I stayed at the guesthouse twice, once for a week in a single (Room 18) and the second time in a double (Room 1). The former was tiny and airless; demand a fan when you check in. Room 1 was huge but incredibly noisy. Rooms 1-8 are situated adjacent to the bar/restaurant and are in full hearing of every story,... More

I enjoyed my time at Mak GH and overall recommend it as a place to stay but had a couple issues during my time there. The rooms were great and toilets/shower very good. The kitchen was decently priced and breakfast was fantastic everyday (although go right at 7:30 or you will miss out). African tea on the lawn at night... More

Overall stay was very pleasant until I checked out. When I asked to pay with a credit card or US dollars I was told they only accepted Uganda Shillings. That was fine, I walked to a nearby ATM machine on campus and withdrew what I needed. However, when I checked my bill and the attached receipts I found many receipts... More

I stayed at the Mak Univ guest house in June and July of 08 with a large group (classmates). Given what the guest house is dealing with (intermittent power being the biggest one) I feel like they're doing a pretty good job. However, that being said, Americans heading there will do a good job if they adjust their expectations of... More

Makerere University guest house offers a secure accommodation. It is particularly suitable for first time visitors until you become familiar with the city. There are two wings to the guest house. The single rooms section consist of very old furniture and poorly maintained beddings. The doubles section is new and very clean. I would recommend that anyone who wishes to... More
