Set in Kigali, within 3.2 km of Niyo Arts Gallery and 6.4 km of Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial, PEACE Homes offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is located 6.9 km from Kigali Centenary Park, 7.5 km from Kigali Convention Centre and 37 km from Nyamata Genocide Museum. Kigali Genocide Memorial is 2.3 km from the guest house and Ivuka Arts Studio is 4.7 km away.

Like Leed Homes, this guesthouse is located in Gisozi. Moreover, it shares the same management. A major difference is Peace Homes has a garden and a pleasant terrace. It is also a bit closer to a local market and to downtown (4.2 km from Kigali City Tower). A supermarket selling Dutch whole wheat bread is just a 15 minute walk away. Facilities are good. Wifi worked well most of the time (only three interruptions over a one month period). Hot shower is better than average. Most rooms are spacious, especially if you are just one person. Beds are comfortable. Mosquito repellent was provided and effective. The kitchen facility is rather basic, but good enough to prepare meals. Excellent service is provided by an assistant on site who speaks English, French, Swahili and Kinyarwanda. He is available 24/7! Recently the breakfast provision has been improved. It used to be the same every day (two-egg omelet, two slices of white bread and tea), but the last week of my stay it was almost different every day e.g. with some veggies added to the omelet or chips.

    Great location. Near several restaurants. Shopping centre is about a kilometre away. Churches also near by. Not far from the city centre. The Host is very helpful and assisted me to get car hire, food and information about Kigali. Thanks too for the Kola nuts, highly appreciated. They can get Naija meals/ snacks from a near-by restaurant. The staff are also friendly and helpful. Meals can be cooked for you at an extra charge, there is a stay in friendly caretaker who doubles as the cook. Overall, I had a great stay.
