Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Wonderful place to stay in Masindi! The hosts, Doreen and Nicholas are wonderful! Tours can be easily booked for chimpanzee trekking, Kiwa Rhino Sanctuary and Murchison Falls safaris. The rooms and bathrooms are extremely clean.
Negative: The restaurant next to the backpackers is overpriced and not that good. There’s no other choice though. Always ask what don’t they have first. Avoid ordering burgers as they don’t know how to make them. Wifi is very spotty and works best by the pool, not in the rooms. The bathrooms are a good walk away from the rooms as well. There’s a pool but it costs 20.000 UXG to access it.
Summary: The staff Doreen and Nicholas make up for any shortcomings!
