Bugala Island Holiday Rentals

"A hidden gem this one is, set by lake Victoria. I was blown away by the sheer amount of greenery in it’s well tended gardens and then the peace and quiet around this property has to be experienced for one to believe. Although I must point out that Sunday to Thursday will be my choice of days for my next visit as I like it quiet. The weekend Friday and Saturday brings in quite a bit of party people. The room and linen were very clean. The pool was very clean too. The staff were very polite and always available to help whenever needed. Overall I give it 10/10. I will definitely visit again in the near future "

"Stayed here for 3 nights. The staff were very friendly and attentive and we had a very relaxing stay. "

"Well where to start? Let’s start with the good things. Is a beautifully located, peaceful resort. The rooms are spacious and well tended and staff are very friendly. Also I’d heartily recommend the fired Tilapia for dinner. But there are downsides. Big downsides. The resort is run down and little effort is made beyond the rooms. Cheap plastic chairs, pealing dirty bench’s, metal loungers without cushions and bizarre seats around the fire (which is almost never set). The restaurant is dreadful with a wood board and plastic nets preventing views whilst you sit on nasty seats against plastic covered trestle tables.. There might be quads and water activities but you’ll never know. They’re not advertised anywhere and it’s completely unclear what (if anything) the resort offers outside of a very sad tennis net. Also be prepared to be woken at 05:00am every morning as the power is cut at 12:00 then switched on again with a loud click and any lights or electronics you had on waking up. So good luck sleeping with fan if it’s hot. Oh and you’ll need to ask for the room to be cleaned and give the maid the key. Which brings us on to the restaurant. The strangest arrangement I have ever come across. Don’t except to have a nice lay in after you’ve been woken at 05:00am because… the restaurant will phone you at 08-08:30 to tell you either that breakfast is ready or you’re the last person who hasn’t had breakfast (which allegedly doesn’t finish unti 10:00)"
