Very nice residence in a very quite area Staff are service oriented but the rule led by the manager does not leave much room for extra service. Nothing is included in the price, no even a bottle of water (but the day of arrival) Cash payment in USD is accepted only High price for a relatively poor performance. More

I use this as my base when working in Nairobi. It's in the north of the city so handy for the UN HQ, embassies, etc, but not if you want the national parks as most of the close ones are south, east or west and traffic congestion can be very bad here. There are only a few rooms, most have... More

I spent 3 nights at this gem of a place with my 6 year old son and it was fabulous! Of course being first time in Kenya added to the charm. Staff not overly friendly but courteous and professional. Accomodation was clean, bright and airy. The food was delicious and the grounds secure and immaculate. This is my Nairobi secret,... More

Gigiri homestead was a decent place to stay for the few nights we were there. It's clean. We stayed in the cheapest room, and it was fine. Communication from the staff pre-arrival was great, and very prompt. It's a good place to stay if you need to be in the area where it's located. There were a few things that... More

Gigiri Homestead is like staying in someones well-kept and nicely decorated house. It is comfortable and you are well looked after. The breakfast is lovely (especially the fruit pancakes that they're happy to make for you) and the dinner certainly looked and smelled delicious even though i didn't have a chance to try it. The garden is large and peaceful... More

We had the pleasure of staying at Gigiri Homestead and found it to be a wonderful place where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful home and yard (patio & gardens) while exploring Nairobi. Martha, our host, and the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The room was private and clean and the bed was very comfortable. A perfect oasis... More

I had the pleasure of staying 6 nights at the Homestead. It is in a very quiet area of Gigiri and the grounds and house are very secure. Only a hop skip and a jump from both the UN and diplomatic quater, with the Village Market close by for all your basic needs. I can not fault the staff and... More

The location is quiet and secure but easy walking distance to amenities at the Village Market. The staff is consistently helpful. The food is genuinely "home cooked" and great. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. A great place to return to after a day of work in the field. An added bonus: if you are curious about the life of... More

no question: this is a good place to relax. Friendly staff ( but we never saw the boss, Martha, who only interacted with us for email-bookings.) Breakfasts are fine, diner on order was average (curry) - just to be a bit criticising... some accessories in bathroom start to age - neighbours dogs are a pain because environment is so quiet...

Gigiri Homestead is a lovely home in a quiet, residential area near the main United Nations complex in Nairobi and near many NGOs, The rooms are spacious and clean and the house is nicely decorated. But the highlight of the stay are the owners and staff. They are pleasant and accommodating and even offered to let me store some of... More
