Un coin de Paradis. Entouré de nature, d'authenticité, une nourriture pour le corps et l'esprit excellente. Tout est cultivé sur place. Une équipe formidable. Un décor magnifique créé par Julienne la maitresse de maison qui vous accueille formidablement. Je recommande vivement Rutete.

Thank you for a lovely stay! Highly recommend this place when doing the Akagera safari or just for a getaway. Julienne helped us book the safari with a lovely guide, and served the most delicious local dinner which we had together with the other guests. 10/10!!!

Nous avons passé un superbe séjour en famille à Rutete. Ce fût 2 jours hors du temps dans un endroit magnifique. Les chambres sont spacieuses, très confortables et l’ensemble de l’établissement est décoré avec beaucoup de goût et de finesse. Le soir, sur la grande terrasse commune, on boit un verre, on admire la vue à couper le souffle, en attendant le dîner servit autour d’une grande table dans une ambiance conviviale. Sans oublier le repas qui est excellent. On y goûte toutes sortes de spécialités rwandaise vraiment délicieuses . Le matin, on peut prendre son petit déjeuner très tôt avant de partir pour le parc de l’Akagera.
C’était un séjour magnifique dans un endroit qui l’est encore plus. Merci beaucoup pour l’accueil !

I was here with a good friend. We traveled by motorbike and wanted to fill our rest day with a safari. A great experience. The lodge is great and designed in detail. The food was of high quality. Definitely recommended!

Our stay at Rutete was one of the best experiences in Rwanda. The warmth and love of Julie's hospitality was indescribable; she made us feel so truly cared for. Each night we would have a three course meal lovingly prepared and served with beautiful music. The kindness and care of this stay was like nothing else. I couldn't recommend Rutete more highly. Thank you Julie for the most beautiful stay. xx

Мадам Джулианна создала фешенебельный отель по очень приемлемой цене !
Огромные номера, campfire, а уж ее гастрономические ужины достойны отдельной похвалы и специального визита ! Что мы и сделаем на Новый Год????

Superbe. Cadre splendide dans le respect de la nature et tout le confort en plus . Nombreuses terrasses et coin feu le soir dans le jardin. Petit déjeuner et repas du soir délicieux avec les produits du lodge ou locaux . Accueil chaleureux de Julienne et tout le personnel aux petits soins . Proche du parc et très nombreuses activités. Nous n avons malheureusement pas pu tout faire mais espérons revenir prochainement.

Séjour inoubliable (2 nuits) ! Les lodges sont très confortables, le dîner et le petit déjeuner partagés sur la grande table commune avec les autres voyageurs sont copieux et délicieux. L'endroit respire la sérénité, on s'y sent si bien. Un grand merci à Julienne pour son accueil si chaleureux et son aide pour planifier notre visite d'Akagera et la suite de notre voyage à vélo !

I only stayed for one night at Rutete Eco-Lodge but can warmly recommend it - the lodge, which opened one year ago (summer 2022) has a very nice owner who paid a lot of attention to detail. The lodge is a 10-15 min drive from Akagera NP and located in a small village, so the main source of 'noise' is birds. The cottages are very cute, clean and offer sufficient space. I also liked the B&B vibe - dinner was served for all guests on a big table - and loved the breakfast (I had poached eggs on avocado toast).
There is only one negative aspect, which is to be attributed to the NP, not the owner of the lodge!): guests planning to visit the NP for more than one day have to pay the entrance fee twice.

Rutete is simply magical! The grounds, rooms, and lodge are stunning and the food is delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and beyond helpful. We will remember this stay for years to come.

Wonderful experience. We stayed here before heading into Akagera Park, and found it a delightful place. The landscaping is gorgeous and the location could not be better.
The rooms are lovely, complete with four-poster beds and indoor-outdoor showers. Service is great, and the food was a perfect mix of local cuisine and more general dishes.
Highly recommended if you're in the area. I would definitely stay again.

Endroit fabuleux ! Nous avons été accueillis merveilleusement par Julienne et sommes restés quelques jours de plus après notre visite du parc Akagera tellement nous étions bien ! Les repas sont délicieux, l'infrastructure incroyable et le service 5* ! Encore merci Julienne pour ces moments magiques !

Das Hotel ist einfach eine Oase voller Pflanzen und positiver Energie. Man fühlt dich sehr willkommen und zu Hause. Das Essen ist unvergesslich! Die besten vegetarischen Speisen in höchster Qualität nur leider viel zu viel: Kochbananen, Bohnen, pilzsauce, würzige Saucen, Tomaten, salate, smoothis, süsskartoffeln, yams, Eier, quiche, Eier, Käse...einfach sehr köstlich. serviert wird alles von der bezaubernden, klugen Grace. Die Lage zum Nationalpark ist perfekt. Man würde aber auch gerne tagelang in dem schönen Garten oder im Haupthaus mit Weitblick auf die Landschaft sitzen.

Stop searching for your accommodation in or around Akagera: you've found it! It doesn't get better than Rutete Eco Lodge; the lodges, Julliene's hospitality, the fresh juices from the permaculture garden, multiple course dinners and a generous breakfast are truly the best we've seen in Rwanda. The privacy, tranquility and fair pricing at the lodge is a warm welcome in the sometimes hectic and overpriced Rwanda. Even the tiny little wooden spoons, one each in four (!) different jams served at breakfast, are perfect. You'll come hoping to see the big five in Akagera, you'll leave remembering Julliene and her staff at Rutete Eco Lodge!

One of THE BEST lodge experience we had ! Grace and the team were so nice, rooms are really well decorated and the diner was the best of our trip, with plenty of small dishes the chef had made for us to try revisited Rwandese cuisine. And all this at a very good price, especially compared to other lodges around Akagera. Thanks again for welcoming us !

What a wonderful stay! Julienne was such a lovely host (and her daughter + staff) were so very welcoming. Beautiful garden and high end lodges with comfy beds - all good equipped. Truly recommend having dinner at Rutete for a resonable price. Classic Rwandan cuisine with Belgian influences. The breakfast was also a great start of the safari day. All in all a five star experience! Would def come back.

We enjoyed three wonderful days at Rutete Eco Lodge. Julie is the perfect host and we were so impressed with what she and her incredible staff have accomplished! The meals were generous and delicious, the atmosphere cozy and relaxed. You will be in awe of the natural beauty of the grounds. Thank you Julie!
