10/10 Exceptional

Bird lovers should flock here
Waking up from a quiet night's sleep on a comfortable mattress with spotless sheets and walking out to sit on Claire's veranda to bird watch each morning was the highlight of my day. A hamerkop, bulbuls and mousebirds (among 10+ other types) came to visit while storks, pied kingfishers and even African greys flew by. A monkey on a neighboring roof was seen too. All this nature, yet five minutes walk to the lakeshore lined with restaurants and less than 15 minutes walk to the Carrefour.

Amazing introduction to Uganda (again). Free and convenient transport to the hotel and I would recommend this place to anyone arriving at Entebbe. Claire was gracious and very helpful. I am looking forward to going back there and explore the area.

NO AIRPORT PICKUP
There is no airport collection. As this is probably the only reason you would choose it over anywhere else, best to avoid this place. I hate these liars

10/10 Exceptional

Claire was an incredible host, very warm and welcoming. The house was very comfortable with a kitchen to use, a main living room to hang out in, and a lovely veranda and garden. The location is also really good, at just a few minutes walk from the beach, many restaurants, and the Victoria mall. I would definitely stay here again!
