Reviews of Amboseli Glass house

Thank you to the host Thomas for an unforgettable stay at the Glass House. We stayed in the wooden one. The food from Chef Sam was amazing and went beyond expectations. Every meal tasted like it was made with real passion. The packed lunches for our game drives were convenient and perfectly portioned. The beds were soft and very comfortable. The view of Mt. Kilimanjaro was breathtaking. The pool was a little cold but still fun and refreshing. The showers were not heated, but after a day in the African sun, they felt just right. Another Sam, who takes care of the house, was incredibly kind and attentive. He made sure we were always comfortable and set up an outdoor fire every evening just in time for stargazing. Getting there was a bit challenging. We’ve pinned the exact spot where to turn off from the main highway C102 and added a photo for directions: https://maps.app.goo.gl/CYh3SEKKKM2rwhQx6?g_st=aw. The Google Maps route is bumpier, so it’s best to avoid it. This place is truly special and made for an unforgettable experience.

Everyone was very welcoming. I had a dog with me which they were very accommodating about. The place looked out over Mount Kilimanjaro. They put on the fire pit and bbq on request whenever it was needed.

The kitchenware was extremely high in the cupboards making it very difficult to get anything.

Everything was excellent!

We had excellent communication with the owner. He tried to solve all our questions. His assistants tried to help us in everything. The owner organized a great safari.

The house needs renovation. It is noticeable that nothing has been updated here for several years. The shower is broken in all the bedrooms, the furniture is broken and dirty. The curtains were dirty, the room smells of dampness. The owner definitely needs to do some renovations.

The positioning near Kilimanjaro

There were some water issues. But the owner handled it well

The host that organized safari, the very welcoming staff, amazing welcoming, service and security. The house view on the Kilimanjaro mountain, very nice view, clean, all amnities are available. You have a terrace bone

Nothing

The location, the personal and the chef. Beautiful wiev to the Kilimandjaro mount when the weather is clean.

Maybe a little bit clean windows and the bathroom.

Perfect view of mount Kilimanjaro, and Samuel always helped us for anything we need. He is outstanding guy. 100% Recommended. I will definitely visit here again. So clam and peaceful ambience. Truly appreciated.

Cool place to go with friends.

The staffs

No hot water Bathrooms not very clean closets broken

The place with the best view ever. You can see Kilimanjaro from the room and terrace. A quiet village around. Peace and quiet, beautiful views. This is one of the best memories from Kenya. The breakfasts, lunches and dinners prepared by the Chef were very tasty. On the day of our visit to the park, he got up very early and prepared lunch and breakfast for us so that we could take our meals to the park. It was a delicious break from animal viewing. Another guy helped us get to the property from the main road and to the main road from the property the first and next day. We are very grateful to the owner and his staff for a nice stay. We highly recommend staying there. It was better than the park itself. Additional information: The road from the place to the park was also very interesting. Early in the morning and in the evening we passed many animals walking along the road: monkeys, giraffes, antelopes, zebras.

Views of Kilimanjaro are stunning and the peace and quiet most welcome. Staff are friendly and the evening BBQ and bonfire great.

Pretty difficult to find. Got lost every time we came and left the place. It's several kms from the main road. Showers were a bit hit and miss, never quite warm and flood the whole bathroom. Few things need upgrading and renovating. Looks a bit more dated compared with the photos...

The stunning view on the Kilimanjaro. Samuel, who is looking after the house was such a great person. He was very helpful and very kind.

The road to access the house was difficult.

great design, good view of Kilimanjaro! also amazing stuff, very tasty breakfast and dinner!

ask the host for the shortcut to the house from the main road, the google maps way is really long and dangerous

The location is excellent. Great views of Kilamanjaro (if the clouds don't obstruct it). Clear starry nights. Complimentary beer and a bonfire! Fully functional kitchen too

Don't follow Google maps to reach - ask the Host. There's a much better road which isn't shown on the map. Also, you'll probably need own transport/ arrange a cab. Not close to public transport. Also the drain in one bathroom was clogged, the water stayed stagnant for a bit after a bath

Large and modern rooms, power generator for blackouts, wonderful chef @ home for dinner and breakfast on request, warm welcome by co-host

Hot water only warm, no internet connection (it had a temporary issue, probably: wifi was working and router was on)

The view was amazing. Big glass windows facing mount kilimanjaro. First was the mountain hidden in clouds, but next day almost totally exposed. Travel to Amboseli National Park was not far and we have seen 4 out of the big 5 in one day. Back at the Glass house there was a BBQ waiting.

I loved the smooth check inn process , the road to it one needs a good car but manageable. The host Thomas super helpful and gave clear instructions, the caretaker Sam was friendly and pleasant.The house is indeed a gem love the set up kudos to the chef .The view of the Mountain is amazing scenic all the way .I enjoyed my stay and would totally recommend .Thank you Thomas and for adding oomph to the place.

The road can be a tricky manoeuvre ,some improvements on the shower itay be the pressure of the water for consideration.

Location is beautiful and the compound is quite nice. The house is very spacious and comfortable. The host, Brian, was very friendly

There is no way to get fresh air in the bedrooms, or bathrooms, which is not so nice. The noise of music and prayers from the nearby church was annoying and went all night until 6 am. We actually thought there was a watchman who was singing, only to by yu77

Excelent

Add more mirrors

The Facility has nice views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, It is a homely environment with a great host.

The host is very hospitable. He checks on my comfort frequently. There's an awesome view of Mt. Kilimanjaro from the house, clearely viewable from the room due to the big glasses in the room. That was a really great architectural work. There's plenty of fenced outdoor space that one can use to unwind safely. I liked the pool table accessibility for guests. The place is clean and has plenty of clean water. I recommend everyone to visit this glass house in Oloitoktok
