Guest Reviews
- Pia (10/5): Een oase van rust - Het personeel was bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het hotel voelt als een oase in het drukke Jinja, maar is toch vlakbij het centrum. Heerlijk ontbijt.
- Anna (9/5): -
- Guest (8/5): -
- von Bergen (9/5): Für ein paar Tage Erholung perfekt! Wir würden wieder kommen. - Oase mitten in Jinja! Pool top, Zimmer schön, vielfältiges Frühstücks-Buffet (die verschiedenen Säfte sind ein Highlight), gut ausgestatteter und sauberer Fitnessraum Einige Mitarbeiterinnen schienen etwas unmotiviert und vieles auf de Speisekarte ist nicht verfügbar
- Svend Kaare (8/5): -
- Philipp (7/5): - big room and good breakfast and friendly staff. for the price I would expect a higher standard . upstairs pool was not cleaned
- claudia (8/5): -
- Dureck (8/5): - Service top
- Irene (7/5): -
- Harriet (9/5): Amazing, relaxing and enjoyable stay. - I had my clothes laundered and ironed as a complementary. The staff were very helpful and kind and answered my questions and made me feel special. I honestly liked everything. And would go back anytime.
- fred (8/5): -
- Cecilia Caroline (9/5): - There was a bit of noise from the restaurant next door
- Solenn (8/5): -
- Bar (10/5): All good - Everything was perfect, thank you so much Ismail Nothing
- Anant (10/5): - My dad & I stayed for 1 night, amazing team and location. Very accommodating all round. Good range of food and great quality.
- Christine (5/5): - Breakfast not as good as it used to be Diner steak was very tough room smelt like someone had smoked in it
- Gary (9/5): - Very relaxed setting and atmosphere
- Barbara (8/5): A peaceful stay within walking distance to town - Was very peaceful
- Fanny (8/5): Very good - 2 Friends Guesthouse is a nice resort with extremely welcoming and friendly staff. The swimming pool and the gym are good, I both used them often. It was no problem to stay a bit longer in my room on check out day. The pressure of the water in the shower was often low. They charged me 15 USD more a night as the price I booked for at Booking.com. When I mentioned that, they said that the price on Booking.com was not right and this was their real price. In the end I got the original Booking.com price, but I was not happy with this, especially not with their first reaction.
- Rachel (10/5): A great place for our stop over., - We were caught up at the airport. They rang to check everything was ok. We were then caught up in traffic but when we arrived 2 hours later than expected, were very kind, polite and helpful. Food, both dinner and breakfast, was delicious and plentiful. Staff were all very polite, smily and helpful.
- Kristi (10/5): We really enjoyed our time here and will be visiting again. - Clean. Quiet. Great staff. Breakfast was good.
- Charles (10/5): Super Stay at 2 Friends - This resort was pure Heaven. It had everything needed for a relaxing vacation. The pool area is so nice. Great for sunning and relaxing. Zip-lining, tubing and other attractions are all close by. The breakfast was fantastic and we enjoyed an excellent bowl of pasta in the afternoon. I highly recommend House of Snacks for excellent local dining It was everything that we could want
- Suzanne (9/5): Superb -
- Elisabeth (10/5): peaceful and nice place to stay - very friendly and helpful staff nice place with pool had beautiful grilled fish - Tilapi- for dinner .
- Shannon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alyce (9/5): Attractive and relaxed lodging in Jinja - Relaxed atmosphere, attractive grounds A/C and refrigerator compressors were noisy
- Waters (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christopher (9/5): Peace, calm and perfection - We love 2friends Jinja. Peace and (mostly) quiet - any noise is not from the hotel, but from broadcasts like you get in Uganda, but not a problem. Book a poolside room if you can afford the extra - perfection. You can relax in peace outside your room, watch (and hear) the birds (kite, plantain eater, hadada ibis, maribu stork etc.) swim or bask in the pool which is private to the hotel (so no school swimming parties) and it can't get better. Very friendly staff, some waitresses are at college and enjoy a joke, good menu choice, good breakfast, very clean room, good value. Sounds as if I own the place? No, we have been here quite a few times (5 nights this time) and it's just the best. It's a friendly intimate place - no marble halls and over-attentive flunkies and there are only 20 rooms. Love it. Nothing
- Molham (5/5): Passable -
- Robert (10/5): Joyful in Jinja - The 2 Friends Guest House in Jinja, Uganda is quite lovely. The staff and security guards are very kind & hospitable. The area felt very safe and is walkable to town. The room was clean and comfortable. The gym is above average and the pool is quite refreshing. I was able to enjoy breakfast before departing for the day. The front desk staff also helped to book me a shuttle return back to Entebbe. I highly recommend the 2 Friends Guest House if you’re visiting Jinja.
- Tom (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent staff!
- Angela (10/5): Superb hotel - highly recommended - The hotel staff were amazing. They went out of their way to ensure we had a fantastic stay. They even helped my fiancé plan his marriage proposal and provided a beautiful candlelight table display and flowers. It was so special. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean. The breakfast buffet was delicious!! And evening dinners too. The pool is really clean and fresh. And I had a massage which was great. I highly recommend 2 Friends Hotel and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much to all the staff for making our stay so memorable.
- Steve (8/5): Great Place - 2 Friends is a very nice hotel. It is clean and well cared for, the grounds are kept well. I recommend this hotel for relaxing stays in Jinja.
