"I stayed 2 nights in a Mirembe cottage- my friend had the cottage next door and we had a dedicated outside eating area, from where we were served our food.We were served by James who was consistently courteous and efficient .We felt like film stars on a tropical island as we ate delicious food sitting by the lake watching a wide variety of birds - it was just such a treat!"

"The room we were given was not what we booked. When asked for the room we booked we were shown an incredibly run down version of it in a building that was undergoing repairs so we opted for the room they initially assigned. It costs $50000 UGX to get a ride to town so we felt a bit trapped but I’m sure people accustomed to resorts are used to this.
We went on an amazing nature walk that was offered for free, our guide Joseph was very knowledgeable and accommodating, beautiful views and forest,...

"Hotel bastante desastre en cuanto al estado de las instalaciones (Habitaciones con ventanas totalmente rotas, necesidad de pintar paredes , problemas con las duchas, baldosas en la piscina rotas, etc .)
Música demasiado alta y hasta altas horas de la noche en alguna ocasión en la zona de la piscina .
El personal me trató bastante bien .
El entorno es un sitio precioso y este alojamiento es una opción asequible pero si volviera buscaría otro mejor . "

"The hotel is bordered by the lake on one side and virgin forest on the other. I took 3 marvelous meals a day and the evening meal had a roaring camp fire. Staff were superb. A boat trip organised by the manager was wonderful, many lake birds, families of monitor lizards and a flock of african grey parrots! Rooms clean, food good, drinks cold, assistance with travel, infact assistance with anything. What more do you want! "

"The only good thing about this hotel is its proximity to the airport. Other than that, I booked and paid for an Executive Double Room, 1 Bedroom, but they gave me a Standard Room instead. The room wasn’t so clean, the bed was as hard as a rock, and insects invaded the room during the evening, with no mosquito net provided. There was an electric kettle, but no cups, no water, and no tea or coffee—completely pointless. Overall, a very disappointing experience. "

"I was staying only overnight so it was dark when i arrived and dark when I left. I didn't see the lake but enjoyed the sounds of the waves from my balcony. Service was terrific and the staff was very helpful when I left something behind "

"Nothing on the website is similar to the actual hotel.Wrong picture,wrong name,I had to ask people who lived near the so called hotel to ask for the hotel but to no avail.Because no buddy knows any hotel with that name in that location.When I call the hotel nobody answered my calls or called me back.So I had to book another hotel after spending more than 3 hours waiting.I am disappointed that Expedia putting this kind of scam on the website."

"Everything was very pleasant! The only complaint I have is we sent clothes to be dry cleaned but our clothes was returned damped which indicated the clothes was washed regular. We paid a lot for dry clean so please check your out source for dry cleaning "

"The best! Was very pleasantly surprised. Great staff, who were very friendly and willing to assist.
The entire hotel including rooms are beautifully decorated and welcoming.
The spa and pool were wonderful.
Will definitely recommend."
"Brovad is a must go to if you are taking a trip to Uganda. It's a beautiful get away from the bustle of the city. It's not a beach as it's on a lake, but the surroundings will make you believe you are. The staff are amazing, kind, thoughtful and will do their best to ensure you have the best experience. Always check in with the receptionist about a problem; don't just grumble, they will always have a solution.
The weekends are busy, and if you enjoy a lively vibe, the weekend is a good option; otherwise, the weekdays are so tranquil.
I will be back soon Brovad!"
