    On site transportation when it is raining. We had to wait a long time to get a ride to our room with several bags as it was raining so perhaps investing in a few golf karts for such days to make wait times shorter

    The views from the lodge are phenomenal but even more impressive was how consistently attentive the staff was throughout our stay. Loved the food as well and was appreciative for the accommodations made for us traveling with small children. Highly recommended

    Information on how to reach the lodge can be better. The food was okay, but not great.

    Lodge is at a nice location in the park. Accomodation is already a bit older but still fine. Personell is very friendly and helpfull. They helped us enjoy our stay and fulfilled all our requests.

    The fact that every night you stay incurs a full day's park fees, currently US$60 per person per 24 hours for non-Kenyan or EAC residents. I feel fees should be discounted for those who stay in the park.

    Excellent, inclusive, large buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, catering to local and international tastes.

    You have to pay to enter the national park- an additional $60 USD per night for each night you will stay at the resort. Then, the drive is 20 km (~45min) over bumpy roads with large puddles, so ensure you have an appropriate vehicle. There is no wifi in the rooms and very spotty (at best) wifi in the shared areas.

    The staff couldn't have been friendlier- they truly welcomed me and helped make my weekend special. The views and facilities were fantastic. The food was delicious.

    I enjoyed the location, it's exactly what I needed to unplug from my usual city life. The views are panoramic views & relaxing, the food is delicious and the staff are very caring. It was as though I was home away from home. I also appreciated that they have an in-house clinician within the facility. I would definitely come back again. Thank you team Sopa for an amazing experience.

    Such a fantastic lodge, contemporary and yet in keeping with the Kenyan style of lodges. Absolutely beautiful cottages with the most amazing views of Lake Nakuru and the surrounding hills. Beautiful views from the cottage, poolside, bar and open dining areas. lovely staff, especially in the dining area. Facility headed by a warm-hearted caring Manager, Mr James Mwema. The head chef, Joseph, and his team create the most amazing meals. Their chef for Indian vegetarian food, Caroline, prepares delicious homestyle Indian food. I would highly recommend staying at this lodge

    Despite that it is strange the water (other than the complimentary 2 bottles in the room), fresh juice, soft drinks and bottles juice are all chargeable separately in a supposedly full board package, but we were not informed by the waiter when we were placing our order.

    View was really good and rooms were clean. Receptionist (Halima) was exceptionally nice and friendly. The reason to significantly increase the rating on this platform and others.

    The upholstery in the room was stained so it gave you the impression that they were not as clean (the room was very clean though).

    Huge rooms with panoramic view of lake Nakuru. Very good food and coffee. Excellent staff, especially the ladies at the restaurant and Kelvin who shared his knowledge about the animals around - he shared more details than our game driver did across 6 days (we booked a game driver via a different hotel we stayed at in Nairobi), so we really appreciated Kelvin’s time and knowledge sharing.
