We had a wonderful stay at Nkeng's place! He was very welcoming, thoughtful, and always available. The accommodation was beautiful, luxurious, spotless, and very comfortable. Everything was perfectly organized. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality! We highly recommend this place.

Christine, we're touched by your kind words. Knowing that everything felt perfectly organised, and that Urugwiro became such a comfortable base in Kacyiru, means a great deal to us. We would love to welcome you back. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

An exceptional stay from start to finish. The property was absolutely beautiful, elegant, and even more impressive than we expected. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, creating a truly comfortable and luxurious experience. The ambiance, cleanliness, attention to detail, and overall hospitality exceeded our expectations. It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy. We genuinely enjoyed every moment and would be delighted to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined and memorable stay. ✨

Vania, thank you for these beautiful words. Elegance, comfort and privacy are exactly what we want Urugwiro to offer, and we're delighted you found all three. We hope to welcome you again soon. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

Nkengs place was very comfortable and cozy, felt right at home. The home features nice relaxing elements to sit and have tea outside. The home even comes with free Netflix which is a plus to just relax with the loved ones. My favorite feature of the home was the entertainment center. Water pressure is good there plus it comes with private security. All in all the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs and has daily house cleaning. If you’re looking for professionalism team & a place to feel at home I would recommend!!

Darnell, thank you for such a warm review. We're glad Ikaze felt like home from the start, from tea on the patio to relaxed evenings with your loved ones in front of the big screen. The team takes real pride in caring for the house each day, and they will be delighted to read your words. We would love to welcome you back. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

We were a group of 6 and had a memorable stay! Nkeng, the host was responsive and check in was easy. Kelia, the manager made us feel welcome and constantly checked on us. She provided fans for all the rooms as there was no air conditioning in them. Umie, the chef made the most delicious meals and was always intentional in presenting the spread. The cleaner constantly tidied up & the security man was also helpful. The apartment was clean, cozy, and looked exactly like the photos. The location was ideal and directly opposite Le Petite Maison, an upscale restaurant/pizzeria. It's close to stores and the airport. The villa is a new listing but in no time will achieve guest favourite status. We look forward to staying there again and expect there will be more recreational activities like table tennis, snooker, basketball rim and premium amenities like air conditioning in all the rooms and alternative power supply. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves and will surely visit again.

What a generous and detailed review, Ademola. Kelia and Umie will be glad to hear how welcome the six of you felt, and we're delighted the meals were such a highlight. Your suggestions about air conditioning in every room, backup power and more to do at the house have all been passed to the team. We look forward to having your group back. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

Very comfortable place to stay in kigali. It’s in a very central location and short drives to the downtown business area, the convention center and Kimihurura. Kitchen is well equipped, great AC and comfortable beds. Would recommend staying here and will definitely stay again in the future.

Corey, it's good to hear the location worked so well for you. Being central in Kicukiro, with downtown, the Convention Centre and Kimihurura a short drive away, is one of Ikaze's quiet strengths. We're glad the kitchen, the air conditioning and the beds made the rest easy, and we look forward to your next stay. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

Had an amazing stay at Nkeng’s place. Highly recommended!

Verified stay at Amahoro

Akinbamidele, we're so glad you're already planning to come back. The pool and the calm of Amahoro in Kibagabaga are what we love most about the house, and it's good to know they suited you too. Your point about air conditioning in every room is a fair one, and we have shared it with the team. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

We had a fantastic stay. The house is spacious, totally private, and immediately felt like a home away from home. The host was quick to respond to everything we needed. A massive bonus was the huge tv setup, definitely a rare find that made movie nights perfect. Highly recommend!

Mayowa, a house that feels like home from the first evening is what we hope for, so this means a lot. We're glad the big screen made your movie nights, and that we could answer everything you needed quickly. Come back any time. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection
