Gorgeous property, a really unique experience. They organised a boat trip for us, went kayaking, had massages and relaxed enjoying the river view. It was amazing and one of our favourite hotels we've stayed at to date.

The place is beautiful, peaceful and charming. The delicious community dinner is a great way to get to meet new people. I loved the bike trip & kayaking on the lake. The message was brillant as well. All is wonderful.
You have to leave the lounge area at 11pm.

I loved the community dinner concept of getting to dine with new people everyday. I love that every day is different. Different people, meals and experiences 💯
Didn't find any shower shoes and house keeping was abit lacking.

the property is secluded and within a rural part of Rwanda and is simply magical. 1 day is simply not enough time, i recommend a min. 2 day stay so you can really rest and enjoy the property. there’s lots of nature around you and a lot of activities you can do like kayaking, massage, a community walk and bird watching so there’s plenty that you can do while also ensuring you relax.
the food was really amazing, especially the communal dinner, the bed was super comfortable and there was plenty of hot water! honestly there’s nothing to fault - it was the perfect stay.
the team is so amazing, but tend to take some time to respond to messages on bookings.com so just expect some delays. they offer hotel transfers which I recommend you use, just ensure you finalize this well in advance of your travel.

Location and view are excellent, nice dinner. We appreciate the kayak excursion on the lake.
Breakfast quite limited. Lunch poor.
Advice: the fake gas fireplace should be replace with a real one.

I recently stayed at this hotel with my girlfriend on Valentine's Day, and I have nothing but great things to say about our experience. From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful, and we were impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail throughout the property.
The room itself was beautiful, with a serene view of the lake and surrounding landscape that made our stay even more relaxing. We appreciated the comfortable bed, the modern amenities, and the overall atmosphere of the room.
One of the highlights of our stay was the idea of communal dining, which allowed us to meet other guests and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. The food was exceptional, and we enjoyed every moment of the experience.
In addition to the communal dining, the hotel offered a variety of activities that kept us entertained throughout our stay. From tennis to kayaking, we had plenty of options to choose from and loved every moment.
Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway (romantic or otherwise). The staff, the room, the dining experience, and the activities all exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely give it a 5-star rating.
Loved everything about UMVA

The delicious food and generous catering throughout the day, great atmosphere, very kind staff, beautiful natural surroundings, excellent communal dinners, the retreat feel of the place overall, the fantastic cottage and secluded private space I stayed in
The noise from the gun shooting going on nearby for many hours ever day (which was in marked contrast to the retreat feel of UMVA)
The noise from the maintenance works on the premises (ongoing for several days)

Such as incredible stay at Umva! I felt at home right away. Diane, Janet and Joan are very caring and provided us with an amazing service. Jado was great to help us do kayaking and tennis. And the chef cooked us a delicious diner. My favorite part of this place remains the design and architecture, unlike anything I had seen before. I will come back for sure, very soon I hope.

UMVA Muhazi is AMAZING! The views, the structure and design of the space, the food, the activities, the hospitality and attention to details all contributed to a wonderful stay and escape from Kigali! I came for just a day mid-week and returned to Kigali feeling so refreshed. The staff are friendly, attentive, and polite, and were always ready to help out. The clay tennis court with a view of lake Muhazi makes UMVA probably one of my favorite places to play and I am sure that Rafael Nadal would agree if he gave it a try :) I will definitely be back!

The location is so convenient from Kigali, making this the perfect getaway. From start to finish we the experience at UMVA was incredible. We were greeted warmly by the staff who knew us by name, offered us a delicious welcome juice, and ushered us to our rooms. The rooms were so well-designed with beautiful architecture. The shower was amazing. We spent the afternoon kayaking, standup paddleboarding, and playing tennis. We joined the other guests for a community dinner, which was the best part of the trip. The 6-course meal was sublime, each dish was delicious and beautifully displayed, and we enjoyed getting to know the other guests while we dined. We all sat by the fire after dinner. The following morning we had a delicious breakfast, spent more time kayaking on the lake and playing tennis, before sadly departing back to Kigali. We will certainly be back many times, and I highly recommend UMVA Muhazi as your next Rwanda destination.

UMVA Muhazi is a beautiful lodge throughout. the architecture with its rammed earth walls as a centrepiece is stunning and blends very well with the preserved natural surrounding. All the design features and the addition of art pieces in selected spots are very thoughtful and draw the eye. The staff are incredibly attentive and polite, and always ready to help- whether with a special meal request or sports activities of which UMVA Muhazi offers many! Last but not least- the 6-course dinner was fantastic. The food was delicious, every course was creatively crafted and they were even able to accommodate for my food intolerances.
