Our hosts, Derek and Angela did everything in their power to make our stay enjoyable. The theme of the site is very authentic and quaint. Full services are available including housekeeping, laundry and wifi. There is a full menu available for breakfast, lunch and dinner and Angela is a great chef. Secrets is clean, safe and very serene. I highly recommend this as a very comfortable accommodation. Dave We had a late flight into Entebbe and so got to the guest house almost close to 2am. Derek and Angela were there and opened the door for us. And then they welcomed us in the main lobby both at that hour happily. Derek assisted us even with carrying our suitcases to the apartment/room, then showed us around the apartment/room. From that time both Derek and Angela made us feel welcome, almost as part of their family. We enjoyed the delicious breakfasts that the great Chef Angela made for us, plus enjoyed Jayden their darling 2 year old's company with us at breakfast most times. Jayden trully brings out the child in us, thanks Jayden. We really appreciated the fact that we had many long days, where we visited family in different cities and got back later at night, and Derek and Angie always opened the door for us without showing us that we were being a 'pain'. We had family in a different part of Entebbe, and could have chosen afterwards to stay closer to them (since they picked us up everyday and dropped us off at the guest house at end of day), however because we really felt home away from home, and the GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE of Derek and Angie we decided to stay here for our entire stay of 10 nights. It trully gave us a break, from our fast pace of life, and their property had a serene environment, clean, quiet, and all Green!! The neighboring sounds of children, Calls to prayer, and occasional cows, pigs, and chickens was a nice reminder of Life and being surrounded by nature - which I personally love! The site has the feel of authenic quaint Uganda -African theme, but with modern interiors - great designs! We appreciated and enjoyed conversations with Angie and Derek. We appreciated tips you shared and provided us, and making us feel like family. Hope we made new friends in Uganda. THANK YOU!!!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Secrets Guest House to anyone looking for a good retreat hotel experience while in Uganda. Rachel

Would stay again the hosts were great and this is a nice get away for privacy and relaxation.

We stayed in the Secrets Guest House for 3 nights, the first two at the start of our jouney through Uganda and our last nigth in Uganda. As promissed, Derek picked us up at the airport late in the evening. As we arrived at the Secrets Guest House we were warmly welcomed by Angela. Our stay was very pleasant, the chalet we slept was very comfortable, we feel like home! Angela cooked very good meals for us and Derek was a great bartender! When we ever go back to Uganda, Secrets Guest House is our first choice.

Angella and her family were lovely and very welcoming. The chalet was very clean and all I needed was available. The bed was very comfy and there was hot water. The wifi is very good and the food delicious!

Derek and Angela are great hosts! The accommodation is very comfortable, the food is great and it was a great place to unwind. Very convenient to the airport in Entebbe.

We just had a quick stay at Secrets but Angela, Nick and family made it so great! They made all of our arrangements for us even without notice, they were so helpful and without them we wouldn't have been able to do what we wanted to do. Plus their place was very cute and the room was great, the photos don't do it justice! It was amazing, thank you.

Very kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Good location, comfortable place, and great food! Very glad to have stayed here!

Angella and Derrick were AMAZING hosts! I stayed at Secrets with my parents, who were visiting Uganda, and it was the perfect, cozy place to relax for the last couple days before they headed home. We enjoyed walking around the botanical gardens, Lake Victoria, and just reading in the room. Delicious food, terrific wifi, and very friendly hosts. Would definitely recommend if you have a couple days in Entebbe and want to relax. Thanks for a great stay and hope to see you again!

Alison and Dave were extremely hospitable during my stay in Entebbe. They were quick to respond to my booking and set up a taxi to pick me up from the airport, who waited despite my late flight. The property itself is very peaceful. 3 guest rooms on the 1st floor with comfortable beds, bed nets, and nice clean bathrooms. There is also a nice living room with many travel books. The yard has a beautiful garden, and the 2nd floor has a nice terrace where you can watch the sunset over Lake Victoria in the company of Alison, Dave, and their two friendly dogs. Alison makes breakfast in the morning to my order. Alison and Dave went out of their way to be helpful. They walked me to a local restaurant my first night, and dropped me at the botanical gardens the next morning. My baggage was delayed and they were extremely helpful in helping me contact the relevant people for delivery to their place, and their staff helped keep contact with the delivery driver late at night. Dave acted as a pseudo-travel guide for me, giving me numbers and logistics for various activities I was interested in, even calling the Uganda Wildlife Authority to see how many gorilla permits were available. They were flexible for me staying extra nights. Can't say enough about how much they made me feel at home. Would definitely stay again, and recommend to others!

