Liked: Cleanliness
Power went out in the night and when it came back on the tv ended up waking me up. As well when ordering through the menu the waitor advised me and my spouse that the buffet was free for those staying at the hotel, only for when I checked out I had a outstanding bill of 80,000. Train your staff better , because of the risk of missing the ferry back to kampala I agreed to pay 55,000 But I still feel ripped off. Will never book here or stay at Brovad even if it was for free .

No doubt, is the best place to stay in Kalangala, amazing lake view, beautiful green areas, friendly and profesional staff, average food and drinks, however one of the best tilapia I have eaten in Uganda and very nice comfortable rooms. Bad notes: 1. Wifi signal is so bad, I was using my personal data all the time. 2. Rooms need to observe on maintenance, specially a lot of bulbs were fuse, fumigation, and more deep cleaning.
