This place is in need of repair badly. Starting off the internet did not work and we couldn’t get it to work all night. The tv didn’t even have the proper plug to plug it in. So we used our adapter and got it working. It hid ONE channel. The toilet was loose. It would fall over on you if you didn’t watch it. The bed is small. Hot water was not on and after they turned it on and we all waited for it to warm up before taking a shower we had a very had time regulating the temperature. The drain didn’t work so water got all over the bathroom. NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!!! Would not recommend it to anyone. I would never stay here again.

Excellent food, beautiful setting on the lake

Reviewed By Nikhil_Advani

Had a really great stay here for 3 nights over NYE. The room was spacious and in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and the food was excellent! It's a very peaceful place, great star show at night, and has all the amenities you'd expect for a safari lodge. It's very close to Kibale NP where we went chimp tracking, and a bit further to Semuliki, which we did a day trip to.

Kyaninga Royal Cottage

Incredibly relaxing

Reviewed By Mieville

Very nice hotel, with perfectly helpful and friendly staff. William and Nema made our stay unforgettable. We hesitated going because of the distance but William called and asked to help, he was so polite that he made us really decide to come, he helped organise the crater and community tour. William and Nema together with the cook that made us the best dinners since we came to uganda add a perfect flavour to the view and make the experience worth it. They care soo much about little children. I will surely return. Thank you William and Nema and the very friendly cook whose name I didn’t get to know.

Spent a night at Chimpundu on my excursion, in search of the nearby 40+ crater lakes. Chimpundu has great staff, great food and their rooms are spacious and very comfortable. But the location, is perhaps the highlight of it all!

Great place

Reviewed By Explore66688208759

I absolutely recommend Yes Hostel. There’s nothing I found disappointing. The dormitory rooms are clean, the food is very tasty, and the staff members are very friendly. There is hot water in the shower rooms and free soap and towels. And all of this for a very affordable price.

Nyaika Hotel

Very good rooms and Excellent Service

Reviewed By Anand G

The hotel has a good ambiance. The service is top class. The rooms are very good. The property has multiple levels and hence in effect functions as a health resort. The food offered is good and options are wide. A vegetarian like me could survive there without difficulty and even enjoy the food too.

Amazing conference venues

Reviewed By CharlieBeau

Good service and beautiful gardens filled with an unusually good variety of flowering plants. We just stopped by to have a look around and drink a fresh juice. Staff were attentive and we were served quickly. We had a tour of the banda-type rooms, which we liked. Very spacious, clean, each with its own modern fitted bathroom and separate balcony. This would be a good place for groups to stay especially if hiring conference rooms. There's a tiny chapel in the gardens. Kids’ activities (a zip line?) was being constructed at the time of writing. The fashion/ gift shop sells high quality products. I'd like to stay here if I was hosting one of my digital marketing training events. They have two venues for meetings / conferences.

Nice hotel just outside of Fort Portal

Reviewed By 904agnesc

Located on a hill, just outside the busy city of Port Portal. Nice hotel with good, clean rooms and a heavenly shower. Service was very friendly, food was good, location was nice and the service is very friendly. In the big gardens around the buildings, you can spot lots of birds, including Woolly-necked Storks (which was a nice surprise to me).
