Loved the vicinity

Stayed in March 2024

It was noisy. Room was on second floor and so exposed to traffic noise of trucks during day and early morning and dogs barking at night. Had to use earplugs at night. It was much better on first floor where trees and compound wall blocked much of noise.

The people and hospitality were absolutely amazing and helpful. I have never had such great hospitality and willingness to help out to arrange things and max things excellent!!!!

Can't think of anything yet.

The room and restaurant was nice and I love the location. It is very convenient. And it is near a few attractions like Nairobi Safari Walk and Kitengela Hot Glass by Anselm. Breakfast was also good.

Wonderful staff, super welcoming and helpful, lovely rooms and a quiet oasis of calm. Brilliant breakfast - some of us are vegan, one is gluten intolerant and one egg allergic. They were all over the dietary requirements - fully aware from the booking and served a lovely breakfast every day with zero issues. The restaurant menu is lovely. Bar man came to find us to tell us the Grand Prix qualifying was on after spotting our interest in the practice session the day before. Just a lovely place.

It's pretty cold in the room. Perhaps provide more blankets or a heater. Also, the lights in the room can be brighter.

Love the restaurant area, the room, the location that is about 30 mins from Nairobi Safari Walk and Kitengela Hot Glass Studio. It is really convenient, the restaurant has good food and it also has a pool. To me, it is good value for money. It is also just about 25-30 mins from Nairobi. Great for a nice weekend getaway.

The dust along the main road was really bad.

The food was delicious. The hot water shower was fantastic and the balcony room was great.

One of our rooms did have a damp smell. We did also book 3 x double rooms but arrived to find we were given 2 x doubles and 1 x twin

Stayed as a quick one night stop before flying home. Staff were very friendly and quick to respond to any requests and organised a taxi for us to be picked up from the airport. Rooms are basic but clean. Unfortunately the weather was very cold when we stayed so didn't make use of the pool. Onsite restaurant served good food.

Beds are a bit hard, but not that bad.

I come to Kenya every year and love to stay here because of the kindness of the people! they are always welcoming and accommodating no matter our needs.

The fact that nobody told me I should wait a few minutes for the shower to get warm. :-D

The breakfast. The staff. The ambience. The food at the restaurant is always bomb. ( I love the butter chicken with the roti and naan, OMG! Authentic Indian food. So happy to always order. :-D )

Nothing major. I didn't get bread today for it was finished. But the pancake served as bread for me today, so my good people, make sure you have the toast ready tomorrow morning for me eh? I know I was a bit late but still... come on peoples, I need that buttery toast! :-D

The breakfast is always on point. Fruits. You can choose from scrambled, poached, omelette, fried or hard boiled eggs. Then if you are lucky you can get a pancake. Mostly the eggs ( which are two ), come with a sausage, bacon and sausage. The fruits can range from pineapple, melon and banana. Sometimes you can't get them all but you can get two bananas as I did on the first breakfast. Fair enough. The staff is polite and friendly. I have been here two times and each time it is hard to leave. I haven't been in the pool yet but it is nice to see it being used as the weather in Rongai has been rather warm than cold which is awesome! The food. OmG! Authentic Indian food which I LOVE! The hot showers. :-) The bed and simplicity of the place.

Small garden Not much to do on site

Nicely decorated - African vibe Nice swimming pool Friendly staff and good food

Stayed in November 2021

The beds were really hard :-)

The hotel is on a dusty road so be prepared to get a nice free Kenyan massage... The lodge arranged transport from the airport (45 minutes drive) which was nice. We were looking for a hotel to relax for a day after our international flight and which was near the elephant sheldrick orphanage and the Giraffe centre. The next day our safari-trip to the south started. And this hotel is a perfect hotel if you want to skip the big city Nairobi which was our wish. Really nearby, less then 10 minutes away from the sheldrick orphanage. The hotel arranged a driver for us to the elephants and the giraffes centre. The pool was very welcoming for our children to hang out in the afternoon with good working wifi. The food and drinks in the lodge were also good. So good place to hang out for a day.

Everything is fine. It was just some neighbor dogs barking a lot during the night. The security needs to be improved.

Clean, Nice staff, good food

The site

Stayed in April 2022

I chose this hotel because of the location, reviews and for the vegetarian restaurant menu (sadly, the included breakfast was not vegetarian and no fruit offered). The room hadn’t been cleaned in a while as there was rodent feces on the floor and the water wasn’t turned on. Staff was very friendly and understanding.

Stayed in March 2022

Everything was great!

Amal and Martin were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. They even organised a doctor to come and do my covid test there at the lodge. In fact all of the staff were lovely.

Poor security, scary place. Didn’t feel safe. Had to escape after one night. Rooms were not isolated for sounds. I don’t recommend this place

Clean, cheap

The familiarity from years past and how kind the staff is. I’m always surprised they remember me❣️
