    No curtains to block the sunlight in the morning. I would recommend to make your own breakfast if possible or give clear instructions of what and how to be made.

    Convenient one night stay near the airport to avoid protests. The host- Benson was responsive and welcoming. Clean place.

    When I was booking for a family of 5, I expected the system to automatically provide 2 rooms or enough space for 5, not sure if this the hosts problem or bookings problem. Benard, please ensure you provide all the information, and more importantly that the house is shared with other strangers. I did not see this info online. I felt very unsafe with strangers and my family in the same house.

    The house is very good. Clean rooms, Very comfortable beds. Damaris the caretaker was an excellent and kind lady. She made our stay really good. Good breakfast too.

    The room we had was rather small and cramped. We didn't have a place to keep our stuff. However, I understand given that we had dropped in last minute and they may not have had time to prepare other rooms.

    It is a nice, clean but basic place near the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. We stayed here overnight to catch an early morning flight. The staff was super sweet and accommodating even though we booked the place last minute and checked in late at night. It was a great price for a place to stay reasonably close to the airport (it was a 15min drive away).

    The location is near the airport,but roads lead to it are in a bad shape.

    The room is clean and comfortable. The staff is very helpful and responsive. There's breakfast in the price of the room, but if you stay just for the evening you can ask them to serve you food in the evening. Great place to stay if you need a place to take a shower or rest before the flight. The price is super cheap compared to the service!

    The host is friendly, caring and very helpful. Highly recommended if you need a place close to the airport or simply outside the city jam.

    Super friendly host! Location is great for the airport. Neighborhood is safe and 10min from the terminal. The breakfast was super tasty and the atmosphere was home-like. For sure the place to come back. Secure parking is also available.

    I didn't like pretty much everything else. I only needed a quiet night to sleep for 5-6 hours before my next flight. I booked this because ON THE MAP the place looks close to the airport; however, the drive took about 20 minutes and the address was confusing. There was no sign on the address mentioned on Booking, and it was so dark and even the Uber driver who was a local was a bit scared. The house itself has no security guard, but there's a guard on the street that probably takes care of multiple houses. I understand I booked in the evening and the owners had things to do so they were not home. When I took the key from the security guard outside and checked in, I saw that downstairs, the common area is dirty and there are leftover rice and chicken plates in kitchen, as well as a pot of some old boiled stuff on the stove. The stove gas was partly open and it smelled like gas, which is actually dangerous. Then the owners came back and by that time I had still not been able to sleep though I had little time left. I asked that they give me my breakfast as dinner as I hadn't eaten anything all day. They didn't have anything vegetarian, they said, so they gave me a small bag of potato chips and some soda which I had no choice but to take. Then at 9:30-10 pm they started (seemingly violently) taking the screaming chickens out of their truck. It was so disturbing to hear the screams. And simultaneously the lady started doing the dirty dishes as I was trying to sleep. I asked the host for a partial refund or at least to drive me to the airport due to the scary dark streets in the middle od the night, but he said he can't. All in all, I HIGHLY REGRET booking this place as better places which would probably take the same amount of time by car were available. I would never book this place again.

    The bed in the bigger room I stayed at was comfortable

    The road leading to it is not very good, directions could have been better - name of house is different from the housing complex name. Had to ask for toiletries as they were missing, the shower was not working - was offered an alternative to use.

    Relatively clean and not far from the airport. Breakfast was good.

    Bernard is very helpful, and he does everything to make your stay comfortable. The food was delicious, and accommodation was easily accessible at the airport. Also, airport pick-up and drop-off were perfect.
