Jinja Backpackers

I highly recommend Jinja Backpackers! It’s conveniently located near the Source of the Nile and the water activities. Nash and Ivan were incredibly helpful, providing great recommendations for activities and always going out of their way to make us feel at home. A spot worth staying at!

We stayed four nights in the dorm at Jinja Backpackers. The room and wash rooms were very clean. The shower was super nice and had a lot of water pressure. The garden and lounging area were very calm and relaxing. Staff was very nice and we liked to hang out at the bar and very much enjoyed the food. Highly recommend.

This hostel has excellent service, comfortable and clean accommodations, and a beautiful, green, lush location. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay! 10/10 recommend to all future travelers.

Thanks to a friend's recommendation we found Jinja Backpackers and no regrets. We came for the food (open kitchen for everyone) and stayed for the accommodation. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very close to the city centre and the source of the Nile. And on top of that it is very affordable. I would recommend it to anyone coming to Uganda and especially to Jinja. Thanks Jinja backpackers team!

Excellent stay. Because of another hotel's mistake, I originally booked in for three nights, but ended staying here for six. Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. A nice chilled bar area where the beer was nicely chilled too. Lovely place to kick back. Not too loud, but a great place to chat with Backpackers. Friends were staying in another hotel (the one that mucked up my booking) and ended up spending the evenings in Backpackers with me. Food was lovely. Breakfast was basic, but still good. Enough for me anyway. When I'm back in Jinjer I'm staying here again. If you're booked somewhere else, you need to change and stay here. I stayed in a tent - very comfortable - but they have dorms and rooms too.

Really enjoyed staying at this backpackers. The garden and communal areas are very well kept and relaxing with plenty of space. A great on-site bar with pool table. Two lovely dogs running around. The staff are very friendly, most especially James who has a great attitude and good customer care. It is well situated within walking distance to town and the river Nile. Very secure. I stayed in the dorm room which was clean and spacious with a good bathroom and hot showers. Ate the pizza which was very nice and cooked in a wood burning stove. One of the better backpackers in East Africa so far. Would recommend.

What a beautiful place have they made in Jinja Backpackers hostel! We slept in a very clean hostel room and received a warm welcome. We ate dinner and (included) breakfast at the hostel and the food was fresh and delicious. This was everything we could wish for, only for 15$ pp per night.

Great place in town for affordable elegant rooms! The food is excellent and the bar is classy. Highly recommended.
