Superb little heaven on the lac Victoria. We had all the big house to ourselves with a huge balcony facing the lac. What a great view of the shores of Lac Victoria. David, the manager, is just a lovely and wonderful person who makes everyone feel at home. Sharon, Hope, and Michelle are just amazing souls who take care of every detail of your needs to make your stay more enjoyable. Very attentioned people. Thanks to you all for making our vac a great moment to remember. It's really good value for money. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HOME ON THE NILE IN JINJA.

They includes fresh breakfast and supper smooth WiFi which connects even in balcony or outside bar, so I recon the price is fairer enough. And the most precious point of this hotel is the lake view! (Even though it's a bit distance from the centre town, it's still reachable in 5 minutes on motorbike taxi) If you are staying in Jinja more then 1 night, this place is comfortable & convenient. Highly recommend

A little gem in Jinja

it felt like home David, my host was a fountain of information. He organized my rafting, a sunset crouse on the lake as well as sundowners, watching Pied kingfishers at work. I could have stayed forever!

Lovely place for a get away

This is a beautiful place right next to the Nile! We loved the view of the river while we ate breakfast. The room was super comfy and the shower had great water pressure! Really friendly hosts and yummy food! We'll definitely be back
