Great family, my son played with all the kids. Not a commercial hotel so felt very immersed with the Nairobi culture, breakfast was served with flexible times, Serah helped me with tourisy info and calling for uber. I would recommend to family and friends especially if they have kids. The room was cozy, towels provided, breakfast was great!

FAMILY FRIENDLY

I can't thank Serah enough for her and her family's hospitality. If you have kids, bring them!!! We were fortunate that the kids were on school break. They loved my son and my son loved them. The room was comfy for two of us. Mosquitos weren't an issue at night as long as the net was in place. The toilet and shower are in one room but no issues. Water is limited, please be cognizant. Breakfast consited of eggs, fruit, toast, tea and juice. The family called uber for us and called to confirm excursions we booked and made great recommendations. Will stay here again!!!

Wonderful family setting with a very friendly family ,I would strongly recommend it. I had paid for room share but the lady was kind enough to put me in a private room.

good if you're ok with teens or shared bathroom

Actually 2 separate houses. One with teenagers (and a shared bathroom probably ok for families with teens) and a separate house with 5 bedrooms and shared bathroom. We were lucky in being at the 2nd and there were no other guests that night. We did not go back because of the shared bathroom that might have other guests. Gated community
