Guesthouse vacation rentals in Great Rift Valley

Ross and Kyle are fantastic hosts. They have a beautiful guest house with huge rooms and all the amenities you would want. They very kindly picked us up from town on arrival and organised a day safari in Lake Nakuru National Park. They also organised for our washing to be done! A fantastic stay,would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Nakuru!

This is the second time I'm booking with Janet. She's an expert host and knows how to make guests feel comfortable. The place is also comfortable, clean and close to many shops and restaurants. Highly recommended!

Stayed for a week, enjoyed every minute of it. It was secure (gated community, gated compound), cleaning was done daily, Carolin, her family and crew were very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. About two miles from Ananas Mall which we enjoyed walking to. Easy access to public transportation. Would stay there if in the area again.

Ruth and Nigel were very accommodating of our small family. We had lots of privacy and they were very willing to share their garden and pool with us. This secluded haven in the Karen suburbs is a very peaceful and leafy respite to return to if one has a day of business in Nairobi or for the foreign tourist a wonderful, homely place to stop over and glimpse the high quality lifestyle of Karen, Nairobi. The dogs are super friendly and enjoyed our toddlers attention. The large bath was a big plus for our young children.

Such a beautiful location and garden with large trees and even horses. There is a coffee shop close by and a couple nature walks which was great for bird watching. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. This is my go to for Nairobi in the future.

I stayed at Jürgen's AirBnB for two and a half months, and I really enjoyed my time there! Jürgen is a very friendly and helpful host, the place is located in a calm and secure neighborhood, and is very well equipped for both short- and long-term stays. I will be back for sure!

Would really recommend Edith’s place, had a 3+ weeks great stay here! Edith is a hospitable superhost and efficient to communicate to via the App and in person as well. Edith’s place was as advertised; if you are not looking for elegance or fanciness, this place is for you. It is cozy, clean, relaxing, safe and easily accessible for a great practical stay in Nairobi. It is located in a safe and secure gated neighborhood. Far enough from the busyness and chaos of downtown Nairobi but close enough to get to downtown and around town by car ( found Uber/Bolt ridesharing services to be quite accessible and convenient although public transport is also available). Grocery shopping and good restaurants are within reach ( walkable distances or short car rides). Would highly recommend checking this place out and would be in my priority list next time.

Evans place was a fit stopover for our long family road trip. It was easy to find and access. Evans communicated well from the beginning. The home was large enough for my family of 7 - with four children sharing the double decker and one the single bed. Very quiet and serene. It felt safe. It is a short drive from the main road. There is a lot of parking space and grounds for children to play and roam around. A certain boy offered to wash our car for a small fee - that was helpful. There are chairs and sitting space on the grass to sit or talk and a balcony attached to the bungalow. Swings for children. The lighting of the house is very good. The showers work and the water is hot. Evan's dad was 5 star! What can be improved? Have a Smart TV since there is WiFi:the DStv was not working. Avail or ask guest to carry mosquito repellants. Remove construction material in the house (door frames) and have slightly comfortable sitting room chairs (longer stays). Overall good. We can return.

Having stayed in a number of cottages around the Green Park area, this was the pick of the lot. Excellent (large) cottage with superb company from Kiki, Otto and Monty (dogs). Great view back down to the lake.

We stayed in both houses for the weekend with a large group. Hosts Oscar and Sylvia were super flexible in accomoding additional friends that wanted to camp, even last minute. Beautiful surroundings of the greater Mara area with wildlife around. Chef Richard made great food for us exactly as we had asked for and was very timely. They went to great lengths providing our large group with an mess tent so we could enjoy the outdoors even during the rain :) The staff was all super friendly and everything was organised well. Communication with Oscar was very quick and helpful. Would most definitely reccomend to other groups wanting to explore the northern mara area. I wish we had more time to do some local activities. Hope to came back sometime soon! Philip

Mary was an amazing host! Our trip to Paje got pushed due to some flight issues, but Mary was so accommodating to our needs and made us feel at home during our stay. The property itself is beautiful and just steps to the beach! I highly recommend to anyone visiting Paje!

We absolutely loved staying at this beach house in Kumekucha! Fabulous decors and interiors are fusion of local and modern tastes. The house is beach front, in the nature in Tanzania, with the wind from the sea ventilating the rooms well. Upstairs balcony is perfect for just relaxing, away from the busy city life and totally switched off and it was a great therapeutical experience! Naomi was a great communicator throughout our stay and the local team on ground was also very welcoming and helpful. We would absolutely love to stay at this house and highly recommended. Thank you very much Naomi and all for taking a great care of us. Tomoko

This place was way beyond my imagination. My jaw dropped when I arrived, it had everything I needed and so well positioned - surrounded by beautiful gardens. I arrived late at night and when the morning arrived the sunrise, the colours of the sky and the view from my balcony almost made me cry. I'd read about the Nile River when I was a child and so being close to it created so much emotion inside of me. Fleur and the staff were so incredibly accommodating. Really lovely people. I had a truly magical time. Unforgettable. I can't wait to return January 2026! THANK YOU Fleur and all your beautiful staff members, I am so grateful. Until we meet again :) x

Great location if you need/want access to UN or US Embassy. Staff at house were very helpful and accommodating.

My fave place to stay when I have a few extra days in Nairobi!! So peaceful and functional and Lucy's team is so hospitable!!

We hade a great stay at Evans house, the view from the house is just Amazing and all the sounds from the hippos and the birds is fantastic! I can definitely recommend Evens house. There are always things that can be better but overall its an amazing location and its a nice house that can be even nicer with some refurbishment!

The location is in a very safe neighborhood in Nairobi. Easy access to UN and Village Market. Robert does a great job communicating and making your stay very comfortable. This is a perfect spot for single travelers or small families l.

We felt right at home with Jerry and his lovely family. The compound was beautiful, really well kept and the team there were friendly and helpful. There was so much space for my children to safely roam so we were able to relax. Really grateful for the laundry service as Uganda is very dusty. The apartment was comfortable and we had everything we needed. It was quiet and we slept really well. There is a high level of security around the clock so we felt very safe. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we were coming back.

Lisa was an excellent host. She has an absolutely beautiful space that has all the amenities to guarantee an amazing stay. We spent our new year’s holiday her villas with my friends and we were all blown away by her hospitality and we felt more of friend/family than guests. Dave was awesome with the kids, the rooftop enabled a great view of fireworks during new year’s celebration and the staff were extremely kind and ensured our rooms were clean and comfortable throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better find on Airbnb!

Paul and Winnie were phenomenal hosts. They went over and above to make this listing feel like home for us. The house was squeaky clean, the area is serene and homey. They gave me helpful suggestions for things I needed. They were so kind in providing little things that made a big difference, like a bit of ground coffee and tea, spices for cooking, drinking water, toiletries, etc. I felt right at home and would definitely go back!

Such a beautiful place! The pictures don’t do it justice: the house and terrace were much more spacious than we expected, and overall it all felt very luxurious and modern. All this in just a one-hour drive from Nairobi, amazing!

We spent a long weekend at Pam’s place in Karen, Nairobi. It was perfect for our needs to enjoy some down time in a quiet location, yet near some wonderful restaurants and malls. Would definitely recommend and, if back in Karen again, this will be our first port of call.

Amazing place! Would definitely staying again! Thanks for hosting us!

Had a great stay, it’s easily accessible, very secure and close to everything. Will definitely come back
