Cottages in Meru County

"I loved the hotel and some of the best and most attentive service anywhere I've ever stayed. The signposting to the camp needs drastic improvement (my taxi got lost which I understood) and the road to get there is dreadful. The accommodation is fabulous and I slept so well. The hotel has an Indian owner and most of the guests were Indian, either from India or local. The way they spoke to and disrespectfully treated the staff was shocking and entirely unacceptable. There needs to be a sign reminding the guests to treat the very fine staff with the respect they deserve or be asked to leave. "

"We really enjoyed our stay at Alba. The staff were very helpful and the service was excellent. The meals were delicious. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Meru."

"The staff are very helpful and pleasant. The lodge is in a quiet location and the rooms are quite spacious. A Great value lodge for safari. "

"My family and friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fairmount Mount Kenya Safari. On our next visit to Kenya we will stay longer than 2 nights so we can spend more time enjoying the hotel."

"Very good quality new facilities. Limited amount of secure parking. Good communication. Breakfast adequate. "

"Very well run and managed property with extremely friendly staff and owners"

"Value for money. Only negative point was that food took a very long time to arrive after ordering. "

"I've done many safaris throughout Kenya, but we've come back here several times. The accommodations are wonderful, but the staff are over the top amazing! They catered to us like a 6 star resort! This park has the most plentiful animals, and we had some absolutely amazing game drives!"

"The Sarova Corp and Expedia, Posted that we had to pay $140 US upon arrival by credit card, NOT CASH. At the gate to the Park, we were told that we had to pay $140 per day in cash for our stay at hotel in Park. Including day of our arrival after Park hours! We had no US dollars in cash, so they let us go to hotel to get money. The Shaba lodge had no dollars and could not give cash of any kind for credit card withdraw. So we spent the second day negotiating and reception called a bank in distant village to see if they would let us use their atm to get $600 USA in Kenya Shillings. We spent day getting Shillings going twice on a dangerous gully filled dirt track for 10 kilometers! Not a road! Your Expedia Insurance with Allianz would not cover the Money lost by theft, as it did not fit in trip interruption guidelines. I said it was theft by misrepresentation but they did not listen. They sent me a refusal. Thus more time and money wasted. "
