There un professional ##### Moses Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Fariani 5 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. The staff was unprofessional and unhelpful throughout my visit. There were no taxis available, making transportation a hassle. To make matters worse, the food prices were in dollars, clearly aimed at overcharging guests compared to local rates. The hotel seemed severely understaffed, with only one person responsible for cleaning, which led to delayed and inconsistent housekeeping. There was no water in the fridge, and the TV never worked during my entire stay. Overall, this hotel did not meet even the most basic standards, and I would not recommend it. ##### Fariani Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rasha 25 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities AC was not working, the mosquito net was not closing and I couldn’t open the windows. There were already too many mosquitos in the room. I paid for deluxe room and received a standard room. Breakfast was less than basic. Really not worth the cost. ##### Rasha Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eddie 10 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### great hotel Excellent stay and the food was great ##### Eddie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jakub 30 Mar 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Scam. Don't book it. Although the booking had been confirmed, when we arrived at the hotel we were not let in, the receptionist came to the gate and informed us that they have no rooms avilable and that they were trying to communicate the problem to hotels.com, we were not provided with any alternative and had to arrange an alternative accommodation ourselves. Although we were not allowed to check in the hotel charged us in full and communicated to hotels.com that we were provided with an alternative rooms on the expense of the hotel, which is simply a lie. ##### Jakub Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lord Senti 28 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort The facility is Good, kept clean with good hospitable staff. Their problem is water and electricity. While it might be endemic to the city and country, getting water to wash was a challenge. Low pressure in the taps when there is a moment of flowing water. ##### Lord Senti Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 5 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Charming,small hotel on quiet side street The staff is great, helpful and welcoming, my room was lovely and comfortable, the bathroom large with a good shower. I loved sitting by the small but attractive pool in the well kept garden. I highly recommend this charming hotel. ##### Mary ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bart, Toronto, Canada 3 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Happy to recommend the Dolce Vita If you're looking for the Ritz Carlton, this likely isn't your cup of tea (and good luck finding it in Buja). But this place was an oasis considering the first night I stayed at the Hotel Beausejour Iramya (where one star is too much). Burundi is going through a tough time these days, and it appeared as though I was the only guest for a prolonged period. The staff here were wonderfully accommodating, kind, and resourceful - the speak very good English (rare in Buja), they repaired a pair of shoes I had lost the sole on for less than a dollar, and mended a shirt I managed to put a hole in at the aforementioned awful hotel, making sure the repair was symmetrical on the other side. Amazing. Another reviewer commented on sunbathing - unsure why you'd come here to tan - go to the Club du Lac if you want that. I never used the pool but it looked clean and well kept, especially given surrounding foliage. The surrounding greenery is beautiful, internet was fast enough, AC gloriously cold, mosqui nets high-end top notch wall connected versions, and housekeeping well managed. Safes in all rooms for the security conscious, and decent nightly rates. The food was really excellent - I saw their kitchen and what they can do in there is nothing short of a miracle. Real coffee and croissants in the morning - lovely. It is almost adjacent to the US embassy, but hires only one unarmed guard if that is a concern. In short - a lovely stay, would stay again, would recommend to anyone. ##### Bart ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jagannathan, US 1 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice neighbourhood Airport pick up & drop off free. Beautiful gardens and pleasantly decorated room in a bungalow style hotel. I forgot my jacket in the car & the driver got it back to me. ##### Jagannathan ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### IT IS AFRICA ARRIVED LATE AT NIGHT IN RAIN AND MUD. HOTEL WAS AS SHOWN. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 8 Jun 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Safe, secure, good breakfast - good option This hotel is safe and secure. Not really located in the center, but there is not much to see in the center either. If you are mostly coming to relax, I would recommend staying at a hotel on the lake and take a taxi once or twice to the center, rather than take a taxi each day to the lake as a I did. That being said, the hotel was nice, the staff were friendly and helpful, wifi worked, a/c worked, and breakfast was very good. Very spacious bathroom, They provide you with a robe and slippers. I had room with a patio - but the patio opened onto the public walkway by the stairs - not exactly enticing to sit there. Hotel also had a small pool. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### James, Dar es Salaam 3 Mar 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Disappointing for a Tripadvisor 4.5 star hotel The Dolce Vita is a very pleasant place to stay. What's good. 1. The service is great and very friendly 2. The location is very peaceful and presumably quite secure (near US embassy) 3. The facilities are OK What's not so good. 1. The location, although peaceful, is quite a distance from the town centre, so you will need vehicle transport to get there. 2. Linked to 1. above, there are no obvious places to go out and get food or drinks close to the hotel 3. The rooms have a stale smell 4. The power supply was slightly problematic, although there is a back-up generator 5. The room I was in had a huge bathroom, but tiny shower, with barely enough space to wash comfortably in. Overall, I was disappointed that a hotel with a 4.5 Tripadvisor rating was not better than this. In my view, it's closer to a 3 star rating. They can do much better, with a bit of effort. ##### James ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Feb 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Service I stayed here for one night. Nice rooms, good food in the restaurant. Very kindly and helpful staff. All standarts are on Europe level, not like normally in Africa. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Jan 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Nice hotel in a quiet and secure area Excellent friendly staff, very good breakfast, good kitchen.