Dave and Alison were exceptional hosts, lovely and super kind. There beautiful house is set in an idyllic garden with a stunning view. They were very informative and knowledgable of the area. I had a lovely stay and look forward to my next visit with them in Entebbe.

Excellent.

I had a very nice two-day stay. Hosts are very accommodating and seem happy to sit and chat or leave you in peace. They're also knowledgeable about area/country if you need suggestions. Beautiful garden and sweet dogs. Will definitely book again. Their preferred driver is also good.

DISCOVERING ALISON & DAVE ON AIR B&B WAS ONE OF THE LUCKIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER DONE! I originally had planned to be in a tour group to Uganda but it was cancelled at the last moment. So - knowing very little about Uganda - I went to Air B&B and chose to stay with them because they seemed, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I was so right! First, their home was everything and even more than they advertise - comfortable, immaculate, private, and beautiful. They had a great staff that not only kept the home clean, spotless and in order but was glad to help with errands. They also have a beautiful garden they tend with love and care, and is great for sitting in the shade to read, write postcards, have a drink or play with their smart and friendly pet dogs. Second, their unending helpfulness! - not only would they help me with errands and seeing local sights, but arranged for a very knowledgeable and friendly private driver to take me for almost a week to some of Uganda's greatest sights. He seemed to know most everyone every place we went. (Once, even, I hurt my leg while on our travels and he immediately found, got me an appointment with and took me to good doctor.) Everything they recommended was perfect - restaurants, parks, the gorilla trekking group, mountain and jungle lodges. Without their help I may have spent a week in or close to Entebbe and Kampala. But thanks to them I traveled widely and saw jungles, mountains, gorillas, lions, elephants, crocodiles, a jaguar and more. Their love for Uganda was infectious. Because of Alison and Dave I had a trip and adventure that I had never expected, will never forget and already want to return and do again! And of course to see them, my new friends, again.

Spent 19 nights at Faridah’s place in May 2015 and had a perfect stay. Faridah is a friendly host and will make sure you have a good stay. I recommend this place to fellow travelers.

So nice that we came back for a second trip within a week! Thanks Faridah!

I spent 3 nights @ Faridah's I liked so much my host ... Dearest Faridah went all the way to help me shop .... Very kind of her & really enjoyed our car conversations. It's a bit out of Kampala town... But with a good direction you can get there. Very clean & Cosy accommodation

We found Faridah's apartment to be very welcoming and clean and good value for money. Faridah and her family were also extremely welcoming and kind. The apartment was a short walk from the main road in daytime and could be accessed by car or boda boda motorbike taxis at night. The apartment has a private door however it is not completely self contained as it shares a main door with an apartment below however we did not find it to be a problem. The compound felt safe and secure as it is fully fenced with a locked gate. Faridah was a lovely host who even kindly waited up late for our arrival.

The accommodation was as described and very adequate for our needs and for the price paid. The accommodation is conveniently positioned in between Entebbe Airport and Kampala city. Faridah is a very kind person who went out of her way to help us. I would recommend this comfortable accommodation to budget travelers.

great place to stay, it makes you feel immediately welcome! very clean rooms. I can recommend anyone to stay here

Faridah was very welcoming and flexible. She allowed me to check in to the apartment the same morning on very short notice despite normal check in time being in the afternoon.

Nice and clean apartment , everything you need his there . Nothing is to much for Farida , you can ask her everything! It was a great holiday and for sure I will comeback to there . Thanks for everything Farida!

It was okay

If you want a great place to stay you have found it. Craig is a great host and his place is awesome. His caretakers are excellent and the place is supervised 24 hours a day. The accommodations are great. The place is really neat. There is a hot water system for the shower - and if you are a mzungu - you know that you like hot water showers. There is a nice little kitchen with cook stove and fridge. You will feel safe here. They are very reliable. It's a short walk to Entebbe Road, which is nice because then you don't have to hire a boda just to go up. You have no worries if you book with Craig. Gybaleko to Craig and Charles!!

It is an absolutely gorgeous place! I spent 10 days there just relaxing, watching birds, and playing with the dogs. Amazing view of Lake Victoria even from your bed! Very friendly and helpful hosts, who made me feel like at home. Definitely a must go for nature lovers!

