Bliss by name and it certainly is.

Love the location, the villa and the spaciousness of the garden There is a BBQ area outside the villa, a pool with sunbeds and others under shade and a fire pit for sitting with a sundowner, overlooking the Nile and watching the stars come out. There is a gas cooker with electric oven and a microwave. Currently two villas, with one being expanded to 3 rooms, so we had the place to ourselves. Our villa had two large bedrooms with en-suite and lots of cupboard space. A perfect retreat from the craziness of Kampala and worth the drive on the murrum road. We will be back!

The best healing resort

It has the best view and the best healing point. The barbecue chef is really good at cooking, and the person who cleans keeps it clean.

My favorite accommodation in Jinja

Wow, this accommodation is truly just as beautiful as the pictures show (maybe even better in real life)! We only stayed for one night, but we instantly wished we had booked more, and we’ll definitely be coming back soon! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome. They even gave us the choice between both villas and took the time to show us around each one. We decided on the one-level villa with two bathrooms, which was perfect for our group of friends: spacious, beautifully decorated, and super comfortable. The other villa was also lovely, with a gorgeous balcony view, but the bed setup suited us better in the first one. The swimming pool was great for cooling off in the warm Jinja weather; we swam both in the afternoon and again the next morning before checking out. The surroundings are stunning, with wide open views, a peaceful atmosphere, and so many nice touches like a kids’ play area with a slide, a BBQ spot, a campfire area, and the cutest dog ever. Everything felt thoughtfully designed and very relaxing. In short, this place is a real gem! Whether you’re visiting with friends or family, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, have fun, and enjoy the beauty of Jinja. We can’t wait to return! 🌿☀️🏡💦🐶

Beautiful location. Accommodation in need of some updating and refurbishing.

The location- nice gardens and spectacular views of the Nile. Isaac, the manager willingly secured a tasty Nile Perch from the fishermen on the Nile for us.

More work needed to spicy it up and create some activities.

Buyala Bliss has the potential to be a better . Its got a wonderful view that is very serene. From the looks my group was not expected. The place was not clean, the pool we never used because its dirty, for the three day stay not once we got housekeeping done at all. The compound is neglected. Red ants all over meaning no fumigation done. The rooms are good but the small beds are back hurting. Towels are dirty !

Amazing villa facing the Nile River

The place was so beautiful and peaceful. The view of the river was truly amazing, and the surrounding area added to the charm. Manager Isaac was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. I loved every bit of our stay; it really went beyond our expectations. It was such a romantic atmosphere with my partner

Beautiful spot. Lovely environment. Great experience.

Issac met us at the gate So we didn’t have to worry about how to get in and he answered all questions when we had them.. Claire was an excellent chef and cleaned up for us. Unexpected but very nice.

A real slice of paradise.

The setting was spectacular, the pool was absolutely beautiful, the villa was so serene and the views took my breath away. It was a real slice of paradise. We got Claire the chef to cook for us and the food was out of this world. I would highly recommend anybody staying here to avail of her services. You can take a walk down to the Nile from the villa and swim there. Sunrises and sunsets to be enjoyed from the comfort of your sofa.
