Opinions LAKE BUNYONYI ECO RESORT Lac Bunyonyi

V good

We came here when tourism in Uganda had not recovered from COVID in January of 2022. We booked the resort easily and the person we booked through was wonderful. We parked on the mainland and a boat took us to the island. This place is all by itself on the island. The cottages are scattered around the island so each is away from each other for privacy. The room was great with a balcony overlooking the lake. The island has some foot paths but not many to hike on. They have a few animals including a zebra who hangs around the donkeys and a colobus monkey by the name of the Conductor. This guy was hilarious! He acts like the manager by stopping by your cottage once or twice a day and sits on the balcony rail as if to ask us if everything is okay and then he moves on. The main house has a balcony where food is served overlooking the lake. The food was good. The menu was limited though I am sure due to the fact that there had been little business and so they did not have a lot on hand. The staff were wonderful. We did pay to take a boat ride on the lake and it was reasonably priced. It’s a beautiful lake and very quiet. There is not a lot to do but it was a great place to relax first a few days.

Very peaceful stay on a private island in a beautiful lake, reached by boat. Nice wooden cabins with hot shower, down on a hill so you need to be fit to climb back up to the restaurant an bar area, but there you're rewarded with a great terrace and view. Recommend the community walk on 1 of the islands. One of the worst roads to get to the pier for the boat to the island, but you probably can get a boat closer to the main road too. One of the best places to stay in Uganda

Schöne Lage mit Aussicht, gutes Essen im Restaurant, freundliches Personal, jedoch das schlechteste Zimmer auf unserer Reise (Türklinke zum Bad fehlt, Badfenster nur von aussen schliessbar, Zimmerfenster mit zerbrochenem Glas, Boden schräg, schlechtes Bett, etc)

Perfect services and amazing rooms ...

Località remota, ma molto bella. Il silenzio e la tranquillità sono terapeutiche.

The view is amazing but the rooms, food, and the service could be improved.

Located on Kyahugye island on lake Bunyonyi with beautiful and amazing scenery. Wild life like the Zebras, water bucks , antelopes , donkeys and different bird species. There’s a boat to ease transportation to the island and got a good chef for different assorted dishes. The electricity is on and off so come with extra power banks to have your gadgets charged. Rooms are well catered for but they are too far from the main reception area so it’s abit scary. But its an ideal place to spend ur holiday ????

This was a surprising highlight of our brief tour through Uganda! This eco resort was something that was part of the package included in the Bwindi Forest tour we booked through Home to Africa tours and we probably would not have found this place on our own.

The island had absolutely stunning views and the service was very good. The rooms were comfortable (though we did unfortunately get switched to a different room because of an issue with a door lock) and everyone was very kind. It was an extra bonus that there were so many interesting animals on the island (impala, a donkey, a zebra, many birds, etc.) I also enjoyed a brief canoe outing on my own for a bit as a nice solo relaxation activity but I think I would probably suggest charging a bit less for it (I paid $20 but I think it should probably be something more like $15 to go solo).

Overall very lovely place and a great stop on our Uganda tour!

Thank you for a great stay!

Schön auf einer Insel gelegen. Die Organisation ist ein wenig chaotisch, aber sonst sehr freundlich!

Per una breve sosta di relax è un posto ideale. Ci si arriva in barca e poi c'è una salita da fare a piedi di un paio di minuti. Le casette sono carine ma non tutte uguali, una ha persino la doccia spa ma la mia aveva una vasca e una semplice doccia che scarica direttamente sul pavimento però essendo vicino alla porta poi rimane tutto bagnato dove ci si passa per forza. Una pecca che hanno tutti i lodge che ho visitato è che l'interruttore della luce della camera è solo vicino alla porta e bisogna alzarsi dal letto per accenderla. Inoltre c'è sempre solo una presa di corrente per tutta la casetta. Il ristorante è bello e la cucina è buona. Gode di una terrazza con una vista stupenda. Il personale è gentilissimo e disponibile.

Wir waren hier zum Lunch und das Essen war okay.
Die Aussicht ist schön und man kann hier gut ein paar Stunden verbringen.

Beim bezahlen mussten wir leider feststellen, dass sie uns allen zu viel berechnet hatten.
Als wir nach den genauen Preisen fragten entschuldigten sie sich nicht mal für den versuchten Scam.

Daher gut aufpassen beim Bezahlen!!

+: The location is like a small paradise on earth. Nice cottages and if you are lucky you'll have a great view on the lake. Wild animals (zebra, crane birds, ...) are just within reach. This was soooooo great

-: Bad showers.
The resorts misses from time to time some good management. Nothing is efficiently organised and there are many delays. Communication about the arrival via the boat and the prices can be much better. First the buffet was 30.000, then 45.000 and then, in the end, 40.000. Seems like their price policy is not always correct. Europeans don't like this way of working!

Une équipe très sympathique, des chambres très confortables avec une magnifique vue sur le lac et des repas très bon et vraiment copieux.

Merveilleuse expérience !

We had a great stay at this resort on top of a hill in a small island of lake Bunyonyi. Cottages are beautiful and you can see animals around your terrace.
