very friendly and professional staff We had to change the date of our stay on very short notice- that was no problem, thank you!! For our early leave we got a wonderful breakfast to go-thumbs up!! It was very nice to have a swim in the pool, its well built and very clean as was the whole place.
The staff did everything to make us feel welcome, it was out of their hands that it was noisy until late. (Road, neighbourhood)

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.

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.

Very good location (around 15 minutes walk from the centre), very clean, nice pool and a great breakfast! Would stay here again !
The room I stayed in was close to a busy road, so a bit noisy. Would choose a different room, if I was someone sensitive to the noise '

Place is run by a European. That is the reason, why it is not typical African level. All pretty new and neatly maintained.
Extremely limited warm water to share with other rooms. If you do not hurry, you shower cold.

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.

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.

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.
