What a great place! A lot of historic charm and wildlife on the grounds - the staff were amazingly kind and gracious. Reception team was warm and welcoming. Excellent hot showers. In passing conversation, my husband mentioned that the Lake Naivasha Country club was where he proposed to me 25 years ago. The operations manager Danep somehow noted this and a few hours later at dinner arranged to have a beautiful cake made that said "marry me again". It was such a thoughtful touch! We will definitely be back!

I booked and paid for a delux room with three beds. Instead, the room we were allocated upon check in, had one kind bed, they then added a macro small bed making the room to lack space. The selling room description is not what we got. Very misleading.

Hotel is not worth 5 stars as quoted in Expedia

The stay was bad. In the site Lake Naivasha Country Club is rated as 5 stars. But it is less than 2 stars. The rooms are too old and not not properly fitted bathrooms. Hot water is always a problem. The food is pathetic and no variety as expected in a 5 star hotel. I would not recommend anyone for this.

The entrance to the complex is extremely off-putting and needs attention - it leaves an extremely poor first impression. The road from the entrance gate to the hotel complex is partially unsurfaced and full of potholes - it is also poorly signed. The view of the lake and Crescent Island from the hotel grounds is spoiled by the multiple derelict wooden buildings and rotting wooden walkways inside the club property lines. Either remove them or invest in their refurbishment which would attract more people to enjoy the beautiful views.

Ripoff on drinking water

The location is great. It is a shame that the management/ owners have not taken care of the appearance of the buildings and especially the lake/ garden view. The old destroyed buildings from the floods have been left there like ghosts to spoil the beautiful view. The rooms have tarnished items, some lights don’t work properly, windows need attention. Yet they have very glossy brochures showing their huge chain of hotels in Cuba … The biggest ripoff on drinking water ever!!! They charged us the same price as a bottle of beer. KS 450???? It was the highest price we had paid ever in a hotel or lodge. Please take your own to the table / restaurant if you are going to stay there.

The check in process was extremely terrible and unpleasant. I showed them reservation number from Expedia and they said that they can't find any booking from Expedia for a technical reason or something. And that I should show them the email to confirm. After showing the email it took them like 20 min to confirm. I explained the issue the management in the morning and they didn't do anything about it. The other thing, the accommodation is not good for people who want to have good sleep because of the loud noise of birds or creatures early in the morning.

Pool was not in service. Wonderful wildlife experience. On site right in front our room, we have seen; monkeys, zebras, wildebeest, hyppo, birds! Rooms are quite bigs. Hot shower nice and food is a buffet (that would have been nice to have a la carte diner). Excellent experience overall, i highly recommend.

Ein traumhafter Aufenthalt! Wir hatten zwei Zimmer nebeneinander. Der Empfang war herzlich und schnell, der Service ausgezeichnet – sogar unser Gepäck wurde aufs Zimmer gebracht. Das Zimmer war top ausgestattet, sehr bequeme Betten, viel Trinkwasser in den Zimmern und alles hat perfekt funktioniert inklusive Netflix ☺️. Das Essen war immer frisch und lecker, sogar eine Lunchbox wurde uns auf Anfrage vorbereitet. Besonders einzigartig: Frühstück mit Zebras im Garten, dazu Waterbucks, Affen – einfach unvergesslich! Die Extra-Kosten, z. B. für Massagen, waren absolut fair. Ich war rundum zufrieden und würde nochmal kommen. Top empfehlenswert!

Some good and some bad points.

We have visited 3 times. As a couple in 2015, as a family in 2017 and now in December 2019. We have enjoyed each trip and the service and food generally is very good. Except for breakfast, which is poor quality, lots of cheap tasting cereals, juice, and yogurts. Buffet lunch and dinner are great though. The main problem with this place is it needs investment and updating. The rooms in particular are bordering on dilapidated. Our bathroom had obviously had one window broken and just been replaced with a make-shift piece of plastic. Cleaning is okay, but there seems to be many parts of the room (bathroom door) that just dont get cleaned properly if at all. Pillows and sheets are old, need replacing. Grounds are lovely and peaceful. Not much to do nearby really and there needs to be more places for guests to sit and relax. As an old British colonial era building the hotel has charm but is overpriced and has been left behind back lack of updating and investment. We have enjoyed our time at country club, particularly in 2015 but are unlikely to return without renovation and changes.

The property has a very relaxed feel and the staff are vey attentive and helpful. It has the charm of an older country club. The wifi was excellent throughout the property. The dinner served on New Years Eve was excellent. The activities after dark are limited due to the threat of wildlife and we were advised not to leave our room without an guard escort. This was a bit disappointing, as the New Year festivities couldn't be held on the great lawn, and were in a small and dark area beside the banquet hall. However, it is a great place for a quiet weekend getaway, right down the road from the Crescent Island reserve.
