Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp

Tucked among golden-barked acacia trees, under the shadow of ancient volcanoes, Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp is a truly magical holiday setting with a small, immaculately maintained tented upscale safari camp on the shores of Lake Elmenteita, a flamingo filled Lake in Kenya’s Soysambu Conservancy. Just a two-hour drive from Nairobi, Elementaita Serena Camp offers modern comforts of a five-star facility blended seamlessly with the rich history and culture for which Soysambu is famous. Activities include easy undisturbed game drives in the conservancy, nature walks, archery, horse riding, and note least birdlife too.

Jamala Guest House

Jamala House is light and centrally located next to Lamu Fort in the historic oldest part of Lamu. It is a quiet and private resort with a relaxing garden compound. All rooms have private bathrooms with hot water. There is a kitchen for common use and couches to relax as well as a rooftop with a great view of the sea. Me Baji, the manager, am also happy to give advice on good places to eat, get you a nice boat trip on my own Dhow or help you with any other questions.

I was at lamu for a solo trip and I stayed at the best possible place for that, Jamala house.

Getting to Lamu, Badji, Jamala's manager, greeted me from the airport. He also introduced me to a tour guide (Abbas) where I had a very detailed and comprehensive understanding of lamu interms of history, current social structure and furture prospects. Badji is an incredible host who ensures all his guests enjoy their time and caters their stay to their needs as he learns them along the way. He also took me and a few others on a dhow sunset trip which I must add was the highlight of my stay. I highly recommend you stay at Jamala house if you are looking for a serene, authentic experience with a very practical location and simple design. One last note: while in lamu, take a look around town and pay the local (non-tourist targeting) vendors a visit, you will find that they have a lot to offer.

Very spacious and scenic facility. Perfect for group stays and even staycations. The staff were great and hospitable. Lovely honeymoon suite. Meals were done well and they can be very accommodative on serving times. we even had breakfast at 4am due to busy schedule and the next day they were still okay to serve us breakfast at 10,30am coz we overslept :) two thumbs up!

Maple Inn

Nairobi Kenya hotel review

Reviewed By 182Siya

I travel for business & leisure into africa regularly, 6-7 nights per month, and feel very impressed with Maple Inn in comparison to other experiences I’ve had in Africa. The website’s promise and experience align, the hotel staff is very friendly, helpful and easy to engage with in english, the room I rented was clean, bedding white and clean, shower water warm and food tasty and well prepared. I would strongly recommend this hotel to friends and family looking for a 3-star visit and safe stay in Nairobi, Kenya’s Maple Inn Hotel. 9.5/10 score. The only improvement I would recommend is the upgrade of the toilet and restroom cleanliness and ventilation I also presented a full 4 day business conference with a senior management team and the conference facilities was well equipped with technology and functional. the conference room however do not have airconditioning, and at times the room temperature was 4-5 degrees celcius too warm. I’m happy overall and will give the conference 7,5/10

Megg's Place

We are a 'boutique' apartment hotel. Small, unique and functioning. Megg's Place represents the best of Kisumu. Comfort, thrift, luxury and creativity on a budget. Though,our rooms are kept to a minimum in terms of size, they hold all the equipment's you will need for a comfortable stay, plan your itinerary/a good working day. We are 30 minutes away from the CBD/Kisumu International Airport.

A cozy and homely jewel that many haven't discovered

Reviewed By Becks G

On my way to Bungoma on one of my trips to Nyanza and Western Kenya, we felt need to take a short break. The new road from Kisumu to Kakamega wasn't that familiar and after missing a turn into a mall, we spotted a hidden Jewel. It was a great decision indeed. Cozy, clean and homely place this is. The staff friendly and the service absolutely remarkable. So are the fresh and professionally served meals.

nice hotel on the north side

Reviewed By CFEIII

I have stayed here at Maxland a couple times over the last few weeks. Due to the pandemic, there are few people here. The rooms are reasonable, clean and full service, breakfast was served in the room, They do have a nice restaurant and bar area. The hotel is set in the back end of a shopping mall, I didn't have a chance to visit it.
