Meglio accordarsi prima o andare a fare la spesa con loro se si ha tempo. Una volta se ne è andata la luce ma dopo poco è ritornata, hanno attivato il gruppo elettrogeno probabilmente che faceva rumore dal mio appartamento. Dopo un' ora ha smesso. ##### MARIA GRAZIA Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kelly Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/Kilifi-Hotels-Kelly-Homes.h106081167.Hotel-Information) > > [Basecamp Masai Mara](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Basecamp-Masai-Mara.h11098013.Hotel-Information) > > [Cawaal Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Kisumu-Hotels-Cawaal-Hotels.h45038243.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Savanna Country Lodge And Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kisumu-Hotels-Le-Savanna-Country-Lodge-And-Hotel.h23467023.Hotel-Information) > > [VIP Hotel Madeya](https://www.expedia.ca/Siaya-Hotels-VIP-Hotel-Madeya.h44255871.Hotel-Information) > > [Aberdare Prestige & Royal Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanyuki-Hotels-Aberdare-Prestige-Royal-Cottages.h97042555.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardamom House](https://www.expedia.ca/Kibaoni-Hotels-Cardamom-House.h78317318.Hotel-Information) > > [AJ's The Ranch](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanyuki-Hotels-AJS-THE-RANCH.h50726954.Hotel-Information) > > [Jordan Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Mai-Mahiu-Hotels-JORDAN-GUEST-HOUSE.h50886060.Hotel-Information) > > [Taphe Guest House Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nakuru-Hotels-Taphe-Guest-House-Resort.h42309115.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL TAJI](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanyuki-Hotels-HOTEL-TAJI.h101508950.Hotel-Information) > > [Enchipai Campsite and Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Isinya-Hotels-Enchipai-Campsite-And-Cottages.h32999994.Hotel-Information) > > [Drimz Hotel Busia](https://www.expedia.ca/Busia-Hotels-DRIMZ-HOTEL-BUSIA.h48413434.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Lamu](https://www.expedia.ca/Lamu-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Anasa-Hotels-Experiences.h104416005.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Elementaita Manor ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gilgil-Hotels-Lake-Elementaita-Manor.h102282218.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanyuki-Hotels-Treetops.h11091551.Hotel-Information) > > [Kitui Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitui-Hotels-KITUI-RESORT-HOTEL.h47082449.Hotel-Information) > > [Cool Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Matuu-Hotels-Cool-Palace.h44332303.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Guest House Kericho](https://www.expedia.ca/Kericho-Hotels-Comfort-Guest-House-Kericho.h44500348.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfy Dhows Hotel, Kilifi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kilifi-Hotels-Comfy-Dhows-Hotel.h91667352.Hotel-Information) > > [Jamliz Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mwingi-Hotels-JAMLIZ-HOTEL.h48214087.Hotel-Information) > > [Chambai Safari Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Naivasha-Hotels-Chambai-Safari-Hotel.h75695628.Hotel-Information) > > [Lions Luxury Eco-Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Malindi-Hotels-Lions-Luxury-Eco-Resort-Spa.h91982335.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Tulia-Amboseli-Safari-Camp.h92850968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Funzi Keys](https://www.expedia.ca/Funzi-Island-Hotels-The-Funzi-Keys.h90342589.Hotel-Information) > > [Swara Acacia Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Athi-River-Hotels-Swara-Acacia-Lodge.h33670636.Hotel-Information) > > [Makuti Villas Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kilifi-Hotels-Makuti-Villas-Resort.h32592816.Hotel-Information) > > [Maina Highway Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Embu-Hotels-Maina-Highway-Hotel.h44460717.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping Kenya Mt.
