Well,the place is Eco friendly which makes its incredibly beautiful since its so close to Town, lose to the bars,clubs,mallls,super market,hosipital, Kampala city is in the range of (12,000-15,000 ugx ) with an UBER drive. The running showers had hot water. Food was incredibly alot and nice, there was that waitress i dint get her name but she has good customer care.

Well, the bed was always very cold through our stay and the place has so many snails even our bed room they were there and they really made us uncomfortable,(Cabin 5) I dont know wether its because of the coldness but atleast they shoudnt be in the bedrooms (arrhh)

The team at forest cottages was OUTSTANDING!! They always have a massive smile on their faces, always saying hello or good morning. They really looked after us and we were with my 1 year old. The live band on Friday was so much fun and the pool was in a lovely area! We stayed in 2 different rooms and they were both gorgeous but very kid friendly due to a lot of wood in the rooms but if we aren’t with a little one then it’s absolutely beautiful.

I didn’t like the breakfast apart from the chef that did amazing eggs! The breakfast needs switching up a lot!

We loved everything about the property. It is not a “luxury” property, but it is more than we dreamed of in the way of staff, food and just a great experience. We woke up every morning to an excellent breakfast and had dinner every evening when we returned, I don’t know what was better, the service or food. There were events there our whole stay, a wedding the second night and on Saturday there were 2 weddings. The staff was extremely busy setting up three weddings and never missed a beat in serving us. They worked long, hard hours and kept the famous smile. The only warning I have is that if there is a wedding, there will be extremely loud music. We did not mind, as we loved watching and seeing everyone so happy and celebrating.

I loved the cottage I stayed in, the most special type of accommodation I’ve stayed in. Breakfast was great and I loved the surroundings. were beautiful. Appreciated the free access to the pool at Kabira country club as the pool at forest cottages is small and full of children most of the time which made it difficult to swim.

It can be a bit loud at night, both from traffic and music playing, it’s good to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.

Great location and setting. Food was excellent across all meals. Staff is very friendly and looks after all your requests - Christine and Shakira at front office; Andrew and Roshan at the restaurant and Ronald at housekeeping. Good price point. Large room. Nestled amongst the woods.

Room is old and fatigued. Shelves and fittings were falling apart or non existent. Needs up gradation. Toilet is tiny compared to the room. Breakfast a la carte for a guest's guest was very expensive ($13 per person) and definitely not worth the price. Wifi was patchy.

The staff were exceptionally accomodating. They provided everything we needed. The outdoor areas of the hotel were full of plants, and it made it very beautiful.

The room had a strong humidity smell

We loved all the staff and trainees. They were wonderful and made our stay special The grounds were beautiful! We loved it all.

Our room needed more attention. There was no shower curtain, towels and the floors dirty. They cleaned and made it better. The noise of the city was loud so next time we'll try and get a better room. All in all we loved Forest Cottages and will tell people about it!

very friendly and attentative staff, nice pool area, good and safe location. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the hotel offered very good service.

Sometimes it was a bit noisy in the evening, but this wasn't the hotels fault, as the noises were coming from outside (out of their control)

I love the location, scenery, and how clean the cottages are. My boyfriend was surely pleased and happy to celebrate his birthday there.

The romantic setup l asked for wasn’t the best but it was okay and at least it spiced it up a little

Staff were super helpful and the food in the restaurant is pretty good.

The double room close to reception on the first night didn't really have any proper windows and was noisy. Much preferred the single I moved to on the second night.
