LAGOON RESORT

We stayed at Humura for a work trip and it was a convenient and comfortable stay tucked away on a quieter street in the heart of Kampala. This hotel was like a peaceful getaway once we got inside with the beautiful green spaces beside the pool.

The rooms are spacious, well-lit, and feature beautiful natural materials, like wood, which gives the place a calming and earthy vibe.

The staff were incredible and made this place a special home away from home. Fiona was attentive, polite, and quick to assist with any inquiries or special requests. I came down with food poisoning while in the town and the staff took special care checking in on me and ensuring I was able to navigate what I needed to rest and get well.

Sophie at the kitchen made sure I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner served and even delivered to the room when I was ill.

The hotel also include a well-maintained gym with a treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, and an assortment of weights. The outdoor pool, although not Olympic-sized, is clean and inviting enough for a dip and swim.

If you're visiting Kampala and want a place that offers a sense of escape while being close to the city's attractions, this hotel is highly recommended!

Friendly safe and nice breakfast

Google should really consider adjusting its rating system to give weight to reviews according to time spent in a location. As I write this review in September 2023, I've been living in what has been home for over 8 months now: Acacia Villa. I calmly challenge reviews below a 4-star review as one should pose the question of why a visiting researcher like myself or other long-term guests would stay at Acacia Villa for as long as we have if any negative claims are remotely true?

Having lived at the Villa as long as I have, you not only see a hostel across different seasons, but you come to know its heartbeat at a depth. The biggest "issues" I've repeatedly observed at the Villa have, much to my surprise, been unpredictably entitled clients that come from the sampling pool of life.

I would give my own heart away from any one of the staff members at Acacia Villa. Every single staff member, not a single one exempt, is integrity personified. Whether it be Emmanuel at our gate, infectiously spreading joy to each guest, or Janet and Abiyo, magically hammering away in the kitchen to cook up the ABSOLUTE BEST rolex in town, the amount of heart, reverence, and raw care they put into everything they do is completely unmatched.

I could write an entire books about Acacia Villa and dedicate chapters to each wonderful person. I refrain from a writing novel now because 1) if you've had the sincere privilege of meeting even one of them, you rest peacefully knowing how inaccurate and horribly fabricated many of these negative reviews are having witnessed some of these alleged "claims", and 2) people of integrity and respect need not defend themselves for they are honorable in nature.

I would not think twice to recommend Acacia Villa. If you're looking for a sweetly energetic hostel, located walking distance to central spaces and with a peaceful/safe neighborhood, sincerely look no further. Acacia Villa is the place to make and call home while in Uganda.

Best people and the best memories. It was a dream living here for 3 months. Loved it
