    I'm glad to have found this place to rest and recuperate. Sally and the other staff took very good care of me. Dinner was fulfilling and breakfast was excellent. I slept well.

    Internet issues when we were visiting

    Affordable. Close to tsavo. Nice aesthetic. Friendly hosts. Restaurant on site. Power went out due to high winds, but hosts were doing their best to make us comfortable.

    Simple but clean - absolute value for money 👍🏼

    In my opinion, the beds are a bit small for accommodating two adults, unless you are happy with a very cosy night 😉

    Absolut VALUE FOR MONEY 👍🏼 the Lodge is situated directly on Mombasa highway, almost at half point, and is a wonderful opportunity to take a break on that tiring drive. Staff were very welcoming and had no problems with our extremely late arrival. Superb 👍🏼 The rooms are not exceedingly large, and the beds are better for one than two people. On the other hand, everything is clean, tidy and welcoming, including soap and a bottle of water. Breakfast is served in a small courtyard. Again everything was clean and tidy and again good value for money 😊 If you’re looking for a clean and inexpensive place to take a break on the journey to Mombasa or back to Nairobi, I can only recommend the Sunview Lodge 💪🏼😎

    The bathrooms were really small and the door didn´t close properly.

    It is a good place to stay whilst travelling from Nairobi to Mombasa or national parks. It has a restaurant with a lot of options and the food was good, especially the chicken soup! There is a closed parking to leave the car. The rooms are tiny, but enough for one night. We had ants in the room, so we left our food in the car. They installed a baby cot, so it was a great detail. We slept well, no mosquitoes and no noise from the road.

    It was in the middle of nowhere although they had a friendly bar next door.

    Was in an ideal location as a stopover on route to Mombassa. On the highway so no driving miles on unmade roads to find it. Even though it was on the highway it really wasn’t troubled by traffic noise.

    The room was much too small for two adults. For alcoholic drinks the staff had to go to the village to buy there. The dinner in the restaurant was prepared without any passion... not meeting the expectations. But I was compensated with a good breakfast the following day.

    Friendly staff, nice equipped restaurant.

    one mini minus: due to security reasons you‘re locked into the rooms quarter during the night. Wandering ouround and sitting in the patio was not possible.

    A surprise at the roadside of Kibwesi we detected through recommendation: The place looked a bit worn from the outside, but when we entered we found immaculate premises with a quiet lovely touch for details. It is a simple lodge with a lovely and gentle team of powerful women running the business. We were very fond of the service, the food and how we were treated during our overnight stay. Definitely nothing to complain - on the contrary ❤️🇰🇪

    Intentional lie about equipment. No air conditioning and wifi. Loud fan.

    Good location halfway between Nairobi and Mombasa. Tasty food.

    - it was hard getting transportation but it was possible - many many bugs! So bring some spray

    - it was easy to find from the highway - the host was very communicative, helpful and kind (helped us with all our questions and requests) - the restaurant in the hotel is very good and cheap (and it’s nice to not have to look for food after a long day) - the rooms are small but fully equipped and the beds are comfortable
