Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Lovely staff and setting!
The place felt very safe and in a nice setting with plenty of green outside space. Rooms were very clean and spacious with nice private front terraces. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially the onwer, Agnes, who arranged sightseeing trips in the area, airport transfer (15 mins) and other transport for us. There is a nice bar area where they serve great breakfast and drinks. They even stocked up on our favourite drinks on request. The only drawback for us was the location. It's very isolated on a residential dirt road so to get to Victoria Lake, supermarkets or restaurants you rely on costly guesthouse transport or UBER (wifi in Uganda is very flaky due to power cuts). Agnes did arrange takeaway from a nearby restaurant one evening so that's an option otherwise.

An exceptionally positive experience
This was an exceptionally positive experience for us in so many ways. We were warmly welcomed, had delicious breakfasts, and treated like old friends in this wonderful guesthouse. We truly appreciated how kind, friendly, and helpful everyone was at the guesthouse as this was our first visit to Uganda. We will definitely return to this guesthouse and recommend it to others who are visiting Uganda.

Clean hotel, great staff, close to town and beach.
This is a guesthouse so it isn't fancy but the rooms are big and clean. There is hot water too. Breakfast is good. The staff is very helpful and polite. I felt very safe at African Roots.
