Wonderful place, wonderful staff, lovely and quiet, great food, very peaceful. Magical spot, and we saw plenty of elephants, water buck, impala and a hippo. We will definitely be back!

Great hotel with waterhole

Great hotel. Eat your meals while viewing the waterhole which is visited by an array of animals - loads of elephants, antelopes, Henry the hippo, zebra and birds. Try not to book via hotels.com or expedia as you may end up getting only bed and breakfast, whilst paying the price for full board. Very close to the entrance to Tsavo East national park.

We had an incredible stay. The hotel is staffed with wonderful people. Learn to say hello and thank you in Swahili, you will get beautiful smiles in exchange. Our room attendant kept our 2 rooms very clean. We saw a lot of elephants at the waterhole. We also saw giraffes one day and Hendry the hippo was there often too. The monkeys are adorable and the staff does a good job at keeping them far enough so they don’t steal food or come in the rooms. The food was good and the swimming was nice after a long day out and about! It was very easy to arrange a game drive. We hope to come back!

2/10 Poor

Here, one must differentiate: did I personally like it? No. Was the staff attentive and very friendly, the grounds and rooms clean, the pool nice, and the food good? Yes. I didn't like it because the hotel is mainly visited by Western safari tourists (aged 45-80) who have booked complete packages through various providers and are driven from lodge to lodge. This is a special clientele that I don't belong to, which is why I was shocked when I arrived. The next point was the prices charged. I had breakfast included and had to pay for lunch and dinner myself (27$ each meal, excluding drinks). A 3-hour safari in a van was supposed to cost 14k (€93) and in a jeep 24k (€160). On top of that, there was the general park entrance fee of $80 ($90 including the park's bank fees). I then booked a 6-hour safari with another provider for the same price. I wouldn't come back again; you couldn't see any spectacular animals at the waterhole. It's better to look for something simple in Voi and organize a driver from there.

8/10 Very good

We were there two nights. Location: good, just be the park with view of a water hole. Very nice Venue: hotel was clean, spacious. Pool areas were nice: a smaller out with view to the park and a larger one besides a restaurant. Nice overall. Room: nice view out towards the park. Clean and wifi working. No AC though but it worked out fine with opening the window slides at night with the cool air coming in (yes they maybe mosquito net) Now to the bad part: the food. It simply wasn’t good. We tried the buffé that cost 35 (!) USD. It hade some selection but unfortunately it was not worth that money at all. Then we took the lunch box for the game drive for 30 (!) dollars. That was much worse still. Dry Chicken and dry bread with some fruits etc. Simply not acceptable, which I told the staff. The pizza-restaurant had an acceptable pizza and hamburger, but not great. Better to take that option though since it’s Much cheaper than the buffé. Service: very nice, kind and service minded staff. Game drive: nice park and game drive. Our driver Ruben was nice and helpful. We saw lions, elephants and almost everything else except Leopard and buffalo. All in all good, but the food situation at the place degrades the overall rating.

Overall, this is a superb accommodation. Only issue was the management of the access of mosquitoes into the rooms.

10/10 Exceptional

A very nice property with stunning natural scenes. We saw elephants every evening because there's a waterhole in front of the dinning area. Staff are friendly and attentive. Considering its rate is much lower than those accommodations inside of Tsavo but still easily to access to the largest national park in Kenya, it's a very cost-effective stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing property adjacent to National Park. Elephants come from National Park to (artificially) built fresh water pond to drink and bathe and display their majesty right in front of the guests having a drink. After that, in the late evening, they vanish back into the wild. Very smart concept because one can observe that they even prefer the fresh water outlet for drinking vs the water hole for bathing. The property has everything one can think of, nice room, pleasant Kenyan hospitality and good food.

Vi hadde det helt fantastisk på Voi Wildlife Lodge! De ansatte var så imøtekommende og hyggelig, maten var veldig god, og stedet i seg selv var helt magisk! Vi var veldig heldige og fikk se mange forskjellige dyr som elefanter, zebra, gazeller, aprkatter. Veldig pent og ordnet sted! Vi bestilte også safari via hotellet og det var en 10/10 opplevelse! Anbefaler virkelig å dra hit!

The lodge is well built and has beautiful surroundings. You get to see some wild animals as you eat or relax in their common areas. They have all the amenities you would need on a safari trip.

2/10 Poor

From start to finish, a disaster. The staff were unhelpful and could not really give any details. When I checked in I was told I had full board, so we reluctantly tried the buffet based on the understanding we had already paid for it so why not, well I got food poisoning which ruined the rest of the trip! Also after being told we had full board we were then presented with a bill for 2 dinners, which by the way were absolute garbage! When I checked out, the extremely rude manager who refused to give his name said we would not be allowed to leave the property unless we paid for chits which I had not signed, so basically threatened to kidnap us! Avoid this property at all costs, it’s a dump, the food is garbage, and they will threaten to kidnap you if you don’t pay for items you never signed for.

Rooms are in need of a refurb, shower was poor and peeling paintwork I was also annoyed to see that i was being charged in USD for meals, using the exchange rate they had i was being over charged for each meal by 300Ksh, for 3 people over 4 days this is not acceptable considering i am a Kenyan Resident
