Jinja Nile Resort ★★★★
"Terrifying experience, very beautiful place from a naturalistic point of view but the structure and especially the staff are zero. 2 hours to have dinner in the evening, forgotten questions, waiters who were not informed if there was a product or not. And all this with the hotel almost empty."
Hotel Zeptan ★★★
"We stayed in this hotel for only one night but we had a great time. The staff was especially nice, friendly and helpful. The rooms were a bit smaller but it was enough for two people. It is a more remote area of Jinja but it's safe and calm. Definitely recommend getting grilled fish in the restaurant!"
2 Friends Guest House ★★★★
"We have stayed at 2 Friends several times since 2016 with both the previous and current management. We have explored other hotels and guest houses in Jinja but always return to 2 Friends for good reason, their consistent quality accommodations. The grounds, dining area, and pool are beatifully maintained and there have been upgrades to the rooms (A/C, TV, mattresses, etc.) over the years. Management pays attention to detail and 2 Friends is a very pleasant place to stay and relax. From the time we arrived, Leticia at reception made sure that we were happy with our room and cared for our needs. The housekeeping (Margaret & Prossy) and waitress (Josephine & Zubega) staff are so friendly, helpful, and diligent, as is the chef, Mary, who happily prepares a beautiful breakfast each morning with an extensive selection and even provides some items via order. For lunch or for dinner, food can be ordered from All Friends, the restaurant next door (under different management), and delivered to your room or the dining area at 2 Friends which is a nice feature that we took advantage of several time. We have eaten at All Friends many times since the early 2000's when we lived in Jinja and while we feel that the overall appearance of the restaurant has declined, the pizzas are still very good. If you are visiting Jinja, 2 Friends is well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed. The maintenance of the hotel, incredible staff, and amenities at their price point are unmatched."
Igar Plaza Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Also the food are good. Incase that anyone need to avoid the insects and Reptiles inside the room will be a good choice in Jinja. Also its in the main street of jinja which ia near to almost everything needed include gifts,banks..etc."
studio 62 guest house ★★
Kisa Apartments ★★★
"Nice apartments with a quiet environment"
Jinja Backpackers ★★
"We stayed at Jinja Backpackers for the weekend as three families, and it honestly felt like home. The kids had so much space to play, with free bicycles and scooters, cozy corners for reading, and even gazebos where they played cards. The friendly dogs made it feel even warmer! Rooms were clean, affordable, and each had its own charm. One family had the quadruple room ($90) that felt like a small home. Another stayed in a private cabin surrounded by greenery ($70). My family took the 8-bed dorm with a private bathroom wing perfect for our big group. You can also get a single dorm bed for just $15. They let us use the percolator for hot water anytime, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was incredible I’m not a fish person, but the fish curry was unforgettable. Huge thanks to Ivan and the amazing staff for being so helpful, kind, and flexible. We loved every minute and can’t wait to come back!"
JD LUXURY HOTEL
"Very quiet and clean place we had a great stay .Nice 👍 service"
Hotel Paradise on the Nile ★★★
"Love this place! I have been twice. in 2022, and 2025. We love the staff, Sylvester is the most humble host, and everyone cares so much about your happiness. The owner, Mr. Tilly is a very kind man.THE KITCHEN IS IMMACULATE!! I have worked in it, and I am from America...our kitchens are FAR more to worry about as I have worked in them as well. I am from Florida. If you are going here thinking that it will be like American hotels, why are you leaving America? This is Africa, and more specifically Uganda! They have their own culture, and ways of doing things. So, as an American let me tell you this, in all of Uganda, at restaurants that is, they cook everything to order. It is not Fast Food, It is amazing food! and you will wait for it. I suggest ordering dinner at breakfast time and setting up your dinner time. You will be more happy that way if you do not like waiting. This Mazungu has learned how to be patient, thanks to Ugandans! I go back this summer!!"
