It is located on top of a crater and is nice to be if you need some lonely place to relax. Only disadvantage is that this is very popular with local visitors who come for the swimming pool and Pizza and sometimes tend to be noisy and crowded

We stayed in the family loft with the most gorgeous view! The staff were so flexible in meeting our needs as a "Ugandan-Canadian family" with young children and went out of their way to guide and accomodate us. It was a very reasonably priced weekend holiday as we had breakfast included, bought a great supper in the restaurant one night, and barbecued our own food in the campground another night with the help and company of the staff. Just perfect. We will be back!

We highly recommend BellaVista hotel ā€“ great location with amazing crater view, both from the room and of course from the 360 degree restaurant viewpoint. Hotel team is very friendly, caring, patient & attentive (they took care of our family so nicely, making us feel at home). The restaurant serves the tastiest dishes, we thought we're in an Italian restaurant. The room was very clean & comfortable. We enjoyed our stay (5 days) very much, and would like to thanks the team for a wonderful stay and great memories.

Incredible place!! We went to Bella Vista Lodge to rest from a month trio around Uganda. And it has been our little oasis. The food was great, with different options (lagsane, salad, pasta, pizza, meat...). The room were awsome. We stayed in a room with a balcony to the lake. We had lunch there. We really have to thank to Francis, the manager and all the staff. They are all of them incredibly heloful and nice. They made our stay perfect. Ah!! And it has git a swimming pool!
