Hostels in Northern Region

"I thoroughly enjoyed my three week long stay at Beri Cottages during Feb-March 2026! What an oasis of beauty and tranquility welcomed me there—filled with flowering gardens, a crystal-clear outdoor swimming pool, a wood-fired steam bath and a fully equipped health club offering (free and really fun!) aerobics classes three times a week. I took full advantage of these amazing opportunities. My double-deluxe room was large and well-appointed, with air-conditioning, a fridge and a roll-around mosquito net. Beri Cottages also taps the creative talents of two excellent chefs, who prepare varied and delicious breakfast buffets each morning (at no extra cost) as well as made-to-order lunch and dinners, which easily accommodated my gluten-free diet. Don’t miss an opportunity to experience the fragrant fish curry, which became my favorite meal from their extensive menu. However, it was Beri Cottage’s kind and attentive staff I appreciated most! Special thanks to Patrick, Benda, Irene, Bosco, Robert and your entire talented team! After enjoying three weeks at Beri Cottages, I actually left feeling far more refreshed, physically stronger and healthier than when I arrived! In sum, Beri Cottages in Arua, Uganda is a terrific find. I can recommend it to you without hesitation and in the highest terms."

"Excellent staff service ready to go the extra mile. "

"Excellent A/C, good hot water. Good wifi, nice pool. Friendly staff. Clean room. Might be the best place in Jinja"

"The staff was nice. We went on a Safari and we got to see lots of animals and we went on a dinner boat cruise and got to see hippos and and some other wildlife and that was a lot of fun. The rooms were nice. We stayed there total of five nights Very peaceful and relaxing in town is not very far away as in Pakwach. For some easy shopping and gifts"

"One of the best hotels in Lira. The Manager Sarah Odur provided outstanding customer service. The restaurant was ok but could stand some improvement."

"Staff helpful early breakfast on last day. Room spacious. Good good bed. Shower nice except one day when little water. Secure place. Parking. Weaver birds nesting above the little cottage where my room was. They did not seem to be expecting us but sorted out so all well. Breakfast good and i ate al a carte in the evening and food ok. Arua is distant so good to be able to find a reasonable hotel to stay which met our needs. It is quite expensive for the best rooms"
