+ Wunderschöne grüne Oase im lauten, geschäftligen Nairobi. Einladendes Haus mit Eingansbereich, Garten und Küche, herrliche Dusche im Gemeinschaftsbadezimmer.

- Unser Schlafzimmer war separat im hinteren Teil des Gartens gelegen, leider etwas vernachlässigt ohne funktionierende Dusche und etwas schmuddelig. Die Badezimmer im Haus sind allerdings tip-top. Die Küche wäre eigentlich supertoll, aber rudimentär, und Besteck haben wir keines gefunden. Das Personal war freundlich, aber nach dem Check-in haben wir niemanden mehr gesehen. Dafür die Hunde, wovon einer nicht für eine Gaststätte geeignet ist... Ich hoffe sehr, dass das Backpackers weiterlebt!

+ The place is really nice with a lot of open space around, with beautiful gardens, perfect for yoga, sports etc. The kitchen and the common spaces are really nice and perfect for connecting with more travellers. Also, the owner Dan is a very cooperative and supporting guy.

Book elsewhere. Zero atmosphere. Two aggressive dogs that bark at you every time you are near the property. They overcharge you like crazy to do laundry. Mosquitos everywhere: There’s cheaper air bnbs or literally go stay at Jabulani if you want social vibes

Great hostel - nice location with egg & fruit stands on the same street. There is a large backyard - very lush & equipped with hammocks, volleyball court & more. The common areas and couches are nice to meet other travelers or relax alone, and the WiFi was always working when I stayed there for 3 weeks. Hot water showers & mosquito netting on the beds. Shoutout to the owner Daniel for taking care of me when I was bedridden with food poisoning for the last week. He goes above and beyond to help.

Cozy space with really chill vibes! Off the beaten path so a little further away form giraffe sanctuary And national park but if you're looking for a place for quiet and not as social this is it. Great place !

+ Great place in the quiet and safe neighborhood of Lavington. Spacious area with big garden, many plants and different outdoor seating areas. Helpful staff, stable WiFi, well equipped common kitchen. Easy to get in contact with other guests, great place to share and receive information and advice about further travels in the region

Lovely hostel that is hidden behind greenery and its own gate. The yard was great as it offered a peaceful atmosphere with seating variation. Not much traffic or other noises were heard inside during nighttime - just the local ibis' that fly by every house in the morning. The bed was ok and the mosquito net was a must have. The location itself was a bit of a challenge regarding pickups for trips etc. but Uber worked great. There are some good cafes and restaurant nearby.
