"This property is located up a steep rocky/dirt road. Once you get there, the view of Homa Bay is wonderful! We were disappointed that in their listing it stated that they had Wi-Fi all over the property. In reality, there wasn't Wi-Fi anywhere. As it turned out there really wasn't Wi-Fi anywhere in Homa Bay. Our room was quite noisy as the outdoor kitchen was below our window. There was banging and activity going on day and night. Despite all of this, the staff was wonderful! They were helpful...

"Basically nothing described online is real. No Wifi ever there, not 19m². Management horrible, disturbing me day and even night in a rude manner Photos either old or fake. Took 45 min to get my room as rooms had toilets that didn't flush or shower without water. Very noisy are with late night nightclubs over the street, followed by early morning loud church... The rooms are run down. All mosquito nets had huge visible holes. Just avoid. "

"Everything was off. I booked online but when I got there there was no room reserved for me. They improvised a smaller room than what I had paid for without any remorse. The front desk didn't even try to hide it that they hadn't booked a room for me. The room had a stench from the shower drainage system, and another guest at my arrival was complaining of the same. All the time I was there, I showered cold water and the place is really cold. Dinner was practically for fighting, with orders taking...
