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!

Great place. A few small niggles, like broken light bulbs, at first but very quickly and efficiently sorted

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!

Really nice, private little spot. The garden is beautiful and very peaceful. Safari, the caretaker, is great and makes you feel at home. It’s perfectly located with easy access to food, nightlife, and the city, but it makes you feel like you’re far away from the Kampala hustle and bustle. I’d stay again for sure :)

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.

A wonderful month staying at this cottage in a peaceful and beautiful part of Karen. Zippora, Peter, Timothy and all the other workers around the property were so friendly and helpful. Thank you, Edita, for all that was done to make my stay so enjoyable! I’ll be back!

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.

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.

Staying at Letty’s place was lovely, nested in the garden of her beautiful house. It’s located in a green residential area, quiet but very central. Letty is a great host, super recommended

Excellent place by excellent humans! Tranquillity redefined.

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!

Good value in a convenient place, I had a lovely stay at Victor's

My friends and I really loved it here. Jane thought of just about every comfort she could provide making it a perfect getaway. The staff were superb as well, Chris made the most delicious meals! I’d definitely stay here again!

Perfect little house with great toys for my son.

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
