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!!

Gorilla African Guest House was peaceful, comfortable and the staff was very friendly. We had a great night after walking all the way from Kampala. I will definitely recommend it to others.

We had a comfortable stay at Gorilla African Guest House. It's a quiet place, though slightly off the main road. The service in the restaurant is a tad slow, though you can order in advance , or just lounge around if not in a hurry. The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included in our booking, and it turned out to be a fixed plate system. Overall, value for money.

This is a really nice guesthouse but unfortunately they have real problems supplying problems to the rooms at the back of the property. My boyfriend and I are well used to African power cuts but this was a problem with the hotel's electrics, not the local power supply. We were without electricity (and therefore hot water/fan/phone chargers) for two of the four nights we were there. All night long. And during the days a few times as well (although we were out during this time). We would notify them but frequently it wasn't fixed until hours later or it was fixed only to go off again minutes later. We also had the dubious pleasure of being awoken in the mornings by the sound of squealing pigs. I think next door keeps them and boy do they make a racket. Not the fault of the guesthouse at all but worth noting nonetheless. I can sleep through a lot of things but there's something about porcine screams that penetrate your very soul. The only other quibble is the location, a bit far from the town/zoo/botanical gardens/sights in Entebbe and not really walking distance. To get out and about we'd advise you to walk down the road and hail a boda rather than rely on the hotel to call you a cab since you will end up waiting half an hour and paying over the odds. Now the pros: Peaceful, clean, nicely decorated and comfortable rooms and a decent bar area (Special shout out to Adam the barman, who is a really nice guy and a good barman too) although you'll be better off going out for dinner since the food isn't much to shout about. NB wifi is only available in the reception area and - fine for (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)/(SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and a bit of light surfing but not really strong enough to work, if that's what you're after. The included breakfast is decent enough and pretty standard for this part of the world - omelette, toast, fruit and coffee/tea. The hot water (when it was on) was fantastic and good shower pressure. We were their first AirBnB guests and overall I'd say that once they get their electricity issues sorted, they offer good value for money and an attractive little spot to base yourself in Entebbe.

We had a nice stay at gorilla guesthouse. It is clean and quiet and people at the reception are caring for the guests. Thank you. Seeing you soon again! Markus and Angie and family.

Fine - but at the price, there may be nicer places to stay in the area - quite a bit cheaper if you book directly.

Place was fine. Clean. Nice garden and light breakfast.

I really enjoyed staying at the Gorilla African Guest House and will use them again for future trips. The room was large with a king-sized bed, sitting area, private bathroom, writing desk and breakfast table. Mosquito netting was provided for the bed as well as a fan and tv. Wifi was also provided. The manager, James, was very helpful and welcoming. There is a small restaurant onsite with good food. I had the whole fish with french fries and cole slaw for about 25,000 shillings. I also had an omlette breakfast with toast and coffee the next morning that was included with my stay. The only drawback was that the power went out in the morning and we did not have use of the generator. However, this is not uncommon in Uganda and my friends staying at The Protea Hotel experienced the same power interruption that morning.

As advertised. Good rate for what you get.

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

To stay at Leslie's house I a pleasure. She is very friendly and helpful. I will be back next time.

Staying at Leslie's was such a joy! Having stayed in Entebbe on numerous occasions and for extended periods of time, I think there aren't many options better than this. The whole environment is very relaxing and they've done a beautiful job setting up the guest house in the back. It's the little touches that just show how sweet Leslie and Jan are - from fresh banana bread and eggs from their chickens in the morning, to a few extra bottles of wine and soda on hand that you can buy just to make the evenings in Entebbe a little better, to Leslie sharing some delicious homemade gazpacho with me when I arrived in the evening after a long drive from upcountry. Every little thing just made my stay a lovely experience. The whole place felt like a little oasis. Visiting for research, it was great to just sit out on their terrace and get some work done with the lush garden right beside you. And by far, my favourite part was breakfast in the morning and getting to chat with the two of them. They are such kind and welcoming people - I can't imagine anyone wouldn't love staying here for a few days when passing through town. Highly highly recommended!

How to describe this place without seeming hyperbolic? Leslie is a wonderful cook and I had a simple, delicious breakfast on a cool patio next to the promised permaculture garden. It was easy to find, close enough to a main road that boda-bodas are inexpensive and the atmosphere was perfectly relaxing. The space was wonderful, green and fragrant, the most comfortable bed I've slept on in Africa. Add to that the dogs (3 of them and so sweet), the quiet neighborhood and clean, clean, clean bed and bath rooms, what you have is Casa Fiesta!

A really great stay. Perfect for travellers first time or regulars to Uganda. The separate accommodation was spacious and and secure . Every thing was done to make our stay enjoyable. Appreciated all the help and support needed for our onward journey. Recommend highly!

Leslie's place is fantastic. I would definitely stay there again. It was a shame she was not there. Jane, her housekeeper, is great. Fantastic breakfast from the garden, including eggs from her chickens.

The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I had a great time staying at Leslie's place in Entebbe when I arrived to Uganda from New York. It was a beautiful home that left me feeling refreshed and rejuevenated. It was a treat to stay there and recover from jet lag before making my way to Kampala for the rest of my trip. She has several adorable dogs that were fun to play with, and I enjoyed seeing her permaculture farm. Jane, who helps manage the place, made me feel at home as well as the two other people who stayed with me. There many beautiful flowers and other plants there as well, and the location is stunning.

