This wonderful hotel has so many strengths - wonderful service, lovely location, delicious food and comfortable rooms with lovely views. The staff are friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I am looking forward to another stay there in June which is why I was reminded of how much I enjoyed my last...

I've stayed at Hotel Malahide Paradis twice and both times have been exceptional. The staff are professional and super friendly, the food is delicious (especially the pineapple jam included with the complimentary breakfast) and the WiFi makes staying in touch with the outside world possible (even if that's not why you're there!). I loved canoeing out to the private island... More

Unfortunately we only managed to spend a night here. It is 6 kms from Gisenyi. There is a lovely small swimming beach with umbrellas and loungers overlooking the lake. We stayed in a lovely rondavel with a bathroom en suite. The bed was extremely comfortable with a large mosquito net over it. The food was delicious (I recommed the tilapia... More

Beautiful landscape, helpful and really nice people (employees, waiters, etc...) Possible to do some boat trip for free. My better breakfast I have ever eaten in Africa. Very cheap! I recommend this place especially after the gorillas excursion, very relaxing and beautiful garden. You eat and drink a bear almost on lake Kivu. Very calm place and atmosphere.

I had reviewed the property in 2011 but this time wanted to visit their private... More

This place has it all, beautiful rooms, friendly staff, amazing location on the beach and the best restaurant in Gisenyi. We arrived after long day of hiking and gorilla trekking, and the staff were quick to help us with our bags and offer to wash our extremely muddy shoes and pants. Our rooms were large with super comfy beds and... More

Beautiful surroundings, great attention to detail, very attentive staff. I arrived on New Years Eve and unfortunately my guide had failed to book a bungalow but there was space for me at the house up the road. I was driven back and forth from the house to the hotel whenever I wanted and made to feel safe and welcome. The... More

If you want to relax for a couple of days, this is the place for you! We stayed an extra night because we did not want to leave. What a wonderful place. We stayed in the little bungalows which were beautifully furnished and decorated. The food was amazing, best fish ever, try the tilapia in garlic sauce! We especially enjoyed... More

We visit paradise Malahide twice or three times per year and we are always very happy with the professional high standard of service, delicious dishes and the very friendly personal! Greetings Rehema and Hartmut from Gitarama
