Our stay would have been better if we had dependable internet and toilet seats on the commode. Also, we made the reservations for 5 people and when we arrived the rooms were not side by side but there was a room in between ours and our children which was a little scary."

Top Lake Nakuru National Park Hotel Reviews

The Encore Hotel Nakuru

10/10 Excellent

"Encore was awesome in everything.A destination for enjoyment, peace of mind not to mention the service from each and every employee was far above their call duty. My wife and I love encore Nakuru. We'll most definitely be back. I highly recommend this hotel a the destiny hotel in Kenya."

Buraha Zenoni Hotel and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a pleasant surprise. I was greeted outside, given a hot towel to wipe my hands, and then served cold Hibiscus tea while I waited for my room. When my room was ready, everything was explained to me in detail. I was given the wrong room, but when I brought it to their attention and showed them, it was immediately corrected. The room and bathroom were clean. Everyone was kind and gentle and aimed to please to ensure I had a great stay. Great value."

Lake Nakuru Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place with a great staff"

Flamingo Hill Tented Camp

10/10 Excellent

"It was altogether wonderful BUT we did not know that the camp, being inside the Lake Nakuru Park would mean paying a great deal more than the hotel rates - an extra £300, for the 2days. Your booking should warn people of this before they book the camp."
