I have stayed here a number of times and have never been disappointed. The place is clean, the rooms are massive with balcony overlooking the lake,pizza,s are the best in town and the service is warm and welcoming. If you are looking for a place to wind down by the pool, get some peace and quiet then you are in... More

Surjio's was a good value for the money. The room was clean and the food was good. The best part was the staff - they were very attentive to all our needs, even the things that were a bit above and beyond. I would recommend Surjios to anybody going through Jinja.

Not sure why this is number one but it is good value and basic B and B .limited menu and didn't find pizzas anything special .Service fine, cheery . No alcohol but don't mind you bringing your own. Popular with Young Americans and missionaries. Rooms fine and big but in need of some upkeep. Again if you need some good... More

The guests are always warmly received and the staff make your stay feel homely. Surjio's is a lovely guest house. It is set in beautiful setting over looking Lake Victoria. The rooms... More

Surjio's is a wonderful guest house. The setting is lovely. The property well maintained and up to date. The staff is knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly, making you feel welcome and at home. Surj himself was a good host. The food was superb-- excellent "real" pizza, the best Mexican I've had in Uganda. The service was timely. The pool was clean.... More

Beautiful grounds, clean and inviting pool with an adjoining kiddie pool, plenty of lounge chairs and shade at the pool. Quaint restaurant with good pizza and GREAT breakfast. Our guesthouse in Kampala provides breakfast as well but they simply put out food for the residents in the morning. Surjio's waits on you for breakfast, giving you options for an entree... More

All the Students and Teachers loved there time at the Hotel. The food and the people were wonderful. We felt very comfortable and safe at all times in the hotel.

A nice quiet guesthouse in bustling Jinja. They have a airy outdoor restaurant where they serve awesome pizza and breakfast. Also a relaxing clean pool to cool down. No liquor - need to buy outside... also mosquito spray for outdoor restaurant seating.

My wife and I went here for 3 nights but left after 1 very noisy night. Be warned; this is a favourite spot for mission teams from the USA etc. During our stay, 2 seperate teams of americans were there. As every non-american knows, americans talk loud enough to be heard on the International Space Station (which is probably theirs).... More

Thank you for choosing to stay with us the second and I am sorry to hear of your complaint. While its true we do get missions teams, during your stay, the 2 teams were neither missions or Americans. we also had businessmen/women and tourists alike. Sometimes people are just having a bit of relaxing fun time. In your email, your... More
