5/10
Pros:

The atmosphere and the layout of the ground is very good.

Cons:

The furnitures in the room is very poor quality and is not fit for such quality hotel of such a standard. The water pressure is very low couldn’t get hot water to have a shower despite changing room on the second day. By 9am breakfast is done. No honey, not fruits and no milk left.

Enjoyable and friendly. Would recommend
Pros:

Space, it large and environmentally friendly trees and flowers all around the property. Staff were very friendly except there was no one at the gate when we arrived.

Cons:

The distance from the rooms and the bar and restaurant is a 5/10. If it’s raining I can imagine either coming for breakfast or missing breakfast. Construction is still going on in some part of the property woken up by loud nice from work men.

We highly recommend Kacoke Madit to anyone looking for a welcoming and culturally enriching visit.
Pros:

Our stay at Kacoke Madit was truly special, thanks to the warm hospitality of the owner and staff. We were honored to be invited to a Christmas gathering, where we experienced an authentic Acholi performance. It was a beautiful and vibrant showcase of local culture, making the evening even more memorable.

The hotel itself is well-kept, with comfortable rooms and excellent service. Our room was equipped with a fridge and a coffee pot, which added to the convenience and comfort of our stay. The staff was attentive and ensured we had everything we needed. The location is also convenient, making it easy to explore the area.

Superb
Pros:

This is my third time staying here. It's a beautiful place, with lots of green, flowers, and artistic designs. The room was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and there was a functional phone in the room to reach the staff. The breakfast is good enough and the staff exhibit superior customer care. Always at hand to offer help. Oh and one more thing, they have little bottles of Shea butter cream in every room for body use. Shea butter is native to the area and I love that they promote the Northern Uganda cultural aspects as seen by the elephant symbol in the compound.

Spacious and quite stay a bit outside of the city
Pros:

The staff were wonderful and accommodating. The rooms are spacious and new.

Cons:

It is a relatively new hotel and they are currently building a gym and a pool will be built soon. So right now there is some construction, but I look forward to coming back and seeing the final results.

Very comfortable. Can't recommend highly enough forety, peace, calm, comfort, and culture at out
Pros:

What a place! A calm slice of rural Acholi life 10 mins out of Gulu. Comfortable, clean, and modern rooms, with excellent views over the river and surrounding countryside. A wonderful bar and dining area and a Great outdoor area to relax by a fire or watch the football on a huge screen.

The highlights, however, are the peace, quiet, local bird and wildlife, and the cultural activities which seems to occur frequently. Watching local dancers and musicians practice was an absolute pleasure.

Already looking forward to my return.

Cons:

The hotel was in the middle of a menu change and it wasn't all that clear what was available at the restaurant. I'm sure this is a temporary issue. Food was good. Breakfast could offer some more alternatives.
