Top Kakamega Forest Hotel Reviews

Ciala Resort Best Hotel in Kisumu Kenya

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful experience"

Desert Rose Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasant stay. Staff is super welcoming."

Golf Hotel Kakamega

8/10 Good

"Our room was spacious, and came with a working refrigerator and hot pot. We had electrical outlets to the left and right of the bed which was very helpful for all the devices we need to charge. Outside there is wonderful green space so you can ealk around the hotel grounds for exercise. The food was the only drawback. If it was choma, then it was excellent but the regular kitchen was standard fare. All of it took 1-1 1/2 hours to prepare and they didnt take your order till they opened at 6pm so we were eating later than planned given our early morning start time. At times, we were served a few plates and the others came 15-20 minutes later. I would still highly recommend it for all the other features. The staff are EXCELLENT! Someone has taught them customer service!! We were always greeted with smiling helpful staff everywhere throughout the hotel."

Lovely Garden Guest Home

10/10 Excellent

"It was not close to the airport as the sight said but other than that it was a nice place"

ALLENS HOTEL

8/10 Good

"Allen’s Hotel is a nice budget friendly hotel. The staff are very friendly. The room was cleaned everyday and they changed the towels everyday. It’s outside Kapsabet town. They can do better with their breakfast options. Very limited variety of food and it was so little for the number of people who were rewinding there. "
