    Everything was good and would have given it a higher rating until the last night when one of my colleagues had someone enter her room early hours of the morning (which was locked from the inside). Concerning that someone else had a key. She yelled at them and they left. Reported to manager who checked security camera but said it was not working (!)

    Location was very convenient, staff were kind and friendly and very polite. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and quality of food was excellent with good range of choices. Rooms were cleaned everyday, towels thick and lush, bidet in bathroom, large and comfortable beds with plenty of pillows and mosquito nets.

    Our room was right by the kitchen so it was very noisy at night when we were trying to sleep.

    The room was stunning, clean and spacious!

    Suboptimal shower. You need to be lucky with the room in terms of noise, restaurant stays loud over weekends and sometimes there is loud music next door.

    Comfortable rooms, great breakfast and friendly staff.

    A bit noisy at night, but it was a Friday night ....

    Very good breakfast (greatly improved from the last visit, to be honest ). Friendly staff, good location for a working visit to Kampala. Safe parking. Comfortable and spacious room. Very good room service. Secluded shady terrace. Good option to have the evening meal at Mediterraneo on site.

    Rooms need some electrical maintenance. Few sockets did not work. We managed but it might affect others.

    An adorable boutique hotel with lovely rooms. Decor is beautiful. Lots of antique pieces to be seen around the hotel. Staff are very friendly and tend to your every need immediately. There is a vibrant restaurant within the hotel premises which is great for dinner and socializing.

    It is a bit pricey; I think prices could be adjusted for single travellers. Also, I think the policies around eco-tourism could be better implemented e.g. towels/linen do not need to be changed every day.

    The Villa Kololo is located in a beautiful small garden with a fantastic restaurant attached to it. It has a warm, welcoming style. Rooms are spacious though a bit dark. There is lots of wood, lovely furnishings, and the decor is charming. The staff at reception, housekeeping and the restaurant are kind and attentive. The breakfast is excellent. It's a very good base if working in central Kampala.
