Amazing gem in the middle of nowhere savanah
Pros:

The place was amazing, we really didn't expect anything like this, as all the other places along the route looked very rural, this place surprised us by being super premium, even though the cost was quite affordable (~74k UGX)
The gardens were amazing, the entire place was extremely clean, quite and serene
The included breakfast was absolutely amazing
Even the showers were super premium with instant infinite hot water, not even sure how they made it work so well

Cons:

It was perfect, really can't think of anything I didn't like lol

Passable for one night
Pros:

Friendly staff, nice equipped restaurant.

Cons:

The room was much too small for two adults. For alcoholic drinks the staff had to go to the village to buy there. The dinner in the restaurant was prepared without any passion... not meeting the expectations. But I was compensated with a good breakfast the following day.

a roadside jewel to be loved
Pros:

A surprise at the roadside of Kibwesi we detected through recommendation: The place looked a bit worn from the outside, but when we entered we found immaculate premises with a quiet lovely touch for details. It is a simple lodge with a lovely and gentle team of powerful women running the business. We were very fond of the service, the food and how we were treated during our overnight stay. Definitely nothing to complain - on the contrary ❤️🇰🇪

Cons:

one mini minus: due to security reasons you‘re locked into the rooms quarter during the night. Wandering ouround and sitting in the patio was not possible.

Simple but clean - absolute value for money 👍🏼
Pros:

Absolut VALUE FOR MONEY 👍🏼 the Lodge is situated directly on Mombasa highway, almost at half point, and is a wonderful opportunity to take a break on that tiring drive.
Staff were very welcoming and had no problems with our extremely late arrival. Superb 👍🏼
The rooms are not exceedingly large, and the beds are better for one than two people. On the other hand, everything is clean, tidy and welcoming, including soap and a bottle of water.
Breakfast is served in a small courtyard. Again everything was clean and tidy and again good value for money 😊
If you’re looking for a clean and inexpensive place to take a break on the journey to Mombasa or back to Nairobi, I can only recommend the Sunview Lodge 💪🏼😎

Cons:

In my opinion, the beds are a bit small for accommodating two adults, unless you are happy with a very cosy night 😉
