A beautiful garden, a fantastic view, clean and comfortable room, tons of hot water and powerful shower, great pizza and thoughtful friendly staff! We had five days at Surjio's and felt better rested than if we had been for a fortnight elsewhere! The room was great, loved having a balcony with a view of Lake Victoria - watching the dawn... More

My wife and I stayed for over a week and were very pleased with everything. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and gave us a great view of Lake Victoria. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful! They even cooked us custom meals to accommodate a gluten allergy. Also, the owner, Surj, was very engaging and... More

Didn't spend the night so can't comment on the rooms but the pizza was really good, the soft drinks were cold, and the bathroom was clean. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Jinja.

We were worried as our flight to Uganda was arriving at 2am!! Surjio arranged our transfers from Entebbe airport personally so we were safe! Our room and bathroom were large and very very clean. Surjio came over later in the morning to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed. The house is set in a beautiful garden... More

The shower was fantastic, the rooms came with mozzie nets and there were mozzie screens up at the window. The gardens at the guest house are lovely and well maintained and the pool is an added...

The rooms are clean, have both mosquito screens and nets, lovely pool to cool off in, great breakfast (fruit, coffee, juice and cooked breakfast). The B&B is set in lovely grounds with views over the Nile and the staff are very willing to help (we got all our... More
