    Nothing to dislike.

    The lovely authentic style and furnishings, which were matched by the friendly, helpful, accommodating and happy staff. It was just a quick stopover for a couple of days but definitely stay again.

    Nothing, it was perfect.

    Tranquil and lovely! We had a wonderful stay. As soon as we entered the gates we immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. Everything is spotlessly clean and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We also loved the location- so close to all the things we wanted to do in Karen. Also as an extra bonus, they donate 100% of their proceeds to a local children’s charity. Definitely recommend Acacia Tree!

    Always our base in Nairobi.

    You do need to be mindful of noise; the corridors can echo and if you have rooms the side of the cafe then you will be aware of them setting up in the morning. There is also a very annoying high pitched noise connected to a pump that will annoy if you have rooms at the back - I believe they are sorting this though - they need to! I would recommend putting mosquito nets in all the rooms as they seem to have been removed and are needed. Service from the kitchen can be slow and their is no alcohol license so you need to take your own if you want wine or a beer with a meal.

    When travelling through Nairobi we always choose to stay at Acacia Tree Lodge. It is perfectly located in the Karen, is very secure and a safe area and provides a very 'home away from home' personal service. It is relatively small so as not to be too busy and with the addition of the cafe now provides food and beverage options throughout the day. Service is always very friendly and helpful. We book airport transfers through the lodge and they can also assist with booking any local tour arrangements etc.

    Just the choppy Wifi in the farthest rooms Otherwise all was good

    I really liked the friendly service and attention to detail. When wifi was choppy the staff went out of their way to ensure this issue was sorted. I like that this place is in Karen and surrounded by nature and close proximity to the Giraffe center and other cultural shopping places.

    We didn't like that at one morning the gras was sprayed with anti insect fume. It was a terrible disturbance, knowing that that fumigation material is toxic when breathing in.

    The kindness and always happy faces of the staff. Everybody was trying to make our stay as memorable as possible. "our group and also friends will always come back.

    Unfortunately, the building is not very soundproof, so that you'll hear people checking in and out at night if you have light sleep.

    Our stay at Acacia Tree Lodge was wonderful. All members of the staff are always very kind, helpful and attentive. The property and rooms are well furnished and always clean. Breakfast and dinner à la carte were delicious.

    Above each door, there is a one inch open gap, meaning that sound propels directly from the rooms into the shared corridor. This seemingly completely unnecessary opening means that one could hear talks from other rooms. This has been shared by many reviewers and I do not understand why it cannot be fixed.

    We really enjoyed our stay here, especially in regards of the serene and quiet location. Sitting in the garden and just enjoying the sound of birds chirping was really soothing. The staff are really excellent and accommodating. The breakfast was very nice, being served outdoors with an egg station. No crowds whatsoever, making us feel we are alone at the hotel.

    The vacuuming of room should be thoroughly done after each guest because of little particles and hair that might be left over by outgoing guests. The pillows and mattresses are good but could be firmer for older people with osteoporosis or arthritis.

    The staff are generally kind people. They are eager to be of help always. The food is great: either the complimentary breakfast or à la carte.
