The whole family is very welcoming and my stay there felt like stepping into the daily life of a rwandan family. I was invited eating with them their familydinner, where I got to know the traditional dishes (delicious btw) and to have a talk about living in Rwanda. Norbert works in tourism for that was very convenient as Norbert helped me organise my gorilla trekking at an affordable price and I also did an authentic hiking tour with Norbert as my tour guide, where I learned a lot about the country. The room was simple equipped with mosquitonet, there was a theoretically shared bathroom, but since I was the only guest it was private for me, sometimes no running water but always enough watercanisters to handle that. If you want to have an authentic experience at an affordable price this is definitely the place to go with!

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 .

    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!
