Guest Reviews
- Merete (8/5): -
- Caroline (10/5): Alles perfect - De service! Mogelijkheid tot huren auto met chauffeur Niets
- Robert (10/5): -
- Alexander (9/5): -
- Stephanie (10/5): A dream bed & breakfast - The staff was so wonderful and kind, very attentive. The property was beyond beautiful, really a boutique feel to this bed and breakfast. The food was incredible. This was just like staying in someone’s large country house. Truly was perfect
- Bryony (10/5): -
- Gaku (10/5): -
- Moa (6/5): -
- Shauna (8/5): Great location to explore Karen - Very atmospheric, gorgeous decor and our room was a suite with lots of room.
- Carollynne (8/5): Beautiful oasis of peace and quiet with the best staff in Nairobi! - The property was beautiful and the staff was amazing. It was a beautiful oasis to relax in, after an action packed few days on safari. I would definitely come back! There are however a few minor issues with cleanliness, there are fingerprints round light switches and on the walls which aren’t typically seen in lodgings of that caliber. It does give a bit of the ick to see that. For the love of all that is Holy add a door to the room with the open concept bathroom. It’s an otherwise perfect room and we appreciated it very much but for the price of the room, add a door.
- Rebecca (10/5): Beautiful, calm and relaxed environment- perfect break from the hustle and bustle of central Nairobi. - Beautiful small hotel in amazing gardens. The rooms were very spacious and light and the service exemplary. Breakfast was also very good. Nothing
- Alex (10/5): -
- Malvina (10/5): - I absolutely love this place. Stunning, staff are lovely and lovely home away from home feeling

- Stein Erik (8/5): Highly recommended. - Very good breakfast. Nice staff. Small is beautiful.
- Buchanan (10/5): Luxurious and relaxing. - Gorgeous house and grounds, huge comfortable bed, lovely staff and truly delicious food. So relaxing and yet luxurious.A great driver for the day around the National Park and we saw so much wildlife. The pool is stunning too. A safe neighbourhood. Cannot recommend this lodge too highly for a stay in Nairobi. Airport transfers were seamless.
- Elke (9/5): Sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft in der Nähe des Karen Blixen Museums - Sehr schönes Haus, stilvoll eingerichtet in Laufnähe zum Karen Blixen Museum. Schöner Garten mit Pool und Bar. Das Abendessen war lecker, das Frühstück außergewöhnlich gut. Sehr empfehlenswert!
- Francesca (10/5): Immersi nel verde di Nairobicon atmosfera di una bella casa - Tutto
- MICHEL (10/5): séjour trop court. Il faudrait profiter de cet hotel au moins deux ou trois jours. - Nous sommes arrivés tard à l'hôtel. L'accueil fut pourtant exceptionnel. On nous a préparé de délicieux sandwich. et le lendemain nous avons découvert cet endroit merveilleux, hors du temps! le petit déjeuner fut exceptionnel.
- Emily (9/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): Perfection! - Absolutely loved it and was sad to leave. The staff was incredible and made us feel welcome and special every moment of every day. The quality of food and service was wondeful. Make use of their driver service which was very good value. The gardens are just stunning and there are little nooks everywhere. Would highly recommend. Possibly be aware there is not air con in all rooms.
- David (10/5): Comfortable, welcoming, food excellent and service was exceptional - So welcoming and a staff driver took us on a guided tour of Nairobi - we loved being back Leaving - we wanted to stay longer
- Stephan (10/5): - Absolutely gorgeous, historic hotel, located in a lush, green park. A relaxing oasis in buzzing Nairobi. Staff were super nice, competent and helpful.
- Julianne (10/5): -
- Alka (10/5): Beautiful haven of tranquility. - Just loved staying at Karen Gables. Fabulous staff, wonderful food and a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. We will definitely come back.
- Michael (10/5): Superb, comfortable and welcoming - This is a marvellous place to stay. It is like staying in a grand but comfortable home. In fact the owner lives here and thus the homeliness and exceptional service. The people who work really make you feel so welcome and do everything to make you stay a pleasure. The gardens are superb. I would love to return here. N/A
- Charles (2/5): Nice building but overall not worth the cost, not helped by a rude/incompetent manager - Overall 'feel' lovely. Converted colonial house with charm and a lovely garden. Good breakfast. Helpful waiting staff. Really unhelpful and pretty useless manager Where to start.....: Really small and uncomfortable room (had two other couples staying - one described their room as 'OK but not worth the price' the other described it as 'ok but not as nice as we expected from the web site. Our room dark and dingy, also nothing like the pictures. Had booked an extra bed for out 4 YO daughter. So creaky and uncomfortable she couldn't sleep. Two biggest issues: 1. Asked for some sandwiches as we arrived late. Really basic sandwiches arrived (processed cheese and cheap gristly ham) - so not great - but then charged $15.50 PER SANDWICH. Total rip off. When I queried this with the manager I was told 'that's the price, you should have checked when you ordered'. 2. Had booked airport transfer through Karen Gables but had to change time thanks to flight time changes. Asked the staff the evening before to change timing. 'No problem' ...... but she hadn't told anyone. Only discovered this while we were waiting for the cars. Manager then failed totally to resolve the situation, blaming us, rather than getting on with resolving it. So we booked two Ubers ourselves which each arrived within 10 mins. If that wasn't bad enough, it took 7 chasing emails to get a refund and THEN it was $10 short. Really spoiled what were two great days in Nairobi.
