Staff was very kind and accommodating (always went the extra mile) and as others have noted the food was really excellent. Light and healthy and tasted very fresh—the best food we had in Rwanda. "

Tiloreza Volcanoes Ecolodge
10/10 Excellent
"Amazing service, charming rooms, fantastic food. I went there after a gorilla trek and before hiking up Bisoke and they were fantastic. They helped arrange transport as well. Will absolutely be staying here again if I'm back in Musanze."

What makes the stay even more special is the hospitality of the staff. They are genuinely kind, professional, and always available to assist with a smile. Add to that the tasty breakfast and fresh meals, and every day starts on a perfect note.
This place is not just an apartment—it’s a retreat where you can relax in peace after exploring the city. In my opinion, Safe Haven Apartments sets a new standard for quality and comfort in Africa. It delivers an experience that is not only reliable but also feels truly special, making it a place I would return to without hesitation.

"I loved this place so much. Staff especially is just so kind and amazing! Everyone who works there deserves a raise. Beautiful hotel, clean and massive rooms, and Pacific helped me arrange transportation which was super helpful. Definitely staying here again if I ever visit. Thank you! "
THE TREKKER'S REST LODGE
10/10 Excellent
"Friendly staff, spacious rooms, and a relaxing garden area. I would recommend this lodge to families, couples, and solo travelers looking for a peaceful stay in Musanze"
Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge
2/10 Terrible
"This property is falsely advertised. The location listed on Expedia is not accurate, and when I arrived, it was nowhere near where it was supposed to be. I was forced to book another hotel last-minute. That alone would have been manageable, but the real issue is that the property provided no way to resolve the situation. They never answered their phone, ignored messages, and even when Expedia tried to reach them directly, there was no response. As a result, I was unable to cancel and lost over $1,300.
Travelers should be aware that this listing is misleading and the property is unresponsive."
Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel where staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and provided excellent service. Restaurant food was delicious. Was only a short visit - wish I had longer to enjoy. Reason for visit was gorilla trek. "
Ivy Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The staff made us feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived. The rooftop dining experience was unforgettable - grilled fish, fresh juice, and a view that looks like a postcard. Conveniently close to the border if you're exploring both countries."
Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is the best place to stay in Kinigi/to gorilla trek! It’s the closest lodge to the Dian Fossey campus and women’s village, and the staff is exceptional. They are very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond. We loved that we’d come back to the hotel and they’d clean our shoes and give us a foot massage. They’d also get a fire going in your room while you are having dinner. We’d come back to bed with a heated bed (thanks to a warm water bottle they place in there) and a fire going. We felt we were in the coziest hotel room ever. The food was great too with an ever changing menu. I’d recommend getting the full board. It’d be hard to try restaurants at different lodges, so you’d save money instead of buying the meals separate. Last but not least, the super sweet dog Sparky. He added so much charm and welcomed all guests. We loved having him around so much. "
