Maddy's Kitchen and Accomodation in Gisenyi provides accommodation with a garden and a bar. This guest house provides free private parking, full-day security and free WiFi.

The family-friendly restaurant at the guest house serves African cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch.

What a gem! While the rooms are basic (as advertised), the bed was comfy, shower hot, breakfast amazing, and staff was lovely. Such a good value for your money, especially if not looking for all the frills. Location is right by the lake and a short walk to lots of restaurants.

    The guesthouse is located a 10-minute walk from the bus station, on a side street with minimal traffic. The owners are extremely kind and create a unique, laid-back atmosphere. The breakfasts are delicious and more than sufficient.

    Spacious room, good wifi and the breakfast is amazing (fresh fruits, fresh juice, coffee or tea, omelette, pancake) and served in a beautiful garden. We left a charger and a book accidentally at the guesthouse and Francois arranged for it to be sent with matatus (shared taxis) to our next destination, which was very kind.

    It was a very lovely place to stay in. We were lucky to be the first people to be hosted in their villa, a lovely place with an amazing veranda. The host, Francois, was amazing and went far and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable stay. The place is well located and most things are within walkable distance. I would say that my favorite thing was the breakfast, the crepes, and the homemade jam were divine!! I will definitely be coming back!
