‑booking support ineffective, and the room quality was low with rust in the bathroom and loose décor.

The staff were friendly and polite, the pool was clean (though the tiles were a bit rough), and the food was excellent, even if pricey, and the grey coroner was tamed. I’m torn about the hotel’s standard versus its cost; it’s supposedly a higher‑end place in Burundi, yet I expected better than cracked plaster, rusted bathroom fixtures, and no luggage assistance. I understand some issues stem from local constraints, but the exposed ladder and tangled electrical cables outside my door were unnecessary. My bed had a beautiful mosquito net, but it had a huge gap on the wall side that let the buzzing of blood‑sucking mosquitoes wake me at dawn – they say they’ll fix it soon. Add to that the power cuts that also knocked out the air‑conditioning and the satellite Wi‑Fi, which was unstable even when it worked. For the price, the stay felt too expensive for the standard.

A true oasis amid Bujumbura, with very friendly staff and a well‑maintained property. We experienced power outages about four times over two days, but that’s beyond the hotel’s control.

The natural accommodation conditions were great, but the breakfast left something to be desired.

The place was clean and comfortable, but the breakfast was disappointing.
