If you are looking for an authentic Rwandan experience and seeing the local life from inside - this place is for you! I had an amazing stay with Monique, Norbert and their two lovely daughters. They all made sure that I had a very special time here. The house is beautiful and the room is very clean. The food was delicious. Monique and Norb also helped me to organize a treck to see the Twin Lakes and Golden monkeys treck in the Volcanoes national park. Monique also offered to have a city tour with me, seeing the local markets (we did it by boda boda which was an experience in itself :) The family explained to me a lot about Rwandan culture and nature. This was truly one of the best travelling experiences I have ever had. My home away from home! And it was very difficult to say goodbye at the end of this lovely journey together. I really do hope we will meet again and I'm sure our connection will last. Once again, thank you all for making it so special for me!

The host is realy friendly and welcoming. He also works in the local tourism and thus knows great places to visit apart from the gorilla trekking. Our car broke down the morning we wanted to leave and he was a great help with getting the right mechanics.

I was planning to stay one or two nights at Volcano View but ended up staying 5 nights. The rooms are spacious, clean and cozy in a nice house in a residential area. The neighborhood is quiet but yet not so far away from the city center (just a short walk). Isaac and his team have been wonderful hosts. They helped me plan my visits to the Volcanoes National Park and easily arranged transport for the four days I spent there. Everyday my breakfast was on the table at 6am and by 6h30 my lift was ready to take me to the park. I highly recommand this B&B!
