    Small issues with the shower pressure but the team helped us very kindly.

    The view on the lake from the bed is breath catching!! We had a tent and it was a first funny experience for us. The bathroom is outside but private just for the 2 of us, with dry toilets. The garden is amazing, with hundred of species and flowers. The restaurant is gorgeous, as well as the food, which was delicious as well. The team is super welcoming also. I liked also the booklet inside the lodge teaching you a bit about how to behave, what is an eco-lodge etc!!

    The view on the Kivu lake and everything is very ecological: dry toilets, water tank for drinking water at your disposal. And the garden is absolutly...edenic! Will come back with pleasure!

    Can only pay by cash. Breakfast not included

    The gardens and the view at Inzu lodge are stunning and there are beautiful birds flying around. The cottage was small but comfortable with a private shower with hot water and a bio toilet. The food at the restaurant was good. The staff were friendly and helpful and there are plenty of activities on offer. The cooking class in the village is recommended.

    The toilet smells a bit.

    I loved the location, and the view of Lake Kivu from the Lodge is magnificent. All the staff are very polite and helpful, too bad I don't know their names. Emanuel, the Receptionist is very kind and supportive. The Tent is very clean and neat. Great value for the money.

    Our only complaints were that you only accept cash- a credit card option would have been really helpful and would have allowed us to buy more at the small shop and buy more food and beverages.

    Absolutely beautiful! The gardens, views, overall aesthetic was wonderful.

    The bathroom was outside of the room and not so easy to get to in the middle of the night. The bed mattress was very very soft and uncomfortable. Payement is in cash which was not specified in advance.

    Beatifull setting with lots of birds and animals in the garden. Decoration is a must.

    Awesome location for starting the Congo-Nile Trail. Good views over the lake and helpful staff. We stayed in an A-frame as well as one of the large tents. Both were simple and small but were all we needed, good spots to hangout at the restaurant and in the garden.

    A little suggestion would be to make sure the soap is topped up in the toilets but otherwise a lovely stay

    This property has so much charm and has been so well thought out. The beds were comfy with mosquito nets. They were beautifully furnished despite being tents. The place was peaceful with a lovely view of the lake. The restaurant especially the breakfast was incredible. We’d recommend the breakfast bowl and French toast. Staff were very friendly and very well placed to start the Congo Nile Trail on foot from this property. Also they had purified water you could fill up at - such a rarity here and saves plastic!
