I give them a 3-rating because it was not a home as I expected, but the guesthouse was good enough to meet my needs for the two nights. Its a guesthouse with few rooms, well kept compound, and several foreigners on safari. Its quite and you wake up to the singing of birds and some pigs in the neighbourhood. Still run by Alice, talked on phone but did not meet her in person. The room was very clean, hot shower was working, and breakfast was basic as I expected. I ordered an evening meal once and it was well-cooked, the gentleman even went ahead to provide an extra chapati that I had not ordered. The young men employed here were able to organize for my taxis to Entebbe, which was great. There is Wifi, but barely works in the room, you will need to come to the restaurant for better connection. You can pay in USD or Uganda shillings (but as reviewed on another platform, it takes them time to find change. Bring exact amounts). Yes it is a little hidden and difficult to find even for those living in Entebbe, however, Alice always gave directions to my taxi driver. Even though it was not a home as I expected, I would still book this place in future as I love such guesthouses.

Staying at Christine's for two weeks was indeed a home away from home. She has a beautiful home with rooms facing sunrise and sunset. The location is also ideal, close to a market, a main bus stop which takes you to the city, several supermarkets and a good neighbourhood for walking and jogging. Her family was so welcoming - from arranging a taxi to pick me from the airport, offering to make my meals at a really affordable rate, guiding me on how to move around town, and even being there almost every day to share a meal. We spent evenings talking like any family would do and play with her lovely daughter. It was truly a homely experience. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kigali and is interested in living in a family setup. I would love to stay there in the future!
