Hotel reviews
TravellerTravellerI stayed at Backpackers before this is not backpacker anymore. Price of beer is $4 cocktail $8. Not eco anymore they have English toilets. Price of room is higher than nearby B&B. Everyone who was staying was complaining about the prices. This place used to be really nice and affordable and staff were friendly. Even new staff don’t seem to like working there. WiFi didn’t work at all so I couldn’t work.
TravellerLoved the Bandas, with the open showers and composting toilets. Friendly staff and good location.
TravellerNice place. I would come there next time again. Nice people there. Nice landscape.
TravellerAn oasis in busy Kenia
Also this stay was fantastic. The “Back packers” as it is known by the locals gives you a basis to come yo yourself and plan whatever you want. Great assistence when you want something - inside or outside the lodge
