    The beds could be a little softer, more comfortable.

    A beautiful, comfortable and peaceful place to stay. There is everything you need (Pool, Gym, Sauna, Restaurants...). The stuff is very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was really good and much variety. The food took some time, but was worth the wait! Definitely recommend this place in Jinja!

    The pressure of the water in the shower was often low. They charged me 15 USD more a night as the price I booked for at Booking.com. When I mentioned that, they said that the price on Booking.com was not right and this was their real price. In the end I got the original Booking.com price, but I was not happy with this, especially not with their first reaction.

    2 Friends Guesthouse is a nice resort with extremely welcoming and friendly staff. The swimming pool and the gym are good, I both used them often. It was no problem to stay a bit longer in my room on check out day.

    We were caught up at the airport. They rang to check everything was ok. We were then caught up in traffic but when we arrived 2 hours later than expected, were very kind, polite and helpful. Food, both dinner and breakfast, was delicious and plentiful. Staff were all very polite, smily and helpful.

    It was everything that we could want

    This resort was pure Heaven. It had everything needed for a relaxing vacation. The pool area is so nice. Great for sunning and relaxing. Zip-lining, tubing and other attractions are all close by. The breakfast was fantastic and we enjoyed an excellent bowl of pasta in the afternoon. I highly recommend House of Snacks for excellent local dining

    Nothing

    We love 2friends Jinja. Peace and (mostly) quiet - any noise is not from the hotel, but from broadcasts like you get in Uganda, but not a problem. Book a poolside room if you can afford the extra - perfection. You can relax in peace outside your room, watch (and hear) the birds (kite, plantain eater, hadada ibis, maribu stork etc.) swim or bask in the pool which is private to the hotel (so no school swimming parties) and it can't get better. Very friendly staff, some waitresses are at college and enjoy a joke, good menu choice, good breakfast, very clean room, good value. Sounds as if I own the place? No, we have been here quite a few times (5 nights this time) and it's just the best. It's a friendly intimate place - no marble halls and over-attentive flunkies and there are only 20 rooms. Love it.

    Overall the hotel was excellent for a 3-day break over Easter. Highly likely that I will stay again

    A lot of party noise from a neighbouring property on one night of the 3-night stay until 3am. The Guest House doesn't have its own kitchen so food is brought in from the restaurant next door (which has linked ownership somehow). Guest House guests don't seem to be a priority and the wait for food was routinely over an hour.

    The staff were excellent - from reception through to restaurant, bar staff and accommodation staff. The room was clean and well appointed with good facilities. Food choices in the restaurant were good and the bar was surprisingly well stocked.

    Good value stay with good staff, would stay again with room with A/C

    There was quite a lot of noise at night which made it hard to sleep. We think this was coming from neighboring properties. We did visit over the weekend, and the music was still going at 5am. We chose a room without A/C which we would not recommend as without A/C you have to keep the windows open so it is cool enough to sleep but this obviously meant that the noise was worse.

    Staff were friendly, breakfast buffet was good and appreciated the espresso coffee machine. Free, fast WiFi even in our room. Free laundry service.
