+ Nothing. I booked two nights and I stayed one!
- - VERY dirty - Bathroom was very dirty. I left without taking a shower. - The room is against a garden that was full of trash. A lot of mosquitoes coming from there. - I didn't feel safe at all -There were spiders hanging from the room that seem to be there for months - There are way better options in Nairobi for better prices (I stayed in Nairobi for a month)
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
+ There are spacious common areas. Although the location is quite isolated and the place is not easy to identify on arrival.
- My bag was taken from my room. If that was not bad enough the staff and owner did not seem concerned about this and were not helpful in trying to understand what had happened. The owner in particularly acted with distain and told me it was out of her control. I told her that given the door to the room could not be locked, there were no lockers for bags and they had no survellance that these could be some changes that would enhance controls. But mostly it was just the dismissive attitude of the staff and ownership that was a problem. After the event, they made an effort to make me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome and it seems they felt my presence in the hostel was bad publicity so they treated me in a manner that would make me leave. I did not initially blame them for the bag going missing as I understand that it can happen, but the way they acted towards me in the aftermath I found highly inappropriate and that is what motivated me to publish a review of my experience. I hope if nothing else it can be a lesson for them to understand the importance of property going missing in a hostel environment and that the victim of that event should br treated with sympathy and comfort not with disdain.
+ Good location
- There were a lot of small things that are very easy to fix that would make a massive difference… like properly handing the curtains in the room, instead of leaving them ripped down half way… insect mesh over the windows and the round hold above the entrance door… cleaning the shower room, etc.
+ Location
- Cleanliness
+ 넓은 정원, 편한 자연환경
- 불편한 잠자리.주방 .와이파이 , 주위에서 할것이 없다.
+ The hostel is surrounded by a nice garden. The setting is quiet. Beds are comfotable (mosquito nets have no holes). Hot shower was OK. Staff was not rude and correctly explained the rules.
- No Wifi in the room (the lady in charge told me the reason is, they want guests to socialize in the common area). You have to buy drinking water in the bar (it is not included in the price). I told the staff member who checked me in, I had walked 3 hours with my backpack through the slum close to the hostel due to Googlemaps misleading routing, but she did not even offer me a glass of water. Extension to connect European plug to their power outlet is only available at a price: 2 USD Breakfast costs 5 USD!!! There are many rules. For me it is obvious you do not take somebody else's belongings, why put that on a notice. The effect it had on me, was I felt rather insecure about leaving anything in the fridge or outside a locker. The location on the margins of Lavington close to Kangware slum is not convenient. You would have to take Uber or Bolt to reach the city the cost of which adds up, if you would have to do that every day. In the direct vicinity is there is not much to do. The nearest supermarket is 1.5 km away (3 km return), but you have to walk there along an unpleasant road with lots of traffic. I left the next morning to return to Jabulani hostel in Westlands.
+ 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!
+ Seems to be located in a nice area, with some restaurants on the same street. It has a big garden, common room and kitchen and seemed friendly enough...
- Mosquitos were a problem, and nets in the rooms weren't practical. Overall, not a comfortable room experience, with only one light source that was off early with people going to bed. Not enough plugs to charge for everyone in the room. With many puppies running around, I found dog poop both in the hallways and also in my room (!!) Come on!!

+ 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.
+ Nice garden, nice place. Friendly, comfortable

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.
+ Beatiful hostel! Super comfortable beds and the garden is beautiful
- WiFi doesnt work in the rooms

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.
