It is conveniently close to airport area so a taxi should only cost 12000-15000UGS and you can book your ride through Backpackers. It's relaxed and basic accommodation, no frills but cheap price! Shared bathroom singles are UGS 25000 and a stand alone bungalow double is 40000 and worth the privacy and onsite bathroom. They aren't new or glamorous but it's... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights and I thought it was excellent. Amazing value at £6.25 per night and a lot nicer than a few hostels I have stayed at around Europe. It is a hostel so don't expect 5 star luxury but the staff were friendly and it was clean.

This place was horrific! As soon as we arrived things looked pretty grim - the guy checking us in couldn't have given less of a rats about the fact that we were there, he was beyond unfriendly and his whole attitude gave the impression we were inconveniencing him by being there. We were given the double room which is basically... More

There's not much more to say than the title. The place is fine, standard backpacker lodging, and the dorm room was the cheapest one I saw in Uganda. There were big holes in the mosquito nets, the bathroom wasn't immaculate, and the food seemed overpriced, but it seemed no worse than other backpacker places in Uganda. Wifi & a big... More

I couldn't recommend Entebbe Backpackers enough. The staff are friendly and will go out of their way to help. The rooms are clean, the location is perfect. It has that homely feeling where you can easily curl up on the coach and watch tv with other guests or with the staff (especially if there is football on!). The food is... More

I stayed here for one night, before my departure from Entebbe. I had one room to myself. The room was okay - relatively clean, averagely decorated, but it did have a fan which was good. I had a comfortable sleep. The food is pretty good, but relatively expensive. The staff are cordial, but do not go out of their way... More

This place was good for the price. I had to catch a plane at 4am so I wanted to be close to the airport. It was okay. Theres always people to talk to-- so its good if youre traveling alone. The one big hassle was that they decided to re-paint a room while it was being occupied. It's not healthy... More

We arrived late (11pm) into Entebbe in November and had to coerce the receptionist into finding our reservation. The room was small, a bed and a chair and a few hooks, a mosquito net with a few large rips in it and a fan without the right plug for the socket. A typical backpacker's type place though and fine for... More
