This place is ok but Lonely Planet has made it "Top Pick" in Bunyoni and for this reason we expected more. It is inexpensive, rooms are clean and when we were there the power was working and the water was hot. However for somewhere in such a place of beauty, with such an OUTSTANDING view, it is quite souless. The... More

First impression as one arrives at reception - loud music from CD competing with nearby TV. Views great, rooms satisfactory/good. Staff appear to try hard but really have little idea due to an apparent lack of leadership. Meal time always plenty of laughs ( what else could one do) as it was a lottery as to what might be served... More

The views over Lake Bunyonyi have to be some of the best around, but unfortunately that's about all this place has going for it. We didn't sleep here, but we came up twice to eat - once for dinner and once for breakfast (although by the time the food came it was more like lunch). Service was incredibly slow -... More

Rooms (chilly), restaurant (very simple) and location (good) 3 stars only (average) The staff was very good, they brought us coffee in the room in the morning, and we had fun playing snooker and drinking beers with them.. The views over Lake Bunyoni are gorgeous. It looks like Switzerland, but then in the middle of Africa. Very green overlooking the... More

Of course there are all kind of experiences for the same thing, but honestly this hotel at Lake Bunyonyi is not worthy at all. The only thing you can enjoy is the great view of the lake, that's all, but understand you look for something else. We arrived after a long day driving from Nkuringo and we expected to find... More

Stay here for the breath taking view over Lake Bunyonyi. It's remarkably beautiful - the people who setup this lodge at the top of the ridge really knew what they were doing. The cottages are nice enough, spaced apart for privacy, with private balconies overlooking the lake. Don't be concerned if you are staying in one of the cottages with... More

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2009

Largely overlooked by safari operators, this family-run property has been one of our most relaxing stays in all of Uganda. It’s situated on top of a hill, with sweeping vistas of the island-clad Lake Bunyionyi – one of the best views we’ve ever had. Because of the altitude (more than 2300m a.s.l.), it gets quite chilly at night and in... More
