It is located on top of a crater and is nice to be if you need some lonely place to relax. Only disadvantage is that this is very popular with local visitors who come for the swimming pool and Pizza and sometimes tend to be noisy and crowded

We stayed in the family loft with the most gorgeous view! The staff were so flexible in meeting our needs as a "Ugandan-Canadian family" with young children and went out of their way to guide and accomodate us. It was a very reasonably priced weekend holiday as we had breakfast included, bought a great supper in the restaurant one night, and barbecued our own food in the campground another night with the help and company of the staff. Just perfect. We will be back!

We highly recommend BellaVista hotel – great location with amazing crater view, both from the room and of course from the 360 degree restaurant viewpoint. Hotel team is very friendly, caring, patient & attentive (they took care of our family so nicely, making us feel at home). The restaurant serves the tastiest dishes, we thought we're in an Italian restaurant. The room was very clean & comfortable. We enjoyed our stay (5 days) very much, and would like to thanks the team for a wonderful stay and great memories.

Lovely setting but not perfectly maintained

Lovely setting, lovely staff, very good food, nice views. Pool was not well maintained, and the first floor in the otherwise lovely apartment with seaview that we had, was not cleaned recently. That gave a little too many insects in the room and we decided to stay just one night. It felt like the manager was on holidays, and they were not busy, since we were the only guests in the hotel at the time. Beware 4x4 is adviseable to get the last 2 kilometres from highway to crater rim.

Spacious rooms, magnificent view over the crater lake, and very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location to stay and combine the Chimpansee trekking at Kibale. They also helped arranging a local tour around for us. Definitely recommend!

Très bel hôtel dans la région de Kibale. Chambre spacieuse et colorée équipée d'une belle terrasse qui donne sur le cratère du volcan, Excellent petit déjeuner à la carte dans le restaurant qui dispose d'une très belle vue. De plus elle dispose d'une belle piscine très rafraîchissante avec la chaleur ambiante. Personnel très serviable et très accueillant qui vous fait sentir comme chez vous.

Incredible place!! We went to Bella Vista Lodge to rest from a month trio around Uganda. And it has been our little oasis. The food was great, with different options (lagsane, salad, pasta, pizza, meat...). The room were awsome. We stayed in a room with a balcony to the lake. We had lunch there. We really have to thank to Francis, the manager and all the staff. They are all of them incredibly heloful and nice. They made our stay perfect. Ah!! And it has git a swimming pool!
