Our Rooms & Rates

  Suprfriendly staff - The staff, Maureen and Myriam made our stay to a delightfull experience. The GH is simple and looks like a jail. But the staff keeps it clean. You. Can ask... Read more them anything. They prepare the food you want. Nothing you ask them is too much.

  Perfect Place to stay in Kisoro - We stayed there for 3 nights, hiking in the Sabinyo and the Muhavura during the days. The staff speaks little english, but is very friendly. Breakfast was included in the... Read more rate for the room (20usd for a double room) and served every morning at 0530 sharp. Would always stay there again if going to Mgahinga NP.

  The friendliest guesthouse in Uganda - We stayed here for a couple nights and all of us said that it was our favourite place we’d stayed during our two weeks in Africa. The rooms are basic... Read more but clean, the food was really good (especially the banana pancakes), and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and made us feel so at home.

  Simple guesthouse with great staff - Me and a friend stayed at Sawasawa Guesthouse for two nights. The rooms are simple but fine, as well as the shared shower/toilet. The staff is the best you can... Read more wish, they are always ready to help you with anything. From arranging bikes to fixing the hot water in the shower to making a nice breakfast. Really nice (and cheap) place to stay 🙂

  Clean, friendly, calm and tasty! - We spend there only one night but in our 3,5week travel Uganda this was our favorite place to stay. The place is run almost exclusively by women, that's probably the... Read more reason behind its cleanliness and warmth:-) You can probably find cheaper place but to us it was worth it.

  We had a lovely clean room with a decent shower and comfortable bed. The car was securely parked on their premises and the breakfast included was decent. The big plus... Read more is the friendly staff who are quick to welcome you back from any visit out of the guesthouse. It's in a nice part of Kisoro which itself isn't massive but anything you would want (UWA, coffeepot, shop) are nearby.

  Food the best in town - I wish I would have stayed at sawa sawa. Unfortunately, I only had the pleasure of eating there, but didn't regret that one bit. The chef is amazing. She is... Read more personable with an infectious smile. The food is truly home cooked so be prepared to wait a bit. The coffee is good as well. I wouldn't recommend you anywhere else but here.

  I felt at home - The staff at Sawasawa embraces you with their hospitality. Throughout my whole stay I always felt like they were really caring about me.
The food was really good and super... Read more fresh. When I was spontaneously added to a gorilla trip at 7 am in the morning, they gave me something to eat and drink and I did not even have to ask for it. Plus, when I came back, they even helped me washing my clothes.
It was also very nice to talk to them. I would definitely stay at Sawasawa again.

  Best value in Uganda - I spent one week here in November 2015 while doing some research for my P.hD. The staff were very helpful and really helped me in many ways. Security was excellent... Read more and we were treated like royalty. I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel if you are looking for low budget friendly no-frills accommodation.

  For me was this 'The Perfect Place' to stay in Kisoro - This is a comfortable budget hotel. You have everything you need. It is very clean. A good breakfast (perfect on time). And friendly and helpful staff.... Read more I have stayed there several times, and for sure, I will go back!

  Perfect place for a stay in Kisoro - friendly staff, cozy atmosphere - I travel back and forth to Kisoro relatively often and I've now stayed at Sawa Sawa three times. The staff, including Molly, are all super friendly and helpful, the place... Read more is very clean and nicely decorated, the rooms feel cozy. Breakfast is very good (just clarify in the evening to make sure you've ordered everything that can come with the breakfast), usually included in the price; and always exactly on time. The location is great, just on the edge of town, and quiet at night. The staff can help with activities/arrangements around town. Pretty much perfect!

  Nice stuff - The room was very clean and comfortable,
food was really tasty, and the owner Molly was really helpful. She helped us arranging transports, exchanged money for us at good... Read more rate. I think she can also help you to acuire gorilla permit or organize any other activity. This lady really has connections in Kisoro 😉
And the place is also a very good starting point for gorilla trek.
Wish them all the best.

  Nice Hotel - The Sawa Sawa Hotel looks like a jail , no garden, iron doors , but it is very clean , comfortable, and they have good food and they have a... Read more nice driver driving you everywhere you want -for a good price

  Very friendly - Ended up here after visiting Rafiki Guesthouse down the road which was part of our overland tour. This guesthouse is so much better in every-way. The staff are... Read more amazingly friendly and made us feel so welcome. Julius was able to organise a visit to a local coffee farmer at a really good price, compared to the other tours that our group was 'forced' to take, ours sounded way better and more personal.
The rooms are quite nice and really good value, compared to Rafiki. We had pre-paid for Rafiki through our tour, it was cheap and far nicer to stay here and lose the money we had pre-paid. The others on tour even came to have look, and stayed there.
No Wifi, but cheap internet cafe nearby.

  Nice atmosphere but expensive for what you get - After negotiations we came to 20dollar a night incl breakfast.
The rooms have jail like doors as you see on a lot of buildings in Uganda. Not my taste but... Read more ok.
The hot shower was not working and I could even feel the voltage on the showerhead. I told the manager she said she would ficks it. Next day, not ficksed.
We had dinner there once. That was actually really nice.
Breakfast was standard, nothing special.
The people who work there are all very friendly and I wish them all the best. A little extra effort and the place would be nice for the money.

  Excellent value for money! - Clean and comfortable budget hotel. Small rooms but the showers are clean and hot. Friendly staff and very helpful. Close to the main part of town. Food was good for... Read more Uganda, though perhaps could put a bit more thought into the standard menu.

  With a group of 7 people we stayed in this guesthouse. Especially the hosts made a friendly impression on us. We spended 2 nights here and we had dinner and... Read more breakfast every day. The food was of good quality for a good price. The rooms where clean and we had our own bathroom. This guest house is a good place to reach the national parks Bwindi and Mgahinga from. We had a nice stay here and we would like to thank the hosts again!

  Maureen and her staff are the most caring hosts. They woke up at 5am to fix us breakfast before our track.
We enjoyed staying here, you get so much... Read more for your money: delicious meals, very clean rooms, warm showers, a good talk in the cafeteria,...!
Lovely place. I'd absolutely return when in Kisoro.
