The apartment and everything in it is sparkling clean. The kitchen, bathroom, laundry, bedroom and living room facilities are all good quality, clean and organised. Susan and Joel are super hosts who did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed their board games, fruits, snacks and traditional food offers. The location is a walking distance from the town centre and the source of the the Nile. It's definitely the place to be while in Jinja.

A very friendly owner and the entire staff. Excellent breakfast (both option-wise and taste-wise). The upgraded room alloted to us was huge and very comfortable. View from the room (balcony) was very soothing and my only regret is that I could not stay longer. This property deserves a weekend stay because of the peace and quiet it offers.

One of my highlights of my 10 days of travel in Uganda was staying in Jinja at Home on the Nile. The location is incredible looking out over the water. It was very peaceful, and I loved relaxing and reading on the balcony. It's also close to the town centre and lovely cafes (for instance only a 20-minute walk or a very quick boda boda to The Deli). The staff were incredible -- extremely welcoming, kind, and helpful. They made my stay memorable and helped to organize a white-water rafting trip for me. If I'm back in Jinja, I will always try to stay here!

    Due to a late cancellation we were upgraded to a bigger room. It was very clean and comfortable. We liked the communal area, which had books, magazines and games. We loved the veranda - very peaceful to sit looking out at the garden. Breakfast was good - selection of fruit, juice, coffee or tea, toast, butter and eggs however you want them, prepared perfectly by Joshua. We found the location good.
