Lovely quiet location whilst being close to Kabalagala. Staff were great. Just a bit basic. No bed side light so had to turn off light by door and struggle in dark to find bed! Would be great to have kettle and tea! Hot water ok if you wait! Breakfast was great!

    I recently stayed at C and C House and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The property is charming and meticulously maintained, with a perfect blend of comfort and style. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The location is beautiful, offering easy access to local attractions while still providing a peaceful retreat. I felt right at home and can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

    We had an amazing stay at TGS Homestay in Kampala. The location was perfect, and Emmanuel's professionalism and warm welcome made us feel right at home. The sweet, fresh fruits added a delightful touch, and the comfortable, quiet atmosphere exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this homestay and look forward to returning in the future.

    Great location; quietness, and accessibility to all other facilities like retail shops, pharmacies, clinics/hospitals, supermarkets and the main Kampala Entebbe Road which can easily connect one to the city centre and the airport. Great support from the hosting staff Mr Keith and all other people taking care of the property.

    The stay was perfect. Fred and Winnie are great hosts. I arrived without my luggage and they asked me if I needed things and bought me some necessities. The setting is very beautiful, the house very secure, it is quite far from the center of Kampala which allows you to be quiet. Do not hesitate to book. Looking forward to returning to your beautiful home.
