The pool area was very enjoyable. I was surprised about the quality of food provided, it wasn't very good. Staff were friendly but front staff was not helpful. I had booked a villa but got a standard room instead and their explanation wasn't very good but because I was there for a wedding, I didn't complain too much. I heard later that they hadn't enough villas for the bookings but I wasn't offered any compensation. ##### Paula Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcel May 1, 2024 ##### Marcel Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne Jul 9, 2023 ##### Suzanne Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily Jan 3, 2023 ##### Emily ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Nov 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing views, great food, and friendly staff.

It’s an odd time for travel with the pandemic continuing but we had not been able to leave our country for almost a year and needed a getaway. The GRVL was a refreshing stop with kind staff who wanted to make our stay the best it could be. We did have one issue at one evening buffet and though resolved, I was surprised our drinks were not comped to compensate for the long wait and inconvenience. The buffet food was surprisingly good Although somewhat repetitious, though for a 2 night stay we were fine. Had we stayed longer, we would have needed more variety. The rooms are a little small but with an attractive layout and very comfortable beds. I would recommend a stay here for a cool getaway from Nairobi with a visit to Hell’s Gate National Park or Crescent Island nearby. ##### Tamara Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nicola Mar 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely spot Beautiful and relaxing stay ##### nicola Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lilian Jan 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The experience was amazing, we had plenty of activities and the environment was fantastic.

The hotel villas were clean and cosy. Just a few small repairs need to be made but nothing major. The food was great! Loved their breakfasts. Overall, we had a great time. Will definitely visit again. ##### Diane Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erika Aug 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Naivasha Resort for Family or Business! This was my first visit to Naivasha and I wish I had been able to stay longer, thanks to the Great Rift Valley Lodge! The rooms, comfort, and cleanliness are top notch, and the staff are excellent, especially Valentine at Guest Services & Esther in the Spa. Considering the price, some of the quality of the food could improve, but the buffet gives a wide range of options. The grounds are beautiful, and we loved the fireplaces. If you don’t have a car, you will need to budget for extra taxis since there is nothing in walking distance around the resort — but for my family, this is what we wanted most—a quiet, clean place where we didn’t have to leave. Next time we look forward to the star gazing walk and riding horses! We will return in the future! ##### Erika Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 24, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic hotel and golf course This hotel is very convenient to play golf with a fantastic course.

Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience as when I was a conference guest. The rooms and location are lovely. The challenge was that GVR was extremely busy with 2 large groups (250+ people); thus the usual rooms and activity areas were not readily available. The biggest issue was food; I was put a dining area usually reserved for members. We did not get our full board lunches (I was offered the buffet for the school group which I did not accept) and the next day, I was not allowed to use that lunch nor order a la cart for an extra cost for my 6 year old child when I inquired. She had potato crisps and cheese sitting outside while we waited for transport. Then several individuals commented that she looked hungry and that I should feed her "properly." I positively confirmed that I had been told I could not order a la cart at reception. Then I cried. I was made to feel so bad despite being the booker and payer of the room, but especially because I was criticized by the staff about being a mother (on international women's day no less) when it was the hotel's errors. 7 business days after check out the hotel has never contacted me. ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Njuguna Dec 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fairly good. Should improve on staff quality at dining and room service and reception. ##### Njuguna Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary Oct 18, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort The quality of food on the a la carte menu needs improvement. Had no hot water for a night and a morning. ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ingrid Jan 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Loved it Loved my stay here. Staff are friendly, room is comfortable. Food is delicious. Would definitely stay here again. If anyone has something bad to say about this lodge, it reflects their attitude, not the hotel. ##### ingrid Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andy Huang, Qatar Apr 9, 2017 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Hotel Front Office are full of Sharks & Conartists Tried to charge me the boat trip the Naivasha lake like 3 times the going rate. Lied through his teeth that the boat has not other passengers and I have to pay for whole boat. Nice facilities if only managed closer to the international rates they are charging. The quality of food and cooking are far far from acceptable standards. Local fruits need great effort to appreciate but the vegetables from the hotel organic farm was a treasure. ##### Andy Huang ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 1, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful setting but views may vary The property is large and beautiful with a lovely setting, and the room very comfortable. Food had a decent variety. However, I was very disappointed to find my room had no view whatsoever and the advertised "balcony" was just a tiny patio/entrance way at the door looking out at some grass. On the website of the hotel they are selling the view and it appears that all rooms have views - it's not the case. Also, weirdly enough, the rest of the property doesn't have views either - only from a few tables at one of the two restaurants can you see through the trees to the mountains and lake. Property could be improved immensely with a terrace with views somewhere where drinks or snacks are served, some small viewing platforms integrated into the trees around the walking/jogging trails, and more accurate descriptions of rooms on their website and hotel consolidator sites. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Dec 30, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### David ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael Nov 2, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Rustic luxury The hotel is luxurious for Kenya - but in a rustic way. Rooms are stylishly furnished and sufficiently spacious, with fantastic views across the surrounding land and lake. The relaxing bar area benefits from a beautiful log fire which is well-stocked in the evening. On our most recent stay, out-of-hours food service was extremely slow, but this is unusual in my experience. ##### michael ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Days Inn by Wyndham Sudbury & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Northbury-Hotel-And-Conference-Centre.h12361.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Anaheim](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels.d5921.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d4138-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h1091208.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Coral Spring - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Ocean-Coral-Spring-Resort-All-Inclusive.h37135707.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Mara Safari Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fairmont-Mara-Safari-Club.h1544563.Hotel-Information) > > [Jamliz Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mwingi-Hotels-JAMLIZ-HOTEL.h48214087.Hotel-Information) > > [Salt Lick Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Taita-Hills-Hotels-Salt-Lick-Safari-Lodge.h1737570.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Muskoka Lakes](https://www.expedia.ca/Muskoka-Lakes-Hotels.d553248635740523284.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ashnil Mara Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Ashnil-Mara-Camp.h12748836.Hotel-Information) > > [Kibo Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Kibo-Safari-Camp.h14826564.Hotel-Information) > > [Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Westin-Trillium-House.h1357075.Hotel-Information) > > [Go Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Moncton-Hotels-GoMotelca.h6762697.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Miami Beach - Oceanfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Miami-Beach-Oceanfront.h41424.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Kelowna-Kelowna-Hotels.0-n3000662835-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Amboseli-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h978634.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Bangkok (BKK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/bkk/calgary-to-bangkok) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yeg/montreal-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Grande Prairie (YQU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/yqu/regina-to-grande-prairie) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sin/vancouver-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Lapu-Lapu (CEB) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ceb/yul/cebu-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yyt/halifax-to-st-johns) > > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Venice (VCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/vce/paris-to-venice) ### General > [Visit Larry's River](https://www.expedia.ca/Larrys-River.dx6342707)
