Great for short term stays
Pros:

Location-on the highway but a few metres from the CBD
Quiet
Spacious rooms
Affordable simple breakfast
WIFI was good
Clean rooms, albeit old

Cons:

When we arrived at the property around midnight, the staff informed us that they did not have our booking and continued to tell us that the room we had booked(at 12 USD) wasn't available. We were then shown a more expensive room.
No smart TV, available TV was analog. Please buy a smart tv for your customers.

NEST GUEST HOUSE
Pros:

The facility has a family outlook that is warm and friendly

Cons:

The price quoted on booking.com was different at the Hotel. They were charging a higher rate. We had to complain for the rate to match what had been stated on the app.

Superb
Pros:

Quiet and friendly guest house in the outskirts of Kericho. Although it is located close to the main road, you hardly hear the traffic. The staff was very helpful and communicative. The shared living room/dining room is a comfortable place to spend some time. Food is good and freshly prepared (can take some time though).

Very good
Pros:

Very safe place and friendly staff. There was even a fireplace in the tv-room, which is nice when its raining and getting a bit cold. Good place if you come by car, parking inside. Simple and clean rooms. Very good breakfast.
