6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness
Welder homestay noch cottage trifft zu. Ein gewerblicher Beherbergungsbetrieb, der alles effizient abwickelt. Sauber, die zwei Kakerlaken waren wohl ein Ausreisser??? Frühstück ok. Sehr kleine Zimmer. Die Bilder sind sehr geschickt aufgenommen.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Pleasant stay near Kisumu.

The service was excellent. All staff were freindly and helpful. It's a bit removed from Kisumu center, but a great stop over on the way to Kakamega.

Nice and safe accomodation for budget travelers

Ok location, a bit remote. Google maps points the wrong way. Accomodation is basic ( e.g. room did not have a window) and a bit crampy. Very friendly and helpful staff.
