ViaVia Entebbe

The accommodation's key advantages include a diverse breakfast, comfortable rooms, convenient location, friendly staff, cleanliness, and a range of facilities. Some guests also found it cost-effective.

This place is big and they offer a variety of things. However the service is very mixed. To be honest we wanted to give them 3,5. It’s not possible and therefore we wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Service: it really depended which who you were talking. Some were very friendly others didn’t care that much. Rooms: spacious and very happy with a private bathroom. Bed was comfortable. They only clean when you ask for it. It is not necessary to clean every day, however we stayed 5 days and we believe after 3 days you at least need to check for the towels and bins. Amenities: 1) when we were there so many times we didn’t had any power (electricity). We heard some discussions of the staff about this. A bit weird. 2) there is a pool. The water is freezing cold and chairs are a bit hard. Still very nice to relax. 3) their restaurant garden is very nice and romantic. Overall food is good. We were pushed to pay the bills even though we were informed that we could pay when checking out. That was a bit strange. 4) they offer tours and stuff. We did one, it was okay-ish. It was to the capital. We didn’t like the end because all of the sudden the tour was finished but no one told us at what time we were supposedly to be done. 5) drop off and pick up service from the airport is very affordable. 6) option for a late check out that was very nice as we had a late flight. 7) a small store. Location: closely to the airport. A bit away from Kampala but we didn’t mind it at all. It truly felt like an oasis inside the tiny resort. Price: we paid less than €60 per night including breakfast.

I have been staying at ViaVia Entebbe multiple times, and it now feels like I am coming home. The location is great, and the staff is very helpful and attentive. This time, we also added a three-day safari. Every aspect of it was amazing! Our driver and guide, Danny, did an amazing job: He is knowledgeable, attentive, careful and as excited as his customers about checking off the animals on the bucket list. He is passionate about his work, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We did a rhino trekking, the Murchison Falls, two game drives and a boat tour. We skipped the chimpanzees, which we now regret. This will be the reason to repeat the trip :)!. Thank you to Linda for organizing the trip so carefully and being available throughout, and to Danny for making this such a great experience!
