    Internet could be better. Some locations on the property have better internet connection than other places. Good to have a plan on your phone if you depend on the internet for work.

    This is a very peaceful place with excellent staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home. Worth the price you pay. Gave it a 10 because it matches perfectly description they give.

    Only challenge for me was its location even though it was not real far from a main road, and the motel sends a detailed guide of how to arrive after you book here.

    The staff was excellent, and my bed was comfortable. The grounds are very pretty. Breakfast was good, and they were willing to accommodate to our need of eating things that were low carb.

    The bedding can be improved upon. Also some of the makuti kept falling into the sink and bedding making it a bit itchy but nothing unbearable.

    The garden bungalows were very quaint. The swinging beds were also a hit. Lucy the host was amazing, hospitable and assisted us with whatever we needed. She also made the most amazing avocado toast sandwiches! The whole stay was amazing because of her charm and hospitality

    the mattress could be softer and there could be more light in the bathroom.

    Beautiful rooms, lovely staff. Good and included breakfast and for 10$ a tasty dinner. The rooms (tents, outside) are really good. Nice outdoor area

    Private and shared bathrooms were old and tired, and not that clean.

    The room upstairs with private bathroom is lovely and bright and spacious. The bathroom is old and tired but does the job. The balcony is a lovely place to sit and enjoy. The whole house is light and bright with plenty of seating options. The garden has some great swinging beds and the top and bottom baclony have comfortable couches to lounge on.

    I think this place is exceptional.

    The garden is incredibly lush. There are trees, grass and a couple of floating beds where you can nap or chill. There is also a fire pitch and staff usually lights up a fire at night. The town is easily reachable (15 minutes by dalla dalla, a cramped bus that costs 500 shilling per person). The staff was really welcoming and attentive. Breakfast was great! A bowl of fruit or fresh juice, then 2 eggs your way with 2 toasts and a pancake (that you could fill with peanut butter and jam), sometimes a slice of avocado. It gets you ready to start the day.

    Just a bit cold in the bungalow, but the offered extra blankets, so that wasn't a big deal

    I had a nice small bungalow, was perfect for me Very friendly and helpfull staff! The dinner was nice and for breakfast you got a huge amount of food which tasted good as well.
