Ross and Kyle are fantastic hosts. They have a beautiful guest house with huge rooms and all the amenities you would want. They very kindly picked us up from town on arrival and organised a day safari in Lake Nakuru National Park. They also organised for our washing to be done! A fantastic stay,would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Nakuru!

Fully furnished, house in Thika

KevinRating, 5 stars15 months ago
Stayed for a week, enjoyed every minute of it. It was secure (gated community, gated compound), cleaning was done daily, Carolin, her family and crew were very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. About two miles from Ananas Mall which we enjoyed walking to. Easy access to public transportation. Would stay there if in the area again.

Bamboo Cottage, Langata

GarethRating, 5 stars21 months ago
Ruth and Nigel were very accommodating of our small family. We had lots of privacy and they were very willing to share their garden and pool with us. This secluded haven in the Karen suburbs is a very peaceful and leafy respite to return to if one has a day of business in Nairobi or for the foreign tourist a wonderful, homely place to stop over and glimpse the high quality lifestyle of Karen, Nairobi. The dogs are super friendly and enjoyed our toddlers attention. The large bath was a big plus for our young children.

Cosy Garden Cottage / House

LisaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A gem of a hidden Airbnb! Jürgen quickly responded to any messages, he was organised and thorough. It was lovely to meet both him and his wife. Such a friendly welcome! The guest cottage has everything you would need for a short or longer stay in Nairobi, everything was thought of. The location is ideal - very close to Village Market, UN area, Sarit centre and lots of other key spots. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!
A spacious bed is dressed in a white comforter, accented with a bold green throw. Blue polka dot pillows provide additional comfort against the neutral walls. Soft lighting enhances the serene atmosphere of the sleeping area.

Cozy, private and inviting studio cottage

DougRating, 5 stars37 months ago
Would really recommend Edith’s place, had a 3+ weeks great stay here! Edith is a hospitable superhost and efficient to communicate to via the App and in person as well. Edith’s place was as advertised; if you are not looking for elegance or fanciness, this place is for you. It is cozy, clean, relaxing, safe and easily accessible for a great practical stay in Nairobi. It is located in a safe and secure gated neighborhood. Far enough from the busyness and chaos of downtown Nairobi but close enough to get to downtown and around town by car ( found Uber/Bolt ridesharing services to be quite accessible and convenient although public transport is also available). Grocery shopping and good restaurants are within reach ( walkable distances or short car rides). Would highly recommend checking this place out and would be in my priority list next time.

Ol Larashi Cottage at Greenpark

IreneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. We loved the peaceful setting and the ability to buy fresh eggs and milk directly from the farm. Susie went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, especially by providing a baby cot and a baby feeding chair, which made such a difference for us. The caretakers, Jane and Lucy, were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The property itself is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. We thoroughly enjoyed the stunning views of Lake Naivasha from the porch, watching herds of zebra visiting the farm, and cozying up around a lovely fire at night. A heartfelt thank you to Susie for her thoughtfulness and hospitality — it truly made our stay special. This is a wonderful place, and we would absolutely love to return!

Wonderful cottage in the Masai Mara, savanna views

PhilipRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We stayed in both houses for the weekend with a large group. Hosts Oscar and Sylvia were super flexible in accomoding additional friends that wanted to camp, even last minute. Beautiful surroundings of the greater Mara area with wildlife around. Chef Richard made great food for us exactly as we had asked for and was very timely. They went to great lengths providing our large group with an mess tent so we could enjoy the outdoors even during the rain :) The staff was all super friendly and everything was organised well. Communication with Oscar was very quick and helpful. Would most definitely reccomend to other groups wanting to explore the northern mara area. I wish we had more time to do some local activities. Hope to came back sometime soon! Philip

Clean Cottage with Pool Next To The Beach

MayaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Nadia’s villa was an awesome place to stay. Beautiful house, garden and pool, safe, 5 minutes from beach. The resort staff and in particular Carol, who looks after the house - everyone looked after us really well. Carol made the week really easy, and went out of her way to help us find our feet, first time in Mombasa - she also made us some great meals. A perfect location, I would love to come back!

Takaungu Private House - smidge of heaven!

KatyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Time slows down as you recline on the cushions, a frosty drink in hand, your face cooled by the breeze. Looking out over Takaungu bay, the flippers of the fishermen bobbing up and down in the waves, dhows outlining the horizon, the kids distracted in the pool, gives you the space to let go of your city worries and let the serenity wash over you like the waves of a calm mid-month ocean tide. Thank you Charlie and Philip and the amazing team for taking such good care of us. Christine's lemon cake will not be soon forgotten! We will be back!

Unwind, Relax, Rejuvenate in a serene guest house

BeatriceRating, 5 stars28 months ago
Lisa was an excellent host. She has an absolutely beautiful space that has all the amenities to guarantee an amazing stay. We spent our new year’s holiday her villas with my friends and we were all blown away by her hospitality and we felt more of friend/family than guests. Dave was awesome with the kids, the rooftop enabled a great view of fireworks during new year’s celebration and the staff were extremely kind and ensured our rooms were clean and comfortable throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better find on Airbnb!
