"We came from the UK as a family of three and stayed in one of the studios. Honestly? Spotless, spacious, and super peaceful. The garden view from our room was stunning — mornings felt like a painting. Great value for what you get, and the staff couldn’t be warmer."
Herman S.
"A spontaneous weekend away from Nairobi turned into the most romantic little trip. We had a huge room with our own terrace and views over the trees and hills. The peaceful vibe and organic meals made it feel like a real retreat. Would 100% recommend for couples."
Aisha N.
"As a family of five from Germany we booked the Airbnb house. Big, clean, super comfy, lake breeze in the evening. The kids loved the huge garden with a playground. The lodge is solar powered. Amazing food, too, all fresh from the farm. In short: the mix of privacy and hospitality is awesome and highly recommended."
Harald W.
"Needed a solo recharge and True Story was a dream. Big room, quiet garden, and the food was fresh and satisfying. I did a hike through Hell’s Gate and came back to sit with a tea on my terrace watching birds. Honestly, perfect."
Kairuthi M.
"Stayed with my friends for a weekend and this place delivered. It was the perfect mix of nature and chill. Our room was huge, fitted easily 2 single beds. We went for hiking at Hells Gate and even did a boat ride on the lake nearby. The view of the crater hills, and the food was honestly way better than we expected. Big garden, lots of space — 10/10."
