I highly recommend this accommodation. The owner is exceptionally kind and generous. The house is well-maintained by diligent workers, ensuring everything is clean. They are also very friendly and willing to help. Having lived in East Africa for the past 2 years, this has been my best experience yet. I will definitely recommend it to anyone in the area. The facilities are comprehensive, and the location is very convenient, with supermarkets and currency exchange within walking distance. Additionally, there is a security guard who ensures the safety of the house from evening until morning. It was definitely a value-for-money decision.

You can meet many nice people here and the facilities are enough to meet your expectation as a low-badget accommodation. Location is nice - you can go to the big shopping mall in 5 minutes walk and you can withdraw money, buy food, prepare for safari etc...

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
