    The room we had originally booked (executive suite) was not available, so we were moved to a different room. I had thought we would get a discount for not getting the room originally booked, but they said that since we booked through Booking.com and not directly through them, it was not possible. The difference was only $5 so I didn't make a big deal of it. The door to the room opened up right to the parking lot. This made it feel less private and a bit noisy. I wouldn't have minded if the door had a second lock given its proximity to the parking lot and the street.

    The breakfast was amazing - very large and customizable. It was free with the stay, but we might even return just for breakfast without staying because it was such good value. We liked our room. It was very large with a big bed. It had a private patio, which was nice. Bathroom was a bit dated, but shower was hot with good water pressure.

    A check up on the rooms to ensure they are clean and are not infested with snails My first night I was put into a room next to the bar with loud music

    The place needs some proper refurbishments. The rooms and furniture are showing their age.

    They offer a generous breakfast selection, yet very unflexible. I asked for chapati instead of bread with the egg, leaving out all other items. Still they had to charge extra for that. Seems petty. Towels in the Sauna are a bit too little, you wouldn't want to use the cushions on their seats with those...

    A scenic location with good restaurants and shops nearby (own restaurant good as well). Sauna nice hot and dry. If you have a lot to do in the city-centre, Muyenga is impractical because traffic to that side is a grinder.

    Unfortunately wifi was a huge struggle although they tried their best which meant I had to move rooms twice. Not good enough to do work calls.

    In a way, the pictures of the room are better than what they actually are as the view isn‘t that great from most rooms. Staff was excellent, nice breakfast, great spa. Highly recommend the Moroccan bath.

    Could have been better table service, on one day our lunch dishes were still on the table when we returned later in the day for dinner. I thought that was very bad and lacked supervision.

    The area of Muyenga Tank Hill is very safe to walk, a lot of green, and lovely people. With swimming pools, quiz nights, and a bustling Muyenga Rd around, it falls nothing short of the perfect location for your stay in Kampala. The staff at Kampala Forest Resort is attentive, very helpful and makes you feel so welcomed.

    The bar is playing quite loud music up to midnight. If you want to go to sleep early, bring ear plugs. The shower didn't have warm water on the days when I was there, but maybe that was a temporary issue.

    Very nice location on top of a hill with big trees and a nice view on the lake. Nice place away from polluted air and the noise from the city centre. The room was not very spacious, but big enough for me. I liked the food offered in the restaurant.