- Charles (10/5): Really fantastic lodge, highly recommend. Breakfast is a must! - Everything-beautiful property, nice staff, lovely garden, great location. Nothing.
- Suzanne (9/5): Superb - Staff were so accommodating and attentive. Beautiful gardens. Delicious food.
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sally (9/5): A real treat and would love to return one day - Beautiful house with a wonderful garden, very comfortable room and a very nice, peaceful ambience Nothing
- Almar (10/5): Everything was outstanding! Highly recommended - The rooms, the house, the staff, the pool, the garden, the food… ALL INSANELY GOOD
- Clive (1/5): Bad - Liked the gardens and the setting They cleaned our room at 8am in the morning while we were still at breakfast - apparently our check out time is 10am and they should at least wait until we ready to check out
- Marinus (10/5): amazing stay in the best area of Nairobi - The staff is just great and super welcoming. The breakfast was very good and the accomodation itself is something one usually only sees in the movies. The level of detail is just amazing. We really enjoyed our stay and the nice talks with the Dutch owner on the veranda close to the fireplace. no improvements needed
- Mark (9/5): Superb -
- Alexandra (8/5): Very good -
- Fiona (10/5): Home from home peace and tranquility and lovely staff - Amazing place we will b back Nothing
- Juanita (10/5): - Gorgeous, impeccable service.
- Harriet (10/5): Fantastic place - from start to finish - 100% recommend - From arrival we were impressed. The property is stunning, an oasis in Nairobi! The check-in experience was smooth and quick, a welcome positive as we were travelling with our 10 month old. The hotel set up the cot in the room so everything was ready upon arrival. The room was big, quiet and the bed extremely comfortable. The garden is huge and very calming, and the pool (although cold) was good for a quick dip! As we were with our son we spent quite a lot of time at the hotel. We ate lots of meals as he was napping, and all of the food was delicious. The breakfast included with the room was brilliant. We were already happy with the hotel but when they were accommodating to us with a late check out they really helped us out. It meant that we could keep our baby calm and well slept in advance of our long flight home. They said to treat the room as if it was our own for the whole day, obviously we were lucky that the people coming after us were a late check-in, but many hotels would not have been so helpful. Overall the place is really comfortable. We felt very well rested there. The staff are discreet but helpful at all times, and the owner and manager were both lovely. Would 100% recommend. We loved it all. There is nothing that we would change.
- Danai (10/5): Exceptional -
- Igor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect in every way
- Susan (9/5): Fantastic boutique hotel with very personal service - Lovely boutique hotel with the most stunning gardens and pool area. We had room 1 which was very large with 2 sets of French doors and a fantastic view over the garden. Tea and coffee in the room would have been welcomed.
- James (10/5): Exceptional - I travel a lot. The room was incredibly luxurious, expecially for the price. I develped severe vision problems on my trip to Kenya while traveling alone as an 82 year-old male; they were unexpected. The staff members were aware of my situation and helpful with showing me the hotel layout. The food was consistently very good and I enjoyed the wine options.
- Dean (10/5): Perfect in every respect - Everything was perfect. The staff are so caring and attentive and the property is amazing
- Carole (8/5): - Staff were outstanding. Atmosphere was lovely. Only quibble was the entrance area to our room was not well lit and there were stone steps, so easy to trip.
- Howard (9/5): Superb -
- Nita (10/5): This place is a gem with beautiful surroundings and very peaceful - The setting is beautiful. Very peaceful. We stayed in the ground floor suite and it felt like home . The cocktails are good and we ate dinner and breakfast here. The red snapper dish and prawn curry was delicious. I would thoroughly recommend eating dinner here . We asked for a late checkout and an early breakfast and they were kind enough to allow us both. There are many small areas to sit and relax, eat or have a drink. The birds and garden were a wonderful setting and the pool was lovely. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We liked absolutely everything.
