Refreshing and comfortable

Perfect place for us to stay! Loved the environment & the breakfast. Big garden with lots of seating. Staff was super kind and room was very clean. Would absolutely recommend.

A HIDDEN GEM IN JINJA PERFECT FOR FAMILIEA ON A BUDGET

We stayed at Jinja Backpackers for the weekend as three families, and it honestly felt like home. The kids had so much space to play, with free bicycles and scooters, cozy corners for reading, and even gazebos where they played cards. The friendly dogs made it feel even warmer!
Rooms were clean, affordable, and each had its own charm. One family had the quadruple room ($90) that felt like a small home. Another stayed in a private cabin surrounded by greenery ($70). My family took the 8-bed dorm with a private bathroom wing perfect for our big group. You can also get a single dorm bed for just $15.
They let us use the percolator for hot water anytime, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was incredible I’m not a fish person, but the fish curry was unforgettable. Huge thanks to Ivan and the amazing staff for being so helpful, kind, and flexible.
We loved every minute and can’t wait to come back!

Best hostel I have ever experienced!

Jinja Backpackers is the best hostel I have ever stayed at! It has everything you could ask for: helpful staff, good food, great hangout areas both private and more spacious for socialising! The owner is super kind and you can tell that the owner has put in a lot of love and care for the place. If you ever go to Jinja, I would say it’s a must to stay at Jinja Backpackers.
