The main guy, the manager, was a bit of a nightmare and made us feel very uncomfortable for the duration of the stay. In every interaction he tried to sell us something and pushed tours, food, transfers, anything he could think of, on to us. It really spoiled the stay for us, but we learnt to laugh about it. The other staff were really friendly, and I think if he was to be replaced or changed then it would be a lovely affordable option in Buhoma. Our room wasn’t serviced because we didn’t leave the key with them apparently, but he didn’t tell us that needed to leave the key. The food was very expensive, $10 for one packed lunch for example. They only offered three courses meals for lunch and dinner but we often didn’t want that, and when we asked if we could just have the main but no starter or desert we were told the price was still the same. There is no electricity during the day, only in the evenings. Generally there isn’t a lot of care or attention to detail throughout the property, and it feels a bit slapped together to get in on the tourist market and get as much money out of you as possible for as little as possible.
The location was great, a short walk to the national park. The room was nice with a gorgeous view of the forest, probably the best view you’ll get in Buhoma. The shower and toilet were good. Food was tasty.

There was no power before late night. No light in the bathroom. The dinner we had was average, but good enough. However we were not very happy about the place and we decided to stay only one night instead of two as we had scheduled. We asked if we could get half of the price for the second night in return, but they had a explaination about the money already had been transferred to Kampala (we paid by cash, dollars) Next morning we could get half of the price back but the amount suddenly equaled the price for dinner for 4 people + lunch packets for 4 - the price was 90$. Simply too much, as the food was just average.
The view. The staff. The breakfast.

Need TVs in rooms and bar areas and more alcohol varieties. Hot water system needs cleaning.
I enjoyed the scenery to Bwindi Forest National Park while seated at the balcony. Local Uganda dishes prepare were nice. I liked the materials used in construction of the lodge!

Electricity is only from a generator from 6am to 8 and at night from 7pm to 11pm. Generator is a bit noisy but not horrible. Limited phone charging options. Very limited wifi. No cold drinks as no refrigerator.
Very close to the national park where the gorilla trek will begin

The meals are very expensive. I would recommend securing them elsewhere, especially your lunch.
The view from the lodge is very special. It has a nice secluded feel. The owner is really friendly. It's very close to the Gorilla-tracking center.

Food was way overprized with 15 usd for lunch and 15 usd för dinner. The quality was not high end and I payed less than 3usd för the same food at better accomodations.

Bwindi in itself is a beautiful place. The lodge was not very comfortable, no parking space, limited walk way. The management not very professional. More about money then thinking of the guests comfort first, does not seem very worried about their reputation of their lodge as long as they get their money. Booked 3 nights, spent one night only, but we had to pay for all 3 days as we were told no cancellation were allowed because of the policy, off course we were at a disadvantage being foreigners and did not wish for any problems. All in all, It was a very Disappointing and sad experience. I don't wish for any other people to be treated this way.
Very far from fluffy eggs and cloudy beds. Staff were very good and hospitable.
