Guest Reviews

Rosalia (10/5): My stay was awesome and if i had more time I'd have stayed for a week. - The staff,omg they're very lovely, jovial, welcoming..the list is endless.Food was awesome 👌 too. The ambience, big rooms with comfy beds and a fireplace. Honestly i wouldn't mind going back to this place again. I liked everything.
Wielochowski (9/5): - Very relaxing with beautiful grounds Some walking trails need upkeep
Defloo (6/5): Na een moeilijke start toch een aangenaam en leuk verblijf met zeer veel betalende activiteiten . - De tuin was fantastisch en de betalende faciliteiten errond . Al was er een stroompanne door een verouderde infrastrustuur dus het zwembad kon niet meer worden verwarmd. De receptie was niet zo goed . Moesten onmiddellijk bijbetalen en stonden er 3u vooraleer we onze kamer kregen . Waren niet zo goed in het engels en de prijzen voor de activiteiten te doen wisten ze niet zo goed want het werd telkens als we wilden boeken duurder . Na een derde keer hebben we alle activiteiten geannuleerd wegens gebrek aan vertrouwen . We gingen moeten 2 auto's betalen en er zou er maar 1 ingezet worden . Met 5 wilden we de jeepsafarie doen en met 3 een wandeling naar hogere hoogtes in mount kenia . We moesten dus van 200 usd naar uiteindelijk 800 usd betalen voor 2 auto's terwijl we dan toch 1 auto moesten delen voor ons 3 af te zetten, dit voor de wandeling en na de safarie gingen ze ons terug oppikken . Ze wisten het eigenlijk niet zo goed en gaven halve info met constant andere prijzen waardoor we alle vertrouwen verloren . Toen begon het ook nog eens hard te regenen en liep het water overal waar het niet zou moeten vallen . De verouderde gebouwen en slaapplaatsen , vochtproblemen afvallende dakpannen en overstromende dakgoten als het regend. vochtvlekken in de kamers . Uiteindelijk hebben we de dag erna wel kunnen genieten van de prachtige tuin en het zeer vriendelijke andere personeel keuken , tuin , lobby .
Michelle (9/5): I'd go again in a heartbeat - For such a good price we were staying in a tranquil stunning riverside property surrounded by beauty and nature. At night we listened to the Hyraxes and Colabus monkeys. the staff were amazing and the food was good local fare. The bedding and toiletries were 5star. Only remember a head torch as reading at night isn't possible with the current lighting. I just loved our stay even though we didn't choose to do the adrenaline filled activities on offer we sat in gardens and enjoyed the scenery. It's a nice long walk to the rooms but that comes with being spread out along a river. Sun a fantastic place with so much atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff. Bedside lights, Otherwise everything was just lovely. Make sure you know you are going to a traditional wooden fishing lodge nestled in nature, it is what you get. And it is local food. Great value for money
Kondasamy (8/5): - Location Too many cots occupying the room
JFM (9/5): Een heerlijke start van onze vakantie!!! - De prachtige tuin De gastvrijheid en service gerichtheid Heerlijk gegeten Niks
Thomas (8/5): - The property is very well kept, especially the grounds, the garden and the nature trail. Staff are very courteous and friendly. The bathroom fittings could do with a refresh. Will be good to have some more bright lights in the room
ED (8/5): -
Elio (10/5): - I had the pleasure of staying at Naro Moru River Lodge and it was a truly refreshing experience. The lodge feels peaceful, surrounded by nature, with the river flowing right through the property it’s the kind of place where you instantly relax. The rooms are cozy and clean, and waking up to the sound of birds made mornings special. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made me feel well taken care of throughout my stay. The food was fresh and tasty, and the views of Mt. Kenya made every meal memorable. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, connect with nature, and still enjoy great comfort. I would happily return again I hope my family joins next time.
anielka Gutierrez (1/5): Carful you don't get scammed here! Never again ! - Some of the staff members in the restaurant were very nice and the garden was really beautiful The lady at the reception tried to charge us double for the whole booking. These people are scammers. The tried to make us pay again for our entire stay and refused to let us go... Even if i was with my 75 year old Dad and my Mom! These people have no shame! In the beginning they tried to sell us a half day tour for 861$ but i got the same tour with private driver and very professional guide without them for 230$ even including the park entrance fees. Then this place mentions on booking that they have a gym, a personal trainer and a jacuzzi but they don't have that at all. Besides they say the fee for a meal in the restaurant is about 5$ per person but later they charge like the double. Anyhow the worst for me was that they said they didn't get the money from booking and refused to let us go even when we were able to prove to them that the payment was completed on the 19th of August and they just didn't take the money from booking until the 10th of September! After a lot of discussion they showed up with all their staff members as if they were making a very sad and ineffective try to intimate us...but when they realized that we don't care at all suddenly out of nowhere the 3 weeks delayed payment went through and they let us leave! When i asked why they waited until the last moment of check out even if they didn't get their payment in the moment if our check in 3 days before they couldn't give me an answer. The reason why I'm so angry is because of my parents! They shouldn't do such things to older people that's a general lack of respect. Also to stay fair i have to say that not the whole staff looked happy with the situation so some of them are definitely not very happy about their scammer way of doing business but others are. When my driver told them he would never bring back any of his clients the receptionist lady said to him : no problem, just don't come back!
