Good budget accommodation. Location is great since it is right in front of a supermarket and restaurant. Room and bathroom were very clean. Very safe area around. Very good communication with the owner.

I liked the pool, the breakfast on the terrace and the relaxing environment. The place is very clean. Standard room are very nice, but budget room is very small and the showers is bad. Some members of the staff are extremely nice, like Susan, others make trubles... Overall in a good place to stay, we spent 2 weeks and the location was good for us because we needed to travel to magadi everyday.
