    Maybe it was a little bit far far out but on the other hand that’s also bringing the quietness I guess..

    It was super relaxed and quiet in the middle of nature! Just excactly what we were looking for.

    Cleaning - I did not understand why YourHost charged a cleaning fee for cleaning that never took place for our entire stay.

    It was a good and exceptional experience; glamping in Naivasha. The facilities were good and the kitchen was well-equipped. An ideal place to visit for anyone who wants to be up close with friendly wild animals - giraffes, impalas, zebras. The host on-site is also a delight.

    Nothing we did not like

    The location was fantastic: we had zebra’s, waterbuck and giraffes right next to our tent during the day. Other wildlife in binocular distance, including elephants. And the lake is a 5 min drive away, for a boat safari to see hippo’s and many birds. Our local host John was amazing, he is the most friendly person and took really good care of us. He guided us to our boat safari and took us shopping for some groceries.

    bit bizarre having two double beds making the tent cramped. lack of storage for unpacking clothes but loads of unneeded kitchen storage. bit of a push for money for everything.

    great set up and location. very well equipped kitchen for self catering. great open fireplace and animals meters away at night

    Nice tents with everything you need! There’s a grill, kitchen and every night they make you a campfire. Wildlife just comes by, like giraffe, hippos, monkeys, and even a buffalo. Bring your own food and enough to drink. John is an amazing host. Would come back!

    The tents are really well equipped for self-catering, so bring your own food. There is a farm shop called La Pieve Shop on the road to get to the property and there is an bbq available at your tent. The surroundings were absolutely stunning with giraffes and other animals walking around. The beds and bathroom are comfortable and John was really helpful! Would definitely recommend for those that a very comfortable version of camping.

    It was a dream stay! The kitchen is fully equipped with international equipment and cutlery. The bathroom is large and very spacious. The shower is soothing after a wild day out! The beds allow for a wonderful night's rest. And all the animals add to the magnificence of this wonderful abode. Just 5m away from you, awaits a feast of warthogs, giraffes, impalas and naughty monkeys!

    What an amazing place to stay by the lakes. The location is amazing with the tents totally isolated amongst the wildlife where we drove past giraffes, warthogs and zebras every day and even saw a hippo! Further to this, the facilities are brilliant, John extremely helpful and has some of the most comfy beds I have stayed in!! Would most definitely recommend!

    No wifi in the hôtel but I was not concerned as I had service.

    We had a really good time in Naivaisha. John was a perfect “concierge”, helping us with everything we needed. He organized all the activities for us, hired us a great cook for dinner … The tents are really cute but the real + is the animals : you get to see girafes walking by almost everyday! An excellent value for money.

    Linens were very rough, a little fabric softener would be an upgrade.

    Living with nature is amazing. This property offers exactly and amazing experience in the wilderness. John, caretaker was exceptional! For me no Internet was a bonus; other sin my party were less excited about disconnecting from day to day life.

    Unprofessional staff: we paid an extra fee for housekeeping which they never fulfilled. Even after mentioning it to them, they decided to ignore it. They offered to make a bonfire for us in the evenings, but only at check-out told us that they charge for the wood. This should have been mentioned when they offered it to us initially.

    Nice location with great views of wild animals around the tent

    The road to the location is so poor that you need a very good rental car if you arrive by yourself, probably an SUV would be a good option. We were not aware that there is no infrastructure whatsoever around - not even one restaurant (even if it says so at booking.com) and not even the tiniest grocery store. So self catering got very complicated, as we arrived with taxi. We booked full accomodation by a chef some weeks in advance, at an extra charge to be paid at the property, so a chef would cook for us, but this was poorly managed so this cook actually appeared without any groceries which we then had to organize ourselves - by walking a 5 kilometer sandy path to the next available grocery store. Everything we needed at the property, such as wood for the fire place or using the washing machine, came at an extra charge of 10 dollars each, which had not been communicated before. It was also not possible to book tours there and pay with card, so we did not bring enough cash. (We already knew it’s not possible to lock the tent, they can just be closed with hock-and-loop-fasteners that can easily opened by anyone at any day- and nighttime. So paying for the tours was another challenge, because the next ATM is very far away (a half an hour drive, more or less). So this place is probably only good if you arrive with enough cash and in your own SUV and do your own grocery shopping in advance.

    We like the tastefully furnished and big tents, which were spotlessly clean. Animals come close to the property, which was very beautiful.
