great place to stay on way in or out of Uganda. I loved the white duvets. And they make amazing little touches to go with food. I had the curry and chutney should be bottled. Same goes for the passion fruit curd. Doesn't take much to make a home away from home and these Irish folk have nailed the market.... More

After a month of remote travel, I was tired, dirty and hot. The day before I left I was lucky enough to find this gem. A nice shower to get clean, relaxing and cooling off by the pool, and a kind of quiet one could never find in Kampala was just what I needed to prepare for the long flight... More

This location is far superior to Kampala which is extremely congested (good luck getting to the airport on time!). Considering that it is near the airport, it is extremely quiet. We heard no planes, and slept like babies. The only sounds were the pleasant tropical birds that woke us up in the morning. Our stay was before and after safari... More

I use the Boma every time I have an early departure or late arrival at the airport. The staff is very welcoming. The menu is varied and items always available. Water heating system is solar powered so ideal in a country with sporadic electricity supply. Ideal for business travelers or safari clients who want a comfortable place to stay before... More

We enjoyed another peaceful night here after over 2 weeks in Uganda on our way to the airport. Lovely welcome, nice room, hot water and a lovely meal enjoyed in the restaurant with good service. Free use of wifi on laptop. Plenty of choice for an early breakfast before a short transfer to the airport. Grounds are peaceful and relaxing.... More

Clearly this is more than an airport hotel, with a degree of charm. However, it's a bit shabby, too hot and there are lots of mosquitoes here. It's also a bit overpriced for what it is.

Thanks for your review, and sorry that you did not have a good stay. This review has come nearly a year after your stay so it is difficult for us to pinpoint exactly what caused the problems you mentioned. For sure Entebbe has a lot of insects, and the town is subject to Lake flies during certain seasons (I wonder... More

Certainly not your typical airport hotel, the grounds feel secluded and airy. It is an oasis of calm in busy Entebbe. There is a nice pool and a manicured garden to relax in. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the food ok (burgers/western food feature extensively). You get an airport transfer from the hotel itself. Altogether a wonderful choice... More

Great place to break the madness traveling to Airport. Great place to get away from Kampala for the weekend.

We really enjoyed staying at The Boma and will return in the future, they were very warm and welcoming, the Owner sat and spoke with us while we waited for our room,(we arrived early) and told us about some of her adventures in Uganda. The Boma feels like you are in the middle Africa, just being there makes you think... More

Our tour companions were booked at the Boma whereas we were unlucky enough to be booked at the Lake Victoria instead. As the food and service there were so abysmal we joined our friends at the Boma for dinner. We are so glad we did. The staff could not have been more welcoming and the food was some of the... More
