A hidden gem this one is, set by lake Victoria. I was blown away by the sheer amount of greenery in it’s well tended gardens and then the peace and quiet around this property has to be experienced for one to believe. Although I must point out that Sunday to Thursday will be my choice of days for my next visit as I like it quiet. The weekend Friday and Saturday brings in quite a bit of party people. The room and linen were very clean. The pool was very clean too. The staff were very polite and always available to help whenever needed. Overall I give it 10/10. I will definitely visit again in the near future

Power went out in the night and when it came back on the tv ended up waking me up. As well when ordering through the menu the waitor advised me and my spouse that the buffet was free for those staying at the hotel, only for when I checked out I had a outstanding bill of 80,000. Train your staff better , because of the risk of missing the ferry back to kampala I agreed to pay 55,000 But I still feel ripped off. Will never book here or stay at Brovad even if it was for free .

The staff at Brovad Sands are excellent. They were courteous, helpful and always smiled. The hotel site was really lovely. It felt safe and relaxed. My only negative observation would be that the room i was first in had problems. The bath tap was disintegrating and was leaking from multiple places. During a downpour one night, the floor inside the room was soaked because the door at the front and back of the property let water in. I paid to upgrade to another chalet. I would like to have been given a concession on the price due to the inconvenience caused to me but that wasn't given. Anyway, the good outweighed the bad by far so I'd recommend this hotel as a place to stay.
