    Perhaps a wider range of drinks: there was no wine

    A lovely guest house in a fantastic location. Super rooms, an excellent pool and decent food. The garden is stunning with a wide array of birds

    We are still acclimating to a warmer climate so the room got a little warm at night even with a ceiling fan. A floor fan may help?

    The location was exactly what had hoped for: a stone’s throw from Jinja, on the Nile, absolutely private, quiet and surrounded by lovely flowers, trees and birds. There was a pool which was kept clean and had both sun and shade. The outside dining allows glimpses of the Nile and is: outside. Perfect.

    It was very quiet i was the only guest on my first night. The breakfast was basic enough. I didn’t eat there but the menu prices were high and higher than the cost to eat in the nearby Jinja Sailing club.

    It was on a good location near the town and had a swimming pool and it was clean

    The wash room was ok but the plombing had a problem of flow, the shower was poor , no products, and water flow was poor. Old equipment. The restaurant carte could be updated or have a bit more of choices.

    The position is perfect. Swmming pool nice. Room perfect with view on sunrise and sunset Clean

    The entrance area and car park needs a bit of tidying and sprucing. Does not give a very good impression of the entire facility which is very good.

    Food was fresh and tasty, bed clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly and supportive. The recreational facilities are just a walk away

    The pool could have been cleaned on a daily basis to remove the insects.

    Surjios is a fantastic place to stay and great value for money. We enjoyed the food options and the quiet atmosphere. The room was very clean and the staff were always on hand to cater for our needs.

    Nothing.

    Beautiful setting, comfortable room and facilities, great staff. Everything is kept very clean. The breakfast is okay, simple omelettes or pancakes. It also serves food during the day /evening which is convenient. The location is probably too far to walk into Main Street in the heat, around 10-15 mins.

    Wifi wasn’t working in the rooms. There wasn’t hot water and good water pressure at most times. A bit pricey for value.

    Very nice staff and location, close to river Nile attraction and within walking distance from the main road in Jinja.

    Breakfast was fair but repetitive, service was rather slow. If there were more than three tables occupied at the moment, you could easily expect up to 50min for the full meal. It could be a bit frustrating for time planners. Rooms are not cleaned by default, you need to leave the key at reception and specify your wish. Warm water was there but it would come after almost 5min of steady water stream, including both shower and bath tub.

    The view on the source of the Nile was nice from the upper balcony, rooms are quite big and the bed was comfy. Garden looked nice and well maintained. Location is great with most of the activities at 15/20min of driving. The restaurant had plenty of options for lunch and dinner, "Italian Sausage" pizza was delicious! Wifi with decent speed was available in room for most of the time. Staff is friendly & usually there to help. Peaceful environment even with the close proximity of parking area. The swimming pools is available for property's guests. Overall, it is a beautiful and quiet place, excellent for couples and energy recharging.

    Breakfast is not wonderful. Cheap bread, tiny bits of butter and cheap coffee. Also anything fried always came with rather disconcerting amounts of black bits as though the pans hadn't been properly cleaned. In a land of fabulous fruit its kind of weird there is no fresh juice. It's a shame as everything else about Surjio's is great.

    Surjio's is in a lovely corner of Jinja, overlooking Lake Victoria, with beautiful old style comfortable rooms and a pretty garden. The staff are very helpful and it is peaceful. It also offers the best pizzas in town. Oh, and there is a decent sized swimming pool.

    The breakfast choices were limited, for example they have only bacon and pork sausages, together with omelette,they don’t have much options for the non pork eaters. Also they have a guardian dog , so for people that are afraid of dogs it’s not a good option if they will be moving at night. It’s written that the dog is released from mid night, but I was out at night and came back at 11:00 pm and it was out braking a-lot, and I struggled to get into my room . Please note that I have Cynophobia. So i think the property should put a warning on the booking apps to warn people. Also compared to other properties I have been in , they aren’t very hospitable and customer-caring.

    The location is nice , as well as the rooms setting.
