Positive: A pleasant setting with a helpful and friendly host.
Negative: From inside the room, it was very loud when people were just outside, because of the thin door and possibly the gap at the bottom. Still, for a single day, it wasn’t a big deal.

Positive: The home like vibe of this place was everything . I wish we had more time to spend in Naivasha. We never tried the experience of staying in a guest house before , and it was such a delight to join other families on a big table for yummy food and great warm vibes. My kids loved playing with Gucci and snoopy. Chef young's list of orders and Mr. Patrick was very attentive and a great host.
Negative: I wish we had one more bed since we had to use the sofa to fit all four of us , but it wasn't too bad

Positive: Placed inside a lush and green compound, Merinja is a cosy hideaway with great service and a super helpful and attentive host. Organising a taxi ride or visit of a flower farm was done in a few minutes. The chef is a local celebrity on TV cooking shows. Some of the rooms have high ceilings with wooden plates, inviting balconies, furniture made by a local artisan, very solid beds.
Negative: That I didn't have time to stay longer in Naivasha and explore the natural beauty of the lake.
Summary: Extremely helpful & friendly host, highly original rooms

Positive: Staying at Merinja was like staying in a Kenyan home's loving embrace. What they offer there is not only comfort but an entire cultural experience. Set very close to the Lake Naivasha, Merinja is a great house tucked away in well manicured gardens, big rooms, plush beds, well lit and amazing water pressure. Patrick is such a welcoming and wonderful host who is happy to share details and help out in any way possible. You have a chef who is a tv personality and a bright cherry concierge who helps out with everything. For me this felt like a boutique hotel experience. This is for people who love to immerse themselves in culture and really try to understand a place. Naivasha has sooo much to do, you can do a lake cruise to watch the animals, you can visit a flower farm, the owner is happy to arrange. There are numerous restaurants and resorts that you can visit. Most importantly Merinja offers a cultural programme, where you can visit a local market, learn to cook local food, sing, dance and all sorts. I booked one night as a stopover on my journey to the Mara and I majorly regretted not spending more time. The price offered such value for money. Dinner was a huge local spread, there was local goat, local chicken, omg everything was so fresh and delicious. I really rate this place highly and cannot wait to revisit. There are communal tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryer and an iron and ironing board and they also kindly stored stuff for us in their fridge. Patrick even offered accomodation to my driver. He was very communicative on whatsapp and payment was easy. You guys also need to try Chef Young's mandazi, it is pretty epic. Thanks to Patrick and the entire team for an amazing stay, we cannot wait to visit again..
Negative: Everything was superb
Summary: Spend a few days in Naivasha here

Positive: Cozy and beautiful - much more beautiful than the photos. Two cute, sweet dogs. Kind and insanely attentive staff. There are so many small details that show you how much they care about their guests from having fresh cold and hot drinking water on every floor, multiple slippers, plenty of hot water for showers, and the best food you’ve ever had. Chef Young is reason to come alone. All of the additional services like laundry and dinner are fairly priced and top tier service. It feels like a luxury experience and they truly make you feel like part of the family. There’s no other place like it!
Negative: Nothing
