Wonderful place to stay at! Monique and Norbert go out of their way to make you feel at home. Clean and neat room and bathroom and Monique and Norbert are always around to help you plan your trip. Norbert is also an excellent guide and the walk we did with him to the twin lakes was really great! If you want to see Rwanda with a local and really get a glimpse into the life of a Rwandan family, do not hesitate to book this place.

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 owners made us feel very welcome we felt like we had come home. We were given great information on the area and activities. We hadn’t made plans to see the gorillas and Issac helped us greatly to make the arrangements to see them. We thank both Issac and Jojo for being great hosts and we hope to come back again .

Breakfast was great and huge! Lots of fresh fruit. Friendly hosts, fast kitchen and tasty dishes. Rooms were spotless with modern fixtures. Highly recommend - slightly outside Musanze town, and therefore much quieter than some of the other go-to affordable inns.

We loved the setting - eating breakfast in the outdoors while having all the volcanoes in view. The staff were super friendly and great to chat with. Michael was provided very helpful advice regarding transport and directions, as well as insights into the culture of Rwanda. Since rain was a possibility, they offered the room and tent for us to use as we prefer during our stay. Also very good local food!

    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!
