The place to stay in Sipi Falls

The best place to stay in Sipi Falls, with really impressive views of the highest fall around. Sam (the general manager) and his team are really nice and will make you feel at home for sure. Just make sure that you book for your Sipi Falls activities with Moses or any other guide directly advised by Sam (and no any other guide that comes directly to you) in order to make the most out of your visit to Sipi.

This location & views were absolutely amazing!! We would highly recommend it for the value. The only thing we would say is that they need to fix the shower so it flows better & it consistently has HOT water.

Don't stay here!

We have been to Sipi multiple times over the years. Have never stayed here and would definitely not recommend it. We were 2 families with kids. I had booked 2 suites. When we arrived, there were multiple staff members hanging out in the outdoor dining room/reception area but no one came to greet us. I have never had a hospitality experience like that in Uganda. I went to the reception desk and 2 staff members looked confused when I told them I was there to check in. It was clear they were not expecting us and had no record of our reservation. Wifi was broken and cell service was poor but I managed to pull up our reservation to counter their suggestion that maybe I had booked at their hotel in Mbale town. Then it became clear that, not only had they not expected us nor have our rooms ready, but that they actually do not even have 2 suites on the property. We eventually got that sorted and settled on their 1 suite and another banda (1 twin/1 double bed). When I suggested that we had been misled and overpaid for 2 suites, I was told that all rooms are the same price- which is certainly not true based on this website. Later in the evening, we ordered dinner at their restaurant. They have an extensive menu but the food took more than 2 hours to arrive, which was quite frustrating. We pre-ordered breakfast for the following morning, as we had to depart quite early, and this was served 30 minutes later than we had asked for. All in all, quite a disappointment.

Très bel endroit avec une vue magnifique sur Sipi falls et la campagne environnante. Le lodge est confortable, les chambres sont propres, spacieuses et bien équipées. La restauration pourrait être améliorée avec un choix de fruits en dessert, un service plus rapide et des prix revus à la baisse car trop chers . Le personnel est aimable et attentionné. Je recommande cet endroit pour un séjour à Sipi Falls.

All in all the lodge was a nice place to stay, but because of the following reasons, we didn't had a very good time: - unfortunatly it was incredibly loud, as there was another lodge directly neighbouring Sipi Falls Lodge, which was playing loud music from evening till the night directly next to our banda. - the breakfast was except the coffee really good, but the dinner was terrrible: unwashed dirty salad without dressing, most of the fruits or vegtables weren't availbe and the soup we had, was not eatable.

Heavenly location in East Uganda

Probably one of the most wonderful, charming locations one can imagine. Best spot in east Uganda. And with fantastic, friendly staff. They are in the process of upgrading their rooms, which will make the place excellent value for money.
