Hotels in Burundi

The Urban Lodge is one of the best place I stayed in (and I travel a lot)! The staff and the owner are absolutely lovely and extremely helpful. I had a minor issue in my room and they fixed it right away. The rooms are simple but elegant. The bed is comfortable, the AC is really helping with the heat of Bujumbura, the shower is working well with hot water and good water pressure. You have a mosquito net in the room, but also on the door (so you're double protected and you can leave the door open at night if you don't like the AC). The breakfast is simple, but tasty and everything is very fresh. The rooms are spotless. You are within walking distance from many good restaurants, but you can also easily find a taxi in the street nearby. I have even recommended this place to colleagues coming to Bujumbura and they also loved it.

Very well equipped and managed. Staff are all kind and very helpful. Extra King size bed was comfortable. Breakfast and other dishes were good too.

The pool, room location on the lake, the glorious breakfast, dinner, bar service. Including being able to go from morning swim directly to breakfast (also lakeside). The shop. The drum and dance performance. Staff delightful and accommodating. Room spaciousness and decor, bathroom efficient design. Balcony and its lakeside view. The synchronicity that colleagues happened to be staying there as well resulting in productive meetings, exchanges and planning.

This is a very comfortable hotel with great facilities! The rooms were good sized, and had all comforts that are important in Burundi and that you'd want. Small fridge, bottled water, mosquito netting, A/C (was a nice surprise!) and a great bathroom. The facilities is very nice. Very garden like setting, off a quiet road, and has a beautiful pool with chairs, a gym for your use, balconies for the rooms, and a nice layout. Their are 2 restaurants: the lunch/dinner place is rooftop from teh main building and easy to get to with good food and great service. Good selection of local and 'western' foods and beers. The breakfast place (which I think also has later meals) is across the street on the Lake! very peaceful place to get your start to the day and portions of the included breakfasts are huge. The Safari Gate is relaxing and comfortable. it's probably 2 km from the city center.

Very clean, serene and good staffs. I highly recommend.

The restaurant at the gardens

Real nice rooms, next to the golf course. Friendly staff, close to town. Had dinner there, pretty good!

NOTHING. Absolutely the worst property we have stayed at. Charging USD 85 per night for the most horrible room. no cleanliness. no kettle in the room (even though it's advertised on Booking.com). the room is absolutely horrible. loud gym music throughout the day. we must have stayed in close to 2000 hotels in the past decade, this definitely is the worst of them all. 0 value for money. area around the hotel feels really unsafe. they have advertised "private beach access" - no, they just offer to send you to a paid beach club elsewhere. this hotel is a dilapidated mess. PLEASE STAY AWAY at all costs. The only slight saving grace was the nice and cordial staff - but i feel bad for them for having to work in this absolutely third class hotel. shame also on booking.com for falsely advertising things and facilities about the hotel without even verifying.

The whole personnel at all times had a smiling friendly face, always willing to help regarding our needs.

The breakfast was fine, LOVED the ginger coffee. Staff was very helpful. We love Clovis. Terry (Spelling?) did amazing job pursuing excellent service. He had Clovis walk and get a Taxi for us, you never find that kind of service here. The place was kept clean (Yeah Desire). I appreciated the LOCATION. It is close enough to downtown but far enough away to avoid the FUMES and NOISE of downtown. And having the farmers market so close and ability to pick up a taxi so close was really good. Having the closed gate and security made me feel safe. Enjoyed the pool.

The hotel was clean and in a good location.
