"The minimum facilities are acceptable, and the staff is helpful. But much remains to be done, particularly regarding power supply disruptions. Solutions do exist, however. Why not install solar panels?"

"The hotel is in Kinindo which is slightly outside the city. The road leading to the hotel is not tarred. The room is spacious but the bathroom can benefit from some repairs. As an aside, the exchange rate at the airport was bad but how else can anyone get into the city otherwise. I changed USD30 and that was barely enough to get me to the hotel (I had to negotiate the fare). I changed USD3 with the hotel personnel and took a minibus to the city and another one minibus (at another minibus station (bound for Maramvya) and got down at the roundabout outside the airport and it only cost BUF600+1100 or less than USD1!"

"Well located, clean, calm and relaxing"

"Pathetic service, disgusting,slow and don't care attitude. Lacks proper management Had to wait for 2.5hrs vefore any waiter could come take our order after begging them. My kast time to ever be in this hotel."

"I did not stay at the hotel, but went for diner with my wife, for her Bday. I heard so much about it and but was not really impressed. I ordered a BP cheese burger, and on arrival the fries were cold and not crispy. the burger was decent, but I had better in Bujumbura for way less money. My wife had the local Sangala, and that was cooked to perfection. Service initially was good, but they forgot to order the desert, so we waited for 20 min in vain, for a Tiramisu....It is expensive for the quality you receive."

"I had at least $1,000 stolen from my hotel room by the cleaning staff. They steal your dollars and then exchange them for counterfeit money to put back in your pocket. 🌝🌝🌝 The hotel was nice, but the behavior of some hotel staff was unacceptable. Oh well, consider it a lesson learned. I left my money in the room, giving them the opportunity."

"The hotel itself did not strike me as exceptional. The room I was in, although with a view to the golf course, looks a bit dated, and the air extractor in the bathroom was too noisy. The staff, however, was very welcoming. They speak both English and French quite fluently. The best feature is the restaurant, the food is just excellent (tried some restaurants in Bujumbura and none really compares)."

"Feel at home while experiencing a complete change of scenery! Ideally located in the mountains, surrounded by greenery, with a magnificent view of the lake. High-quality construction, tastefully decorated, comfortable rooms, well-designed layout, and above all, exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The experienced and well-trained staff are attentive to your needs and available while remaining discreet. Laura, the concierge, is an endless source of excellent recommendations and solutions. In addition to being very kind and professional, she understands your needs and isn't afraid to go the extra mile for the well-being of her guests. To truly feel like you're in a hotel, you can ask the chef to prepare your meals (I highly recommend his beef with vegetables – a delight!) or, if like me you enjoy cooking, the well-equipped American-style kitchen is always available. Furthermore, the spacious and comfortable dining room is at your disposal. (Don't hesitate to ask Laura for good places to buy your food; you'll find a wide variety of quality meats and vegetables.) Pierre, the owner, is a very cultured man who knows the country well; in fact, he built the hotel himself. He lives on the premises and ensures that everything is always well-maintained and that the staff provides consistently high-quality service. He has thought of everything to ensure his guests have everything they need for their comfort and safety. Whether traveling alone, as a couple, or with family, Goodlife Residence is the perfect place to stay in Bujumbura!"

"I stayed at Maratha hotel for six nights. The staff at the front desk were friendly and provided an efficient check in. The room was really lovely with good view. The linens on the bed were very comfortable and clean. The staff were excellent and most of the time they ordered a taxi to take me around. I had a wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone staying in the Bujumbura."
