  • WeruKenya · Jan 22, 2026 10Exceptional

    Would definitely recommend.

    Liked : Breakfast was really good especially for a person who takes eggs.
    We did so many activities as complementary. Thank you for that.

    Disliked : The breakfast options for someone who does not take eggs was very limiting. Please have baked beans as an option as opposed to offering it at an additional cost.

  • TravisUnited States · Jan 2, 2026 8Very good

    Liked : The property is in a wonderful location and the staff is extremely friendly. The restaurant and chill area are peaceful at night. It is good value for the money and makes you feel distant from any civilization. The property is dated but well maintained. The shops outside the property also add to the location.

    Disliked : The lights in the room could be brighter and the sink/shower could use a small update.

    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
  • NicholasUganda · Dec 22, 2025 9Exceptional

    Liked : The cottage was well-sized and had an extra bed for my two babies, allowing us all to sleep comfortably. The environment was calm, relaxing, and pleasantly cool, making it easy to unwind. Water pressure was excellent, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming.
    There are plenty of water activities to keep guests engaged for more than a day, and the location is ideal centrally placed and close to many other great attractions and activities. Overall, a peaceful and refreshing stay that we truly enjoyed.

    Disliked : You may not have a variety of food choices at the restaurant but you have options outside.

    It’s located in a really nice village which you can walk around and the place itself has a beautiful view of the river.
    It’s also pretty clean.

    Disliked : The staff could be nicer and friendlier.

  • Scoopers103United States · Feb 5, 2025 9Exceptional

    Liked : Location. Lots of birds and 2 species of monkeys. It's a great place to chill with hot showers and free breakfast. It seems a bit run down now but I think because it's low season. The staff was kind.

    Disliked : Dorms could use some care but overall it's a great value. The view of the river is dope.

    Liked : Very comfortable stay.
    The staff were very kind and helpful.