- Tom (9/5): Superb -
- Daniel (10/5): If you're in Jinja, you MUST stay here!! - What a beautiful place!! What beautiful people!! What fantastic meals!! I was there for 11 days. After the first couple days i mentioned to the manager that mattress was pretty worn. That evening i had a new mattress!! All the staff, including the security team, are extremely pleasant and helpful.
- Ian (9/5): A well managed place with a good restaurant - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was quite dark.
- Saumitra (8/5): Very good -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good place - I Recommend.
- Nada (10/5): Perfect! Super friendly and helpful staff, beautiful decoration, comfy rooms, clean! Highly recommended! -
- Dilsher (8/5): Very good -
- Valerie (10/5): Beautiful room, great attention to detail, enjoyable stay - Breakfast was great. My grandson told me this was the nicest hotel he's ever stayed in (US or Uganda) The pool chlorination caused rashes
- Hope (8/5): Very good -
- Pamella (9/5): Superb -
- Pamella (9/5): Superb -
- Francois (9/5): nice and friendly place - - -
- Andrew (9/5): A really special and possibly the best mid-range option in Jinja. Highly recommended. - Extremely helpful, friendly staff. Spacious, comfortable rooms... worth upgrading to the poolside rooms. Peaceful. Superb variety and quality of food in the restaurant. Character of the place and beautifully laid out. Nothing. Very well looked after.
- Francois (9/5): Nice and friendly place where to stay - - -
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Judith (8/5): Very good -
- Shayne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Clint (10/5): Wonderful place - Wonderful and friendly staff beginning at the front gate who are all so accommodating. Beautiful property, which was perfect for our quiet getaway to recharge.
- John (9/5): Superb -
- Niki (9/5): Superb - Beautiful and clean facilities, great food and breakfast and most importantly - really friendly and helpful staff!
- Paul (9/5): Overall the hotel was excellent for a 3-day break over Easter. Highly likely that I will stay again - The staff were excellent - from reception through to restaurant, bar staff and accommodation staff. The room was clean and well appointed with good facilities. Food choices in the restaurant were good and the bar was surprisingly well stocked. A lot of party noise from a neighbouring property on one night of the 3-night stay until 3am. The Guest House doesn't have its own kitchen so food is brought in from the restaurant next door (which has linked ownership somehow). Guest House guests don't seem to be a priority and the wait for food was routinely over an hour.
- Laurence (8/5): Good value stay with good staff, would stay again with room with A/C - Staff were friendly, breakfast buffet was good and appreciated the espresso coffee machine. Free, fast WiFi even in our room. Free laundry service. There was quite a lot of noise at night which made it hard to sleep. We think this was coming from neighboring properties. We did visit over the weekend, and the music was still going at 5am. We chose a room without A/C which we would not recommend as without A/C you have to keep the windows open so it is cool enough to sleep but this obviously meant that the noise was worse.
- Sakeb (1/5): Bad -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Gerry (8/5): Good place to stay - Was great
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly, helpful staff and charming grounds. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful and tranquil! Great breakfast and relaxing grounds!
- Jo (10/5): - Very nice, clean and comfortable with an exquisite restaurant adjacent
- Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly staff, Nice Stay and Safe for a solo - Great experience as a solo traveler. The breakfast was delicious, the room was clean, the bathroom was great: the shower was perfect, clean toilets, and sinks. The room has a safe to keep your important items until you leave. The staff are gentle and accommodating.
- Liz (10/5): Lovely guest house with great restaurant and pool - Really nice place, lovely poolside area for relaxing, good food (especially the breakfast) at the restaurant, friendly staff. Highly recommend - but request one of the outside rooms if possible. On my second visit (it was so good I came back!) I was allocated one of the few inside rooms, because the outside rooms at that price were all booked up, and it just didn't have the same charm. Ended up upgrading so that I could have an outside room.
- Jenna A (10/5): Great place for business & leisure - The place was great! we were four travelling on business, and it felt like home.
- Tak (10/5): Excellent stay - I stayed 2 friends hotel during the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018. The hotel facilities were wonderful! More than that, staff were so nice and hardworking! Breakfast includes chicken, bacon, veggies, fruits, bread, and serials. (Good for both muslim and non-muslim!)
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely place. - The place is lovely. The restaurant was a bit empty, but the food was delicious. All in all a lovely getaway.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Don't bother booking online - Showed up to find it was fully booked, even though I'd made an online reservation. Still waiting for my money to be returned, a week later.
- James (10/5): Everything we needed AND a refreshing pool. - We absolutely loved our stay at 2 Friends! The room was clean and had good amenities, including 2 fans! We enjoyed the pool at least once each day, and usually twice, since it was where the wifi was available.The location is convenient as it was an easy 12-15 minute walk to Main street for shopping/groceries/restaurants. We enjoyed the pizza oven very much on our check in day as we waited for the room to be ready (we arrived early) and we had a good dinner on our last night there at the main restaurant. We were given one free drink each at the bar area near the pool. We were suprised and happy with the in room refrigerator to keep our waters and drinks cold overnight. Security was great and staff was very kind and courteous. Everything we were looking for in the hotel.
- Suraj (8/5): - Excellent hotel, good service and friendly staff.
- matthew (10/5): Great place - Had an issue checking in. They didn't have me booked because of an expedia problem but i had a printed invoice saying that i had rented a room. This would have beed a major problen if they had no rooms left but it was off season so i was in luck. They got the best pan fried fish in the country. Only thing that turned me off was a night watchmen asking me for money. Couldn't really say no right... he's wactching over me while I'm sleeping. I had to go to my room to get the cash. I would and i have recommended this place
