Poor

They or booking.com should make it known of the intermittent power supply and lack of AC.

Bread was not warm or taste fresh made. the other options were run of the mill. Freshly made omelette was the only good one.

Frequent power cuts citing generator supply of power. the tents were hot without ventilation and portable fan on request only. Without power the fan was useless. it was unbearably hot during 12 noon- 4 PM, no power. After 4 pm, every one goes out on the game drive. Hot water supply too is timed, if you miss that window you have to settle for a luke warm water. One important issue that disappointed me is - putting in me a tent far away from the river bank even though I put in a request at time of booking for a tent on the river bank. It was not honored. I was given a tent far away from the river bank, and irony is they did have unoccupied tents on the river bank.

Pleasant

it was nice. but not worth the money.

location and staff were excellent.

generally quite dirty. ants were everywhere. pool was really murky. didnt see anyone clean it the whole time we were there. double bed was tiny and really needed a mosquito net as we got bitten so much overnight.

Really loved the stay. The camp is in Buffalo Springs not Samburu but this was no problem - we had two days self drive safari in Buffalo Springs and Shaba and saw Lion, Cheetah and Leopard with the help of a ranger which Ashnil organised. Food and service was great. Great value for money.

Very good

I like its not a buffet so everything is bought out on request and very happy to get more if wanted.

The bed covers didnt cover the whole bed partly because the bed was so large would have been better to have two smaller covers than one that didnt reach.

Bad

Poor and unprofessional management - Beware of Manager Daniel if you are a tourist

I liked the scenery and the room. We were able to spot a lot of elephants, which was very nice.

Extremely unprofessional manager named Daniel. I am a regular customer of booking.com and have stayed in multiple locations over the past few years but have never come across such unprofessional behavior from a manager. He asked us to pay the base fare although booking.com gave me a 10% discount. He didn't move an inch to fix this issue and held us captive until we payed the full amount. We were delayed by 1 hour and missed our next appointment at an elephant orphanage due to his negligence and lackadaisical attitude. I would like booking.com's team to escalate this with Ashnil's senior staff so that other customers don't face such issues in the future. Also. I request booking.com to refund the discount amount.

Great location, food, staff and surroundings - very chilled

Great location on the rivers edge. Navigating to property was straight forward. Food served to table and not a buffet (which was a pleasant change) Pool superb

Not so keen on baboons - and there was plenty of them, but staff always around to chase them ofd
