The Kansiime Backpackers

The pleasure of visiting the place was worth, and it was an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the serene ambiance and breathtaking views of the lake. The room service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable.
But what truly stood out was the peace of mind I experienced during my stay. The resort's tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I felt rejuvenated and refreshed, and my mind was at ease.
And then, of course, there was the food! Oh, the food! The resort's culinary team truly outdid themselves, serving up delicious dishes that showcased the best of local flavors. But the standout star was, without a doubt, the crayfish. I've never tasted fish so tender and chewingumish texture, flavorful, and expertly prepared. It was truly the tastiest fish I've ever had the pleasure of eating!
Overall, my stay at this resort on Lake Bunyonyi was an unforgettable experience. With its stunning views, exceptional service, and mouthwatering cuisine, I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful and indulgent getaway.

Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our experience at Kansiime. We were the only guests there, yet it took over 3 hours to get our food, our empty bottles and ash tray were not cleared up for a day, and we found the service to be generally slow and unfriendly. Additionally, we were asked to pay in cash for our dinner, which we found to be slightly strange as the rooms were paid on card. We were made breakfast very early one morning, as we were going to see the gorillas, which we were thankful for, but we were surprised to not even be asked about our excursion when we returned later that day. Ultimately, the experience led to us cancelling our second night at the hostel.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, when you ask for something. The place itself is in a beautiful location, the rooms are very basic, but cozy and clean. The food was alright. I liked the overall vibe here, it's very laid back and good to relax. The place definitely lacks some general renovation, though. The power is unreliable and it's really dark in the night and it's been like this for quite some time. Prices for private rooms and also for food are pretty high. Generally, I felt like people really wanted to make money off of everything, maybe because it was shoulder season and not many customers were there.
