Staying at the Lake Nakuru Lodge was a great experience . The rooms were nice and clean , staaf was friendly and helpful (as almost everywhere in Kenya) and food was great . At diner , there was a singer-guitarist wandering around between the tables . But the most impressive were the amazing and spectacular views on Lake Nakuru Park and the lake itself . I will return to this lodge one day !

Whilst Lake Nakuru is paradise with plentiful of animals and easy access to lions, rhinos etc, it is very sad to note that Lake Nakuru Lodge, situated within the park is run down and falling apart. With visits to the Lake on a weekly basis, we had no choice but to stop at the Lodge for refreshments. We were shocked to find no customer services / welcome. The ladies toilets were filthy and run down. The access for disabled guests is limited. The tea coffee area is dirty and cups are chipped. There appears to be no quality control on their lay out. Very sad to note that warm reception, guest relations and feedback is like non existent. The bar area is filthy, noisy and takes away from the tranquility of the surroundings. This has happened on two occasions in four weeks! On the contrary the other lodge, Lion Hill Sarova, can teach them a thing or two - where service and excellence prevail.

Lake Nakuru is perhaps one of the very few hotels in Kenya who manages a happy balance between comfortable stay and great animal viewing. This hotel , located inside the Lake Nakuru National Park is built on a hillock with the ground sloping away to the lake offering an unimpeded view to a wide and ever-changing vista. The water-hole just outside the dining room is a popular gathering place for herbivores and they keep the guests entertained with their antics throughout the day.
Some rooms have wall-to-wall glass windows, offering amazing views even during the nights. The staff are helpful and very knowledgable about the flora and fauna around and are always willing to answer all questions patiently.
Definitely worth a vist just for its atmospheric location.

We Stayed at Lake Nakuru Lodge in January and cannot complain about a thing. The room was clean and a good size, with stunning views. For a lodge in the middle of a game reserve the water pressure was incredible! The food was great, with a good choice for each course, especially at breakfast. Although we didn't have time to use the pool, it looked lovely and very clean. Most impressive of all were the staff. From the moment we arrived supplying us with a welcome drink to the watchmen around every corner day and night. The whole logde felt very safe and welcoming, we will definitely be back!
