Kshitij (8/5): -
Johan (5/5): - Too much noise
Céline (2/5): -
Patrick (9/5): -
Mohammad (6/5): - Sceneries Very poor breakfast
Tim (7/5): It's a good central location and reasonably good value for money. The swimming pool is great. - I've stayed here many times. It is very convenient for me and I always like the vibe. The pool is great and the environment is great. It's the first time I've had a child with me. There are no catering options for children which was very disappointing.
Willem (5/5): - Breakfast, green environment Bed was short and matress old and thin. Too much noise till midnight
Ileana-Maria (10/5): - Fantastic ambience and nature. Great location, good food, friendly and very helpful staff. Swiming pool was really great. Lots of facilities and things to do at the premises. Highly recommend. At the road side, a bit noisy in the weekend from the road and bars around. But still worth it.
Vanessa (6/5): Easter 🐣 holiday well spent - The Easter set up for the kids, the managers are going we got gifts as a compensation for the egg hunt . some staff are really friendly and helpful 🙏 Good location and friendly staff. However, the property could improve on cleanliness and would benefit from some renovations. The restaurant payment process was a bit inconvenient, as payment is requested after every order consolidating bills for payment at checkout would be much better for guests.

Flemming (7/5): -
Muraya (3/5): Not good. Only the receptionist was very helpful & super friendly. - Location: very accessible The facility is old. Some indian staff were smoking weed next to my window every evening.

Wouters (8/5): - Sfeer Er is een keuken met waterkoker, maar geen bestek en servies.
Ily64 (9/5): - Colazione buona e abbondante, un po' di confusione sul bancone. Porzioni di cibo esageratamente abbondanti ma di buona qualità, servizio lento Personale alla reception molto cortese e disponibile Sicuramente il locale ha bisogno di manutenzione. Essendo un locale utilizzato per feste e ricevimenti è abbastanza rumoroso.

Claudine (1/5): - Great garden My room was like Cave.
Adala (9/5): - Lovely area with lots of greenery The breakfast can be improved , other than that the place is absolutely lovely
EUNICE APITA (7/5): -
Fred (3/5): - Great location The rooms were tiny, the staff at the reception were not receptive
Gareth (8/5): A great place to spend a night in Kampala and much more interesting than a bland chain hotel. - Good breakfast with fresh fruits. Friendly staff, peaceful and green atmosphere despite being in a capital city. Quirky decor and rooms which were appealing and had character. Good for a family as we all shared one cottage. This probably isn't the hotel's fault, but someone must have either hacked them or booking.com as prior to my visit I kept getting whatsapp messages from random phone numbers (including USA and India) of people claiming to be forest cottages admin staff who required confirmation of my booking. I wasn't stupid enough to give these people my bank card details as Booking.com had already confirmed the booking, but it was annoying. I told hotel staff about this who seemed to already be aware of the issue.
Katharina (7/5): Great location but poor kitchen equipment - The staff was friendly and the chalet was spacious. Although Forest Cottages are very central you are surrounded by trees and other plants what creates a nice atmosphere. A lot of things were missing in the kitchen although they were listed in the description. There were neither dishes nor cutlery, no microwave, no oven and no dishwasher. The bed was very small with a length of around 1.90 m or less.
Nanziri (5/5): - The reception was good The rooms were very small and congested
Kaakyo (5/5): It was a fair stay - Breakfast had a variety of eats Very old outdated towels and mosquito net 😯
Brenda (4/5): - I liked the location The furniture in the room especially the seats too low it feels like you are squating not seating and its very old, The service was also not good There's no anemities for residents they have a pool but as a resident you are required to pay to access it, my kids went to use the pool but they were asked to pay

