How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewThe stay was fine, but I was very disappointed that the hotel refused to provide a genuine RRA EBM invoice and instead gave me an unofficial receipt. As a paying guest, I expect transparency and compliance with Rwanda’s official business regulations.

Verified reviewMy stay at Nziza View Hotel was absolutely delightful. The breakfast was superb, featuring a variety of homemade dishes that truly made each morning special. The staff was incredibly welcoming and proactive, always ready to assist with any needs that arose. What stood out the most was the continuous support provided by the team, even for very specific personal needs, whether it was guidance for shopping, or navigating specific locations within the city or country. Their dedication to ensuring a comfortable and seamless experience was evident in every interaction. I highly recommend Nziza View Hotel for anyone looking for a warm, accommodating stay with exceptional service. Thank you for making my visit so memorable!

Verified reviewI stayed at Nziza View Hotel during my time in Kigali and had a really good experience. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and situated in a peaceful neighborhood with stunning views of the city. The staff were warm and welcoming, always ready to assist with anything I needed. My room was spacious, tidy, and provided a quiet place to relax before my trip to Akagera National Park. Breakfast was fresh and satisfying, and the restaurant offered a nice selection of both local and international dishes. I also appreciated how calm and laid-back the hotel felt throughout my stay.

Verified reviewWe took overnight bus from Kampala to Kigali and arrived early in the morning. The staff kindly let us check in early, which helped us get a good rest. The room and the view from the property is decent and has a balcony, it's quiet at night. There is also a Chinese resturant nearby and i enjoyed night snack there. The breakfast is neat. The staffs were really friendly and assisted us to call boda boda with a fair price.
The Wifi ran poorly tbh. Since we were only staying in Kigali for 3 days, we didn't have a sim card, which meant we often had no internet access. The location is a bit far from the center and bus garage.

Verified reviewThe location was cool; walking distance from the Genocide Memorial. Breakfast was good, the rooftop patio was lovely.
There is no cover on the duvet, which I find unhygienic and disturbing. The room was set up for one person despite the booking having been made for two; I had to request an extra towel, pillows, etc. There was a smoke detector that kept beeping that the staff couldn't shut up, so I ended up pulling it off the wall and removing the batteries and putting it outside. Not super safe, but worth the risk in order to actually be able to sleep!

We are delighted to hear that you had such a great experience of a cool location, working distance from the Genocide Memorial, good breakfast and lovely rooftop patio.

Verified reviewWe stayed two nights in Nziza View, to visit some sights in Kigali. The hotel is pretty new and located perfectly, at walking distance from the genocide memorial. Rooms are comfortable and have everything one needs for a comfortable stay. The owners made us feel exceptionally welcome, and offered us all assistance to make our stay perfect. Chef Olivier cooks not only great breakfast but also delicious dinner, all being served at the nice rooftop terrace, with Mount Kigali view. We can only recommend this place to anyone looking for a true home away from home when in Kigali.
We liked everything, so nothing.

Verified review-Extremely friendly & helpful Staff: among all the help, general Infos and tips, I was also allowed to leave the room at 3pm, instead of 11 am. I also used their Transfer from/to Airport Service ($15 each way), which I highly suggest. -Very good Food -Good position to quickly reach City center (1.000 Rwf with MotoTaxi). All in all, a pretty new Hotel with small flaws, which once corrected will definitely make this choice one of the best in Kigali, in terms of Price/Quality standing point. Should I choose again a Hotel and not a private apartment for my staying in Kigali, I will definitely pick Nziza View Hotel again. They are Family in Kigali!
-Double Room booked for 2 People, but only one Bedside table and one Bedside electric plug. -Hot water takes 5/10 minutes to come out -Some miscommunication between Staff members -almost every morning (at 6/7 am) there was some noise and loud talking/shouting through the stairs from the Hotel Staff itself.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are delighted to know that you found our staff helpful, airport transfer facilitation, good location to reach City center, price and quality standing point. We regret to hear the inconvenience that did not meet your comfort expectations. We are looking forward into the issues you mentioned as we take with serenity our guests feedback and we assure you the improved service especially on the described issues you meet. We are looking forward to host you once again ! Kind regards. Reservation department
