Poor
The staff are friendly and hospitable.
No sheets change, they don't take card payments, no restaurant service so you've got to pretty much carry your own food and drinks. Nearest supermarket is a fair walk and for the cherry on top, apparently they lock the clients in at night while the staff sleep in outside quarters. I literally had to jump from my upper room balcony to get to my car and hoot loud enough for them to hear so I can rush my wife to hospital!

Disappointing
I booked and paid for nine nights. After five nights I was asked to leave because she had another booking. She knew this when she accepted payment for the stay. She drove me to a nearby hotel and she paid for me to stay there for the balance of my stay in Kampala. The property was ok but this treatment I found unacceptable.

Pleasant
The room I was in was a little threadbare but it had a comfortable bed, if you moved the TV a little you could make the table in the corner a functional office. Room had a tub, not real common in Kampala properties. Didn't have a huge mosquito problem despite being relatively close to the water. Breakfast was alright. The area is within walking distance of some rather excellent restaurants, something to consider. Owner accepted a PayPal for room payment. Most of the staff was nice. Owner is open to negotiation if sudden developments occur, and was very flexible in that instance, which I appreciate.
The first two days were fine, the last day was very unusual however. Around 1PM local time we were informed a large group was coming in to the property via AirBnB and the owner had a view to move us to her alternative property, the Apricot. My SO was just coming off a cold so she was rather unwilling to move, and I wasn't sure about Apricot myself (indeed I ultimately preferred the Papaya over the two). I did negotiate with the owner over particulars and we did ultimately agree to relocate, but despite being informed this is normal in the hotelier industry by the owner, I had never encountered this kind of development before in any other country, and other stay owners I recounted the story to in Entebbe were appalled. Unsurprisingly, I am unlikely to do repeat business at either location, despite the pleasant first two days at Papaya. At the very least, the risk of an unexpected or chaotic development isn't worth it.

Clean beddings/linen and towels were consistently clean I loved ? it as is most important for me to sleep comfortable. I could not have stayed without this.
Tiny insects which I think no one else can see. They were seen all over my staff, surfaces and floor. Constant use of bleach or Fumigation could help.

Lovely friendly staff and a very nice place to stay for 2 nights. It was clean and has all the basics you need.
It was great for a budget stay! A mirror in the bathroom would be nice but to be honest, no complaints here.

The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Also, lovely home cooked meals. The neighborhood is calm.
It would be nice if they accepted card payments. AC in the room would also be great. But for the money, it's a very good value, would highly recommend.

Staff are attentive, caring and try to make you feel welcome.
The resort is outdated and in severe need of maintenance and repair. My bathroom door came out of it's hinges.