We stayed 6 nights at Hotel Dolce Vita and it was superb! The staff is so helpfull and friendly. We don't speak french so when ever we needed to organize something in town one of the staff went with us to translate. I have never stayed at a more welcoming hotel. If you are going to Bujumbura you would be stupid not to stay at Hotel Dolce Vita! ##### Tanya ### 8/10 Good #### Jean-Michel, Canohès 23 Oct 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A recommander! Très bon rapport qualité/prix pour ce petit hôtel à dimension familiale. Quartier un peu excentré mais calme et sûr. Le personnel est particulièrement accueillant et disponible. Cuisine simple mais de qualité. ##### Jean-Michel ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert, Houston, Texas, USA 5 Oct 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel Dolce Vita Resort Was Great! The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Communication was a little difficult at times, as we do not speak French and only a few of the staff spoke English but that was expected before arrival, since English is not generally taught in the schools. The hotel has a backup generator system, so power was quickly re-established when the expected daily/nightly power outages occurred. Our suite & balcony overlooked the garden/pool area and was quite lovely. Although WIFI was furnished at no cost, it proved difficult at times to get a connection and I had to request a router re-boot to continue working. The restaurant & bar had a good selection and the food was quite tasty. Everything was fresh & flavorful. The daily complimentary bottled waters came in handy on our treks into the city. ##### Robert ### 8/10 Good #### Benjamin, NYC 2 Oct 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location and value! The hotel was very clean and the service was excellent. the hotel is well situated and there is good food and a great bar on the rooftop! ##### Benjamin ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Grove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Watford-Hotels-The-Grove.h1754981.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Atlanta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Downtown-Atlanta-Atlanta-Hotels.0-n800004-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Hunting Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loughborough-Hotels-The-Hunting-Lodge.h3969324.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coach House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Coach-House-Inn.h23248579.Hotel-Information) > > [La Maison Bleue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-La-Maison-Bleue-Adults-Only.h8668380.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bantham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bantham-Hotels.d3000456991.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pullman Resort Al Marjan Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ras-Al-Khaimah-Hotels-Marjan-Island-Resort-Spa-Managed-By-ACCOR.h7233276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Machrihanish Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Machrihanish-Beach-Hotels.0-l6093063-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sport Hotel Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldeu-Hotels-Sport-Hotel-Village.h2667730.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Richmond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d5666-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Three Ways House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Campden-Hotels-Three-Ways-House-Hotel.h2665897.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Hilton-Tokyo-Bay.h181856.Hotel-Information) > > [The Welbeck Hotel, by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Oxford-Circus.h8769.Hotel-Information) > > [MOB House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-MOB-House.h67429753.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Sommacampagna (VRN) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/vrn/lgw/verona-to-london) > > [Flights from Portland (PDX) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pdx/sea/portland-to-seattle) > > [Flights from Moscow (SVO) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/svo/lhr/moscow-to-london) > > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Wales (WAA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/waa/southampton-to-wales) ### Cars > [Thrifty Car Rental Car Rentals In Fuerteventura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Fuerteventura.d1263-c45.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Crewe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Crewe.d4613-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Changsha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Changsha.d922.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Mumbles Pier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mumbles-Pier-Swansea.d6086373.Attraction) > > [Ripley's Aquarium of Canada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ripleys-Aquarium-Of-Canada-Downtown-Toronto.d6331837.Attraction) > > [Westport House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Westport-House-Westport.d6085995.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Saint Martin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Martin.dx553248633953926469) > > [Visit Monte Carlo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaco-Monte-Carlo.dx6050686) > > [Visit Chipping Campden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Campden.dx7542)