Faith and Wendy are excellent hosts, the apartment is excellent located, near beach, shops, taxis. Safe neighborhood. The place also is very safety. Faith and Wendy were always comunicated with us

Great stay -- thank you for the amazing hospitality. My host went above and beyond to answer questions, and help me organize aspects of my trip. I told her I was thirsty, and she even sent someone to bring bottled water from off the premises because I did not want to drink tap water! I was only in Uganda for one night, but if I ever return I will certainly stay at Serene guesthouse again. They are very kind, the place is clean, and the breakfast was tasty :)

The host canceled this reservation 14 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We went to Entebbe for the World Music Festival at Botanical Gardens and wanted to stay in the near of that place. The Oceanic Motel is very good located at the main road Portal Road. We had some problems to find it, but it is very easy: If you are taking a Matatu from Kampala to Entebbe (3000 Schilling) you have to drive till the big Busstation of Entebbe and if you are watching out for a road sign "Oceanic Motel". Or you call Rus and he will tell you. The Motel is near the Victoria Mall if you need internet. Or your asking the woman who is working there. She speaks very well english and is so friendly. Sadly we had no time to go clubbing with her, but next time we will, cause she proposed us to show the best clubs. They also have a nice Restaurant inside and a small but lovely breakfast. Botanical Gardens is also very near. You can go by feet. There is surprisingly no noise of the main road. So it is a quietly place. We are so happy that we could stay at such a friendly and nice place! Thank you:) Sophie and Eshi

Nice hotel with friendly staff and good service.

We were welcomed warmly by Patrick and the others at Paam Hotel. The rooms are clean. The food was great.

I've stayed in many airbnbs and can honestly say I never felt such a kinship with our host. Ntare was an incredibly welcoming and quite inspiring in other regards - you'll know what I mean if you stay there. My wife and I loved our conversations with him and we look forward to seeing him again. Paam hotel, Ntare, and the other staff were the best possible introduction to Uganda - a country I've already fallen in love with.

Lovely setting, very peaceful and secluded

Under no circumstances go to this person or property. I had to change my arrangements over 4 weeks early from 6 nights to 1 night. Job refused to repay any money. The bed had dirty bedclothes and I had to get clean bedding and make the bed myself. Many other stories I could tell. I do not recommend this property or abnb. They did not want to help me at all.

Nice quiet residence. Raymond, the house help was very nice and supportive

Once again an Amazing experience staying at SINA. I will continue to return every few months...Highly recommend to anyone wishing to have a tranquil experience, you will be treated as family......Thanx Etienne for everything...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at SINA. We were warmly welcomed by the SINA scholars, and the mud hut was comfortable and quiet. It was a peaceful and relaxing break from Kampala's hustle and bustle. The highlight of our stay was meeting several of the SINA scholars and learning about their projects. These young activists, entrepreneurs and artists represent not only the future of Uganda but the future of the world. We would definitely stay with them again!

Once again lovely time in the HUT...Stayed many times before and its still like home

Our stay at SINA was great! Got stuck right in helping make a house from plastic bottles, something I've always heard of, so great to see it done. Lots of good work being done. However aside from a good tour at the begging of our stay, there was not much more 'official ' contact with us so we felt a bit lost occasionally. Extended our stay by a night as it was a great experience.

This place is truly amazing! Beautiful landscape and warm hearted people. we spent 2 really nice days at SINA, couldnt imagine a better Start in Uganda. The mud huts are clean and very cosy. We would defenitely recommend it!

SINA is an amazing place!!! My favorite place in Uganda until now because of the great place that work together to help one another in a practical way. Add to that the amazing accommodation and the scenic serene and peaceful atmosphere, and it becomes indeed a magical place. I suggest you stay here AND see if there is any knowledge you would like to share with the resident scholars at the same time.

SINA is a special place full of optimism and hard working people who work collaboratively on improving their lives the lives of their community and beyond. The location is amazing with views and being on a farm with sustainable practices. People are super friendly and like to meet. The huts are comfortable and big. Overall great experience.

Etienne and his staff, greeted us upon arrival and made us feel like family. This was our 2nd time staying in Mpigi and each time gets even more delightful..

Paris was a great host and gave me the perfekt start for a first time backpacking trip in Afrika. She picked me up from airport and was carring well for me. Thank you so much for that!

Nshemerweire and her husband were wonderful hosts,she picked me up from the airport with short notice.They were very helpful and helped us get around ,the place is nice, beautiful and peaceful.I would definitely come back again . Thanks for everything.
