My partner and I stayed here for two nights when travelling through Uganda and it has been one of the best experiences ever. Beautiful location, very spacious and nicely decorated rooms, excellent cuisine and very welcoming service. For example, all our clothes were dirty and we arrived late at night, but still a staff member was so kind to wash... More

The hotel is located at the lake Bunyonyi. From my room I had a wonderful view to the lake. I had a nice room in the first floor - do not remember the number. The room and bath room were clean and nicely equipped. I had a big balcony from where I was able to spot different birds. In the... More

Stated for two nights in January. Took a wonderful tour with Johnson and Captain Dan all round the lake. The lake is 900 metres deep but you can swim as it is warm enough. Delicious crayfish and excellent steaks. Smiling, unhurried service. Will be back.

We ended a four week stay in Uganda with two days at Birdnest. It was the perfect place to finish our journey because all we had to do at Birdnest was to relax! You could sit the entire day looking out over Lake Bunyonyi and you wouldn't tire of it. Watching the boats cross back and forth, watching the birds,... More

Had the most wonderful 3 night stay at Birdnest as part of our honeymoon. The staff were absolutely wonderful, Gideon, Sarah and the whole team were fantastic. The food was by far the best we had in Uganda. The setting is fantastic with stunning views over Lake Bunyonyi. There was a lovely pool by the water's edge and a lovely... More

This was my first time staying at the hotel after eating lunch twice previously. Definitely one of the best resorts in the area. The hotel is built on a great location overlooking the lake. Pablo has spent a lot of time in planning and decorating it. The rooms were big and clean. Everything was working well in the bathrooms. The... More

Birdnest is a beautiful hotel looking down over a deep crater lake in a stunning tropical setting. We drove to the hotel from Tanzania and lost our way! After 16 hours on mostly dirt roads, we got to Birdnest at 11.15 p.m. We appreciated the sandwiches which were made for us, but, despite offering to pay for a room, we... More

We had a fantastic 4-night stay here in December 2012. The owners are delightful, friendly but not intrusive. The staff are attentive, always smile and we were treated to some traditional dancing and singing one afternoon. They seem genuinely happy to be working there, which is great to see. We love the dog Pacino! The views over the lake are... More

We decided to stay at Birdnest by paying extra on top of our gorilla trekking safari and we were glad we made that decision. We were welcomed by Pacino the resident dog after a long drive from Ruhija. The staff was friendly and we were shown to our deluxe room with a lake view soon after. The room was clean... More
