One Minor thing: there is a bright light on the terrace of our room, which was illuminating the space at night. Unfortunately we could not switch it off and the curtains did not fully block it. Maybe add some additional curtains

The Hotel was one of our favourite stays in Uganda. It is located in a small village outside of Mbarara in a very calm area. The hotel has very nice gardens and a wonderful view over the Uganda countryside. The staff was very friendly and supportive. We wished that we could have stayed longer

You could hear the shutters to the restaurant being opened and closed but that was only for a short time in the morning and night. Everything else was good.

The architecture and the artwork was wonderful as well as the views from the back of the property. Near to Mbarara. Staff were welcoming and the food was amazing! Looking forward to see what the owners do with the place. The staff even went out of their way to find someone from a local gas station to fix our tyre puncture.

There was nothing we didn't like. Everything exceeded our expectations.

The room was very very spacious, with a very comfortable king size bed. The staff were exceptional. Provided room service as it was raining and we didn't want to venture out to the dining area. It has an extremely large and varied menu at good prices. Wine and beer available too.

I enjoyed everything about this accomodation and in particular the warmth of the personnel. They all do their outmost to make the client happy. Travelling alone in Uganda can be quite a challenge, I felt at home at Gkat resort.

There is nothing not to like.

Richard and the team are great. They were very warm , accommodating and welcoming towards us. The location is just perfect with a country feeling yet also very close to the city centre. The scenery is just awesome, with mountain views, sunsets and sunrises. The camp fires were simply amazing. The catering was perfect, with a wide range of delicious dishes available on the menu and served on time. GKAT is recommended to all with good taste and we. Will certainly visit again.

Exceptional food, staff and ambience. I loved the quiet atmosphere, night fires and nature. Views from the terrace are lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here!

Nothing. Perfect

We had a great stay at GKAT resort. Manager Richard and his super friendly staff made our stay amazing! It’s located just a few minutes outside the heart of Mbarara, has a great garden with beautiful views of the surrounding hills. The chef cooks delicious food and the staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. A crystal clear recommendation for anyone visiting this region. We will return! Did I mention the low prices and clean and comfortable spacious rooms?

All good!

Away from the noisy crowded city. Awesome views. GKAT resort is peaceful and quiet; big room, comfortable beds with hot water; friendly staff and good food! We really enjoyed our stay. The fire in the evening and the chairs around was great! Pork ribs and chicken tikka masala were delicious. And the Wi-Fi is fast! The host was happy to help at all times, they even walked with us to a big pond close to the resort.

Cant think of anything

The people are friendly, the location is peaceful and quiet. Managed to watch a football game to late in the night. The breakfast was timely and well made. Keep it up, will certainly be back!

The food options were limited.

The location was excellent. It is just far enough from the noise of the city but close enough access to the city. The scenic view of the rolling hills and listening to the wildlife at night was soothing.

The resort is approximately 15 minutes fron town. While this may seem far, it gave us a countryside feel and kept us away from the noise in town.

GKAT resort is the perfect spot to unwind. The place is serene and has awesome views. The rooms are quite spacious, and their breakfast will exceed your expectation. While there, be sure to try their pork ribs. The staff are courteous and ready to help. Mr. Richard is an amazing host, ready to help at all times. He recommended Mr. Theodore, a cab operator, who took us to various places around mbarara and to queen Elizabeth National Park. We definitely would want to be back to GKAT.

The property is located on the outside of Mbarara and is a very peaceful place to spend the night. The value for the room was excellent.

The best place to stay in Mbarara, away from the noisy crowded city! In GKAT resort you find peace; amazing furnished room, comfortable beds with hot water; friendly staff and owner and amazing food! We really enjoyed our stay and hands up for the fire in the evening and the chairs around, we can only recommend this place!

Maybe could have a fan or AC in the rooms as it did get quite hot during the night.

Situated in a beautiful location, surrounded by countryside and wonderful views. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food was very nice and there was a large menu to choose from. The English breakfast was cooked fresh and more than enough. Great value for money.

Very awesome value for money! Very nice facility

Fabulous room, very comfortable. Dinner was delicious; I loved the pork ribs, matooke & fish sauce, enjoyed by an open fire overlooking a wonderful vista as the sun dropped. Safe and secure. Overnight security for added peace of mind. Easy to find, just off the road but wonderfully peaceful (no road noise). I’d highly recommend a stay here!

One of the best quality/price hotels that we found in Uganda. It's still under construction, but rooms are nice, good shower, food on point and the view is nice.

Stayed in October 2023

It was absolutely amazing. I fell instantly in love with the beautiful and lovely garden (even though it was dry season, can't imagine how incredible it is in summer time). The stone walls give the whole place a unique warm look. We enjoyed the evening with a stunning view and in the evening with a camp fire and excellent company. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Must be a dream location for weddings. :)
