Gorilla African Guest House

Good accommodation for the money Perfect size house. Warm water. Breakfast and helpful staff. Nice stay in a nice area.

This place is OK for basic accommodation, but you can do better for the price. It's not as nice as it appears in the photos. They also didn't have my reservation handy and I had to show them my booking receipt. They have friendly staff and good food.

We stayed here two nights - when we first arrived and after our 2 week tour of Western Uganda ended. It’s a popular budget guesthouse that various tour companies appear to use. We booked on our own though. They arranged a pick up at the airport for US$15, which went smoothly. And the place is safe and clean. The bedsheets were surprisingly comfortable. The guys running the place are nice when things aren’t too busy. But it’s an aging place. We didn’t have running water for a few hours the evening of our first night. And the second time we stayed, the shower had a bit of an electrical issue. The food is simple but takes a while to prepare. For faster food, order the pizza, which is delivered. It’s a good place if you’re just spending the night and leaving the next day - and don’t want to spend much on a place in Entebbe. The garden atmosphere is nice. The wifi works when you’re in or just outside the office, and it isn’t strong (like in most budget places in Uganda).
