This hotel is a small oasis, quiet, peaceful and with a super friendly atmosphere. The hotel owner Wilbur and his lovely staff just sweep you off your feet with a level of service not seen in many hotels. The bed was one of the best on our entire trip (fun fact - ask wilbur about how he selects the beds), the food was really tasty and the pool was very clean and well maintained, which is not the case in many other hotels in Uganda. Wifi worked well in the rooms as well as in the pool area. And the best part was, that we actually felt like family, we felt loved and taken care of all the time. Thank you to you Wilbur and your lovely staff - we miss you already!

We stayed one night before our flight. The air conditioning was good in the room, and the bed was comfortable. However, I did not get any hot water for a shower. I left the switch on for some additional time and tried again, but still no hot water. To be fair, it was a hot day, so a cold shower wasn't too bad. I would recommend sticking to the local food served in the restaurant as this was very good. However, the pasta and salad we had the night before was average. Breakfast was good. The staff are very friendly and the massage we had was fantastic! We received a complimentary taxi to the airport which was appreciated and certainly made things a lot easier.

Perfect stay at Mowicribs! All the staff couldn’t do enough to help us and they all are so friendly. This is a hidden gem in Entebbe and I’d recommend it to anyone staying in the area. Some highlights are a beautiful breakfast (which they even held late for us when we returned late from UWEC) ,the shower has great pressure and the balcony was massive!! The rooms are spacious, the beds comfy and the bathrooms massive too! Air con, hairdryer and smart TV also.
