We spent 10 days in Ethiopia and never expected to stay in luxary hotels. However, being dirty is nothing to do with poverty. The rooms at Jinka Resort was dirty and smelly. There was too much dust on the net. There was no hot water at all..In Jinka, the hotel alternatives were very limited and Jinka Resort is one them... More

Spent 2 1/2 weeks in Ethiopia and this was the lowpoint. Slept in a bed sack with my mosquito tent on top of the bed and glad I had it! Limited power and therefore water. Second morning there was no power at all. Food okay... More

Located in shady garden grounds, I found this a relaxing if basic hotel. The room was very nice, light and immaculately clean with a mosquito net (though not many mosquitos around at the time of visiting), and a very comfortable double bed. The bathroom was small and showing its age a little, with a somewhat worrying electrical socket directly opposite... More

I have to admit I was concerned about the Jinka Resort based on the reviews. I tried to switch us to the Eco-Lodge but it was fully booked. With some trepidation, my two children (ages 14 & 10) and I arrived at the hotel. What a pleasant surprise! A nice, clean, large room (Rm 5) with ample closet space, a... More

The good part about this hotel is that the staff is friendly and the food is good. The rooms are borderline clean, however, they don't clean them between nights. I also had problems with the water when I first arrived. In the late afternoon there was water but just cold water, later that night there was no water. On my... More

The worse place we have been to in Ethiopia and one of the worse ever. the room is dirty with un washed linens full of bad bugs Although they have running water they tend to save a keep the pumps shut so every time you need to wash your hands or flush the toilet you have to go to reception... More

Jinka is a good base for visiting the unbelievable Mursi communities and the interesting market of Turmi. It is a small place in the middle of nowhere and there are only limited accommodation possibilities of which the Jinka Resort is probably the best. Jinka Resort is surrounded by a nice tropical garden and trees. Rooms are very basic and not... More

My friend and I were travelling through the South of Ethiopia, so we were not expecting much, just a comfortable bed. We stayed here for two nights, which was arranged through the tour company that we were travelling with. We had no water for two days, so no shower, nor we could we flush the toilet. The food was okay,... More

Basic rooms, reasonably good restaurant, spotty power (off twice and the voltage was periodly changing). But it is adaquate enough when you consider where you are. The bathroom worked after they fixed the sink drain - worth the price of admission watching them figure out what to do and then carry out the plan. More
