The best accommodations Burundi

This high-end tourist complex had its first hour of glory in the late 1980 s («holiday club») and had to be abandoned with the crisis of 1993 and the war. Since 2005, managed by an Italian, the hotel has been tastefully renovated and is now a chic and rated address of Bujumbura. Located on the shore of the lake, it offers spacious and bright rooms, furnished with natural materials (wood, rattan, cotton) in a sustainable optics (solar panels).

The complex is equipped with bar, snack bar on the beach, restaurant, shop and disco. Various facilities are offered to guests (conference rooms, gymnastics, sauna, playground for children), as well as sports or leisure activities (pool with children's/adult pools, massage, tennis, beach volleyball, windsurf, windsurfing and the rental of the Anna boat for $ 50 per day). Tourist excursions in the country (all-terrain vehicle, driver) can be arranged with guide.

With one of Burundi's largest hospitality capacities, this hotel in front of the «Congolese market» continues to be called «Le Méridien». Opened in the 1980 s, he maintained his rank until the 2000 s, but since then the renovations have not allowed him to be held at the same time. An ongoing project would be its recovery by the group of luxury hotels Serena. The modern and spacious rooms all overlook the rear of the hotel, the lake side. Guests have a bar-lounge on the ground floor and a restaurant, «Ikiyaga», on the edge of the pool (European and African cuisine, on average 15 000 BIF the dish).

On the shores of Lake Tanganyika, the place is unique to relax when you have the means. The duplex rooms are a delight. Tile on the floor, local decor sober and tasteful, intimate staircase to reach on the upstairs bedroom (balcony and bathroom). On the ground floor, lounge and kitchenette to eat on the thumb, or invite friends. The rooms of the rooms overlook the big lawn of the Kiboko Grill, with its swimming pool with original curves and a bar with TV screens. Even without staying there, the hotel is worth a visit. The wall of the mouth overlooks the lake, but the space is very strong. Saturday and Sunday, karaoke of the evening is pleasant in the garden.

500 m from Resha resort by going to Rumonge. Opened at the end of 2009 by Fred-Bosco Nimubona and his wife Aline (who also leads the Manaf Tour and Travel agency, Burundi Tours), this hotel-restaurant of all beauty features exotic architecture and original decorations (tree trunks, mosaics sculpture). It is an exceptional place with its long sandy beach and its panoramic pontoon. The staff, from the manager to the servers, is particularly open and welcoming. Guests can play tennis, volleyball or beach football on dedicated spaces. The management also offers boat tours or visits to the nearby reserves near Rumonge (Vyanda to see chimpanzees, Rumonge, Kigwena). Find out on site or at Manaf-Burundi Tours for conditions and rates.

This large, double-storey hotel opened at the end of 2012 has become the most luxurious hotel in Ngozi. Located in the Gabiro district, behind Leo's offices or Care, the whole is indeed successful. From the lobby you can see the large bar in the bar and the dining room with its beautiful columns. The rooms are tastefully furnished.

This beautiful place located in a street on the left just after the bridge Muha, on the road to Rumonge, is managed by Jacques Experienced, a French established in Burundi for a long time, and his son Joshua. The villa and its annexes are on a beautiful tree plot (with swimming pool). The rooms are studio or loft, furnished with taste and noble materials. Opened in 1993, the address is known to expatriates (consultants, diplomats…), but without the means of personal locomotion, the access is a little difficult, the taxis are raréfiant at the bridge of La. It is also regrettable that the relationship between management and staff is so bad and squandering the atmosphere.

Just a few hundred metres from the RN 5, between the BCB agency and the communal basketball field, this establishment is an essential sociability with public television and table tennis. The rooms are on the back, to help.

A few rooms in this house at the exit of Gitega (Rutonde). Very clean, even though it's a little distance from the center. Floribert's welcome is all that you're looking for and feel like staying. The Pit Fit Bar-Restaurant is just a few steps away.

Just after the Hotel Sangwe, and on the same side of the street, this single-storey house offers rudimentary rooms, awarded at their rates.

An old and simple hotel, with adequate accommodation comfort for the rooms. The reception of Emmanuel is smiling and warm. It should be noted that a series of small hotels follow the national road after Gloria in the same style and type of fares, which are alternatives to Muremera if Gloria is complete: on the right, Equatorial Hotel (+257 79 811 048), or on the left the Just Hotel (+257 22 30 20 52) and the Wonderful Guest House (+257 22 30 27 21 or +257 71 740 269).

This former Novotel should, after complete renovation work, become a Hilton Group hotel. But it is difficult to say when this recovery will be effective. At the moment, even though its pool, its shops on the ground floor and its conference rooms continue to make Water Front a busy place, the hotel's hotel is stagnating a little and does not really meet the standards of the posted class. The restaurant still works, as well as the bar, not unpleasant (Wi-fi access for non-residents 3 000 BIF per day).

Located at a strategic location, as it faces the entrance of the Internal intelligence services (SNR), this hotel is located near the cathedral, on the left hand side of the street on the left by the boulevard of 28 November. It is often complete. His welcome is warm and personalized, but it is regrettable that the prices advertised in dollars to foreigners are far from those requested from Burundians (from 15 000 BIF to 25 000 OFI, which does not correspond to the exchange rate). The rooms and the pieces of water are small and the bed bed is small, but the outer frame is pleasant. A restaurant serves various Burundian and international dishes every day.

Like almost anywhere in the country, it is possible to stay in one of the rooms offered by the sisters at the mission. Low prices and summary comfort, but always cordial. Please inform the mission about availability and conditions.

In the heart of Cankuzo, metres from the station, this sober guest offers comfortable rooms for their price.

Located on the left bank of the Ruvubu (22 km from Muyinga), not far from the bridge, this cottage, held by INECN guards, was renovated only in the mid s. The comfort is spartan, but the atmosphere of night unforgettable!

The hotel is located opposite Karuzi parish on the road to Mutumba in the east. It is a small hotel without having the rooms good for this price. We also say "at Csio," but the one who manages everything here is Swazi.

The house, difficult to find, lies near the provincial governor's palace, a track on the left. Quickly filled due to its exigüité, it is a kitsch strand, with frescoes of animals in the garden of Eden. An address in case… which really is worth it if the owner, the volubly Marie-Jeanne Tugazukize, is present (second phone number): informative on the disciminations made to Twa, she is an excellent ambassador for whom she would like to meet them.

An establishment close to Guest House Cankuzo, with simple services and quite rudimentary rooms. For small budgets.

A good value for money. You don't have to expect a palace, but comfort and hospitality are honest and caring.

The rooms are very comfortable, the location is pleasant and the price is good.
