Reviews of Santaviva Hotel 3*
Review for Santaviva Travel Agency.
My girlfriend and I booked with Santaviva respectively Ivan a 14 days tour in the upper price segment for Uganda/Rwanda (Gorilla trekking) as well as Safari in Tanzania and 4 beach days in Zanzibar (no activities apart from a stone town visit the day we are leaving). It was our most expensive vacation so far (we paid together USD 14'000) and think it was for Santaviva as well.
For the Gorilla trekking, Ivan was very attentive and everything was well organized. He even helped us out and lent me his boots as my luggage did not arrive. If our trip ended there, it would have been 5 stars! But it didnt.
We do not recommend booking anything with Santaviva in another country other than Rwanda/Uganda. In Tanzania we needed another guide/driver (who did a very good job! ) to do the Safari but Ivan joined the tour as well. However, this was absolutely not necessary and we did not see such a set-up of 2 guides with any other tourists (and there were a lot of other tourists…). As newbies and not knowing how things/safaris work in Tanzania we would have expected that we were at least asked about this but we were not. Throughout most of our Tanzania trip it felt like we were 3 tourists and Ivan was just there to take videos and pictures to promote his Santaviva business on social media and have a good time/vacation.
Good rooms are here for good rates in the region of 40K to 150K. This is another good one in Kisoro Town. I love the customer service and customer care. Location is strategic with no noise and accessible in the heart ♥ if Kisoro Town.

Do not expect Wi-Fi in the rooms. The router is located in the restaurant across the courtyard, so internet only works properly in the common area.
The first room we were given was extremely uncomfortable. The only window faced the kitchen washing area where staff clean pots and equipment, with constant noise throughout the day and into the evening. There was almost no natural light, very high humidity, walls covered in moisture, and a strong damp smell. Resting in that room was basically impossible.
There is also a nearby disco pub that plays very loud music until 3 AM, even on weekdays, and the music is clearly heard inside the rooms.
In the late afternoon, after dealing with the noise and humidity all day, we spoke directly with the owner and asked to change rooms at the same rate. After some back and forth, we were moved to a second room for the same price. The improvement was significant, with natural light and a much healthier overall environment.
If you book here, make sure to request a room that does NOT face the kitchen. Also note that the bathrooms inside the rooms have no doors, only a curtain. Shower pressure is extremely low, around 2/10 in both rooms. In the second room there was no hot water, so I had to shower in a third unused room that staff allowed me to use.
The restaurant experience was also disappointing. We ordered a margherita pizza and received a pizza full of random toppings, with ketchup instead of tomato sauce.
