Pros:

La camera era comoda, pulita, perfetta. La colazione ottima e abbondante. Cena molto buona a prezzo giusto. Staff gentilissimo.

Cons:

Il lavandino nella camera ha il rubinetto a pulsante, scomodo e inutile. Perché?
Un pochino lento il servizio del ristorante.

A good place, but be honest with your clients at booking.com and tell them you don’t sell alcohol on religious grounds.
Pros:

The location is amazing and relaxing

Cons:

The hotel doesn’t mention anywhere in Booking.com that they don’t sell alcoholic beverages. As a group traveling together, it was hard to gather after dinner for a small chat over some drinks. There is not even a cafe where you can relax and enjoy the evening. A small pavilion is offered but it’s always locked and to get it open led to some arguments with the staff.

Pros:

Excellent experience in rural Nakuru. This hotel has a retreat feel from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area. Wonderful and respectful staff. Excellent dinning options with good variety of local cuisine and fresh fruits + vegetables. Entire meal has a farm to table feel to it. Clean rooms though the shower hotel hot water regulation can be a bit finicky. Fantastic experience all round.
