The place can be cold & the management can improve by providing a kettle for warm water and/or heater.

The location is quiet & good place for family reunion/bonding. Big rooms & nice spacing in between. Green environment for those who love nature. Places for kids visit within short drives from the resort i.e KWS elementaita sanctuary

We can Not say because we liked everything and everyone there.

We really loved the Jacaranda Lodge. The staff there is so Great, the Cook was sensitive and really good, he came every night to ask if everything was okay, we got. Special Food because we are vegeterians, they made everything very friendly and helpful and tasty. The Guide Joseph was amazing! The Garden and whole Area is very beautiful!

The pool was not working and we were really looking forward to enjoying some time there.

We enjoyed the hotel...it is really green and beautiful. The food is also good. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed the nature walk to the lake.

It is a peaceful place to relax and unwind. Joseph took us on a walk down to the lake front where we saw a wide variety of birds. The food was good and, as there were few guest, served quickly. Lovely getaway from Nairobi

The laundry was closed. They went out of their way to ensure our clothes were pressed. Really dedicated people.

I recommend they offer traditional Kenyan food choices along with what they are already serving. The rooms are nice, the chairs could be a bit bigger and better cushioned as a suggestion.

the location and views are quite good, and it is nice and quiet. The grounds are well done and lots of birds around the grounds. The service was very good, and the staff were very attentive. Staff were generous with their time, took us on a bird watching tour down by the lake and a 4 hour hike to a local 200 meter hill with great views of Elementaita and surrounding areas.

The bathroom in the room needs to be upgraded. The water was lukewarm and water sort of trickled....the pressure may have been too low or is it the design of the shower. The bath towels are too old! Limited food variety at dinner and breakfast.

The quietness of the place, room was comfortable.

Other reviews say the property is dated. It is, but perfectly functional. You need to be realistic with the location and the price you are paying. I found some of the dated features charming.

The rooms are clean and spacious and the beds are very comfortable. It was so peaceful, I slept so well that I stayed an extra night. The staff are extra attentive and want to make sure you are having a nice time. The location is lovely, you can see wildlife from the terrace. It’s very reasonably priced.

The food quality was uneven - very good a la carte lunch and dinner, but breakfast was not as good.

Stunning location, beautiful grounds, friendly staff. A very knowledgeable staff member took us on a nature walk down to the lake and told us all about the birds, plants and geological history of the area. The beds were comfortable.

The standard is a bit limit, but finally ok. Some investments are needed, that would provide more business as well, eventually.

The place has a interesting history, an old farm house of early European settlers. The farmhouse has kept its old charm, and the entire set-up is a bit "Seventies Style". It is very well placed, to make a little drive to Lake Elementaita, where, when we were there, plenty of flamingos can be found crowning the lake shores. The beauty of the Rift Valley Lakes. The pool was very well maintained. The entire structure could benefit from a little lift-up, but the charm should be maintained. Could even be improved by people who have a sense for that old style.

It would be nice to have a proper shower cubicle instead of standing in the bath tab or provide an antislip bath mat to be used in the shower.

The staff were very friendly. I loved the food and the portions. Went on a weekday, so I got the peace and quiet time needed before it got busy over the weekend. The pool was constantly kept clean.

The place needs a serious uplift. The gardens around are great but all infrastructure looks very outdated. Especially the reception area looks quite disappointing.

The staff were great, the pool is refreshing on a nice hot day and its only a short drive to the Lake. The location is great. The views from the dining area are stunning.

Great pool and view. Perfect for a quiet getaway

The food was amazing but offering something to drink outside of the normal tea and coffee during lunch & dinner would have been great.

The staff were amazing, right from Patrick at reception to Geoffrey & Timothy who served us during our stay there. The lodge was also very quiet which brought a much needed escape from the noisy city life. The lodge also fulfilled a request that I made during booking which helped with the birthday surprise that I was organising!

It looked that the resort has just opened up after a long time closure.

It's a nice resort for someone who wants quiet and peace. Staff were very helpful and accommodating in everything. Overall a nice place. Kids really enjoyed the swimming pool.
