Nyumba Nyekundu

The location is wonderful and gives a complete feeling of disconnect from the world outside. From the moment the gate is opened you can see the luxury design of the house and the 2 accommodations at the rear of the compound are secluded and very private. It was bigger than I was expecting from looking at the pictures and has everything you need to cook your own meals if you choose.

It's a little far from shops and restaurants but still very convenient for catching tuk tuks and boda bodas.

The host was so nice and very helpful with the directions. The place was cleaned every morning.

There was no A.C so at night we had to sleep with the doors and windows open. The cushion covers were also dirty with stains being white in color makes dirt to be easily visible.

This was our second time staying at Jane's and it was amazing as always! She is so friendly and helpful, as well as Lillian, Nixon and Simon :) We will definitely be back in the future!

Travelling is about Hospitality. But there are also some minimal standards – if they are not fulfilled, your stay can become miserable. Unfortunately, this has been our experience at this place, and I would not recommend it to anyone to stay there: 1. No or very little privacy, intrusion in your place to a frightening level: During the first night, someone was walking around midnight in front of our bedroom. During the third night, someone was walking by at 00:15, 2:22, 5:52, and 6:40. This night was terrifying. Also, the staff can look into your bathroom, walking around all day-see pic. 2. There are three dogs, and they are hard to keep away from your place: One of the three owner’s dogs opened the doors to our apartment a few times. When trying to get the dog out, it bit me in my hand. 3. Dirtiness / Wornness of furniture, cushions, kitchen equipment – see photos. 4. No real/proper internet access – much too slow – even simple apps could not be used. 5. Chemicals / Chlorine used in the pool during early morning hours – next to your bed / see photos. 6. A host shouting at staff in the meanest way I have experienced – very racist. 7. Rules of no guests allowed- Apparently, this rule means that no one else is allowed on the premises including anyone who comes to visit you the guest. 8. In the middle of the forest -expect at least 20min walking to the beach or always be dependent on calling a motorcycle or a tuk-tuk. 9. No flexibility in check-out times: when asking whether we could check out between 11-12 we were told that at 11 am we needed to vacant the house. 10. Attempts of scamming: the owner asked us to pay immediately the bill when we arrived. She added a markup of 3% for credit card fees. 11. Finally, a host who is not sensitive to your needs despite your requests for corrections, shouting at you, and not willing to apologize for anything. In conclusion, I think most of the 10 / excellent reviews are fake.
