Pros:

Ήταν ένα ζεστό κατάλυμα κοντά τοσο στη λίμνη Βικτωρία οσο και στο κεντρο του Εντέμπε!! Το προσωπικό ηταν καταπληκτικό! Με υποδέχτηκαν με χαρά και με έκαναν να νιώσω σαν το σπίτι μου! Με εξυπηρέτησαν σε ο,τι χρειάστηκα! Επίσης,το πρωινό ηταν μοναδικό και περιελάμβανε μεγάλη ποικιλία!!! Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα σε όποιον αναζητά μια ήρεμη και ασφαλή διαμονή στο Εντεμπε!

The accommodation exceeded my expectations. I received a very warm welcome, safe transport
Pros:

The accommodation was a perfect choice for my first night in Uganda. I felt very safe and well taken care of. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and helpful – their hospitality was out of this world. If I could, I would choose this guesthouse again without hesitation.

AMAZING 😻 A MUST !!
Pros:

The staff are the BEST : super kind and helpful. I arrived late at night, tired. They made the registration process very easy and fast. They gave me a very nice large room which I did not expect to get. I was expecting a small room. Bathroom is spacious unlike most others Ugandan guest houses I’ve been to.
Breakfast was so Awesome!! I usually just have fruits and they gave me 2 very yummy fruit plates: mango pineapple passion fruit and avocado!! All made to order as I refused other options like eggs and bread. First time I had healthy food in Uganda!! I started eating immediately so I forgot to take photos. 😞
The place is close to all major sites: beaches, restaurants, malls and downtown.

Cons:

Nothing. Because everything was great !!

An authentic Ugandan hospitality experience!
Pros:

I had a wondweful stay at this hotel! The staff provided exquisite treatment, always friendly and attentive to any needs I had. The breakfast was a delighful highlight included in the stay and featuring the high quality, authentic products of Uganda. The generous portions truly made my mornings special, it is indeed renowned for its high quality coffee and delicious frutis such as mangoes, pineapples, bananas and passion fruits, are enjoyed. The owners and the hotel team are genuinely kind and fantastic people, making the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended for a warm and authentic Ugandan hospitality experience!

my very brief stay at Gorilla Neighbor Guest House will be a memorable part of my three weeks in Uganda. It was a great
Pros:

From the moment I arrived after booking the same day I had a very wonderful experience. The staff greeted me with big smiles and welcoming conversation and gestures. I was offered some soothing warm tea, which was perfect as I look forward to a restful evening. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the property very attractive and safe and pretty. The breakfast was out of this world with fruit and toast and juice and omelette and coffee that was included in the price. I felt like a queen. I highly recommend if you’re flying into Entebbe or spending time here for other reasons. It is a gem!

Cons:

there’s nothing I didn’t like about the property. The staff immediately responded to any requests I had and offered me a nicer room than I had booked. Their generosity and authenticity were tangible.

True Ugandan hospitality! I recommend!
Pros:

If you are looking for a place located quite close to the airport but far from the noisy city where you can relax and regenerate - this is the right place. The owners of the guesthouse make every effort to make you feel special.
They can even prepare breakfast for dinner if you leave very early :)
Best regards and .. I hope to see you soon.

Beautiful, welcomed, helpful staff, great location
Pros:

Everything!

I stayed here the end of January as I started my self drive safari Uganda.

From the moment I arrived it was the warmest reception, being shown my beautiful room (awesome bed), location perfect (mall is close by), and breakfast outstanding.

Do yourself a favour, book here.

(I'm a month late writing this review... and during all this time, this guest house is still the best.)

Cons:

That I had to leave.

Hospitality 10/10!
Pros:

Staying here provided me with just the comfort and positive energy I needed. Hospitality was amazing, especially Agnes deserves a special mention for making me feel so welcome and making sure everything was A-OK. Since I was the only guest at the time, they upgraded me to their best room, a very nice gesture. Breakfast each morning was an absolute delight, with abundant fresh fruits, bread, eggs and even the strong black coffee I like. The place is conveniently located. Wonderful, highly recommended!

Cons:

Nothing at all.
