Bethel Xperience Homestay

Such an amazing accommodating family, would definitely love to go back. The view of the park, having the opportunity to see the lion,giraffe, and wildlife from the room. Its was wonderful view to wake up to.

Bethel was a mixed bag of experiences. It was difficult to find - especially at night. Our driver called Enoch several times and Enoch was responsive, and gave directions, however the roads surrounding the place had potholes and huge cracks. On arriving, a guard brought us up and on knocking the door, no one opened it. We waited 20 minutes at night, despite the owner knowing we were on the way. After the guard had disappeared in all that time, presumably to find someone to let us in, someone finally opened the door after all that knocking. I didn't get his name, but he wasn't Enoch and wasn't very communicative. The apartment was as pictured; seemed to have three or four rooms (we occupied the two with connecting bathrooms). Bedrooms were okay, mattress was comfortable but pillows were a bit old and lumpy. Bathrooms were reasonably clean, but only one towel was provided per bathroom (2 towels between 4 travelers). Water pressure was good in one bathroom and poor in the other, and while the hot water was responsive, there was no clear way of controlling the water temperature as there was only one tap. There were also no bins in the bathroom. Advertised to come with bottled water and breakfast, but it was not provided. The stove and kettle did not work, we were unable to boil water. WiFi worked reasonably well, dropped occasionally. The apartment is in a residential area and run most likely as a homestay. Unfortunately our experience was less than ideal.

Convenient location not far from the airport. Otherwise secluded and not in a good area. Need to improve on service.

This was a very nice place to stay. The room was clean, well appointed, and the adjoining private bathroom was spacious, clean and very nice. The manager was very helpful and did all he could to make our 3 night stay a good experience. This included cooking us breakfast and arranging transportation to the airport. However, one must realize that this is not a traditional motel room. Our room was a bedroom with double bed and private bathroom that was part of a four bedroom apartment. There is a common sitting area with TV and a shared apartment kitchen with a full size refrigerator, range, microwave, sink and so forth. There is no food unless you bring some including no vending machines available as it is in a condominium building. There is good off-street, secured parking, and an elevator to take you to your room. There are no restaurants in the compound so you must walk or drive to nearby locations. Food delivery is available. With all that taken into account this is a good value and a comfortable, quiet place to stay. Be sure to read and follow directions and contact the property 24 hours before your stay. Also it is located inside Kings Millennium Condominiums, not knowing this confused us when we were looking for the property.

My dream trip turned into a nightmare. I was promised a pick up from the airport but in arrival there was noone to pick me up. I spent 30 minutes walking back and forth checking on all the waiting drivers in vain. When I decided to take another taxi, none is the drivers knew the place even after I showed them the Google map. They only the general neighborhood but not the house. Eventually I had no choice but to take a taxi and check in on a hotel in Nairobi city. The following day when I wrote to the proprietor about my situation he insisted that his driver was at the airport but could not find me. In short it was my fault.
