    Lovely little lodge in a great location. The hub, nature trail and Karen Blixen were all within comfortable walking distance (40min was the longest walk - nature trail). The cafe staff were amazing, welcoming, friendly, smiley and helpful. The security guards were very thorough and friendly, really caring for our safety. The hotel reception staff were not really able to help us with questions and organising certain entrance tickets and activities outside of their advertised tours. Each time we went to reception to ask a question or hand our key for the day it seemed like an inconvenience.

    Lovely hotel with beautiful gardens and a lovely restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure our stay was pleasurable. The food at "Zekes" was tasty and plentiful, the rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfy. The fact that proceeds from our stay went to help a local community was the main reason why we chose this hotel.

    There was really nothing to dislike, everything about this place was super nice and if you are doubting in which area of Nairobi to stay - do pick Karen as its an oasis compared to the very center of the city.

    This place is such a gem. This was my first trip to Nairobi and could not have wished for a better accommodation or area to start exploring Nairobi. The room was clean, large and nicely decorated. I really enjoyed having breakfast in the garden and loved how peaceful everything felt. In hindsight, I wish we would have booked all our nights in Nairobi, to stay in Acacia Tree Lodge and skipped our stay in Westlands.

    Tranquil and lovely! We had a wonderful stay. As soon as we entered the gates we immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. Everything is spotlessly clean and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We also loved the location- so close to all the things we wanted to do in Karen. Also as an extra bonus, they donate 100% of their proceeds to a local children’s charity. Definitely recommend Acacia Tree!

    Always our base in Nairobi.

    You do need to be mindful of noise; the corridors can echo and if you have rooms the side of the cafe then you will be aware of them setting up in the morning. There is also a very annoying high pitched noise connected to a pump that will annoy if you have rooms at the back - I believe they are sorting this though - they need to! I would recommend putting mosquito nets in all the rooms as they seem to have been removed and are needed. Service from the kitchen can be slow and their is no alcohol license so you need to take your own if you want wine or a beer with a meal.

    When travelling through Nairobi we always choose to stay at Acacia Tree Lodge. It is perfectly located in the Karen, is very secure and a safe area and provides a very 'home away from home' personal service. It is relatively small so as not to be too busy and with the addition of the cafe now provides food and beverage options throughout the day. Service is always very friendly and helpful. We book airport transfers through the lodge and they can also assist with booking any local tour arrangements etc.
