The staff, the room and the scenic was a great experience. The greetings and support from the front desk stands out.

Breakfast could improve. However, the staff was very attentive.

The pool was nice. However, the service at the pool was slow. We where two customers, but the staff didn't bother to ask if we needed something morer.

We stayed at Jinja Nile Resort in June 2025 with a team of 30 international humanitarian volunteers. At 6:00 AM one morning, a hotel security guard escorted an intoxicated woman dressed in black lace to our private cabin and persistently knocked on our door for almost 30 minutes. We feared for our safety. The hotel later claimed this was a “mistaken room” and that some guests “request these girls.”

Despite multiple requests, we never heard from the General Manager. Only a Food & Beverage Manager responded—offering a mere $40 discount for what was an extremely disturbing and dangerous incident. With 10 of our guests booked through Expedia, this lack of accountability is unacceptable.

This property is not safe. The hotel’s handling of the situation was dismissive and alarming. We have formally requested Expedia to investigate what appears to be ongoing illegal activity and disregard for guest safety.

Everything was great. The staff are very friendly and housekeeping was great as well. The restaurant food was great as well as the included breakfast. My only complaint is that the pool area was under renovations. I wish that would have been advised at the time of booking. But, it needed to be done and in a few weeks the pool area will be completly remodled for the summr guests.

The staff are very pleasant but not managed well. I stayed in two rooms due to problems with Wifi and A/C. Housekeeping is inconsistent - either lacking a checklist for each room changeover or the team leader is not checking. Reception says they will do something then forgets; remind them bt they don't call back. I then discovered that the team does not keep a logbook - a basic of hotel front desk management. The phone number of hotel sent with reservation is no longer their phone management did not update the listing. The phone on Google no one picked up during nine calls I made form 8 pm to 10 pm. So many maintenance issues I can't list them here. One example -cracked tiles, big ones, around the swimming pool - a hazard to guest's toes but again shows no management leadership. In its day it was a four start but has sunk to a three star product.
