Lovely views over the lake
Pros:

Lovely location by the lake. Great birding - weavers in the garden trees. Restaurant food was basic but adequate. Forest walk was lovely apart from the huge pile of plastic garbage which could so easily be removed.

Cons:

Extra bed had no mosquito net. Staff were great apart from “supervisor” who spent all the time on his phone or turning speakers to high. Noisy from local village. You CANNOT swim in the lake due to bilharzia - they did not tell us this, we found it out.

Toller Ort zum Entspannen Hi
Pros:

Die Hotelanlage liegt direkt am Wasser. Man hat einen wunderbaren Blick über die sehr schöne Umgebung.
Vor Ort gibt es ugandisches Essen und eine Bar sowie ein gemütliches Restaurant.
Das Hotel ist ein wenig außerhalb des Ortes, denOet kann man gut zu Fuß oder auch mit dem Shuttle des Hotels erreichen.
Zur Anlage gehören auch ein Pool und viele Sitzecken.
Wer Lust hat die Gegend zu Fuß zu erkunden, kann an der kostenlosen Walking-Tour teilnehmen.
Insgesamt ein passender Ort um sich vom städtischen Trubel zu erholen und ein wenig Entspannung zu bekommen.

Cons:

Die Anlage wirkt recht alt und hat schon viele Jahre gesehen.
Man sollte sich auf häufige Stromausfälle, kein W-Lan und ein bisschen langsames Personal einstellen.
Extraleistungen werden zu übertrieben hohen Preisen angeboten.

Overall very disappointing, old and smelly furniture and bedsheets, uneducated staff
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Old and smelly , plus no coffee and water for breakfast. They charged us extra for Water.
Food on the menu was not available, tv was not working, phone in the room was not working. Plus price on the booking website was different from the one they charged- they charged more.

Pros:

Sijainti kiva, mutta Victoriajärvessä ei voi uida loisriskin vuoksi.
Rauhaisa alue, kaunista luontoa. Hotellilta voi tilata opastetun sademetsäkävelyn.

Cons:

Ruoka ei ollut erityisen hyvää. Uima-allas sijaitsi aivan ruokailualueen yhteydessä.
