I had a mixed experience at Kivu Resort. The welcome was warm and the grounds have beautiful plants, but the rooms could use some serious improvement. The shower was frustratingly weak, and I faced issues with basic amenities. On a positive note, the place is great for birding and there's Wi-Fi available in public areas.
Rooms
5.0
The rooms are basic with some necessary items missing, like a toilet seat and pillow cases. I could tell this hotel is trying to be charming, but I did expect more for my $40 a night.

I wasn't impressed with the service. While the staff were fine, they weren't particularly helpful when I asked for basic things like a mirror.

The location is fantastic for those wanting to explore nearby parks, just a quick five-minute drive to the gate. It definitely makes the lodging feel worthwhile.

The resort has a unique charm with lovely gardens and a decent gym. Unfortunately, the shower's pressure was a letdown.

The resort offers a fantastic swimming pool that's great for families and friends, though it can get a bit crowded. The rooms can be hit or miss, especially in terms of basic amenities. While the gym is a standout feature, some aspects of the room could use improvement, like the shower and Wi-Fi. Overall, it has good value for money but doesn't feel fully polished.

My stay at the Kivu Resort was really enjoyable, especially after a long day of birding and exploring. The warm welcome was a refreshing start, and the improvements made since my last visit, like Wi-Fi around the pool, were great. However, some basic amenities in the rooms were lacking, and service could be more attentive. It's a convenient choice for independent travelers wanting to access the nearby park with ease.

My stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The rooms were generally clean and comfortable, but there were issues with the water supply and the mosquito netting. The facilities, especially the pool, were overcrowded, which was a bit off-putting. Despite these issues, the friendly staff and budget-friendly pricing might make it a reasonable choice for travelers not looking for luxury.
