I took a group of 14 young children to Whistling Thorns. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive and the food delicious. The pool was clean, if rather cold. Thank you for looking after us! More

I stayed here for 10 nights in April. As a solo traveler, and one looking for a safe and comfortable place to lay my head at night, Whistling Thorns exceeded my expectations. I found the service to be exceptional, the food better than average and the accommodations (I had a tent) perfect for my needs. The staff here are above... More

I have been here before but only for lunch. I expected the rustic look of the dining room to transfer to the bedrooms but wasnt I shocked. The bathroom was especially horrible to say the least! They really need to spend some money to make the bathrooms better especially for the amount of money they charge! More

Great to have such a relaxed place so close to bustling Nairobi. On the other hand, I think the scenery/views is overrated in their website (thought the view on the Ngong Hills is nice). The accommodation is very basic, the food good but not special, the service the same, and due to the boring environment walks and horse riding are... More
