"Ensure that meals are standard and not only when the lodge has large groups. We paid just as the large group so we expected the same service. When a large group checks in, the meals are great with lots of desserts and options. However, when the group left and we were still there, our meal was poor. Basic meal with only a banana or small fruit as dessert. There is no wifi connection in the lodge, not even the main building for the entire 4 nights and 5 days we were there. The lodge should let customers know in the marketing that there is internet but the connection is non-existent. Customers can prepare accordingly instead of marketing wifi that is never available. The lodge also understates how steep the hill/steps to the rooms are. Rooms are also a bit dusty"

"Exceptional – luxury, design & perfect location Chameleon Hill Forest Lodge is a truly exceptional and luxurious retreat near Bwindi National Park. Set above Lake Mutanda, the views are breathtaking and the atmosphere is peaceful and exclusive. The individually designed cottages are beautifully styled, combining artistic flair with high comfort and privacy. Service is impeccable: the staff are warm, attentive, and make your stay feel effortless. The cuisine is outstanding, fresh, and elegantly prepared. An ideal base for gorilla tracking, yet so beautiful it feels like a destination in its own right. A unique, high-end boutique lodge I would highly recommend and gladly return to."

"Me and my family had an amazing stay at Nyanja View. The location is peaceful with beautiful views, and the property is exactly as described. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, decorated in a luxurious African style. We spent our days relaxing by the pool and our evenings at the fireplace. The food was very good, and the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to help with anything we needed. They truly made us feel welcome and taken care of throughout our stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend Nyanja View to others."

"Brilliant staff, stunning location, attentive and professional. Rooms were spotless and huge. Food plentiful and was a perfect place to relax and unwind"

"Ihamba is a truly exceptional lodge, offering a cozy and tranquil retreat. The professional staff provides attentive, round-the-clock service, complemented by incredible food options. I highly recommend it"

"Loved my stay at Engiri. I didn't want to leave. The place, the staff, the warm staff, the elephant and hippos roaming about in the mornings - I loved it all."

"Nice properly with beautiful green natural surroundings. Staff for dining were very slow. Buffet items were finished or cold when we got there and no effort to refill. Lunch only given choice of a la carte while others had buffet with lot of choice.Hans kept refusing any orders we requested as vegetarian including making a sandwich which despite explaining thoroughly he got it wrong. "

"Great looking hotel! i wish I would've had more time to enjoy the terrace and look at primates. Next time, easy choice. I really enjoyed knowing that their vegetation part shares the land with the park, so in a good day you can see Chimps from your front patio."
