Beautiful place with happy, well treated staff, unlike the formerly wonderful Afro Smile Hotel next door. Definitely going to be our base for future tours. Super breakfast and nice to be able to order food from All Friends Restaurant but eat it here which is nicer.

Our seven-night stay at the 2 Friends Guest House was absolutely fantastic. This small hotel offers a wonderfully personal feel, making for a much more intimate and enjoyable experience than larger hotels. We were pleasantly surprised by the very nice, modern gym, which was a great bonus. The pool area is very comfortable, with plenty of lounge chairs for relaxation, and the grounds are meticulously manicured, adding to the serene atmosphere. Included breakfast had plentiful options and was delicious, setting us up nicely for each day. The staff was consistently great and always eager to be helpful, making our stay incredibly smooth and pleasant. A fantastic perk, especially for longer stays, is their complementary laundry service – a thoughtful touch that was greatly appreciated. The guest house is also centrally located, making it convenient for exploring. An extra bonus is the attached restaurant that has a broad menu and plenty of seating, which was perfect for convenient meals. We had an absolutely fantastic time here and can't recommend it enough. If you're looking for a comfortable, personal, and well-located stay, the 2 Friends Guest House is an excellent choice!

I stayed at 2Friends for 3 nights and it was great. I was made to feel sooo welcome by all. The public bar and restaurant has a great mix of guests, locals and expats. My room was by the pool ($115 per night) and was very clean and comfortable. The rooms next to the guest bar/restaurant are cheaper and the pool is 20 metres away. The public bar/restaurant has a fantastic pizzeria, the calzones were delicious. The bar stays open until the last man standing leaves but you don't here any noise in the rooms so it's perfect for any kind of guest. All of the staff are friendly and helpful and they provided me with a wealth of info and a good local map. The source of the Nile is about a 20 minute walk or 5 minutes by boda-boda. I will definitely be back :)

I had a fantastic stay! The customer care was exceptional, but what truly stood out was the work culture. The employees seemed genuinely happy and comfortable, creating such a positive atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond, and the healthy work environment was evident. It was inspiring to see staff even writing songs about the place out of love! I met the humble, hospitable, and punctual owner. The night pool swims were wonderful, the beds were comfy, and the community-made soap was a nice touch. The boat ride on the River Nile was exhilarating, taking me to the source and onto Lake Victoria. I saw many bird species, snakes, and the fishing activities on the lake. There are also many other activities like kayaking, ziplining, tubing, and rafting. I highly recommend for couples, family and solo trips in Jinja. Its very few minutes from the River Nile.

All staff are attentive and welcoming. The rooms include a cute front patio with cozy chairs. The entire place is immaculate. The restaurant is delicious with a wide variety to choose from. There are tables or comfortable conversation and meeting areas.

Oh Wow! This not just a Guest house. This is family. Rooms are perfectly organised, workers are friends, the food defines Uganda's richness in food and drinks, the environment is perfect for all kinds of people. Swimming pool is the best. My experience with 2Friends is just a 9.5/10. Leticia is such a darling with prompt responses and service delivery. The whole team work as a family. I loved every bit of it. I highly recommend for your Jinja stays.
