Un séjour d'exception au Umutuzo Lodge

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour au Umutuzo Lodge. Une vue imprenable sur le lac Kivu, un personnel attentionné, des activités de qualité, des lodges confortables... que demander de plus ?

Magnifique cadre apaisant.. L'architecture des cottages , ma décoration des chambres , ma douche en extérieure. La piscine top.

Un ventilateur ou une climatisation fait du bien dans la chambre.. Des petits équipements en salle de bains seraient les bienvenus (brosse à dents, Charlotte, chaussons).

La gentillesse du personnel L'espace piscine

- Gros point noir : la cuisine. Pendant trois repas nous avons eu le même plat (poisson/boeuf/poulet grillé, légumes vapeur). Il a fallu qu'on insiste pour avoir quelque chose d'autre. Pas de dessert, soupe en entrée le soir uniquement Il serait bon d'etablir des menus du jour changeants pour guider le client Repas cher pour un seul plat ! - on a été déçu par l'absence de cocktail au bar. Avec un si beau coucher de soleil et cadre on aurait aimé une petite carte de cocktails - activités mal planifiées : quand on a voulu faire une excursion en bateau, rien n'était prêt alors que nous avions confirmé la veille. Il serait bon d'instaurer un cahier/tableau d'activités

Little peace of paradise in Rwanda

10.0

We were received very kindly by Eric upon arrival, and after a short walk down to our house, we were pleasantly surprised. A beautiful, spacious room with a fantastic shower, even one outside. But then the view, wow, that made us very happy. Every evening we ate in the restaurant and enjoyed the chef's food it whas delicious! We were there to rest for a few days after our round tour. At our request the staff even brought our breakfast to our cottage and nothing was too much trouble for them. The pool is amazing, and we spent quite a lot of time in it. They also offer trips, but we didn't make use of them because we wanted to do absolutely nothing for a few day's after tiring days in Rwanda. We loved the atmosfere so much that we extended our stay with 1 extra day. Thank you to the best staff of Umutuzo lodge and thank you Philippe for the nice dinner together! Feedback sturen
