I recently had the pleasure of staying at Somerset Gardens, and I can't say enough about how incredible Henrietta and Ruth are as hosts! From the moment me and my team arrived, they made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. Henrietta’s welcoming nature and thoughtful recommendations helped us settle in, while Ruth’s kindness and efficiency made the entire experience feel seamless. Their personal touches throughout the stay truly made it special—whether it was a delicious homemade treat (very tasty samosas and chai) or an insightful local tip, they went above and beyond to ensure I had a comfortable, memorable time. If you're looking for a place where you’re treated like family, Somerset Gardens with Henrietta and Ruth is the perfect choice!

I booked into this hotel for my four-week stay in Korando. My expectations were exceeded. Quiet location, very friendly and hardworking staff, very good value for money, WiFi available, clean pool and garden area. The rooms are also in top condition with comfortable large beds, TV, shower and toilet. The entire hotel staff goes to great lengths to ensure that guests feel comfortable. For Europeans who are looking for a comfortable hotel near Kisumu, the Somerset Gardens Resort is the first choice.

Small piece of heaven. This place is just serene. Very quiet and the staff is very friendly. Their food is also amazing and the pool offers a cool place to relax away from the hot kisumu sun.
