Highly recommended - will stay again ##### Mikael Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy 18 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent guesthouse! The Yambi Guesthouse had a lovely at-home feeling. The staff and other guests were all super friendly and welcoming. Patrick the manager had a wealth of knowledge to share and helped us to get organized each day. He was also very interesting to chat with. Linda (not sure of her title) also helped us with organizing a day trip to the national wildlife reserve the night beforehand - everything she did was quick, efficient and friendly. Alphonse and Anastace cooked us so much delicious food and I enjoyed chatting with them. The location is a bit out of the way, but taxis and moto-taxis can be arranged and the public bus is nearby as well. The room was comfortable and quiet and the property has a lovely view of Kigali too. ##### Lucy ### 8/10 Good #### JEFFREY 14 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The guesthouse is exceptionally clean and the gardens are beautiful and peaceful. I spent many hours just relaxing there. They have good wifi and a bar with a wide selection of beer. The food is well-prepared and the kitchen staff is very accommodating. The guesthouse is out of the way. You can walk into town in about 20 minutes, but the house is on a dirt road for the first part of your walk. After that the walk is easy. There are not many choices for food within a 10 minute walk although there is (usually) a chef on staff to make you a meal. The staff is able to arrange transportation for you into town but note that many Moto drivers may not know the location of the guesthouse when you are trying to get back, so make sure to take the address with you. You would probably have better luck with a taxi although that would be more expensive. The staff is helpful if you ask them, but if you are used to staff approaching you to see if you doing well, you will need to temper that expectation. I did have a shirt lost in their laundry there, but they were very helpful in working that out with me. Note that some rooms do not have a bathroom, so you would be sharing one with other guests. This wasn't a problem for me, but you may want to ask when you are booking a room. Overall, the guesthouse is a good choice for a comfortable, clean budget accommodation (if you don't mind that it is somewhat out of the way) and a very relaxing place to stay. ##### JEFFREY Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Guesthouse au top Excellent accueil.

A home away from home, wonderful staff, good food and even it is a bit from downtown, that does not really matter in Kigali as everything is so spread out. And the owner Patrick is the best. Book him for a day sightseeing in town, and he shows you all the good spots for culture, eating and drinking. I am a journalist, and have seldom had a better and more knowledgeable guide. ##### Torild Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vee, Greater Philadelphia area 9 Nov 2017 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Hugely disappointing Consider Room Ratings NA The profile provided by Expedia for the guest house as best deal and well rated seemed false to me, another registered guest with me, and the local driver who drove us in from the airport. The location is quite remote from the city, unpaved and dusty access road for quite a bit of the distance, and surroundigs and waiting area of substandard appearance. Given this shocking situation, we decided against looking at the bedroom, eating the dinner we had pre-requested; we did not check in. This was about 10pm. With the help of our driver we found and checked into the first hotel with room availability that was safe, tidy and close to the city center- for a room rate more than double Yambi Guesthouse rate ##### Vee Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phil 16 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Yambi opened up Rwanda/Kigali for us We stayed in a couple of other hotels in Kigali before making it to Yambi, and it really opened up the city to us. It was really comfortable, we felt like we were in Rwanda, and the staff and food was great! We got good guidance from the folks running Yambi on how to move around the city more easily and they basically filled up our evenings with recommendations that were all solid. I couldn't recommend Yambi more highly- really great! ##### Phil Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyn 22 Sept 2025 ##### Lyn Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HARUKA 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### HARUKA Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Magnus 6 Nov 2023 ##### Magnus Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mack 24 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Mack Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zakariya 19 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Zakariya Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aidan 2 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Aidan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trude 27 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Trude Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jens 29 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jens Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruno 18 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Bruno Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Nusk Al Madinah Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Medina-Hotels-Nusk-Al-Madinah-Hotel.h20214336.Hotel-Information) > > [LABRANDA Playa Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tias-Hotels-LABRANDA-Playa-Club.h1384773.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Provincetown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Provincetown-Hotels.d2909.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Spa Hotels in Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d4609-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Fethiye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Fethiye-Hotels.s50-0-d6341134.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Waterpark in Slovenia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Slovenia-Waterpark-Hotel.0-0-d11413-twaterparkhotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Garner Hotel Preston Samlesbury by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Preston-Hotels-Samlesbury-Hotel.h1103033.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Entertainment in Northern Ireland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Northern-Ireland-Hotel-With-Entertainment.0-0-d11221-thotelwithentertainment.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Budapest Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Budapest-Marriott-Hotel.h2531.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramnee Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Forres-Hotels-Ramnee-Hotel.h11741856.Hotel-Information) > > [Sands Studio & Samphire Studio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Ives-Hotels-Sands-Studio-Samphire-Studio.h24942125.Hotel-Information) > > [MS Royal Ruby Nile Cruise, from Luxor or Aswan (Mon-Fri, Fri-Mon)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luxor-Hotels-MS-Royal-Ruby-Nile-Cruise.h25012951.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Malcom and Barret](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valencia-Hotels-Hotel-Malcom-And-Barret.h523263.Hotel-Information) > > [Vagabond Soho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Vagabond-SOHO.h45408276.Hotel-Information) > > [Tamarind Tree Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nairobi-Hotels-Tamarind-Tree-Hotel.h20610178.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Dubai Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Marina-Dubai-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6147415-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Al Zorah Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Al-Zorah-Beach-Resort.h17905889.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Korotogo-Hotels-Outrigger-Fiji-Beach-Resort.h564500.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Wolverhampton -
