Warm hospitality and good food made guests feel at home, but the stay was noticeably dampened by the very quiet, low-occupancy atmosphere.

A gem next to Ngare Ndare Forest
Pros:

Service was really good. Our requests handled promptly under able leadership of Victor and his team. Food was fresh and very tasty. Very good ala carte breakfast. Made us feel at home away from home.

Cons:

Very quiet as there were no guests. Only one couple with children during our 2 day stay. Maybe management can work on attracting more guests to keep the place lively as it's a gem for those visiting Ngare Ndare forest.

Good place to crash for one night before visiting Ndare Ngare
Pros:

Good place to stay when visiting Ndare Ngare the next day (but arrive before dark as the streets to the place are a mess, even with an offroader). Some staff very friendly and the cuisine was nice as well.

Cons:

When we srrived the rooms were clearly not ready and we waited at least 45mins in total to checkin after a long and tedious drive. Some beds had stains and were not clean.

Very relaxing and convenient for purposes of accessing both Ngare Ndare Forest and Lewa Conservancy.
Pros:

The location was serene. The views, spectacular.
Continental breakfast was amazing and was served on time as per my schedule.

Cons:

Booking site misled me to believe that the property had a bathtab, which is not true. That was my only disappointment.

Great food, great service, great location
Pros:

We enjoyed the trip thoroughly, the only setback was that there was no wifi at the hotel. Otherwise we had excellent food, and the view of Mt Kenya from the room was awesome. The hotel is aptly named.

Beware of this hotel
Pros:

Fraudulent.location. Beware and avoid this hotel. The facilities are not as stated (no WiFi or TV) and the rooms (we had 3 rooms) were awful....dirty, bugs and webs...and septic smells on one room. Owner was dishonest in overcharging for transportation (we had no choice because we were stuck in middle of nowhere).. it is 35 km from fraudulent location shown on map!!!!

Beware...this hotel is a fraud
Pros:

Worst place ever. Lie and over charge at every turn. Charge for extra water..giving only tiny ridiculous bottles per room each day..Really?! Most important, hotel is NOT in Nanyuki...the map coordinates are fake. It’s in middle of nowhere...10km down and awful road 35 km outside Nanyuki. Plus there is no WiFi in rooms and no tvs as advertised. WiFi in lobby is so weak, doesn’t work at all if more than 2 people online. So sad and frustrating to deal with deceptive and greedy owner. Shame on you Zarah.
