Sweet Lake Resort
Ranked in Best Luxury Hotels in Naivasha
About
No-nonsense quarters in an unpretentious hotel offering breakfast, a restaurant & a bar.
Staff are genuinely kind and accommodating, even if facilities are dated. The lake setting is peaceful. Good for a quiet getaway, not a luxury escape.

We went here during the new years celebrations. What i liked most is the fact that they have various games within the compound. I.e pool table, volleyball pitch and a football pitch. They also have a swimming pool.

The service was great. But kindly you need to do something about the rooms...the wash rooms to be specific....Aslo address the issues of not having water in those rooms...it's very uncouth. Thanks

We stayed at sweet lake resort for 1 night. The people who work at this facility are very kind and accommodating and this overall review has nothing to do with them. the employees were helpful and kind throughout our stay. When we first arrived to our room, we noticed our mattress was sunken in very deeply, it would have definitely not be comfortable to sleep on and the person who walked us to our room was also astonished by the mattress therefore we were then given a new room. New room was also pretty bad, overall I think sweet lake resort really needs serious renovations. The main door has a 2 inch gap from the floor so anything can crawl into the room, the windows don't fully close, the bathroom door doesn't open fully nor does it close since the door latch has no hinge to fit in to. I was happy they provided a mosquito net however there were so many dead bugs in it, it really needed a wash. Pillow cases smelled like body odor, needed better washing. Overall room was very dirty. Dinner food we ordered from menu, we ordered chicken sandwich and asian chicken with rice. chicken for both entrees was dry, waitress forgot the rice so it came out much later unfortunately. Fries were good. Breakfast was a buffet and it was good. Overall, I would not recommend staying here and we were not happy to stay here either. Who ever owns this, please renovate the people who work for you deserve better!

This place is an absolute DREAM 🌿💫! From the second I arrived, I was *squealing* at the views—imagine waking up to golden sunrises over the glittering lake, hippos popping up like adorable water potatoes 🦛, and birds painting the sky in every color! The vibes? **Chef’s kiss**—lush gardens, chic cottages with private verandas (hello, Insta-worthy mornings!), and suites so cozy I wanted to move in FOREVER. The decor? Rustic-meets-luxe perfection! 🏡✨ FOODIES, REJOICE! 🍴 The restaurant is a flavor EXPLOSION—fresh tilapia from the lake? *Crispy*. *Heavenly*. And the staff? Angels in human form! They remembered my coffee order, accommodated my picky eater friend, and even surprised us with dessert under the stars. 🍰🌠 **ADVENTURE ALERT!** Sunrise boat rides felt like floating through a NatGeo documentary—hippos, eagles, FLAMINGOS?! 🦩 Then we hiked Crescent Island (!!!) and walked with ZEBRAS AND GIRAFFES LIKE IT WAS NORMAL?! 🦒🦓 Pure magic! Back at the resort, the pool was *chef’s kiss* for lazy dips, and evening bonfires had us swapping stories under the Milky Way. 🔥🌌 Yes, the Wi-Fi’s meh—but who cares?! This place is about UNPLUGGING and soaking in nature’s GLORY! The staff? LEGENDS. They planned every detail, laughed at my terrible Swahili, and made us feel like royalty. Couples, families, solo wanderers—EVERYONE needs this joy in their lives! Plus, Hell’s Gate is a quick trip away for bike safaris and geothermal wonders. 🌋 **10/10, infinity stars, WILL SCREAM ABOUT THIS PLACE FOREVER!** Lake Naivasha Resort isn’t just a stay—it’s a core memory. BOOK IT AND THANK ME LATER! 💖🌍
