Heavenly
A hidden gem. Located about 25 mins from Fort Portal and on the shores of a crater lake this is a brilliant place to relax, unwind and allow oneself to be spoilt by the very attentive staff and excellent cuisine. We loved it.

Great view, new lodge, work on service
The lodge sits above a crater lake and offers amazing views. The rooms are spacious and have views of the lake. There is no fan or air conditioning in the room and internet and charging can only be done in the lobby area. Check in was poor and confused. Near the chimps (25 min drive). Service as a whole was inconsistent.

Bel lodge, bella location, servizi da migliorare
Il Lodge è in una bellissima posizione, con vista splendida sul lago, molto belle le parti comuni in stile coloniale. Le camere standard decisamente basiche, molto meglio i family cottage. Infatti ce le siamo fatte cambiare! Buono il ristorante x cena e colazione, anche se devi ordinare con gran anticipo, nonostante fossimo gli unici clienti! Purtroppo essendo un eco lodge, scarsa illuminazione in camera, acqua appena tiepida e impossibilità di caricare tutti gli apparecchi elettronici, ma bisogna farlo nella hall. No phon e Wi-Fi solo nelle parti comuni. Piscina piccola ma carina.

Eine tolle Lodge
Die Lage der Lodge ist einfach wunderbar! Herrlicher Blick über den Kratersee und nah am Kibale NP. Die Angestellten waren sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Am ersten Abend wurde uns zu unserer Überraschung ein romantisches Dinner mit Palmenschmuck und Kerzenlicht bereitet. Am zweiten Tag gab es ein Wasserproblem, die Leitung zu unserem Cottage wurde durchtrennt. Der Manager, Patrick hat sich entschuldigt und uns am Abend die gesamten Getränke spendiert. Der Koch war auch sehr bemüht und das Essen war sehr gut. Der Pool der Lodge ist auch wunderschön gelegen. Würde mich sofort wieder für diese Lodge entscheiden.

Nydelig beliggenhet
Dette er et utrolig flott sted å besøke, naturskjønne omgivelser, tur muligheter i frodig afrikansk landbruksområde, muligheter for å spore chimpanser, ha som base for safari turer, hyggelig betjening og kjempe god mat. Kan varmt anbefales.