- Kelly (9/5): Superb -
- Wambui (10/5): Exceptional -

- Michelle (9/5): Superb - Staff was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The only complaint would be that I had to ask for clean towels and the shower head was broken.
- Nzioka (10/5): - Excellent location . Wonderful service .
- Rebecca (10/5): Karen Gables is a wonderful and welcoming place to rest and recover on the outskirts of Nairobi! - You will truly feel at home at Karen Gables! What a comfortable and welcoming home in a peaceful setting. We enjoyed every moment of our stay here. The staff were so wonderful (Newton, Wilem, and Grace, amongst others) and took good care of us! We ate breakfasts and dinners at the house and the food was exceptional, so fresh and flavorful. Our shower did not have a great pressure, but was good enough to make do!
- Regina (10/5): - This property is beyond charming. It is so beautiful! From the building, the furnishings, the rooms, to the gardens... it was like a hidden garden in the city. The staff was so very kind and easy to work with. The meals were splendid and dining outdoors to candlelight in the evening was pure perfection. I only wish we had stayed longer!

- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karen (10/5): Absolutely exceptional - wonderful - Just exceptional on all levels, location, staff, food, pool, gardens, owner Chris was super lovely. Can’t fault it at any point ! Small thing but probably a few sun loungers for the pool area but no big deal
- Kt (10/5): HIGHLY Recommend staying here if in Karen - This place is so so nice - you'll want to move in. The staff are so caring, the breakfast is so fresh and nice. Really it's a beautiful place I won't froget. I wish Nairobi was more walkable - but nothing Karen Gables can do.
- Margaret (8/5): Perfect for a few days. A beautiful home and wonderful people. - Staff were amazing. Outside room was a bit damp, no air conditioning and no phone so felt a bit isolated. Having said that it was nice and quiet and private.
- Viktorija (10/5): Welcome, cozy and unique - The stay here was absolutely lovely, we are coming back. The house and room were gorgeous, overlooking a beautiful lush garden and pool. Perfect to cool down and recharge. The staff and owner were super helpful and took amazing care of us. The food was great! Nothing
- Juulia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (10/5): - This a proper guest house, where you are welcomed by the owner and his excellent staff. The common areas are esthetically pleasing, with carefully curated collections of African art, historical maps, and one of the best Matchbox toy car fleet I have ever seen. There are multiple sitting areas indoors and in the garden area for the guests occupying the eight rooms to enjoy. Rooms are large with all the modern conveniences. Although a relatively new build, it has been purposely finished to resemble an old manor home. The service was excellent. The breakfasts and dinners the best we had on our extended trip. Special thanks to Chefs Patrick and Robin for accomodating my dietary requirements. And Newton and Mumbo's service and advice on wine much appreciated. We a little sheepishly took advantage of the complimentary laundry service as we had just finished an 8 day safari in hot, wet, muddy conditions, but we were so grateful.
- Matthew (8/5): Very good -
- Valerie (10/5): A beautiful place to rest in Nairobi - The location, the property, the people there, the food, everything was just PERFECT William is such a kind hearted man and Christian the owner too ! Beautiful house, great breakfast Beautiful energy there. Leaving after 3 days !
- Sean (10/5): Quiet and relaxing place to stay in Nairobi - Felt like home. Owner and staff were very friendly and ensured we had a wonderful stay. Grounds were spectacular. Quiet in Karen neighbourhood of Nairobi. Nothing.
- Valerie (10/5): Wonderful home away from home ! - Everything was simply perfect ! The people were very very kind, the house is beautiful, wonderful energy there, the garden, the pool, the lounge. Food from breakfast to dinner was delicious. William was especially lovely, such a kind soul ! And Christian the owner was very thoughtful. We would go back tomorrow and stay longer. We enjoyed the calm and the fact that the house is hidden away. But also well located ! Leaving !
- Heinrich (8/5): Very good -
- Karen (10/5): So much nicer than staying in a name brand hotel. - Beautiful place tucked away in magical gardens. The staff were super helpful and even packed us a nice lunch for the day we did an early morning safari. No complaints whatsoever.
- Anders (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bettina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nasra (8/5): Very good - The staff were very friendly and it was such a relaxing stay in a green and serene environment. The location is great, close to the national park, giraffe center, malls in Karen, horse stables and lots of other places.
- Carolyn (10/5): First class - The staff were delightful and so friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were very good. The garden pool and outside bar all lovely. The antiquities in the house were so interesting and the feeling of homeliness was so welcoming. Sitting on the terrace in the evenings with the log fire burning away ended each day. A non slip mat in the shower.

The staff were thoughtful, personable and respectful of guests and the hotel was extremely accommodating with our request for a late check-out (given the flight time on our final day). The property is nicely appointed and well-maintained. Highly recommend.
