Buraha Zenoni Hotel and Resort

Buraha Zenoni Hotel and Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was a pleasant surprise. I was greeted outside, given a hot towel to wipe my hands, and then served cold Hibiscus tea while I waited for my room. When my room was ready, everything was explained to me in detail. I was given the wrong room, but when I brought it to their attention and showed them, it was immediately corrected. The room and bathroom were clean. Everyone was kind and gentle and aimed to please to ensure I had a great stay. Great value."

"It was altogether wonderful BUT we did not know that the camp, being inside the Lake Nakuru Park would mean paying a great deal more than the hotel rates - an extra £300, for the 2days. Your booking should warn people of this before they book the camp."
