Nice banda’s in a nice place eith good food and friendly staff and owner.

mooie banda’s en vriendelijk personeel . a nice Banda with good food and friendly staff

in de nacht soms veel geluid van de omgeving met luide muziek. de sound polution in Kampala is soms groot. kan het hotel echter niks aan doen en zal in heel Kampala hetzelfde zijn. The sound pollution at night. But the hotel cannot do anything about it. It’s just the way it is in Masaka

Huge house for us 5, a very nice pool, a very nice restaurant with great vew from the terrace and very friendly staff. Great choices of food and good vine. Even a laundry service. After our Safari Tours further north the exact right place to relax, use the WiFi to report to the Loved once back home and sort out all our experiences.

Nothing to complain about.

Nice people, nice facility, but would NOT recommend staying in regular rooms because too hot.

The facility overall was very nice Staff were friendly, helpful, and most professional and kind

Room was unreasonably hot. While we were given a fan after asking, the intermittent electricity made it unusable much of the night. The room was unpleasantly warm to sleep at night. I recommend you upgrade, if your budget allows, to the banda lodges which are very comfortable and cool at night.

Lovwly colonial villa, bandas, terrace and the pool on your way to west Uganda

It's always good to visit Masaka on the way to western Uganda, and we like Banda for its authenticity of either African bandas or Colonial villa, which had everything necessary for life: several comfortable rooms, furniture, books, board games, glassware and toiletries.

A bit of renovation is necessary in the open-air dining room and villa itself. Only one room had double bed, all others only single ones, while the villa is for 2 families definitely.

Fantastic receptionist, although she seems to do everything. Her name is Angel and she really is one.

a bit too much traffic noise

Very good

Food and staff were really good, nice location and pool. Room is small but has everything for a comfortable stay.

We asked for an upgrade because we were the only guests but it wasn't possible for no clear reason.

Old, cold and cozy

A spacious and very african looking lodge, with the pool. Good views from the top to the surrounding hills. Hearty breakfast. Dinner could be served on a lovely terrace.

The furniture and facilities were more or less clean but already very old with specific sounds. A fraction of windows did not close so at night it was quite fresh, when you want to get into warm plaid, which looks like was not cleaned for several visits. Two electric sockets were with poor contact. The area was without light at night, so it was quite uncomfortable.

Nice Oasis in the town

Very nice place near town center. Really good food (maybe the best french fries ever). Very clean, wonderful pool, nice bandas. We love it

It is in the city - so it was a bit noisy at night (Music outside the hotel)

A good place to stay

I booked for a group of 17 people. We had a villa, a lodge and 2 double rooms. They were all comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

The bathrooms are basic with hardly any pressure in the water.

Nice place for a 1 night stay between Kampala and Bwindi or Lake Mburo

Location is next to the main (tarmac) road, but still quiet and relaxed. Nice pool! Beautifil sunset view.

The room with the bunk beds is very basic. Warm. No good mattresses.

A oasis of a property, calm in a busy city

A lovely oasis of a lodge in Masaka, run by a Danish owner, clean and well kept, nice pool and a very good restaurant where both dinner and breakfast were rewarding. A kind, easy going team work there.

Wifi is a struggle in Uganda and it was again here, with a very weak on-off pattern. Payment by card is also a rereity in Uganda, and proved an overpromiose here as the machine wasn't working when I checked out.

good value but if the power goes off the generator is not powerful enough to power the room.

good value, very nice and clean pool.

electricity went off during our stay, I know it’s not their fault, but the fact that the generator is not powerful enough to power the rooms is a problem. we ordered pizza at the restaurant because nothing else was available, it was the worst pizza I ever ate, really bad. we had to wait 30 minutes for the lady to bring a petrol lamp at our table, she was putting lamps on every other empru tables but not on ours ! we heard people complaining about the restaurant as well. it’s not great. we had to ask the reception to turn on the generator for our room, but when everybody left at night they turned it off again, we didn’t have any light in the room or in the toilets and shower yet the restaurant was lit, but empty because it was past 11pm! nobody was here anymore to put the power back in our room. i don’t understand why putting light on empty tables and lighting an empty restaurant is more important than taking care of the guest that are actually here.

We had a very relaxing, laid back stay with great room service and kind staff. Very refreshing.

The breakfast was very good with all the food groups and enough food! However, it was the same meal everyday.

The wifi had some issues being consistent and there wasn't a ton to do in the location of Masaka- at least the reception didn't tell us of many things to do around the area.

Excellent place for a stop in Masaka

We stopped here on our way to Lake Bunyonyi. We were given a warm welcome by the staff. The lodge had a very nice and clean pool area for a relaxing dip.

Bed was a tight fit for two adults

Good-value friendly lodge with spacious cottages and clean pool

Comfortable and large clean cottage (but their double room in the hostel part of the property has a better seating area), clean pool, tasty restaurant food.

Some confusion upon arrival on whether or not a double and a twin bed cottage should be offered at the same price.
