Kayonza Hotels with Free Breakfast

The lodge really is nice. That said there are some serious issues. We prepaid our stay via Accor. The front desk staff insisted that I pay again for the accommodation because my receipt for full payment was a mistake. They insisted that I pay via a third party link. I refused and opened an investigation with Accor. Accor confirmed that I had prepaid and I am awaiting an explanation from the hotel - they have not replied to me or Accor in 10 days. I believe that the front desk manager, Mary, and possibly others are running a scam. I discussed this with others in Rwanda and, it seems, Mantis is known for ‘billing issues’. Some basic issues are the food - overpriced and poor quality - and the lack of water. You’re not allowed single use plastic bottles in the park and the hotel only provides two 330ml bottles per room per day. Bring 5+ litre bottles to refill. In short, a good place to stay if you bring water but be careful for fraud.
