Detailed Reviews
The rooms were good. There is enough space except the bathing area is little narrow. The place was calm and quiet since it is out of town. The hospitality is too good and the staffs at reception were too kind and polite . But the room service was average (forget to change bathroom soaps and forget to put floor mat) and the internet was too bad. I had to go to reception lounge to access internet. Only the rooms near to reception were accessible to good internet. The food is good but no spice.

My wife and I travelled to Fortportal for our Anniversary. We ended up setting camp at Kalya courts where we had a good experience with their service. We were given a warm welcome at the reception by staff who wore their masks at all times.The rooms were clean and spacious although the tv had very few channels (a minor issue really). We really appreciated the housekeeping staff who cleaned our room well and did our laundry for the time we were there. The food was good and chefs were attentive to our requests, however they need to expand on their menu for new cuisines...
We would highly recommend the place for those who are looking for a quite gate-away from the city.

I've stayed at Kalya courts a few times, both on work projects. The first time it was for just one night, and had to leave very early the next morning. We notified the kitchen staff that we needed to have our breakfast ready by 6am, and they agreed. Next morning we got to the kitchen, which is about 700m from the rooms, and there was nobody. We left without breakfast. Second time we stayed for a week, and found the kitchen is not their strong point. The food is bland and uninspiring, and lacks variety. But the rooms are good, and the wi-fi is excellent, main reason why we stayed all those days and didn't move to another hotel.

This place is in need of repair badly. Starting off the internet did not work and we couldn’t get it to work all night. The tv didn’t even have the proper plug to plug it in. So we used our adapter and got it working. It hid ONE channel. The toilet was loose. It would fall over on you if you didn’t watch it. The bed is small. Hot water was not on and after they turned it on and we all waited for it to warm up before taking a shower we had a very had time regulating the temperature. The drain didn’t work so water got all over the bathroom. NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!!! Would not recommend it to anyone. I would never stay here again.

I stayed at Kalya Courts for a week, and I had a wonderful time! When I arrived, I was a little under the weather, and the staff checked on me and made sure that I was alright, which I greatly appreciated travelling by myself. Everyone was very welcoming and extremely willing to help me with arranging travel plans and making sure I made the most of my time in Fort Portal. The grounds were very beautiful and well cared for, and the food was good as well.

I stayed here with my US mission team of 14. The owner and manager made us their Number 1 priority and I immediately felt at home. The lush, green courts were like being in paradise. The food was delicious and the complimentary breakfasts were great. The rooms were clean and stocked with high quality, plush towels. They are in the process of building new rooms and updating the existing ones with wi-fi. (There is free wi-fi in the lounge/bar/restaurant area). All of the servers were extremely friendly and patient with the needs of our large team. I struck up lifelong friendships with them and I will miss everyone there. I will definitely return to Kalya Courts one day!

A business trip led me to the clean, sleepy town of Fortportal. Having last visited " Fort" over a decade ago, l had no clue of the "in"places to stay. On recommendation by a friend, l ended up at Kayla Courts.lt was love at first sight....
Amazing gardens....serene environment and an amiable proprietor.
Clean , tidy rooms, an extremely comfortable bed with the softest linen....and great breakfast in the open dining room while enjoying the beautiful scenery...
I am hooked. I will come again and again

Loved the pleasant soothing worship music played every morning in the open air dinning area. Wifi available there. Food served quickly. Even prepared a wonderful birthday celebration for our group! Can't wait to return there.

I visited Kalya Courts with friends in April, 2014. It's located about 11/2 miles from Fort Portal. The food is delicious. We had our dinner in a well-maintained garden. kalya Courts also has a full bar. We were served by friendly, courteous staff. We were joined by the gracious owner, David Kalya. The hotel was fully booked & occupied, a sign, probably, of the excellent service the place is renowned for.

Kalya Courts was a beautiful place to stay. My husband and I stayed here along with two other couples. Rooms were very clean, the grounds are beautiful, and the staff was wonderful! We all utilized their laundry service at least once...our clothes were very clean and it was very inexpensive. We ate in the restaurant on site at least twice a day...the food was really good and the service was great. It's a quiet place to stay and close to the center of Fort Portal. I look forward to all of our future accommodations at Kayla Court!
