War alles super, aber den Preis finde ich nicht gerechtfertigt, das ist zu teuer.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We were in Kakamega for work and during the weekend we moved to Rondo. This is a lovely and peaceful place, with an enchanting park were it is possible to see monkeys and listen to the songs of a variety of birds. We appreciated a lot the meals (I've asked for vegetarian meals and they was excellent) and the tea with a delicious piece of cake in the afternoons, taken directly to our small but beautiful cottage, despite the rain.
