Now I know that "tacky" is culturally defined -- so what I find tacky, others may find elegant, beautiful, apropos, or even tasteful. Pictures on the walls, not only signed by the artists, but with their mobile numbers as well -- tacky. As someone else said, way too much concrete - tacky. Walls covered in half cut tree branches covered... More

Advertized as the "True African experience" far too much concrete. Nice enough and fantastic views, but very much a package holiday experience. Staff were very friendly, and place is clean, but its really a place for lunch for Nakuru business people, not a holiday destination. I would be very disappointed if a Safari company brought me here. Food was ok... More

Elementaita Country Lodge will always have a special place in my heart. The atmosphere is just what it is, fantastic. From the scenery to just how cold it can get, personally i would trade that weather for any other place in the world. I am actually glad that they have wonderfull rooms especially the cottages (Cottage number 6) where we... More

This place offers fantastic rooms, a fantastic location, I really enjoyed the food, the service and the hospitality. i take note especially because the last time i was here the food was not up to the standards we expected, this time round everything was in order especially my favorite food which was fish and chicken.

My Girlfriend and I spent 1 night at Elementaita Country Lodge and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our stay was very peaceful. Lake Elementaita is a favorite weekend getaway spot for Nairobians so we had expected it to be much more crowded although I presume it was because it was after Easter Break. We loved that the guests were a mix that... More

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. This place could be great - but it isn't. The hotel itself offers good rooms, a great location and stunning views. But the service and the food are awful. Everything takes forever to arrive and the food just isn't any good. It's not a cheap place, so you expect things to be better than... More

It’s about 2 months since initiating a written complaint about the poor services and quality of food served at our wedding held at Elementaita country lodge last December 2011. By any normal standards, two months is a long enough period of time to go by without feedback. I spoke to and emailed one of the directors of this lodge shortly... More

I stayed here last december and was suprised to see the owner walking around drunk. The management know this and hence take advantage of the situations that would otherwise require competent management resolutions.They boast a large variety of food choices on the menu but you will be shocked when you order something and you are told its out of stock....

Elementaita country lodge has a beautiful scenery, but thats about it. The front desk staff dont smile and the manager is arrogant-James. The hotel cannot cater for a large party (they would like to convince you otherwise) but you will be diappointed. Remember to turn on the water heater in your room upon checking in otherwise you will be taking... More

This hotel nestles between the main A104 road and Lake Elementaita not far short of Nakuru on the drive across the Rift Valley from Nairobi. Its setting is spectacular by the lake which is famed for its flamingos, provided rain has not taken away too much saltiness. The rooms are first class, it has a nice pool and you will... More
