J’y reviendrais sans hésiter.
Pros:

La vue est exceptionnelle, le personnel m’a fait sentir comme si je faisais partie de la famille. L’hôte répond rapidement.

Cons:

Si nous désirons nous rendre en uber, ceux-ci demanderont plus que le prix indiqué, en raison de la route cahoteuse.

Pros:

Best view and nice rooms

Cons:

Because of the location there is not a lot around, but therefore you have the best view. So it depends what you prefer.

Truly the best views in Kisumu.. Beautiful location and well worth the price
Pros:

As the title says, this place really does have the best views in kisumu! Beautiful... I could happily stay and work here for a long period of time if work allowed! Shower was good, beds comfortable with mosquito net. Lovely garden and friendly staff.

Cons:

Although booking.com said free breakfast, there are not facilities on site for breakfast or evening meal. Luckily we had our camp stove with us so we could cook dinner and make something in the morning. The host kindly went to bring some vegetables and eggs for us. Electricity and wifi not stable so we almost had a bit of a disaster work wise... But understand this was out of the hotels control.

Peace and Quiet in Kisumu
Pros:

Absolute tranquility in the suburbs of Kisumu! The private bed and clean washroom were exceptional for the price point that's attractive for budget travellers.

Cons:

With the tranquility and view, Lago Resort is isolated. Be prepared to hike through a rural district for a couple of kilometres before getting to a main road with matatus.
