Excellent in all aspects
Reviewed By David RThe manager, receptionist and waiters were all efficient and friendly. Rooms were clean with spectacular views from the Chalets. Every request was met immediately. Food well presented and good standard. My family and I have now visited on two occasions and will most certainly return.

Nice property with room to improve
Reviewed By turkce_bilmiyorumWe were visiting friends in the Hoima area and choose this new resort (opened in May 2021) to stay one night. Arriving after dark we could still see that the grounds were very well laid out. In the morning light we saw just how beautiful they truly are. Indeed the grounds are probably the nicest aspect of the resort, the designer and landscapers are to be commended for a true work of botanical art. As for our room, it was rather standard. Even by Ugandan standards (I'm from the USA, but married a Ugandan and have lived here several years) it is not luxury, but certainly in the top quarter. We asked for a family room, but they had none (apparently still under construction) and so stayed in a side-by-side two-room cottage. The kids had a room with two twin beds and my wife and I a double/queen. They are basic rooms -- clean, with a comfortable bed and a decent shower. One thing that I am accustomed to that some might not be is that the shower and the toilet occupy the same space. This can mean a wet floor in front of and around the toilet, and that was true for us -- water was still present in the morning even though we had showered the night before. This could be rectified with better design on the floor, or even just providing a squeegee, but alas we would have had to use our two towels to dry the floor even though we also needed them for going to the swimming pool as none were provided there. The children's room had a TV that played two channels. There was a wire for a TV in our room, but none was yet installed. (I didn't mention it to the front desk as we never really missed not having it.) What some will miss is that not only is there no heating (not something one generally would find any place in Uganda), but neither A/C nor a fan. Now, I've never used the fan I bought for my house, so I understand the establishment's choice, but if they wish to appeal to travelers from abroad, I recommend changing that decision. People from the USA and Europe are going to want to be cooler at night, and since there are no screens on the windows, you leave them no option but to keep them closed to keep the insects out and no way to cool the room if they are hot. The provision of a few hangers in the room's open closet area and another couple of towels would also be appreciated. As for the pool, it is very nice. The seperate children's pool is truly a respectably-sized pool, yet shallow enough for all but infants. The main pool isn't deep enough for diving, but otherwise fits most people's needs quite well. And there are sun umbrellas installed at the 8 very nice wooden lounge chairs surrounding the pool. The restaurant served a standard Ugandan breakfast of eggs (an egg which is first scrambled then fried and not fluffy), sausage, noodles, potatoes, matoke, and fruit; plus milk, tea, coffee, African tea, and juice to drink -- all cooked appropriately and I felt it adequate but my wife thought it a little bland. We also had a nice lunch. The menu is varied enough I believe to appeal to most tastes (pizza, burgers, chicken, beef, pork, and local Ugandan food) -- be advised in Ugandan just because something is on the menu doesn't mean it is in the kitchen, but in our case everything was. I found the service attentive without being overbearing, and by Ugandan standards it was also very quick (about 20 minutes). The kids had a couple of different chicken dishes with chips (french fries), my wife a whole tilapia, and I baked macaroon with cheese. I was the only one disappointed, not by the quality of the food, but that it wasn't the macaroni and cheese from the USA that my mouth was salivating for. It was instead just macaroni and spaghetti with some nice vegetable added and a sprinking of cheese blended in. Nothing wrong with the meal other than my expectations. There is also a very nice looking playground that my kids wanted to explore, but it required an extra 5000 UGX each, which I thought should have been included in the price of our rooms (205,000 UGX for our double and 225,000 for the kids twin room) and so I refused the additional charge and we spent more time in the pool instead. The resort is secure and quiet. The staff was friendly and they allowed us a late check-out of 2 PM vs their usually 10 AM. Kabalega Resort is located just a few km (5 minutes) east of Hoima on the road to Masindi.
3. Lake Chahafi Resort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26 reviews
Located on shore of Lake Chahafi,in south eastern direction of Kisoro district near Rwandan border. We are a luxury resort with eight furnished ensuite cabins with comfy double or twin beds. The cabins are well designed to match the environment: with netted windows that can be rolled up and down to allow for privacy at the same time enjoying the natural surroundings, the cabins are erected on stilts and a deck with breathtaking views on Muhavura volcano and the Lake. We are a spot for travelers who may wish to explore the twin lakes Chahafi and Kayumbu, and as a base for tracking Mountain Gorillas, golden monkeys or hiking the virunga ranges that include: Mt.Muhavura, Mt. Gahinga, and Mt. Sabinyo.

Good ambience, wifi needs fixing
Reviewed By Africahand7 of us spent 3 nights here on a business trip. On the plus side, the greenery is lovely and the little steep-sided valley running through the property has monkeys and birds. The rustic restaurant and bar is pleasant. We had excellent service from the bar staff, most of whom turned up a few short hours later to serve breakfast, still with smiles on their faces. The food came fairly quickly and the portions were truly ENORMOUS! Literally 3 times what a normal human could expect to eat. So no complaints one value for money. There is a large and well kept pool over the road. The main downside was the wifi, which was either very slow or non-existent, especially in the rooms (which is the most important place when you're trying to work). So for that I can't give a 5-star review. Install some more routers and we'll be back :-)
5. Crane Resort Hotel
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 6 reviews
Resturant Service and food was absolutely appalling !
Reviewed By MissGSRZAWe stopped at this hotel to have some lunch on our way to Queen National Park. We got there, the staff did not greet us. The waiter came in and hurried us for the order. We ordered. Done be fooled by the pictures in the menu. They do not serve it the same way. My toasted sandwich looked like a squashed, horrible tasting sandwich and pizza. I even ask how the sandwich, as well as the pizza, was served before ordering it. The waiter assured me that my sandwich and pizza will be served as per our request. It looked as if a bus drove over it. I ordered lemon tea, and I was served just Lemon water with hot water. I asked the waiter if this was lemon tea and his response was this is how we serve today because we did not have a lemon teabag (and he expected me to pay for it, at least after some arguing he left it off the bill). If the service was better, I would have never written this review. The Front desk and waiter that served us were rude and it really seemed as thou they did not want to assist us. I would NOT recommend eating at the hotel restaurant because of the horrible food and service!
