Great place in beautiful Jinja. There is nothing to complain, as it is a place madeup by an engagging team. Everything is made with love and engagement, that’s the way to instantly feel home. They organize activities on they’re own or with trustfull third-parties.

The friendly staff assisted us with check-in. The accommodation quality was quite good, and the bedroom in particular was superb. The hot water worked well and all the appliances were excellent. We've stayed at several places in Jinja, but this was the best accommodation in terms of cleanliness and value for money. Our entire family was satisfied and we plan to use it again next time.

We loved the Jewel and the Lake. Friendly, efficient staff who went the extra mile to help us. The hotel was spotless and very comfortable; the food was excellent. It was easy to arrange boat trips and the hotel also organised a car for us back to the airport. I would stay there again and would highly recommend it to anyone staying in Jinja.

The facilities outside and the location are great. There is a direct view of the river Nile, the pool is clean, big, and deep with a shallow end which is suitable for experienced swimmers and kids who may not know how to swim, and the food is good i.e. tasty.

-the staff, especially the ones at the bar (love goes out to James!) are next level friendly. We just stayed for 4 nights, but it felt we were included into a big family right away -location! Close to river Nile with its rather touristic options, but in walkable distance into town for anything else -Very fair prices at the bar and restaurant (portions are huge and mouth watering good)
