Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I stayed for 5 nights and although I didn’t ask, no one offered to do any cleaning in my room. The tub had a hole in it near the drain and there was no curtain so between the two the floor got really wet. There wasn’t much water pressure and brown and black sediment often came out in the water. There isn’t much beach but the garden area has a great view of Lake Victoria. There are a couple of small restaurants nearby and the zoo is about a 29 minute walk.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is not like the pictures. The property looks nice from the outside but that is not the case for the inside. Upon entering our room, we noticed an infestation of spiders along the curtain and windows. The whole room and bathroom were dirty and poorly maintained. We could not stay. Unfortunately we still had to pay for our two nights. We didn't want to argue and just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. We had stayed all over Uganda for the past 2 weeks and had not seen such a poorly maintained room. Very disappointing.

The guesthouse is okay, although no door to the bathroom. Bathroom filled with lake flies at night as some window vents do not have mosquito net. Bed was comfortable. Room had a big bath but no shower. Breakfast was nice. With some small changes, this place could be great.

I was staying only overnight so it was dark when i arrived and dark when I left. I didn't see the lake but enjoyed the sounds of the waves from my balcony. Service was terrific and the staff was very helpful when I left something behind
