I attended a conference here for 5 days. It was very comfortable and well set up for this purpose. The grounds are beautiful and you can see Lake Victoria. The staff is pleasant and every need was cared for. Aisha in particular at the front desk was helpful as I had to check out before my conference duties were finished. I would definitely come back!

experience
The stay at Munyonyo was good but the Hotel.com confirmation email stated that the total price paid included Airport Transfer including other facilities but the resort denied that and said it was not included thus costing me extra $30 for the Taxi. I think the confirmation was misleading.

Extraordinary hotel
This was by far the best stay of our trip! The hotel and grounds were beautiful, as was the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the bed very comfortable, the food was fantastic, and the location on Lake Victoria couldn't be beat. It is located about 30 minutes from Entebbe Int. Airport, which was convenient, but we felt like we were miles away from any city. I couldn't recommend this hotel more.

Best Hotel in Uganda
Everything here is amazing! We loved our stay -- the rooms are supremely comfortable, the grounds are beautiful and the staff are all really nice and helpful. We heard that when foreign presidents come to Uganda, they stay here and we can understand why. There's a lot to do, the food is great and the area is gorgeous. If you're lucky, you'll even see a family of monkeys passing through.

Perfect hotel, except for the Internet.
This hotel was perfect in every sense of the word, except for the Internet service, which was pretty much non-existent for the majority of my stay. If it weren't for that, my experience would've have been very positive. Hopefully, they'll resolve it the next time I'm there.

Ottimo servizio
Ci sono stati dei problemi all'inizio perche non gli risultava la mia prenotazione incluso pagamento. Ma poi, per ringraziarmi della pazienza, mi hanno dato una stanza suite che valeva almeno il doppio di quanto avevo pagato!
