    For a short stay this is the cheapest and best guest house. Nice staff, comfortable bed. Good room size and cleanliness. Best to use Glovo app for ordering foods as there are no good restaurants around. Also better to use Uber or Boda app for a better ride fees and to ensure accurate destination.

    Great location in the upscale Kololo neighbourhood. Unfortunately, some of the famous nearby nightlife such as Bubbles O'Leary's has closed or moved further away, but the hostel's bar & restaurant themselves are clearly a populat nightspot with locals.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Bon Bini. Residence in a quiet neighborhood near the city center. Wifi worked perfectly. The rooms and the swimmingpool are clean. The staff are very friendly and went up and above to make us feel comfortable and at home. Good security. This will be our home every time we visit Kampala.

    Lovely place with equally amazing hosts. It's situated in a great location (Muyenga) away from the hustle and bustle of Kampala. Not to mention the amazing view of Lake Victoria.
