Bujumbura, Burundi's dynamic city, is experiencing a growth in tourism and business travel. For medium- to long-term visitors, guest houses offer an interesting alternative to traditional hotels. Indeed, they are a type of temporary accommodation similar to a chambre d'hôte or furnished rental, and offer a more intimate atmosphere than a hotel. Temporary homes can offer more affordable rates than hotels, especially for longer stays. What's more, some cottages have fully equipped kitchens, washing machines and other practical facilities, giving you greater autonomy.
