Vacation rentals in Kigali

“Best place to stay in Kigali! If you want to meet a local Rwandan and hear about the country, you must meet Rupert. He has written books on the genocide which he sells. I had a lot of questions about the history and he was able to answer them. Dont be deterred from the appearance of the street leading to his home, the area is safe and there is a 24hr security guard who can even look out for you when you return late. There are always moto taxis available at the top of the street I never had to wait long for one. There are restaurants within walking distance-Fantastic restaurant has an all day buffet for 2USD and live music band on thurs/fri/sat, khana khazana has amazing indian food and the best banana wine/beer (urwagwa/akorosho) i have had in Kigali. There is also Heaven restaurant nearby and free films at the goethe institute nearby on Tuesday evenings. Dont miss Niyo or Inema art galleries they have live performances some days which are only a short moto taxi away. Repub lounge is a quick moto away and has live music and amazing local food 4 nights a week. On the same street is a cheap Rwandan buffet called Afrika Bite. Really the hospitality is so genuine and he really cares about his guests. I would recommend to anyone wanting to connect with the authentic local experience. Plus, Rupert has lived in the west so he knows how to cater to westerners as well.”

“Jean's house was spectacular. The views are absolutely amazing and we enjoyed sitting outside on the patio having breakfast and coffee while enjoying the sunrise and sunsets. The house itself is very clean, modern and spacious. Definitely great value! The place is up in the hills so it's a bit far from the city but you can reach easily with a taxi or moto - the views were worth it! Not to mention Jean and the staff were exception - they really made the stay there extra special with their warmth and flexibility. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in a great place with a stunning view and warm hospitality! ”

“My best stay ever with Airbnb. For those who know Kigali, the location might not seem appealing at first: close to the airport (noise?) and a little decentralized to the rest of the city. But once I reached the place, I got one of the most awesome surprises. The house was stylish with everything self-built. More importantly: everything worked perfectly (fiber internet, good water pressure, hot water that is actually hot! :-D) And a lot of other small details that make the difference between an airbnb and a real good airbnb. And there was absolutely no noise to hear from the nearby airport. My only regret: I stayed there only 2 days :-(”
