The place is very nice, located in a quiet area but still close to the center. The rooms are clean, well-furnished, and very comfortable. The security is excellent, and the food is really amazing, one of the best I’ve had in recent times. The prices match the quality offered. All the staff members were wonderful and very helpful whenever needed. Also, the Wi-Fi is very good, perfect for meetings and work activities. The garden is really beautiful, and everything is well-maintained, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. It’s truly a wonderful place.

The only advice I would give is about the cocktails: the bartender doesn’t seem to be up to the standard of the place, and his attitude was quite arrogant and rude.

We recently stayed at Northern Pearl for a one-night stopover before heading to Kidepo, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice! Sunil, the owner, was a big help and provided detailed guidance to ensure we reached Kidepo safely and was available 24/7, showcasing his genuine care. Furthermore, we were delighted to receive a complimentary room upgrade. The staff were friendly, attentive and always ready to assist. One of the highlights of our stay was the food. We enjoyed the best Indian meal we’ve had in a long time—the butter chicken was out of this world!

Nothing to mention here

I did not get up at the proper times for breakfast. I was either leaving earlier than breakfast, or sleeping long past breakfast time. I ate supper several times. Food was good, not exceptional. Room had hot water, comfortable bed, and cold air conditioning! Staff was excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Room is not luxurious, but I didn't care. No light above the mirror, and only one tv station, but those were minor things to me. Nothing negative to say. Don't expect luxury, but expect comfort and excellent service.

The breakfast was simple. We both had a fried egg and a piece of toast. There was a very basic buffet with a few bowls with cut fruit - pineapple and watermelon - and coffee - we could make instant coffee with nescafe, hot water and hot milk. We had a dinner in the restaurant and the food we chose- Indian -was nice. The bed was very comfortable and had a mosquito net and the pavilion we stayed in was quiet, so we had a good night sleep. The Wifi worked fine.

The bathroom, although spacious, did not have a clear instruction as to how to work the water heater, which we thought simply did not work. We decided to shower cold, which was fine for us. However it appeared to be very difficult for staff to find two towels for us. We just had a tiny small towel and were given one bigger one later. Some of the staff members were obviously not happy with their job.

I loved my little cabana at the Northern Pearl in Gulu. Also the food is amazing. And the garden sure is beautiful for chilling and lounging under the shade of mango trees. Super friendly staff too.

Even with a booking.com discount - you’ll likely get a better deal if you just call the hotel and book a room.

We traveled with students for a school project. The stay at Northern Pearl was in one word: AMAZING. We were warmly welcomed at the hotel, even though we arrived really late in the evening. The rooms are well-sized with really nice beds. The rooms were clean as well. They have lot of things to do at the hotel: darts, a pooltable and a karaoke set. The students really enjoyed their time here. Also good to mention is the food: we had a really nice diner with different options to try from, and all of them were finger-licking good! The hotel has a wall around it, with 4 guard dogs and a guard. This made us feel really safe.

If you are afraid of dogs, that might be a bit of a thing. But the dogs are only out at night and they check very well if everyone is in their room. The owner told us the dogs are friendly. But we had some students who are afraid of all dogs, so they made very sure to double check if there was no dog around. This is the only 'negative' thing I can think of. But on the other hand it is positive as it made us feel really safe that there were the dogs at night.

The staff is lovey! We are a group from Canada and stayed at r the Perl for 8 days and had a wonderful time. Would stay there again. Also very clean and comfy beds

Very clean property. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The property had hot water, electricity without power cuts, internet connection very good. Restaurant serves nice, presentable food.

Staff were accomodating for any issues that arose, breakfast was served on time, located in a gated safe area od rown, convenient to cafes, shops, petrol station. Great stop as a half way to Kidepo from kampla.

Bathroom a little bit outdated,

It was a friendly and nice place. Wi-Fi connection is excellent. Staff was great.

The shower flooded everywhere, something should be done about water evacuation.
