Great food, great service, great location
We enjoyed the trip thoroughly, the only setback was that there was no wifi at the hotel. Otherwise we had excellent food, and the view of Mt Kenya from the room was awesome. The hotel is aptly named.

Beware of this hotel
Fraudulent.location. Beware and avoid this hotel. The facilities are not as stated (no WiFi or TV) and the rooms (we had 3 rooms) were awful....dirty, bugs and webs...and septic smells on one room. Owner was dishonest in overcharging for transportation (we had no choice because we were stuck in middle of nowhere).. it is 35 km from fraudulent location shown on map!!!!

Beware...this hotel is a fraud
Worst place ever. Lie and over charge at every turn. Charge for extra water..giving only tiny ridiculous bottles per room each day..Really?! Most important, hotel is NOT in Nanyuki...the map coordinates are fake. It’s in middle of nowhere...10km down and awful road 35 km outside Nanyuki. Plus there is no WiFi in rooms and no tvs as advertised. WiFi in lobby is so weak, doesn’t work at all if more than 2 people online. So sad and frustrating to deal with deceptive and greedy owner. Shame on you Zarah.

Great biew
The staff was great, food was good, and the view was incredible. There is no tv or WiFi in room even though it says there is. There is an 11 kilometer drive on a dirt road to get to the hotel. The road is only suitable for trucks and 4x4s.
