Jeff Kamande, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff, good spaces to relax.. however room toilet small and lacks good ventilation, noisy at night due to proximity to a busy highway and limited dining experience.
TOM, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A lovely little hotel.

We had a lovely stay here, a perfect place to land on arrival in Kenya. The staff were really kind and helpful and the food from the restaurant was delicious. Lovely views of the garden from our room.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel with good food. Drinks prices were completely reasonable and it is near CBD but not inside CBD. Had a nice dinner in the garden with the garden lights and music and breakfast was a lot for the price. It was good.

The sheet wasn't clean, the food was cold . I booked online and given a cumulative discount of 15$ and pay at the premises. At the premises i was given a different price different from the online discount by expedia of 2072ksh but later the staffer was nice and agreed to give me a discount. But mostly on the kitchen side try to amend it
Ronald, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Im very sorey to say this but we see online is not what is onsite, first of all, there was no water in the washroom, its also unsafe in a way that someone kept knocking and trying to open my room in the middle of the night. Thanks
Alma, 1-night trip

Edward, 2-night trip

Service was okay, but by morning there was no water in the taps
George, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not go there!

Looks nothing like the photos. The room is in a dilapidated condition. The filthy, stained toilet and the sink even brushing my teeth made me feel sick. Everything looked overused. It needs to be revamped. I had booked for 2 2-night stay but only stayed for one. I had to leave and didn't even ask for a refund as I wanted to leave. I would never go back there again.

2/10 Poor

The Red Buffalo house is a rundown bar with filthy rooms that they have taken good photos of to scam people. The grounds of the place look bad and the place feels unsecured with lots of people in the bar area. The bathroom of room was very tiny with a tiny sink that I could not use. To sum it all up, I woke up to a flooded room bse the bathroom roof leaks. There was no staff on site in the morning untill I had to leave to find another place to freshen up
