The setting is beautiful with great views of the lake. The tents are clean but very basic and cheap. The internet only works at the restaurant, not in the rooms. It is also very annoying that they don't take credit cards, only cash. The road to reach the lodge is very steep and super bumpy, I did it with a 4wd but I wouldn't risk a nice car to go up. Food is good but slow, especially for breakfast if you need an early start. Ask the reception for a tour of the lake in the late afternoon to see the fishermen setting up their nets.

Great stay- I would come again.
What a charming and relaxing stay I had at this lodge. I brought friends and we had a marvelous time!
The staff was excellent. Everything was clean. The food was very good. Great location. On a main road so easy to get to.
I would stay here again.

Cutest little lodge! Reminded me a bit of summer camp in the best way. Our hut was cozy and enjoyed the fire out front at night. Food at the restaurant was great, we especially loved the sambaza as part of the traditional Rwandan meal. all in all a great stay!

Cosy tents located in a beautiful garden space with a nice view of the lake! Calm atmosphere except for some music from neighbouring bars at the weekend. You will find everything you need at Inzu Lodge for a relaxing stay: great food, excellent cocktails and a beautiful souvenir shop.

Paradise resort set in a beautiful garden full of flowers and nature. Beautiful views of Lake Kivu. Restaurant is rather simple and WiFi unfortunately does not work on the whole property but only in the restaurant. Friendly staff who go out of their way to make it as pleasant as possible. Be sure to take a boat trip on Lake Kivu and go to the hot springs at Rubavu.

Inzu lodge is set up a steep hill which means you have stunning views of lake Kivu when you are there. We camped in our own tent and the eco shower was hot and clean. There was the option of flushing or compost toilet. The food is wonderful. Some of the best value and more unusual vegetarian or vegan choices in Rwanda. I love the presentation on banana leaves of some dishes. The only thing is the tents you stay in could be revamped to be a bit more stylish. They are currently basic, but serve their purpose.

It's a beautiful property but not on the lake. The tents are very nice and the beds are comfortable. I was disappointed in the substantial markup fees for activities. I've been to the lake several times and know what things cost but the hotel was adding a surplus beyond reasonable. The breakfast is good and the dinner was good enough.

Inzu was a great stop off for us in Gisenyi. The views of the lake from our tent and the grounds were beautiful. The tent was very basic with shared bathrooms, but comfortable and a good deal. The restaurant was very good with a big menu selection for such a small hotel - and they had EVERYTHING on the menu. So often you see a great menu, only to be told much of it is not available. We arranged a local walking tour and a boat ride from the front desk and really enjoyed it. It seemed much more authentic than other tours we have taken. Another surprise was to wake up and find them washing our (filthy!) rental car one morning. What a treat. The final 100 meters to the hotel is a steep and rocky drive, but very manageable.
