We came here on 5th April 2026 with family and went to the restaurant next to zebra lounge from 4pm to 5.40p.m.. the only service we got as the waiter brought the menu to us and left. No one came to attend to us. We tried calling the waiter/ the reception to place our orders and the only thing its wait a minute and the never said it they just gave us gestures. Worst part is there were Indian guys next table and they would attend to them but pass us like we dont matter. Worst service i would never recommend the place to anyone i feel like i wasted my money because i paid entrance fee for such crap service. I even called the reception to report and the answer i got is why are you calling us if you are at the restaurant? When i question him where should i report then he responded okay i am calling them to come and attend to you but still no one came. It such a nice place but bad service.

This place is purely miracle , you find everything in one place , adventure ! Our room tent facing lake Victoria so breathtaking . Saimon recommended us to try speed boat cruise and it really went well, we went hiking and see the lion , also there is animal zoo . We also did a horse riding. The green environment, great service and tasty tilapia fish . We will come back again.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. The Cottage with plunge pool had an excellent view of lake Victoria and was tastefully decorated. For a tall person( 5'10) ,I must say there beds are quite spacious and comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by nature and makes for a quiet , chilled out spot. The waterbuck restaurant as well as the zebra lounge have a perfect view of the lake . Food was tasty as well. Staff were polite, pleasant and helpful. I would only recommend they add variety to the breakfast menu but other than that Waghill is an excellent hotel . You get bang for your buck

No, no no, and again, no. For the price, we literally just sat in the dark from 6pm to 10 pm and went to bed. The food was fine, the rooms were fine and view/location were beautiful. But the infrastructure is falling apart (a *huge* tree branch laden with about 15 potted plants cracked and fell 3 metres from where we were standing - for no reason but age - we would have been severely injured should any of us be standing underneath). The power went out - that's not unusual - but there's no generator, no solar lights (eco lodge?) and not even a candle or lantern to get us back to our tent. The best part of the place was one person - the waiter - who moved heaven and earth to try to deal with the constant calamities - but where were the manager / reception? We tried to call them several times (no electricity means no wifi, by the way); we tried to call reception - she had gone home. Tried to call the manager - he *hung up the phone* on the waiter twice. Clearly didn't care at all. We were told on check-in that Agoda (our booking agent) was taking the money and not paying the property; and what were we going to do about that - we should have left then. Even, when seeing the horrid state of the road, all washed out in places, and quite dangerous - we should have turned around then. This place has lost whatever glow it once had. A final note? No eco centre should host a sad zoo with a few mal-treated 'local' animals like lions, zebra and camels (???). Heartbreaking and so so so sad for those animals.
