Has Potential
The guesthouse is okay, although no door to the bathroom. Bathroom filled with lake flies at night as some window vents do not have mosquito net.
Bed was comfortable. Room had a big bath but no shower.
Breakfast was nice.
With some small changes, this place could be great.

I stayed for a month at this excellent mid range hotel. During my time there we had plentiful hot water, toiletries in the bathroom, fully operational AC, fast Wifi and a working TV. The bedroom was slightly smaller than average, probably due to the super king-size bed which tended to dominate the room. Having said that the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was pretty standard for a hotel of this size and price, consisting of fruits, eggs, toast, the occasional sausage and very tasty sauted vegetables. The location was amazing, sitting on the Lakeshore and the restaurant stood head and shoulders above it's nearby competitors. At weekends it does become very busy and I would suggest reserving a table in advance. The food and service at the bar were very good with many different options. The most popular selection at the restaurant appeared to be Tilapia which was hug As a non fish I am unable to comment on the quality. Most people were unable to eat it all and had it packed to takeaway. I loved their authentic curries and their wood fired pizzas. During the week it was very quiet and spent hours sat at beach bar enjoying the plentiful wild life. I cannot speak highly enough about the staff. The management team were great and are currently upgrading the facility at pace. As you can probably gather that my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return again in the new year. Thanks Trevor and Loise

There were a few things which we had no control over. There was no hot water and you could not control the AC thermostat. Whenever we called the receptionist regarding the hot water, they stated that we would get it in a little while. That while never came…………

Awful experience with rooms and amenities at this hotel, rooms were outdated, with no proper air-conditioning and running hot water. Our first stay in Uganda was disappointing, this hotel is unhygienic with rodents in the outdoor kitchen at night. Though the location is excellent, the overall stay was unpleasant and uncomfortable 😞. A hotel to avoid unless management does a thorough remodeling of the rooms and kitchen.

The stay was quite uncomfortable. There was no water pressure in the sinks and showers in the bathroom. And there was no hot water. So after a long and tiring journey from the USA, we were unable to have even a decent wash and shower. Basic amenities were also lacking such as inadequate toiletries. Additionally, the air conditioner was malfunctioning and the remote to operate it was unavailable. The complaint to management fell on deaf ears. Truly a sad experience for place that otherwise has a nice location.

location good, but the hotel was tacky! Tiny room, 1 AC remote for all rooms. No glasses to drink from, dim bulb, so couldn't see, overflowing dustbin, so room not cleaned properly. NO HOT WATER! Had to have a cold shower after a long journey! Overall a bad experience
