    Firstly they when I asked about prices and online prices as online is cheaper I was told no they don't do online booking only for me to show them such, so I was lied to. Secondly after getting a room which are small, there was no hot water advertised, sockets in room broken so couldn't charge phone, fan doesn't work either, quite a lot of mosquitoes as well. The bedding lacks a upper bed sheet which means the blanket that everyone else has been using previously is against your skin. Also tap on the sink the pressure was so low it barely had any water. I think the business model is all wrong in terms of prices and timings, and rooms need improvement. And as for lake view rooms don't be fooled, you can see the lake if first look through the dinning room area first, so it's not really a lake view.

    Friendly staffs who won't hesitate to go the extra mile to assist a guest. I loved the view of the lake while taking my breakfast. There is room for improvement though, when it comes to pillows, they're hard. I got a neckhache the first night.

    The rooms are good. The sheets on the bed were a tad small. All in all , a good place for just an overnight stay.

  • 5/5 Lifen M. 2 years ago on Google
    I definitely enjoyed staying here. Nice lake view and garden outdoor area with great music.Very friendly staff and the price is very value for the money. The room is generally good as it has a balcony and private bathroom. It is a bit noisy at night but it will be quiet after 9:30pm to 10pm. It is acceptable clean. Generally Very enjoyed the view and the vibe

  • 5/5 Kato I. 4 years ago on Google
    I love this lake because it's the largest man made lake in Uganda. It was constructed on the orders of King Mwanga of Buganda and this makes it a historical place to the people of Buganda. It's one of the tourist attractions in Uganda that need to be renovated but this doesn't stop me from giving the place five stars.

  • 2/5 Ruboni R. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice place but the lake water is dirty with sewage. The community needs to be trained to keep the lake clean and it will be a million solar spot for people in Kampala needing a place to relax.

  • 1/5 Mugi Robby T. 5 years ago on Google
    Not good for swimming, too muddy. A lot of little egrets here, saw the yellow billed stock too and weaver birds more water birds can be seen. You can talked a walk around the lake and seating by the lake you pay 500 Uganda shillings as money for keeping the place clean. There is a canoe you pay less than a dollar to ride you around.

    (Translated by Google) okay. the story behind it is interesting, the lake itself is small and unspectacular. (Original) in Ordnung. die Geschichte dahinter ist interessant, der See an sich klein und unspektakulΓ€r.
