    Rooms are a little hot, but adequate fans / keep windows open as all have screens.

    Warm welcome -fantastic food. Wonderful staff -- engaging, kind and helpful. We had a late flight out so hired the room for an additional 1/2 day which allowed for more rest and relaxation before a late flight. Great option available for travelling and off peak times.

    Toilet although appeared to be new had a refill return that went on for ever and it was realty noisy. Renovation /activities started early inspite of the fact that I wanted late check out so slept okay but people doing chores woke me up. The mattress was a abit on the hard side. Parking bays a touch tight ...one had to do a 3 point turn to get out I hate tight or restrictive space...

    Room was spacious and clean. There was flexibility in check out time and breakfast after new year's event that was very important to me. Breakfast provided was sufficient. Service was prompt.

    It would be better still if they fixed the bathroom door in Room 3! Won't close at all, has been the same for more than a year. A small point, otherwise a fabulous place to stay Also the driver charged us when I think the trip should have been free.

    The place is lovely, very peaceful.

    The warm water in our room was not working when we first arrived, but this was fixed. Also, the staff misunderstood when to clean the rooms, but this was also fixed.

    nothing really except they were not planning on us coming and the property was locked when we got there. I had to get the owner out of bed :-)

    Some details were missing, which was a bit disappointing. I had to request the standard bathroom toiletries, the room was hot (and ceiling fan far too loud to use while sleeping), very weak water pressure, and no hot water either day of my stay. I was really looking forward to a bath like my last visit and discovered after unpacking that my room had no tub - shower only. I wish I'd known to request this beforehand. My room was lovely but the closest one to the patio, literally 10 feet from a noisy group of diners until well after I'd have liked to be asleep.

    Staff is fabulous - friendly, available, super helpful. The outdoor area is so great in the evening: great lighting, music, and food. Excellent view.

    Clean, convenient guest house with attentive staff.

    I have stayed here 4 times, beginning in 2013. The ownership has changed at least once since then, and the property is not as well maintained as it was on my first visit. The faucet in the bathroom sink is loose. Large tiles were missing from the bathtub. Little things make a difference. The shampoo/shower gel provided had been used by a previous guest. The mosquito net looked as though it had not been used or washed in a long time. There are some inaccuracies in the Booking.com listing that should be corrected (for instance, it mentions that there is a hair dryer and other amenities which are not in the room).

    The staff is very nice, welcoming and helpful. (Thank you, Abdul for your assistance!). Pick up at the airport is convenient. Location is convenient to the airport and to Entebbe activities. The guest room and common areas are clean and neat. The food is good and well priced. There is a good selection of breakfast choices included in the room price. The price is good, although a little high for the area.

    Combining a guest house and a pub doesn't work. The rooms are next to the terrace. On Saturday night the music and the loud noise from the drunken customers went on until 01.00 at night and it was impossible to sleep.

    The menu was divers (European, Chinese, Indian) and the food was nice except for items with melted cheese (like pizza or cheese omelet) which tasted like plastic. Very friendly staff and nice view over lake Victoria.

    Food was regular. The shower was awful. No water pressure at all, just a few drops made it really difficult to shower. Hot water requires a water heater to be turned on one hour before showering. Arrived at 4am after 15 hours of flight and there was no hot water.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. The garden/eating area has a nice view.

    We booked a 'room with a lake view', which cost more, but were put in a room at the back with no lake view. When I queried this, we were told that the prices had gone up and we would not get any kind of refund