Rebecca (9/5): Beautiful peaceful sanctuary, great base for Mt Kenya! - This place is a peaceful and beautiful sanctuary near Mt Kenya. Get one of the farther rooms with fireplace overlooking the river. The staff were exceptionally helpful and gracious. You can hire a guide to take you on a Mt. Kenya excursion - everything from a nice relaxed day hike at whatever speed and distance you can manage to a multi-day trip to the summit. Our guide was George. He is experienced, knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. The food was fine, healthy and plentiful but nothing to write home about in comparison with some other places we have stayed at on our trip.
Susan (10/5): - It is close to Mount Kenya National Park. The lodges has a scenic walk along the River. The restaurant is excellent.
Pauline (8/5): This was an overnight stop returning to Nairobi from samburu It was very friendly and clean in a beautiful location wit - Location among beautiful gardens by river. Value for money. Cool temperature. Disappointed there were no bedside lights.
Tim_gardner (9/5): Rustic cottages in beautiful setting and extremely friendly staff. - Extremely friendly staff, who were always helpful and quick to resolve any minor issues. Comfortable cottages at very reasonable price with beautiful location and excellent restaurant. Kitchen equipment was rather ancient, but still serviceable. We wanted to hire the mountain bikes to do the trail which looked great, but all of them had punctures.
Maria (8/5): Very good -
Uschy (8/5): - Gorgeous property!!! Right by the river, quiet, serene and beautifully landscaped. The room was a little dated, the shower took a while to figure out and the beds were quite firm. The service was very friendly but a little slow. But overall we had a great stay.
Molly (9/5): Superb -
Kathi (10/5): Beautiful compound, offers everything we needed, friendly peaceful environment. - Having stayed at NMRL several times over the years, we went back to Kenya a decade after leaving. I was happy to see Naro Moru so well kept up; the grounds and landscaping as beautiful as ever, the rooms very comfortable and the staff very friendly. Such a peaceful feeling there… We liked everything!
Peter (8/5): Very good -
Patricia (8/5): Very enjoyable. Make especially so because of the staff. The staff were a lot of fun and helpful. - Charming. The gardens were beautiful. We loved the fire place in the room and enjoyed it being lit in the evening A bit dated. And the cushions on the sofa set were well worn. The food on offer needs attention. It was not very tasty
Branislav (10/5): - A beautiful mix of an older well maintained period building from the 1940's and well made rooms and cottages that stay within its original form. Placed in an excellent spot, by the river, with lots of bird and smaller antelope wildlife. Excellent staff, very friendly and extremely helpful. Internet could be much better.
Michael (9/5): One of the best gardens in Kenya ! - The gardens are absolutely stunning.Staff are very attentive and friendly. Food is good . Access road is poor but in general a haven. We stayed in a self catering chalet.Kitchen cupboard doors could do with easing and plugs in sinks either don't exist or don't fit ! Very common problem in Africa !
Macharia (9/5): Excellent - Service was good
Tony (9/5): An oasis of calm in what is now a bustling modern Kenya. - We had first stayed at Naro Moru Lodge 40 years ago and it has hardly changed. It is a beautiful relaxing place. The staff were delightful and very helpful and the food was good. Some of the buildings and fixtures could use updating but the Lodge is still brimming with character
Wilhelm (8/5): Absolute authentic, nice service. Nice location, clean good food… good choice - Old school, I love it Sure, it’s not easy to take care of the house and the garden when they are so old what a little bit more and it would be perfect!
Julianne (8/5): Very good -
James (6/5): Pleasant -
Verified traveler (8/5): Oude nostalgische lodge in het groen - Leuke nostalgische Lodge prachtig gelegen in mooie tuin en tussen bossages. Zwembad met schitterend uitzicht in de verte op Mount Kenya. Alles is rustiek en ouder, maar dat is de charme. Personeel echt super vriendelijk. Eten niet zo best en slechte prijs-kwaliteit verhouding voor diner en lunchpakket.
