Monthly Rentals in Butaro

Great house with a wonderful terrace above the lake. No mosquitoes in the house as the host put good mosquito nets and we closed all windows well before sunset. Dinner and beer on the terrace were wonderful. We had stars above and the quiet lake below. Across the lake is a simple village specialised in local beer, grilled pork and simple shopping. It is 500 meters by canoe or motorboat.

Pros: Very beautiful location with volcano views. Host was responsive and the rooms were comfortable. Cons: - difficult to locate and hard access after rains - no mosquito nets - a little awkward to stay in a nice cottage at the top of the hill with running water and electricity when the surrounding village is without

The home is as beautiful as it appears with gorgeous views. Check-in and check-out were easy and hosts were always extremely responsive. As stated in the listing, it is a decent climb up the (uneven) stairs to get to the house, so would be challenging for folks with any mobility issues, but the views are definitely worth it for people who are able, and the house staff met us at the boat to carry bags and offer us walking sticks. The welcome juice was a lovely touch! Kitchen had essentials for cooking, and it was easy enough to get food delivered from My Hill Eco Lodge as well. We also set up both a hike and a boat ride through the folks at the lodge as well, which were both great. Hot water runs on solar so if you're there during cloudy days or rainy season, and you don't have hot water, let the hosts know and they were able to switch it over to electric for us to have hot water. Overall, if you're looking for a lovely, relaxing spot, this is a nice one!

Great please, wonderful host. I definitely will rent the place again..
