Jag gillade allt med boendet! Så otroligt fräscht och fint B&B, jättegod frukost samt middag, personalen är 10/10, Kente var så gullig och hjälpsam. Nära till flygplatsen och i ett lugnt område.

Tres désagréable expérience avec le propriétaire.
Il m’a écrit pour m’expliquer que le prix de booking était trop bas, qu’il fallait que je paye d’avantage, que booking se trompait.
Quand je lui ai expliqué que ce problème concernait booking, elle a trouvé mon numéro et m’a envoyé de nombreux message en direct pour me faire comprendre que je devais payer 6$ (!!) de plus.
Ce que j’avais déjà accepté 10 messages plus tôt.
Au moment de payer, pas de carte de crédit acceptée ( ce qui est écrit nulle part) et pas de quoi rendre la monnaie exacte … bref très mauvaise expérience

This facility is home away from home. The warm reception by the proprietress was amazing, she organising my birthday on the day of my arrival without prior notification (21st Nov, my arrival day was my birthday).
The room was as seen online, every gadget was working perfectly, and the facility was exceptionally neat and clean. It's also close to the airport.
All the staff were friendly and kind, especially Anicet. They were always looking out to ensure I am comfortable. They helped organise a budget transport at my request to & fro my destination and guided me on the easiest route.
The breakfast was very good. I had the opportunity to experience different delicacies. I was also linked to Nigerian 🇳🇬 food anytime I needed it.
I strongly recommend this facility for anyone travelling to Kigali. You will get value for your money.
Thank you, Ikaze B&B, for hosting me. I enjoyed my stay and miss you guys.

The host was particularly warm, pleasant and very helpful. My first visit to Kigali, Rwanda. She helped with the transport to and from the airport and to the nearby military hospital. The B & B is close to the airport.Her direction to tourist sites was educated and was very direct and helpful. My stay was barely 2 days but at the end of my stay,I was reasonably confident that I know Kigali. Her rich library of books was very stimulating too. And I joined a mini birthday party she organized impromptu for a guest on the guest's first hour of arrival. This is home away from home. I highly recommend
Ikaze B & B met my needs adequately.

Heerlijk genoten van deze B&B. We lopen stage in Kigali en daar is het super druk. Dus echt fijn om lekker te kunnen ontspannen in deze B&B buiten de stad in rust.
De gastvrouw is super aardig en klantvriendelijk. We voelden ons erg thuis. Ook de jonge werknemer was erg aardig en hielp ons aan de taxi terug naar Kigali stad. We gaan zeker weten vaker langs komen om af en toe te kunnen genieten van de rust hier. Het eten was trouwens ook erg lekker! Kan niks anders geven dan een 10!

Superbe accueil, ambiance familiale, disponibilité du personnel, belle vue sur Kigali depuis le petit balcon de notre chambre, conseils avisés, belles rencontres avec les autres hôtes de passage , hygiène irréprochable …
Rien, même si nous étions un peu loin de tout, ce qui faisait le bonheur des motos taxis !!!

It was a little bit difficult to find the place
9.0
Absolutely loved the place that I was willing to travel for 30mins to & from my meeting venue just so I could stay there.
1. The room was clean & well furnished. I was very impressed. It had amenities such as: drinking water, coffee, sugar, powdered milk, a heating kettle, shower gel, shampoo, shower slippers, a lockable safe etc.
2. The host was very friendly & welcoming so as a staff member called Kientin. He guided me on where I could get what and at what price.
3. The breakfast was magnificent compared to more expensive hotels that my colleagues were staying in.
4. The room had an AC, hotels that cost double the price do not even have ACs.
The only caveat was the location. It is about a 10-15 min drive from the airport. & if you have activities in the CBD it is about 30 mins via motorcycle & 45 mins via taxi. It will take even longer with a taxi due to traffic. It is also significantly expensive to use a taxi. $15 versus about $2 for a motorcycle. I would recommend the motorcycles they are clean & safe so are the roads so you wont get dusty. The only problem is the fumes from the vehicles in the road potential to dirty you.

Very nice and clean accommodation with good value for money. Friendly and helpful staff. We were surprised to find such a high standard at such a good price.
The staff can help you arranging an airport transfer, but make sure that you really agree on the price when you book, to avoid surprises.
The location is perhaps the only downside. Even with limited traffic, it takes you 1/2 hour to the centre (Kiyovu). The booking.com website showed the wrong location on the map. Ikaze B&B is in fact East of the airport, not West, as on the map.

Our airport shuttle was on time and very friendly. Organising a late evening check in was easy and communication prior to our stay was very good. Rooms are comfortable and breakfast was good. Will stay here again!

The staff were incredibly friendly and very attentive and helpful.
Facilities were clean
Breakfast was filling and delicious
Location wise it was quite close to the airport though those looking for an accommodation closer to the action may be left wanting.
However, for myself and my sister it was perfect for an overnight stay before our safari.
Limited TV channels but not really what we were in Rwanda to do so not a con for us.

The welcome was very friendly. The rooms were well equipped and extremely neat and comfortable. The lounge areas were great to sit in and chat. It deserved more stars than the 5s I gave. The taxi that the manager arranged for early morning (5 am) was perfectly on time and we could get to the airport stress free
Nothing to mention - all great

A great place to stay for a couple of nights while in Kigali. Affordable and very clean and a very nice host. Coffee the next morning was great!
A bit out of the way but not far from the airport

Ikaze is a very lovely and peaceful place to stay in Kigali. My host was very lovely and even gave me a ride to town once. She graciously shared her knowledge of Rwanda with me and answered my silly questions. Breakfast was rich and delicious and the other meals I had at Ikaze were also really good. The staff were lovely, especially Keteh. My bed was very comfortable and the sheets felt luxurious. The bathrobe was a plus. There's a market for fruits and vegetables not too far from Ikaze and there are small shops for minor groceries quite close. It was a great stay and I'll certainly recommend it.
Only downside is the distance to the Kigali town centre. On the plus side, taking a Boda (motorbike) to the Memorial only cost about 2500 Rwandan Shillings and the ride was quite scenic. It's a distance to travel though.

The location was fantastic. Noiseless area with clean air was refreshing and relaxing. The amenities were all good throughout the five days I eventually spent.
1. TV in my first was not functional. I was moved to another room on the second day of my stay.
2. Airport shuttle which I asked for in “special request” even though promised/confirmed in a reply I received was totally absent during my arrival and departure.
3. The discount given on Booking.com was completely denied and not considered during payment because it wasn’t showing during payment and no attempt was made by the hotel to contact booking.com for a confirmation of the discount and reconciliation.
4. The property insisted I pay in local currency which was difficult because the hotel had no POS terminal for dollar payment and no bureau de change nearby for FX change.

On arrival at the airport at night, we were told via the taxi driver that we couldn't stay at Ikaze BnB without any reason given and were taken to another hotel. We were told by Ikaze that they would pay the difference in price for the new hotel, however, they didn't stick to their word and we ended up out of pocket. It was almost impossible for us and the hotel to communicate with Ikaze during this time. This was on top of being messaged a few days before our booking to say that the price we'd booked at was being increased since it was apparently incorrectly listed by a third party... Therefore we cannot comment on Ikaze BnB itself but wouldn't recommend it based on the extremely poor communication and ultimately paying almost 50% more than the initial price.
