Hotel Citymax Nakuru

"Not bad, but could use some improvement. First of all, the drapes on the bed. I wondered how often those get cleaned, and the thought stayed in my mind during the whole night (but maybe I'm just paranoid). Unfortunately none of the wifi networks worked in the room. There was a connection, but as I tried to connect I received multiple error messages due to the traffic usage? Not sure what that means. The food at the restaurant was really bland, but I stayed only one night so it might have been just an unlucky dinner. Lastly, the pillow was very thin and there was only one (despite having a double bed in the room). These are just small issues in my opinion; the room was clean and it's a fine place to stay for one night."

Taidy's Suites - Nakuru

"We were in transit and needed a place to rest. we Got to Nakuru at around 1am. A friend had once recommended this hotel and we thought of trying it out. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the worst mistake. • Your personal space and privacy is not guaranteed. A staff together used their card to access our room in the middle of the night accompanied by a drunk female. • Norman the night receptionist displayed a very negative attitude from the time he picked our call when we were making an enquiry on room availability to when he was checking us into our room. • The place is extremely noisy from unruly guests and deafening music from the bar upstairs. • Breakfast buffet is a scam. Cold, unsavory meals. Very limited choices. • Be prepared to use lukewarm water flowing in form of drops to clean yourself."

Apex Resort

"I have been around this resort. Expect deafening silence around here. Life comes to a standstill. There are homes around the resort, but with few people. The sleepy, hilly area is generally underpopulated. You hardly see any movements even within the resort itself. From the hill on which Apex Resort is located, the whole of Lake Nakuru is clearly visible. It's a beautiful sight to behold, especially early in the morning or in the evening. Hyrax Hill, where I understood there's a museum, is also in view right across the resort. There are many other beautiful hills away. I took a walk through the woods surrounding the resort. Farmers worked on their little farms in the forest, weeding or uprooting yellowing beans. They generally spoke Kikuyu. They readily showed me the path to take across the hill. There are winding roads and paths throughout the area. The Menengai Forest Station isn't far away from this lodge. It's a walking distance. I took a road I learned headed to a place called "Crater." But I got tired. Fortunately, I stumbled upon a little park. A really nice, peaceful park near the Menengai Forest Station. It has no name, but it became my favorite quantum of solace for the period I was in this area. Apart from the occasional motorbikes and vehicles, there's hardly anything to make noise. The birds sang in the trees in the small park, and the grass was lush. There are 4 plaster/cement seats in the park, each facing a different direction. I returned to the spot the next day to sit and watch the trees and hear the birds. I was alone all the time. Talk of a ghost park. Nobody joined me, though there were occasional passersby heading to the beans and maize farms behind the park, and once four youths jogging on the road facing the park got into the park, stretched and did some press-ups for a while and then resumed jogging on the road. But the few empty bottles and food wrappers around the plaster seats were a good indication the park does have visitors. At one time, I saw a bunch of tall, youthful forest guards slithering through the woods quietly, carrying guns and rungus. Possibly from some mission to catch illegal loggers. The silence here is deafening. The silence would only be broken by the motorbike taxis ferrying passengers to "Crater." I named the park "Ghost Park" because I couldn't believe such a nice place was mostly empty or deserted. But then, the area receives few visitors because there are no attractions worth writing home about, apart from the forest. The locals certainly don't need to come to the park: it offers them nothing new. You come to this area if you long for peace and quiet and to be with raw nature. It's also safe. I wandered deep into the forests all alone. I walked to the furthest end of the park and saw a couple of three-stone cookers — a sign that some eventful activities happen here occasionally. Maybe weddings, community gatherings, etc. There were also two makeshift pit latrines walled with leaves."

Homebase Gardens

Eagle Palace Hotel

"The eagle palace was a great, clean and comfortable stay for us in Nakuru. The rooms are big and have all the necessaties, the bathroom was also huge. We had to leave at 5.30 am in the morning and they arranged for breakfast to be possible at 5am, which we greatly appreciate! They helped us with all our questions and all the staff was most welcoming and helpful."

Flamingo Hill Tented Camp

"Wow! What a fabulous camp! Staff are amazing and so helpful, and nothing was too much trouble! Let me start by thanking Joshua, our brilliantly attentive waiter, who always was one step ahead of our requirements, with a fabulous smile! Our accommodation was amazing (no need for keys here!)?) 🤣 Our tents were spotless, and the hot water bottles each evening in the bed were such a thoughtful gesture on chilly evenings! Suffice to say we slept like logs knowing our askari were about all night. The food in the restaurant, I'm at a loss for words! Chefs, 👏👏👏 you catered magnificently for all tastes, and we have never experienced such excellent cuisine on any other of our others 20+ Safaris. WELL DONE! The bar and fire pit were a lovely place to relax after a long day and have our perfect gin and tonics (not flat either!) Well done, gang! Our deepest thanks and respects!"
