Olive Resort
Ranked in Best Luxury Hotels in Naivasha
About
The rooms are old and need renovation (especially the standard ones with black toilet stains), but the owner is friendly, the food is quite good, and some rooms have surprising lake views. You can hear highway traffic at night, and reports say it may be closed now.

Comfortable, clean and affordable. Courteous staff. Warm (not hot) shower. Nice heavy breakfast. Close to the CBD of Naivasha town. My room had a surprisingly nice view of the lake. Some time in the middle of the night, I could hear the heavy traffic on the highway. The room could use a reading desk/table. Update: The room I was given this time around had a reading table. However, the lighting is too poor for reading.

Nice place but the standard rooms were not as clean as the executive rooms. Both types of rooms were old; they need to be renovated. My toilet had black stains that made it uncomfortable to use. The owner was quite friendly and hospitable. The food was quite good.

We got a beautiful room on the 3rd floor which had a beautiful view of the lake what was exactly what we wanted, the stay would have been perfect but we had water issues but they finally got sorted, the dstv only picked 2 channels, which was a bore, as we had planned alot of activities and movies were part of the plan and they need to work on that, the pre-made white coffee was terrible I would rather they give you milk and coffee sachets instead. We had wifi issues bt I believe it was for that specific day as nets everywhere were acting up. The customer service was so good, especially from Moses. God bless his soul. In the morning my partner and I set a beautiful dining area on the balcony with the whole lake view. It was so awesome. They just need to work on a few things and they will be perfect

A nice get away resort with nice food and well priced affordable drinks. Clean and classy hotel rooms available. They also have a nice club with a dj and live music by the Calabash band playing an all round mix of music from pop, rock, soul and african music! These is the place to be!
