Kelsey

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My stay at Gorilla Valley Lodge was wonderful. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, and the gardens and properties are beautiful with views overlooking the forest (including the mountain where we did our gorilla trek!). The restaurant area sits atop a hill overlooking a valley with 360 views of the mountains and scenery. The entire property is very peaceful and the restaurant served a three-course meal every evening. The rooms were clean with little welcoming touches when we arrived. I honestly have no complaints, and thanks very much to Gorilla Valley Lodge staff for making our stay in Bwindi incredible. Be prepared to pay for everything on site with cash though!
