“Nice and peaceful hotel”
The place felt very homey and peaceful. The garden around was also very nice. The staff was extremely helpful (special thanks to Diane!!) And going into town or the beach from the hotel was easy. The communication was great too all along. I highly recommend if you're in Entebbe.

“Fantastic!”
My stay was peaceful, restful and happy! The breakfast was wonderful. Joyful literally cooked my eggs to order. The location was absolutely perfect. The bed was so very comfortable I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. I want to give a special thanks and shout out to Joyful and Gloria, who were particularly spectacular. They were on point with every detail. I also want to say a heartfelt thank you to the young man who drove me to the airport. He was a true professional and was very kind. I apologize for not remembering his name, but I will not soon forget his positive attitude. Frankly, I am exacting when it comes to timeliness and meeting the standard. Okra House makes the grade across the board and I recommend them to anyone needing a place to stay in Entebbe. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Respectfully, Z

What a calm and peaceful environment! Greeted after travelling with a friendly welcome, a comfy seat and a cold bottle of water. Such lovely, kind and friendly staff who are always around and willing to help. Spacious rooms and the balcony was fantastic...we sat and rested there, watching casked hornbills, sunbirds and plantain eaters (turaco species). Lovely breakfast of fruit and eggs (cereal if you would like it too) with unsweetened brown bread for toast- what a luxury in Africa! Can't recommend this place highly enough...the photos, while accurate, just aren't able to convey the warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. We returned a week later, for another wonderful stay and collected my case that staff had kept for me...thank you to everyone 😊

“Nice and comfortable stay in a charming mansion close to the airport (incl. free shuttle service)”
Nice old mansion. Friendly, welcoming staff. Room was nice and some items were renovated since my last stay in January (eight month ago). Although close to the airport, it's quiet (except for some pets of the neighbourhood).
