Lukenya Getaway
8.9 (17 reviews)

Lukenya Getaway ★★★

📍 Athi River, Along Daystar Road, Athi River

"We visited this place for a one night stay for 4 adults and asked for adjacent rooms, which they graciously offered us. Check in was a breeze and (I forget his name) was so kind and very inviting. The bedrooms were very clean and spacious, adequately stocked with water, tea, coffee, electric kettle, tv, spacious closet, and a sitting area with comfy chairs. The shower had the best and relaxing hot water, the beds were so comfortable and they each had mosquito nets. We had dinner on our arrival, delicious portions of various Kenyan food, yum! Breakfast was just as scrumptious, with all the staff happy to serve and help. There were other groups of people in the facility for team building meetings but we never felt out of place nor did it feel crowded. The grounds were well kept, clean, spacious, peaceful river nearby, wild animals(gazelles, birds, monkeys) to enjoy, don’t forget the beautiful male ostrich and emus. The pool was inviting but we did not swim due to time constraints. We would definitely come back for a longer stay to enjoy the food, scenery and all round Kenyan hospitality at its finest."

Greenpark Sundowner ★★★

📍 Greenpark Estate, Mombasa Road, Stoney Athi, Athi River

"We visited the place and had talked to somebody earlier and told us there are rooms and food. After getting there, no food super tired from a long journey. The receptionist was super rude( poor customer service). I think a client should be given options. Despite me being a loyal client she didn't care. Of course am not visiting the place anytime."

Swara Acacia Lodge

Swara Acacia Lodge ★★★

📍 Swara Acacia Lodge, Athi River

"This hotel has a lot of potential, but the service really needs significant improvement. We arrived on Monday, which unfortunately seemed to be a day when all the good service was off-duty. There was no bartender available, which meant lost revenue for the hotel, and the bar was noticeably understocked—surprising given that guests were expected. Restaurant service was slow and appeared untrained. To make matters worse, I was served an overcooked burger (I forgot to take a photo). To their credit, they did take it back and redo it. The showers are also in need of a serious upgrade. The only positive experiences were with the receptionist (whose name I unfortunately can’t remember) and Dhilon, who was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Aside from them, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, as there are many other options at the same price point that offer much better quality and service."

Lukenya Getaway ★★★
"I travelled to this hotel as a solo female traveller to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately my experience was disappointing. Before arriving, I called the reception for directions and explained that due to Nairobi traffic I might arrive after the stated 10:00 p.m. dining closing time. I politely asked if they could keep some food for me. The receptionist was dismissive, repeatedly hung up the phone during our conversation, and only agreed after I had to repeatedly plead with him. When I finally arrived, I discovered that the dining area was actually still open and continued operating well past 10:00 p.m. This made it clear that my request could easily have been accommodated and left me feeling genuinely unwelcome. The first thing the receptionist asked for upon my arrival was payment, without so much as a welcome or any acknowledgment that I had just completed a long journey. As a solo female traveller, I felt I was treated differently and did not feel valued as a guest. I had also informed the hotel in advance about my food allergies, but these were not taken into consideration, which was both disappointing and concerning. On a positive note, the hotel itself is beautiful, the bed was very comfortable, and the receptionist who took over later the next day was professional, welcoming, and courteous. Sadly, the poor customer service at the start of my stay overshadowed what was meant to be a special birthday celebration. I would not return based on this experience. I hope the management invests in customer service training, particularly on treating all guests, including solo female travelers ,with courtesy, respect, and professionalism."

"We decided to go for new year’s lunch (a family of six) and were pleasantly surprised by the serene and beautiful environment. However, the service from the waiters was very poor. Initially we were seated in the sofas (waiting area) but were not told whether they were preparing a table or… after 15 minutes I went to talk to the supervisor to find out what was going on. She promised to give me an update in 5 minutes. After another 15 minutes (now 30 minutes) without anyone coming over I again went to ask what was happening. At that time we were assigned a waiter (after 30 minutes) he came and took our orders and found us a table. We waited for 2.5 hours before our entrees were served! The main meal came about 20 minutes after that. To make matters worse I found a fly in my salad - see picture! During the 3 hours wait I googled Trip Advisor and found a number of reviews about many flies - I saw many flies around the kitchen area. On reporting the fly and long wait to the supervisor she mumbled something about being pulled to some other duties… no real apology… SMH. At the end of the ordeal I was charged the full amount for the food - no offer to waive one dish to amend for the poor service as any decent restaurant would have offered. The one redeeming aspect was the waiter we had, Nicholas Nduta, who apologized profusely and did his best. The waiters need training on communicating with customers - good communication and updates would have turned this negative experience to a positive one. "

"Excellent food though the variety was limited. You can do better. Rooms were very horrible. No hot water despite many calls to reception. The staff are not transparent to admit they water heating system is faulty. Customer service is average. Not value for money"