Salome (9/5): -
Dettha (5/5): - Onze kamer lag naast een gebouw met een trouwfeest met harde muziek die tot 23 uur zou duren maar het werd 02.00 uur. Aangezien met warm weer alle ramen open staan was het lawaai verschrikkelijk. Het personeel kon het niet beinvloeden. Ik boek een kamer om te slapen maar dat lukte niet.
Peter (7/5): Nice Area and Hotel but too much Events - Very nice Area, the Tree House was spezial. Also the view and the Nature. The Bar and the restaurant to eat some snacks was ok. Also one can make nice walking to Protea Rooftop Bar and also to some nice residencies Because of lots of Events like weddings and Birthdays it was noisy Especially it was an NO GO that people prepare a wedding with loud hammering at 3 am in the night ! The breakfast was boring. Everyttime the same.
Mark (8/5): -
MartaKulik (9/5): - The location is great. This place is perfectly green, food is good and swimming pool very clean (but water very cold). For this price this place is great. Music is too loud (there was na engagement party)
John (10/5): Very enjoyable - Friendly staff There was no faults
Andrew (7/5): -
PHILIPPE (9/5): - Endroit pittoresque, personnel sympathique et bon restaurant !
Yaakov (5/5): Better than staying on the street - Location Noisy
seth (10/5): -
Ludo (9/5): We voelden er ons thuis, zoals steeds. - Ligging & ontbijt. Niets
Laura (5/5): hübsche Unterkunft, nur leider etwas laut. - Die Anlage war grundsätzlich sehr schön hergerichtet, man vergisst fast, dass man mitten in der Stadt ist - wenn da der Lärm nicht wäre. Das Zimmer war zwar klein, aber einigermassen gemütlich. Frühstück war in Ordnung. Leider lag mein Zimmer direkt neben zwei Strassen, wo es auch nachts sehr laut zu und her ging. Auf meine Anfrage, ob ich das Zimmer wechseln könne, sagte man mir, dass alles ausgebucht sei (obwohl mehrere Zimmer neben mir leer waren und es nur um eine Nacht ging). Es war wirklich sehr laut da. Ausserdem fand tagsüber direkt vor meinem Zimmer eine grosse Hochzeit statt (die Unterkunft bietet Hochzeitspackages an). Wenn man Ruhe sucht, kann ich diese Unterkunft nicht empfehlen.
Cornelia (9/5): Geweldige locatie in Kampala - De sfeer Er zat een kakkerlak op de wc, maar verder alles schoon
Natosha (10/5): It’s my new favorite place! I had stated once before several years back and had a great experience but it seems they are - It felt like we were in a rustic and beautiful setting. Lots of shade and even velvet monkeys were playing in the trees. The grounds were clean and well maintained and the night lighting was awesome! The staff were always very attentive and kind. Always offering and assisting with helping us with our bags. The food is soooo good!!! The fact it felt like we were in a cabin and in a jungle. The trees and views were beautiful.
Federico (9/5): - Everything
Frank (6/5): Eine gute Zeit mit Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten im Zimmer - das restaurant war gut und das frühstücksbuffet sehr umfangreich. der lobbybereich ist sehr schön mit holz und geschmackvoll ausgestattet. der aussenbereich war top mit kleinem pool. da es am hügel liegt ist alles über verschiedene ebenen verbunden. das bad war nur für eine person zugänglich, das waschbecken viel zu klein. alles restaurierungsbedürftig. Service: Frage zu Flughafentransfer wurde nicht beachtet.
Mirja (8/5): - Lush green area, cute and individual cottages It can be loud until late, the service is slow and the little animals (snails, little lizzards) always manage to get into the cottage - I don’t know how
Orin (7/5): - Die Anlage ist sehr hübsch und liebevoll gemacht. Das Frühstücksbuffet war gut, typische Auswahl wie sonst in Uganda. Das Zweibettzimmer war geräumig. Die Lage ist in einem guten Quartier. Die Matratzen und das Bettzeug waren etwas feucht und man klebte die ganze Nacht in den Laken und fror dann auch entsprechend. Wegen der schlechten Isolierung war es sehr laut von der Strasse. Wasserdruck in der Dusche sehr schwach. Das Personal war zwar nicht unfreundlich, aber noch weniger motiviert und nicht von der Sorte "enabler".
Federico (10/5): Essere accolto come a casa in un giardino equatoriale - Veramente tutto mi è piaciuto, mi sono sentito accolto e mi sono trovato come a casa. Cortesia, discreti, premurosi e sorridenti. È il mio albergo a Kampala dove penso di tornare a Dicembre per lavoro e vacanza. Assolutamente niente
trevor wandera (5/5): -
Reagan (7/5): The place is perfect, but the properties look very old and need to be renewed. - The staff are friendly and good environment for rest Moustiquitoes
Bradley Anderson (8/5): -
Federico (9/5): The right place where to relax and repower after a long day in Kampala traffic - Every morning a really good breakfast and the logistic position near to interesting point Nothing
Jean-Claude et Alain (7/5): Forest Cottages to be tried only once - Emplacement, personnel d'accueil attentionné, Resolution rapide problèmes d'insatisfaction, personnel de chambre professionnel Avocado Restaurant : petit déjeuner avec offre très limitée, carte menu avec souvent des ruptures, personnel de service non qualifié...

Meshi (8/5): נחמד מאוד - אוכל מעולה, מיקום מדהים, בתוך הצמחיה, אזור נעים של קמפלה לא היו מים חמים בצורה סדירה, חלק מהמקלחות היו מלוכלכות
Willem (8/5): -
Maarten (8/5): -
Samuel (9/5): Short and sweet - Very peaceful and serene The resturant service especially waiters outside are really not proactive it took a while to get any service despite the waiters hanging around.
Daniel (8/5): -
Nathan (7/5): - The location was an unexpected oasis in the middle of Kampala. The breakfast was also delicious. The night we were there, several graduation parties went on late into the evening with very loud music. This made it very difficult for everyone in our party to sleep.
Alexandru (10/5): -
Pepijn70 (7/5): Veel kabaal - Ontbijt was goed en uitgebreid. Prima cottages van alle gemakken voorzien. Mooi groen in een drukke stad. De eerste avond was er een 'trouwerij'gepland (diner en muziek/speeches) precies naast onze cottage. Zoveel herrie waar we heel veel last van hadden in het hele appartement. Er was niets aan te doen volgens het management maar het zou uiterlijk 20 uur afgelopen zijn. Uiteindelijk heeft de herrie (ik denk dat de ceremoniemeester de meeste herrie maakte door veel te schreeuwen door de microfoon) pas na 2230 afgelopen. Waarom ons in dit cottage zetten terwijl dit feest precies ernaast wordt gehouden? Dit terwijl er voldoende opties waren, verder op het terrein, ver weg van het 'feest'. Helaas merkten we dat dit cottage ook naast de keuken ligt waardoor we al vanaf 6 uur wakker werden van het geluid uit de keuken. Naast nog het opruimen van de tafels en stoelen van de trouwerij rond 730 wat met veel kabaal gebeurde. Overigens is er ook geluid hoorbaar de nacht van de ernaast gelegen disco. Na diverse klachten (waarbij het management in eerste instantie het probleem wegwuifde en baggataliseerde) zijn we uiteindelijk toch in een ander cottage geplaatst voor de 2e avond/nacht.
Nathalie (5/5): zu laut - sehr schade um diesen tollen Ort - Tolle Oase in Kampala, die leider nicht genossen werden kann. Ausgiebige Speisekarte, freundliches Personal. Leider auch eine Eventlocation und daher kann die Oase nicht genossen werden - es hat dauernd Hochzeiten, Geburtstage mit lautet Musik bis spät in die Nacht.
