Alphas Homestay

Todo. Pero lo mejor la señora que nos atendió. Super amable y una increíble cocinera. Hasta el momento la mejor comida de todo el viaje. Si vais a esta zona no lo dudeis

Ein fantastischer Ort in absoluter Ruhe! Man wird als Gast im Privathaus der Hosts aufgenommen, die beiden Köchinnen zaubern jeden Tag in der Küche leckeres Abendessen zurecht und fragen vorher was man gerne essen würde. Einfach nur umwerfend. Die Hosts sind absolut liebenswürdig und wir haben uns einen Abend sehr nett unterhalten und mehr von der kenianischen Kultur gelernt als die Tage zuvor. Die beiden Räume (es werden genau zwei Räume vermietet) sind groß, die Betten bequem und die Bäder mit heißer Dusche riesig :) Ein wirklich tolles Anwesen! Zuerst haben wir es nicht gefunden, weil die Adresse in Booking das Postfach ist und wir das nicht verstanden hatten. Das Haus hat keine eigene Adresse, daher einfach der Map in Booking folgen, da ist es eingetragen. Man sollte am besten mit Fahrer kommen, denn der Ort ist abgelegen. Es gibt eine Menge zu unternehmen. Wir haben z.B. die Rose Breeding Farm von DeBruiter besucht. Es war sehr spannend zu sehen wie Rosen Varianten gezüchtet werden.

Thank you to the wonderful hosts, Chris and Muthoni from Alpha Home Stay. This was truly a stay that felt straight out of a Disney movie. Alice and Lois greeted us after our long drive with the warmest hugs and the most beautiful smiles. The kids immediately jumped into the warm heated pool, and it set the tone for a magical visit. The food Alice prepared was phenomenal, filled with fresh, organic fruits and vegetables from the garden and yummy dishes. She even made us a large lunch that was an extra cost but absolutely worth it. Chris and Muthoni were so kind and generous. They joined us for a lovely evening filled with great conversation and memorable stories. Their recommendations for the rest of our trip were spot on. The dogs, Cassius, Olivia, Milan, and Shadow, were all gentle and sweet, especially with the children. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, and having two bedrooms allowed us to get a peaceful night’s sleep. Make sure to visit the chicken coop in the morning, where Lois collects the eggs for breakfast. This stay was filled with warmth, joy, and unforgettable moments. We would love to return!

Staff lovely, great food.

A bit expensive for what it is, even with 2 meals. Super remote although they can organise cars and boda bodas to come pick you up and take you to places for not much money.

The room itself was very spacious and clean, and the bathroom was large and well-maintained. The facilities overall were great—comfortable and thoughtfully arranged. Also, a staff member named Alice was incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay. She genuinely cared and tried to make me feel more comfortable, even though the situation was not her fault. Her presence was one of the few positive aspects of my time there.

Unfortunately, the host was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful during my stay. She told me she would bring water to my room shortly after I checked in around 6 p.m., but no one came for over an hour. I couldn’t use my phone inside the room due to signal issues and was unable to open the door myself. I was essentially locked in and had no way to contact anyone directly. Eventually, around 7:30 p.m., a kind staff member named Alice came and opened the door. She apologized, though it wasn’t her fault. Later, when I spoke with the host and explained what happened, she flat-out denied it in a very rude and aggressive tone, saying “No, I didn’t say that.” I was shocked and deeply hurt—not just by the denial, but by her attitude, which made me feel like I was being scolded rather than treated as a guest. She never apologized, nor did she speak to me again for the rest of my stay—not even at checkout. She simply looked at me without a word. I felt so unwelcome in a place I paid to stay in. The property is also located far from town, and without a personal car, the taxi fare ended up being very expensive—for transport.

I stayed at Alphas Homestay 3 nights with a friend and it was wonderful! After one month in Kenya this was one of the best accommodations we’ve found so far. The homestay is located in a private conservancy where you can ride the bike and admire buffalos, zebras and giraffes all around. The room was very clean and the bathroom very spacious, there is also a beautiful patio next to the bedroom where we you can have tea and relax, we appreciate it a lot. We had breakfasts and dinners at the homestay that we really enjoyed, the girls served us delicious meals. As vegetarians it was very nice to find a place were we can get delicious home made vegetarian food ! Muthoni and Chris are great hosts they made us feel at home away from home. We can’t wait to come back in August 😊

We loved everything!! Alice fed us so well. Her pancakes were sumptuous. She also baked us a cake, how kind. Their dogs were so friendly. Most of the meals we had were fresh from the farm! It even tasted diffy😀we took walks and spotted wildlife so totally recommend it💯

The drive there is really long but worth it! I wish I stayed longer

The staff were awesome
