Sipi Backpackers Reviews
Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It's situated in a quiet place. Some rooms have a terrace with a waterfall view. The rooms are very simple, but it's okay for this money. The hosts are very friendly, helpful, and genuinely good people. They'll try to help you with whatever you bring to them.
Negative: The rooms don't have a proper ceiling, so expect loud banging when it rains. Power cuts are very frequent and long—electricity was working about 40% of my stay. There was no Wi-Fi. There's also no hot running water, but if you need it, ask the host and they'll heat some up for you.

Positive: What a lovely people and a spectacular place.
There is a viewpoint with a vast panorama of the surrounding hills and landscape, where you can enjoy both beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the whole place has a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere.
Jowan and Maureen are extremely helpful and welcoming. Jowan helped me with getting there, coordinated my arrival, and was full of useful information and great advice. Maureen prepared a delicious breakfast and made me feel very welcome.
I also highly recommend booking a hiking tour to the waterfalls arranged by the hosts, definitely worth it!
Summary: Outstanding hospitality!

Yovan and his wife were incredibly hospitable and helpful throughout the stay. Yovan shares fascinating stories about local tribal life and traditions, giving you a deeper understanding of the area. He makes a visit to Sipi much more than just seeing a waterfall, it's a rich cultural experience you'll remember long after the trip.

Immediately after our booking the owner and host Yovan contacted us by WhatsApp and asked us some good questions to prepare our stay! He welcomed us after arrival together with his wife, showed us around. He very helpful informed us about visiting next days the Sipi Falls and organized us the wonderful guide next morning. Additionally he made with us a little hike in the morning to his own little mountain and explaned the natur and community of his family and caln around him on the mountain. The breakfast his wife made was absolutely delicious with Spanish omelet and energizing coffee. Yovan is a very reflected young man and we had truly interesting and profound conversations with him.. My friend Hardy and I can not wait to return next year when we will stay with them again when passing them to our treeplanting project in the North of Uganda.
Negative:
All was good!
Summary: Wonderful hosts and amazing room and fantastic hospitality! Always again!

Lovely place! Very friendly people. Great atmosphere.
Rooms are clean and comfy.
Wifi is fast.
Food is delicious (had breakfast and dinner)
Our motorcycles were parked safely.
They offer tours too. Great view from the outdoor seating area.
Also, I ran out of coffee for my aeropress so they had a fresh bag of local delicious ground coffee delivered for me.
Highly recommended!
