    Nothing, everything was great!

    We absolutely loved our stay at Buutu Nest! This is a beautiful small 5 room inn with an outstanding breakfast. Best of all are the staff here, everyone here was amazingly helpful and kind during our stay! We really appreciated all of the valuable help planing the rest of our time in Eastern Africa! We loved it so much we extended our stay!

    The walls are quite thin, so sound travels easily, making conversations less private than we would have liked. And you can get woken up in the mornings with neighbours and roosters.

    Buutu Nest is a comfortable and clean place to stay, with a cozy common area perfect for relaxing. The warm showers and reliable WiFi made our stay even better. The friendly staff were always welcoming, and we appreciated the availability of drinking water. Its location is excellent—within walking distance to the city center, the Source of the Nile viewpoint, and the Gandhi Memorial. Additionally, the activities offered here are well-organized and fairly priced. Overall, an amazing place to stay.

    Bit further from the main street, still walking distance though. For us the tranquility was a plus.

    Super friendly staff, one of the best breakfasts in the country and consistent in its quality of service (we've returned three times so far). Also has some great restaurants in the neighbourhood.

    The bathroom. Had the shower on top of the toilet, and the whole bathroom gets wet when showering. Doesn't have small square tables in the dining area for 2 or 4 people. Has only big long tables, and if there are many quests, they would all sit at the same long table without having privacy.

    It was clean and the breakfast was good.

    All the staff in Buutu Nest is extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. No matter if you need some recommandation for eating, sightseeing or activities, they will always have some inspiring ideas for you. Alan and Robert were very helpful with organising tubing on the Nile, a rainforest walk and a budget safari in murchison falls nationalparc for us. (I need to emphasise, that they don't try to sell their own packages, even though they're operating rafting and safari tours themselves, but really take into account your personal needs and wishes!) Big bonus is the great breakfast, that is freshly prepared by Rosette and Judith every morning. The two of them are two happy faces, always giving you the feeling to be very welcome at that place. They also took good care of our laundry, that was washed (by hand!), dried, ironed and delivered in one day. Thank you very much for making Buutu Nest a home for us.

    I loved everything. My namesake Rosette was generous, polite, patient, and pleasant. If there was a bedside lamp so I didn't leave my bed to turnoff lights, toiletries or a warning telling me to bring my own, you would have scored exceptional. I will definitely return!

    There was a dog at night, and we don't like dogs. There's need to use orthopaedic grade mattresses instead of the common soft mattresses, from a medical point of view...

    The staff were welcoming and was a quiet environment worth spending a night resting. Clean room and nice spacious lounge, that currently doubles as a dining. Compound was clean and green.

    There was no hot water in my room and they offered to move me to another room which was very nice.

    Such a beautiful property, extremely relaxing and lovely big rooms with plenty of space inside and out. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The breakfast is delicious and such a nice way to start the day. I will be back to stay again.
