Nyungwe Top View Hotel

My experience was slightly affected by the fact that I stayed in low season, and at a time when there was political instability along the border with DRC nearby. Hence I was the only guest for most of my time at the hotel which generated a slightly odd feeling. However, the suite I was allocated to was absolutely beautiful, incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean. The view into the rainforest from the private patio at the rear of the suite was fantastic and perfect for relaxation. The quality of the food in the hotel restaurant was of the highest class, and although the waiting staff were possibly slightly over-attentive (because I was the only diner most of the time) they were really friendly & professional. Reception staff gave me great advice regarding how to arrange activities in the park, inc contact details for the park guides. I had a great couple of days at the hotel and would thoroughly recommend it.

We mostly loved our stay here. Friendly staff all around. The bungalows were spacious and the views and grounds were amazing. All of our meals here were delicious and Jean de Amour was a wonderful host throughout all of our meals over four days. We can't thank him enough for his attentiveness. Our boots and gaiters were cleaned which was much appreciated. We absolutely loved the large covered veranda and spent most of our free time out on it watching the birds live their lives. The only two downsides we felt were that although the room was spacious and the fire lit in the room was wonderful, we only took advantage of it one night because the couch in our room was so incredibly uncomfortable that we couldn't really use it. We are convinced it must have just been made for a move set or something (last unit at the end facing west). We thought the room rules were a little strict. We would have loved to enjoy a glass of wine or beer on our lovely veranda in the evenings, but we couldn't unless we paid for room service. We hadn't run across that anywhere else. There was a fridge in the room, but with no outside food or drink and room service fees to bring anything from the dining room to one's room, we weren't exactly sure what the use of it was. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we would return.

Very nice and quite hotel near the park entrance. Nice large rooms with garden views. Hot water bottles placed in your bed to warm your sheets. Friendly and attentive staff. I have food allergies and they offered me alternatives without problem. Scenic view of the area and towards DRC. Nice landscaping.

We stayed 1 night at Hill Top View. The positive - cottages were very clean with a hot shower. Staff was friendly and helpful. We were greeted with a hot towel, fresh squeezed juice and a cookie. Dinner and breakfast was a great buffet spread and they even packed us a boxed lunch for the road. We ordered the lunch the night before from a limited menu but it was tasty and plentiful. Location was easy to get to chimpanzee trek and canopy walk. They even cleaned our muddy boots for us after the trek. They looked brand new after they finished. We just added an additional tip for the amazing staff. Would definitely recommend a stay here. The negative - I can’t think of anything negative to say. Except there are multiple stairways so may not be a good choice if you have mobility issues.

Heel vriendelijk en gastvrij personeel. Lekker eten. Ook de ontbijtboxen die we meekregen voor onze chimpanseetrekking zijn super. Mooie lodge, vanop het terras kan je genieten van de sunbirds die op de bloemen afkomen. Erg comfortabele bedden. Kortom, een heerlijk verblijf in Nyungwe :-)

Stayed here 3 nights while trekking in Nyungwe. Excellent and friendly service, good food. Kudos to our always smiling and attentive server Fabian. Grounds are well kept. Rooms are spacious with large lanai, However, Rooms are a bit older and plain, steep stairs to restaurant.