Lovely, relaxing place to stay in a very good location. Everyone made us very welcome. Loved the friendly dogs. Would definitely stay again.

It was okay

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.

Cleanliness and attention to detail of the system is paid, service was good, friendliness. Good kitchen. We had to move only at our expense upon arrival because the pickup and Ankuftsübernachtung has not funftioniert, despite clear data exchange.

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!

We travel to Uganda fairly regularly to visit family, but this was the first time we had used Airbnb to book our accommodation. I was a bit cautious, but the experience couldn't have been smoother. Elijah was a great host who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. He happened to be flying into Entebbe on the same day us, so waited and gave us a lift from the airport. We had a welcome meal waiting for us and he made sure we knew our way around the local area. The room was exactly as advertised and the apartment was clean and secure. Thanks for a great stay, Elijah - we'll be back!

Thank you Elijah. We really enjoyed our stay at your place. You were very helpful to us especially when we couldn't find our way and it was late. I highly recommend your place and anytime i visit Uganda i will come back and stay at your place. You have a big heart and a nice smile. Thank you Elijah for hosting us.

Elijah's home is so comfortable you could actually decide to stay forever. Nice kitchen, nice rooms. There cable tv and wifi. The environment is cosy and you have a lot of diplomatic and expat families as neighbors. Then there is the swimming pool, clean and bubbly, just outside the door. Elijah makes sure the house stays clean. I thoroughly enjoyed my time.

Perfect

Hello everyone, Elijah despite his busy schedule waited for us to arrive to personally welcome us, due to delays at the station we arrived later and were warmly welcomed. It was easy to know we were in the right place because it looked just as the images portrayed it. It was early morning great weather and the place was notable cool and quiet just what is needed after a bustle through Kampala. To mention specifically the proximity to Quality mall was welcome where supplies were in a wide variety and easily available. Getting into the city was no big hustle as there was transport in any form boda-boda, public and cab varieties. Elijah is a great host - friendly and very well traveled, he made us feel at home was great at directing us with our varied questions, is a significant figure in the Ugandan jazz community. For the entire stay as short as it was the place grew on us fast as a home away from home. I would 100% recommend this to my friends and myself will definitely be back.

Elijah's a fantastic host! My colleague and I stayed with Elijah for 5 nights in September 2015 in the Twin and DBL room. We were in Kampala for tourism and meetings. Elijah arranged airport transfers for us and went out of his way to make us feel at home. The appartement is very comfortable, modern, with all amenities and stays nice and cool when it get very hot outside; exactly like on the pictures. The gated complex is welcoming and lush, well located on the road between Entebbe and Kampala, and although a little out of town, if planned in advance, it is fairly easy and quick to get to and from the City. The pool is very nice and well maintained, the Shopping centre is a short walk away and has everything you need. There is also a cleaning lady that comes in. Elijah respected our space and was very welcoming. We all went on very well, and shared many common interests. We did some activities together; Elijah was a great guide. We really felt at home and welcomed and we look forward to staying with Elijah again during our next visits!

Elijah was not only the greatest host, but one of the most interesting people I've ever met. He's quite a figure around town, in the jazz world, and is an IT specialist with a great background and fascinating ideas. That said, he is very discreet - left me all the space I needed - and the pool is just as beautiful as it looks in the photo. I was always the only person in it. The area is quiet, and I can only recommend this place very highly.

Perfect apartment for a short term stay for business. Clean, and stylishly decorated and furnished. Plenty of room and good wifi. All amenities are there. Easily accessible from the airport. Shops and some good restaurants are at walking distance. Kampala is quite a drive. Elija has arranged everything perfect and always responds immediately.

We only needed a place to stay in Entebbe for a night, and Ras's hostel was good for the purpose. When we arrived there was a power cut so the wifi was not working. Our bathroom had no light and the shower only has cold water, but that's really not too big of an issue at this time of year in Uganda, it's rather warm. The hosts provided us with what we asked for: the second towel, second pillow, as well as soap and the extension cord. Overall it's a good, budget place for a short stay.

Ras was a wonderful host. Friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area. He even invited us to meet his family. The location is perfect for entebbe centre, the botanical gardens, the wildlife centre, the lake etc. The cook/restaurant makes home cooked food and smoothies which were delicious and well priced. The accommodation itself is straightforward, mosquito nets and clean sheets each day, no hot water (but didn't miss it)- mostly just welcoming and lovely community of people around the place made it. Definitely recommend staying here. Probably worth noting to be clear when you want breakfast and whether you want it served in your room or in the restaurant/communal area. There is also no wifi but this is available at the mall down the road or local hotels that you can visit.

Ras is really nice, after he showed me my room (which was in a motel near his house) he invited me to his house to meet his wife and kids which was lovely. The room in the motel was clean and the staff were friendly.

The guesthouse oceanic Motel is well located, close to victoria lake, a shopping mall and small markets. We have been picked up at the airport for a reasonable fee. Our room was big with functional interieur and private bathroom with shower and hot water. The room was clean and it was offered to be cleaned after our first night. The breakfast served was fresh. The Service was excellent.

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.

I enjoyed my stay. The host was always willing to help and made my stay comfortable.

A nice place, away from the hustle and bustle yet only minutes to walk to good restaurants, the beach and shopping. Comfortable and the host and staff are wonderful.

Great place, comfortable, accessible and very flexible

Fantastic location (a short walk to the beach), security, excellent rooms, very nice host, good area, a very very nice place to stay! If I come back to Entebbe, this is the place where I would stay! Thanks a lot, Marvin!
