8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
We had a lovely stay at Jinja Backpackers in a tented room, which was really comfortable and had a large semi-outdoor bathroom. The gardens around the property are really nice and we enjoyed chilling in the communal seating areas or in our own patio area by our tent room. The dogs that live on site were super friendly. Great coffee and breakfast. Location is walkable to the source of the Nile gardens and felt safe. We ate at the restaurant a couple of times and the food was tasty and fresh. Staff were lovely.
As the tents have some open air elements (with mosquito nets) there was sometimes some noise at night which kept us awake. The WiFi wasn’t very strong although there seemed to be an issue with it during our stay so may be OK otherwise.

Friendly staff. Beautiful garden. Good coffee. Nice wood setting and plants in shower.
Was a bit damp. Needed new towels. No place to dry towels.

The breakfast was good.
We were required to remove our shoes before entering the accommodation and yet the floor was dusty and felt sticky.
