House vacation rentals in Uganda

We had a few issues that could have been avoided but Sempijja was pleasant and offered us compensation. House wasn’t cleaned properly but he was extremely apologetic and explained it was an oversight. Suggested they provide drinking water for guests, tea/coffee and basic necessities. Lots of congestion with traffic so try to arrive outside of rush hour. The road in off of Masaka Rd is pretty rough but it’s easy to find. The house, pool and gardens are lovely. It’s very private and fairly quiet during the day, however there is a bar nearby that plays loud music until 4-5 am pretty much every night and a mosque nearby that shouts their call to prayer at 5 am. The fan helped drown out some of the noise. Suggestion - you really need fans for every room. There were only 2 for 6 bedrooms. The pool was amazing and beautiful surroundings. Partly shaded by a large palm which is great if you have sensitive skin. All in all we enjoyed our time and will return.

I had great a stay at Hakim's place. He was very responsive and his team were very gracious to support me hold a small gathering of cousins for lunch. He was very clear on the rules and where I needed something we negotiated and agreeable exception. Thanks for the time and great value. I enjoyed being able to go swim at the neighboring hotel and the guidance and support provided for my cousins to have lunch at the place. I'll be back!

Kelly’s place was a gem of a villa. Perfect for families, great attention to detail and a wonderful garden. Poolside is serene and the rooms are very comfortable and well styled. Kelly is a great host and great communicator and the staff are welcoming and helpful! Karibu!

My family and I had an incredible time in this beautiful home! We created wonderful memories that we’ll cherish forever. Carolyn and Junior were exceptionally helpful and flexible, making our stay even more enjoyable. The property caretakers were also fantastic. Our adult children and grandchildren absolutely loved the swimming pool—it was the highlight of their trip! The location was very private, safe, and quiet, providing the perfect retreat for our family. I can’t wait to stay here again on our next trip to Uganda. Thank you, Carolyn and Junior, for an unforgettable experience!

We had a wonderful stay at Khadija’s oasis of comfort! The accommodation is very easy to reach from the city center and offers direct shopping options, as well as a safe environment. We really enjoyed our time there – the small pool was definitely a highlight! Everything was exactly as described, and Khadija was an excellent host. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place. Thank you for the amazing time!

I stayed for eight days, and the place was excellent—clean, secure, and conveniently located near the city center. A supermarket, pharmacy, and bakery were just around the corner. Frank was incredibly friendly, flexible, and welcoming, and the house guard was also very helpful. The house itself was clean, well-furnished, and felt like home. I highly recommend Frank’s place if you’re looking for the best value and a great stay in the city center. Thank you, Frank! I will definitely be coming back.

This place is super modern, spotless, and beautifully designed! The host is very responsive and always available if needed. The close proximity to Acacia Mall is a great advantage, and the washing machine is definitely a big plus! I also liked how clean the kitchen utensils were—something that’s not always the case in other Ugandan Airbnbs. The only downside for me: compared to other places I’ve stayed in here, this one gets very hot inside quite fast. The host does provide fans though, which can help a little bit but are quite noisy.

The apartment was as described(including the bike), I enjoyed my stay and even extended!

It was a great spacious place to stay in a good neighborhood. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. We opted for the chef for breakfast the food and service were great. Would return again someday.

Wendy's home was just what we needed after a LONG flight to Uganda. The house is in an excellent location - close to Victoria Mall, the airport and the zoo. It was cozy for our family of 5 (plus a guest). Lots of places to sleep. And...she has hot water with great water pressure. That was probably the best shower I've ever had in Uganda. Thanks for having us, Wendy!!!

Hilda's place was very nice and we would stay there again. The location is peaceful and private despite it's close proximity to the very busy main road.

Since this was my 2nd stay this year, i knew what to expect. Nevertheless, there were a few improvements which made my stay even more comfortable.

I didn't get to meet John, but I met Mama Jayme who was super super helpful! I booked to prepare for my traditional marriage ceremony, and I surely have no regrets! Amazing Mama Jayme! God Bless Her

Our stay at Irene's was simply delightful, from the cosiness of her home, to its gorgeous views. We were warmly welcomed by her lovely sister Adrine, who was always just a text away and very responsive. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds are big, the house was so clean, and the caretaker was kind and so helpful. The compound is beautiful and well-kept, and security is top notch with lighting and electric fence. We travelled with babies and the home was equipped with everything we needed for them (kettle, fridge, pots and pans, microwave, amd even a washing machine). We really felt right at home, and I will definitely book this place again the next time I am in Mbarara.

The River Haven is absolute paradise retreat. We had a girls weekend here and just loved every minute! The house is gorgeous with so many intentional touches that leave you feeling right at home. The view of the Nile at sunset is breathtaking! Highly recommend!!!

I’ve been a frequent traveler in UG the past 8 years. This is my 4th trip to Uganda in that time. I chose this house for its location near family and friends. It’s nicely situated just south of the Northern Bypass in Kiwatule. Kiwatule is a nice calm suburb and easy access to Ntinda Road and into town. There are shops and restaurants around. The road it’s on is safe and quiet by Ugandan standards. The house itself has all the basics, but by western standards it is basic. It’s clean and well kept by the helpful caretaker who is a female and stays onsite. I stayed here with my son and his aunt and we felt welcome and well cared for. She was helpful at all hours and offered to do housekeeping and laundry for us for a reasonable fee. You will want to bring washcloths and maybe an extra bath towel and dish towels for the kitchen. You’ll need to supply your own TP once the roll you’re given is used up. There are mosquito nets on the bed. But you might want to bring a top sheet if the nice clean duvet is too hot for you. There are no fans. As is common in UG you’ll have to pay for power/electric via a little box on the wall and if you use a lot of gas for the stove (but the fee is very reasonable). There is also WiFi for a fee but I didn’t use it so I can’t say how fast it is. The house is well secured and has a gate and bars on the windows. The neighborhood is nice and one of my favorite places in all Uganda. I would use this house again!

BLT residence is a lovely place, and there are many reasons to want to stay there again. I spent three nights there, in the beautiful home set in the foothills of Mount Rwenzori, with my wife and three young sons. The boys immediately felt at home, running through the landscaped garden and, later, asking if we could stay longer. The place is looked after by a kind caretaker who was very responsive and answered our questions or helped us get things we needed to buy from a nearby shop. Della herself was very responsive from the beginning. The home is located near Rwenzori Founders, a world-famous art center and sculpture gallery. I strongly recommend this property to travelers visiting the Rwenzori region, especially to those traveling as a small group. There is no home in Kasese that’s more tranquil — and more affordable — than BLT residence.

I had a pleasant stay. Very beautiful home with great ambiance. The team is great, well coordiated and always available to help. We had a toddler with and she felt at home. I’ll recomend tnkse looking for a homely and relaxing evironment whishing to gat away from all the noise and distractions, you wont go wrong at Mbale country home. Has a great rustic vibe, finishes, spaces and furniture, really great!

I had a fantastic stay at Barbara's Airbnb with my friends. Barbara's excellent communication and flexibility made the experience even more enjoyable. The place is beautiful, providing a wonderful backdrop for our stay. Highly recommend!

My family and I loved staying here. We would absolutely stay here again. The cartakers Joyce and Emmanuel were incredible! Always so responsive and helpful! The house is great for a family and just what we needed. The rooftop view was awesome place to hang out in the evenings. Away from the downtown so very nice and quite area. Wifi was great and great kitchen to do some cooking at home.

This is cozy house with huge and beautiful garden. We really enjoyed walking gardens in the morning.
