Positive: It was so quiet and chilled and the food was excellent. The staff were really friendly as were the other guests….. slept like a log, glorious views from our cabin and there was plenty to do (if u wanted to)…, We did a lovely boat trip around the other islands and a fantastic bike mountain bike ride thru rural Rwanda. We even stopped at a school to meet the children and see them in their classrooms…
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Relaxing and just a perfect break - good to see a different side to Rwanda

Positive: Ruhondo island retreat was fantastic - both in terms of natural beauty and as a gateway to many local community experiences around lake Ruhondo. Jean was amazing and led us on a hike and community visit - he shared awesome info about the area where he was born. The tents were awesome - with great hot water showers. The food was also excellent, the chef Elias did a great job! I would recommend visiting lake Ruhondo , and the retreat, as an alternative to lake Kivu.
Summary: Amazing alternative to Lake Kivu

Positive: What a wonderful place to stay! Once you have managed to find your way through the hills (with the helpful guidance of the manager) you will be rewarded with stunning views on the surrounding nature and a serene environment. If you are travelling with elderly people, accessibility might become a challenge due to the many steps up the island, but staff will go out of their way to help you with this as well. We had a wonderful time. Nice chats by the fireplace, with the lovely owners and other guests, delicious breakfast and dinners and warm roasted peanuts in the afternoon. The tents are cosy and super comfortable, yet still adventurous enough to make for a close-to-nature experience. You can tell that a lot of heart and ideas were invested when designing the grounds. We enjoyed the boat trip on the lake so much. When we left, it was like leaving family. We will definitely return and reminisce about it for a long time to come.
Negative: Suggestion: Maybe install some handrails along the steps down to the lake. :)
Summary: Great place, lovely people

Positive: I really loved my stay on the island! I stayed for 3 days and it was nice and relaxing. Amazingly enough, I was the only guest the entire time I was there! The owners were wonderful and they went out of their way to make me feel welcome and treated me like family. Big shout out to my main man Jean, the manager! He went above and beyond to make sure I had a memorable stay and is a great friend! The food, service and off island experiences were fantastic (Jean is an excellent tour guide and has tons of incredible side trips for you!) The island itself is beautiful and full of life. If you want to have a unique experience in nature, yet enjoy the luxury and comfort of home, then this is the perfect place for you! For me this was the experience of a lifetime! Book yourself a few days at very least, you won’t regret it!
Summary: A paradise like no other!
