    I didn't like the way their staff treats african visitors. You could clearly see behavior and treatment changes when whites are around. The gateman was one hell of man who never wanted to see african walkins.

    Great location, friendly management and staff, excellent food. Affordable room charges. The tents are huge and great. I recommend this place for solo travelers on a budget.

    General update to brighten up? - furniture, deco, etc., it looked rather dark and tired.

    Personal touch from the owner. Thank you for the nice soup and salted Sprite to sooth my tummy!

    The facility may need some additional maintainance and attention to details, but all in all we were very satisfied.

    Perfect stay to visit tsavo park. With my friend we arrived by train from Mombasa and the facility is easily reachable by public means and close to the gate entrance. The staff was very nice and friendly with us; there were only a couple guests beside us, so we could fully enjoy the cosy and intimate atmosphere at the facility. The poolside is perfect for relaxing after the game in the park. We were also satisfied with the food and abundant breakfast. It's a perfect relaxing oasis and would definitely recommend it!

    The rooms need some love, they are a bit outdated.

    Bathrooms and showers can be improved. They require maintenance and better cleanliness.

    Buffete for breakfast and dinner was very good. The pool is a great refreshing opportunity after safari. Staff is helpful always.

    The bar was poorly stocked. The wifi was intermittent and the generator didn’t work well when the power went out. Some fans were noisy and didn’t work well.

    This was a good option for a lay over in Voi. We arrived too late to enjoy the pool, but the buffet dinner was generous. The fridge in the room was very cold. The breakfast was also very tasty and enjoyed by all. Great location to visit Tsavo East NP

    The staff was amazing. I booked very last minute and arrived late in the evening even though no one else was eating, they cooked me a delicious meal. The day I was to leave, I had 6 hours between my game drive and my bus and they let me keep my tent and rest.

    The restaurant was not good at all: the fried fish they served was not eatable (but then, as an excuse, they kindly gave two other ones but one of them wasn't baked enough) and for the second meal they overcooked pasta though we ordered noodles... The furniture is a bit old fashion but functional

    The room looked more like an apartment, really big and quite comfortable The swimming pool The staff was really kind The breakfast was ok

    The bed was a little hard and it would have been nice to have a bedside lamp to read by.

    It was nicely situated, being a short walk from town. The swimming pool was a decent size. The food was good and varied. The staff were friendly and obliging, taking a lead, I guess from the owner, Thomas, a well travelled gentlemen who couldn't have been more engaging and affable.

    Facilities are getting tired. Staff seem bored, as was very slow. Tent ceilings are low, even if you are 1.78m.

    Pool looked clean and inviting. Our rooms were in old safari tents with private bathrooms and dressing areas.

    Though the excellent and friendly hospitality by far outweighed the cosmetical imperfections, there were areas that were outdated, and showed signs of an aged property. 

    The hospitality and service was excellent. My son and I were treated like VIP. Since it was off-season, we happen to be the only guess and we’re upgraded at no charge upon arrival. As a sweet-blooded white person, I very much appreciated mosquito nets without holes. Tom, the owner of the property was available at all times and spoiled us with African tea, gave me information about the surroundings and even offered a free ride back to the train station at our departure.
