It was a fantastic holiday..I had a chance to see all the wild animals around the hotel..the staff was friendly, rooms were clean, the hotel has a spectacular view to observe the wild animals.But the most annoying thing we were asked to pay the parking fee. Parking fee isn’t mentioned anywhere while booking.

The experience was better than anticipated. We hired a car and drove from Mombasa which allowed us to drive around the sanctuary at will. It wasn’t long before we met a herd of zebras and thereafter animals were to be found around every turn. The organised game drive was also fantastic experience; it was possible to get very close to the wildlife including elephants. Each day buffalo and elephants came to drink at the hotel’s waterhole which when viewed from the hotel’s underground hide made for some spectacular photos.

10/10

This place is amazing, enchanting and magical. I saw everything except a leopard, hippo and rhino. I felt like I was in a movie! The experience surpasses your expectations, lots of value for your money. I met a great tour guide in Mombasa that drove me there and was attentative, informative and professional. His name is Peter Tolle +254 725 220013 and he is ready to do the same for others. You can mention my name (Leslie) for extra perks :).

Eu e o meu esposo nos hospedamos por três noites. Foi uma experiencia incrível! Tudo lindo, limpo, a comida deliciosa e a experiência de ver os animais de perto é demais!! A equipe de funcionários super simpática e atenciosa. Quero validar principalmente o time da cozinha tanto os chefes quanto os garçons. Não consegui pegar o nome de todos, mas gratidão mais uma vez Patterson, Harrison, Isaac, Zedrick, Crescencia, Fred, Ali, James, segurança Grace e parceiro, motoristas Nicodemos e Mjomba.

Lodge liegt wunderschön im Nationalpark Taita Hills, doch leider waren nicht sehr viele Tiere beim Wasserloch zu sehen, da es erst kurz davor geregnet hat im anderen Teil des Parks!

This is an amazing destination, especially since it was designed in 1964 and yet has a timeless feel of both unique and functional appeal. All that said the friendly staff was the BEST! We love you Kenyans

Facility, staff, and overall location was divine. Staff always with a smile and customer service beyond this world. Maintenance of the facilities seemed to be a priority as well. The food was always delicious. The views were better than lion king movie. Amazing

This place is AMAZING! You don’t even need to go on a safari all the animals come to you and drink from the watering hole at the hotel!!! You can spend your whole day watching them or go on a safari and see all the others all right in the park! Very cool place! Only thing would be better if it was all- inclusive as only got a bottle of water in room and no where else to get it.

Viewing the animals at the watering hole was fantastic. It provided hours of entertainment everyday.

Partiamo dalle stelle: 5 Di 5 hotel visitati in safari in kenya questo era l’unico 5 stelle, il più costoso per notte, ed è risultato alla fine il peggiore. Pulizia pessima: abbiamo cambiato la camera 3 volte (la prima avevamo un nido di rondini in camera e la finestra piena Zeppa di piume, la seconda era di livello inferiore) e nonostante questo, la terza presentava comunque sporcizia e insetti. La location, Unica nel suo genere, indubbiamente fa si che gli insetti siano presenti. Tuttavia, ancora una volta, questa è l’unica struttura in cui abbiamo constatato bassissimi standard di pulizia e la presenza di insetti all’interno della camera ancora prima del nostro arrivo. Asciugamani sporchi: abbiamo gettato sul pavimento al nostro arrivo un asciugamano che presentava macchie e tracce di insetto, abbiamo in seguito ritrovato l’asciugamano al suo posto. Reception inutile: non hanno saputo rispondere alle sollecitate richieste di una camera con maggiore pulizia. Inoltre, il personale si aspettava mancia per aver spostato le valigie a seguito di un cambio camera... In compenso location spettacolare e struttura architettonicamente unica. si salvano anche la cortesia e la professionalità dei ragazzi del bar e del ristorante. Tuttavia, il servizio e la pulìzia sono rimasti agli anni 70 (1973) quando è stata aperta la struttura.
