Menengai Crater House
Ross and Kyle are fantastic hosts. They have a beautiful guest house with huge rooms and all the amenities you would want. They very kindly picked us up from town on arrival and organised a day safari in Lake Nakuru National Park. They also organised for our washing to be done! A fantastic stay,would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Nakuru!

Sunset Villa's Garden house with private pool
Beautiful pearl in Kilifi

Rosslyn NGH2 1 or 2 bedrooms
This is my second time staying at this unit, and it’s just as great as the first. The apartment is brand new, very clean, and well-maintained. It features a modern kitchen, a sleek bathroom, and a quiet, comfortable bedroom. The living room has a flat-screen TV—perfect for relaxing. The neighborhood is peaceful and feels very safe. Overall, a reliable and pleasant place to stay. Highly recommended!

Home in Langata 1 km to Nairobi National Park
Janet is a terrific host. Very friendly and welcoming.

Fully furnished, house in Thika
Stayed for a week, enjoyed every minute of it. It was secure (gated community, gated compound), cleaning was done daily, Carolin, her family and crew were very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. About two miles from Ananas Mall which we enjoyed walking to. Easy access to public transportation. Would stay there if in the area again.

Bamboo Cottage, Langata
Ruth and Nigel were very accommodating of our small family. We had lots of privacy and they were very willing to share their garden and pool with us. This secluded haven in the Karen suburbs is a very peaceful and leafy respite to return to if one has a day of business in Nairobi or for the foreign tourist a wonderful, homely place to stop over and glimpse the high quality lifestyle of Karen, Nairobi. The dogs are super friendly and enjoyed our toddlers attention. The large bath was a big plus for our young children.

Justin's cottage in a beautiful garden
Beatiful piece of land with a cozy and nice apartment

Cosy Garden Cottage / House
A gem of a hidden Airbnb! Jürgen quickly responded to any messages, he was organised and thorough. It was lovely to meet both him and his wife. Such a friendly welcome! The guest cottage has everything you would need for a short or longer stay in Nairobi, everything was thought of. The location is ideal - very close to Village Market, UN area, Sarit centre and lots of other key spots. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!

Excellent stay at this property. Everything from the check in process to the property and everything else was excellent. Will definitely be visiting again

Top Haven: Cozy, Modern, 1bedroom + Garden access
I've stayed in the apartment of Naomi for 5 weeks. It was absolutely lovely. The house is cosy and clean (and kept clean throughout the week by Christine the housekeeping lady) and offers everything you will need, from hair dryer to good wifi to kitchen equipment. The garden, green and quiet surroundings was a huge plus for me. To have my own balcony was amazing to me. Laundry could be done by the housekeeping lady for a small price. It feels secure to have the family home next to the apartment, the family is attentive and welcoming. Naomi is an amazing host, friendly, and always made sure everything was in order. The house lies within a gated estate so it's definitely secure. My only point to add for consideration when booking, is because it's residential area, the distance to shops and amenities is somewhat larger. For gym lovers - be aware there is no gym within the estate, which I assumed based on the 'features' in the description. Other than that: definitely recommend!!

The Sheltuh near UN US Embassy
Great stay here, walking distance from the UN, quiet and safe. Susan was kind and attentive. Would recommend for those looking for an affordable option in Gigiri.

Rosslyn cozy cottage. UN/Gigiri with garden, pool.
Katelyn is an extremely kind, responsive and accommodating host. I left in a hurry on my last day and forgot to leave my key behind, she quickly came up with a solution to rectify my oversight and took full ownership of the incident. Great location if you have work around Gigiri. Very peaceful place and flexible check in terms.

Casa Maria,Watamu
Maria’s place was very lovely and super spacious. We loved spending our time in the sitting room with the breeze coming through the windows. It’s in a really nice location walking distance to Watamu beach and a short drive to Garoda beach. Maria was very helpful giving local tips as well. Be aware on weekends there is a bit of loud music from a nearby club, we used earplugs and it was fine but just a heads up ! Definitely recommend this place for watamu. Thank you!

The Cosy Cottage in the heart of Karen
One of our best holiday stays. Samantha's property is a beautiful oasis in Karen. The cottage is lovely and has a view of the gardens. It was everything that we dreamed it would be. Highly recommend this property if you are visiting Nairobi!

Lovely Serviced Studio Garden Cottage
Fantastic stay. The cottage was beautiful and the staff so friendly and helpful. We loved our stay and would really recommend it. Thank you everyone.

Beautiful GardenHouse with Terrace
I had an amazing stay at this wonderful garden cottage! It is super cosy, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully prepared. It feels like you have a huge garden all to yourself, and it has a wonderful veranda from which you can enjoy the green space. The location is amazing, very central in Nairobi and yet on a quiet, leafy residential road. The host was fantastic, super responsive and very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting a home away from home in Nairobi, whether it's a night or a longer stay.

Takaungu Private House - smidge of heaven!
Time slows down as you recline on the cushions, a frosty drink in hand, your face cooled by the breeze. Looking out over Takaungu bay, the flippers of the fishermen bobbing up and down in the waves, dhows outlining the horizon, the kids distracted in the pool, gives you the space to let go of your city worries and let the serenity wash over you like the waves of a calm mid-month ocean tide. Thank you Charlie and Philip and the amazing team for taking such good care of us. Christine's lemon cake will not be soon forgotten! We will be back!

Unwind, Relax, Rejuvenate in a serene guest house
Lisa was an excellent host. She has an absolutely beautiful space that has all the amenities to guarantee an amazing stay. We spent our new year’s holiday her villas with my friends and we were all blown away by her hospitality and we felt more of friend/family than guests. Dave was awesome with the kids, the rooftop enabled a great view of fireworks during new year’s celebration and the staff were extremely kind and ensured our rooms were clean and comfortable throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better find on Airbnb!
