      beautiful garden
      comfortable room

      We spent one night here and it was perfect for our early flight. The rooms were comfortable with mosquito nets, and the gardens were beautiful. They even arranged a taxi for us at 4:30 am. A lovely spot!

      unstable connection

      The garden offers a lovely retreat, but the Wi-Fi connection was very unstable and frustrating during my stay.

      beautiful garden
      hot water issues

      The lush gardens provide a peaceful retreat and a beautiful backdrop during your stay.

      The shower was erratic, oscillating between cold and scalding hot water, which was quite uncomfortable.

      poor service
      food quality

      big tropical garden, quiet environment, comfortable rooms

      Upon arrival, I experienced disorganization, such as poor WiFi connectivity!!! The coffee price felt unjustifiably high compared to better options elsewhere. the food quality left much to be desired, which is disappointing!!!

      comfortable vibe
      delicious breakfast
      flexibility in reservations
      dim lighting
      shower issues

      The Triple Room had a comfy vibe, and I couldn’t get enough of the delicious breakfast spread—those fruit salads were next-level! The staff even bent over backward to help us with a last-minute reservation change.

      The lighting was so dim you could barely see your food, and our shower was a bit of a gamble between icy cold and scalding hot. Plus, the breakfast promised in the photos was a bit simpler than expected.

      lush gardens
      dedicated staff
      poor lighting
      slow meal service

      The green, lush gardens were a fantastic backdrop for our family stay. Joshua’s effort to assist us during busy meal times showcased the staff's dedication.

      outdoor play area
      family-owned guesthouse
      flat-screen tv
      limited dinner options

      The kids loved the outdoor play area, and the staff was super friendly. We stayed in a family room which had a flat-screen TV that kept everyone entertained. It was also a nice touch to find that the guesthouse was family-owned.

      My kids wished they had more options in the menu for dinner.

      lush garden

      Recommend it for families with kids

      The nature themed landscaping is awesome. And the kids had a blast running around the lush gardens. The staff were very cute, even though I noticed they could use a bit more help during busy times.

      It wasn’t exactly cheap,, but still reasonable for what we got.

      comfortable sheets
      clean room
      running water issue
      shower electrical problem
      long food preparation

      Convenient for a quick stay with a reliable taxi service at odd hours, as the airport is just a short drive away. The room was tidy with comfortable sheets and mosquito nets over the beds, which was perfect for our family. On the downside, we faced issues with running water and electrical problems in the shower during our stay. While the food was decent, it took a lengthy time to prepare, with the pizza option being faster.

      comfortable bedsheet

      It was just a suitable option for a fleeting pause in Entebbe with good price value. The bedsheets were surprisingly comfortable, making for a restful night. Just order the pizza if you're hungry. it’s delivered fast.

      comfortable apartment
      beautiful gardens

      would definitely visit it again

      The Two-Bedroom Apartment was comfortable, had a nice balcony, and was equipped with a fan and a flat-screen TV. The outdoor area was great for our meeting, and the restaurant served reasonably priced food. The gardens were beautiful, making it a nice spot to relax after a long day.
