Gute Lage, schöner Garten, bequeme Betten, gute Küchenausstattung.

"The perfect place for retreat"

10.0

Green & wide yards(there are three separate flat grassy grounds), spacious common places, well-equipped & conveniently structured kitchen, cozy bed rooms, and even study rooms along with supper friendly and supportive staffs made me not to feel like to go anywhere else to make tourism. Just staying in this hostel made me a perfect holidays.

A nice hostel in the safe neighbourhood in Nairobi. Well-equipped kitchen in the main building of the hostel. A clean room and working wifi.

The private rooms are not in the main building, so you have to go to the kitchen to boil water or cook a meal. During my stay the toilet flush wasn't working and the shower wasn't working properly. It took two days to have them repaired. I know such things happen and my next stay in the dorm was much better, but still, it was a problem.

Was quiet and peaceful. I will return at a later date?

Five screaming dogs inside the house, peeing and pooping all over

This is my 2nd stay . I like managers, love Ollie and also her new babies. They are lovely. Place is very good, cool, peaceful and friendly. Next year I'll be coming again and will stay there again.

Actually there is nothing. My only problem was I could not see the monkey I saw during my perious stay. 😄
