The Kansiime Backpackers — Hotel in Rubanda

i might be Bias a bit in this review because Anne Kansiime is a friend, but am gonna try my best! ||If you like a "modern" hotel with the international standards, then this is not the place for you!! if you are looking for an authentic place, where you feel everything was been "worked on" and not bought then come try it! ||From birdnest resort you take a 3 minutes boat ride to the Kansiime backpakers, you can even see it from birdnest, just facing it. ||the place is so colorful, other than the flowers scattered around, every chair has a different color, every room is painted in a color, nothing is just on "standard" color or shape, everything is different, every room has a shape, color...||our room was the "cave", a real cave, you can't walk inside but you have to kneel down to enter it! a great idea! inside it is dark though, generator will be on from 7 to 10 pm, after they will give you 3 lanterns. it is a the end of the Kansiime backpackers, so i guess it is the one for the couples! no windows on the lake, so the challenge in it that it is really dark! you need to come prepare, we had our power banks to charge our phones which we used their lights. ||the customer care was so good actually, we only had breakfast, we came at 5pm and we left in the morning. ||at around 6pm, my wife and I went all the way down and chilled on the lake on the chaises longues they had, it was a very nice experience, we stayed up to 9:30pm, just next to the water, it was worth it. ||just prepare yourself that it will be cold! the temperature was around 15 degree Celsius. ||the challenge we have was darkness in our room, other rooms had windows facing the lake, so in the morning the light will go in, in our case we had to open the small door to let the light goes in. ||all in all, it was a "weird?"...

The pleasure of visiting the place was worth, and it was an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the serene ambiance and breathtaking views of the lake. The room service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable.

But what truly stood out was the peace of mind I experienced during my stay. The resort's tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I felt rejuvenated and refreshed, and my mind was at ease.

And then, of course, there was the food! Oh, the food! The resort's culinary team truly outdid themselves, serving up delicious dishes that showcased the best of local flavors. But the standout star was, without a doubt, the crayfish. I've never tasted fish so tender and chewingumish texture, flavorful, and expertly prepared. It was truly the tastiest fish I've ever had the pleasure of eating!

Overall, my stay at this resort on Lake Bunyonyi was an unforgettable experience. With its stunning views, exceptional service, and mouthwatering cuisine, I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful and...

This place is gorgeous! It is located a short boat ride from the main dock area in Bunyonyi. The have their own boat to pick you up (5,000 UGX which is half the regular price) at any time. It is like stepping into paradise! The lodge itself is covered in flowers (they also have a small vegetable garden), bright colors, and comfortable seating all over. They have clearly paid attention to the details to make it warm and inviting. They also have a wonderful fire pit area that they will light upon request. ||||It is super quiet and relaxing with unbelievable views of the lake from most rooms. ||They can organize any activity or you can also take a nice hike from there unguided. Staff are all super friendly and helpful. Meals can take awhile, but the food is good. ||We stayed in the dorms which were clean and well-kept. They have warm water (wood heated) as well and you can swim from their private dock area. Our friends stayed in private rooms which were nice as well.||||We absolutely loved it here and already have...
