    It was all good

    The breakfast was great; individual servings, not buffet. The food was delicious- they specialize in pizza but also had other options. The swimming pool was lovely, the grounds beautiful, nice view of Lake Victoria.

    The rooms were large with thoughtful furnishings and comfortable beds. Ours had balconies overlooking Lake Victoria which was beautiful. Surj and Danyne were very welcoming and knowledgeable and we enjoyed chatting to them. Their staff served us diligently and we felt very safe and well looked after. There is a beautiful garden and pool and a good choice of food- we recommend the banana peanut butter milkshake! It's also a short walk to Jinja high street and the lake front.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
