Book a hotel in Rwanda at the best price
In Rwanda, the classification of hotels as such is absent - the only criterion by which at least somehow one can assess the level of housing is its price. It should be noted that the cost of living in Rwanda is higher than in neighboring Uganda and Tanzania.
Very average housing will cost tourists from $ 8 to $ 20 per day. At the same time, bank cards are not accepted for payment in all hotels. It should be noted that the level of service in hotels of any level in Rwanda is not particularly high.
Expert Reviews of Rwanda Hotels
In Rwanda, you are primarily invited to stop in the lodges - wooden guest houses, collected in small camps in the nature reserves of the country. They often go here for the sake of eco-tourism and safaris, so the lodges are so in demand.
As for hotels in the classical form - there are not so many in Rwanda. And although their number grows annually, there are still not enough rooms for everyone who wishes to visit Rwanda during the high season. If you plan to travel here from September to February - be concerned about booking ahead of time.
Also here it is quite possible to live in the homes of local residents, who settle mainly on the slopes of the hills and on their peaks. The traditional aboriginal home is a small house in the form of a hive with clay walls painted with national ornaments.
Where to settle in Rwanda
In the province of Kigali you can find several good hotels, among which is the well-known film "Hotel Rwanda" - Hotel des Milles Collines. However, in the film itself the hotel was removed before the thorough renovation and reconstruction. In general, there are more high-level hotels, which can not be said about the country as a whole: the average cost of a hotel room here is $ 50 or more.
However, you can still find cheap housing here - for example, a hotel at the Catholic St. Paul's Women's Catholic Monastery right in the center of the city, behind the St. Paul's Church. Double rooms (although without a bathroom) will cost the guests 8000 Rwandan francs (about $ 13) per day.
