  Buyer beware. This is the worst place to book an event—especially a wedding. Everything seemed fine until after the wedding, then they came after us with issues and charges. George was by far the worst to deal with throughout this process. The entire experience was terrible and extremely disappointing. We had originally planned on coming back for future events, but after this experience, absolutely not. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

  Every facility at LAKE NAKURU SAWELA lodge feels like walking in paradise As the assistant class representative and team leader at Kenya Utalii college pastry and bakery class of 2025 during our school educational trip i had the pleasure of visiting SAWELA LODGE. We were welcomed by Mr. . George Ndungu their team leader , the senior sous chef Mr. Ibrahim who is a former Kenya Utalii college alumni and their housekeeping manager Mr. Michael Waweru The senior sous chef Mr. Ibrahim gave us a detailed tour in their sparkling clean well and organized kitchen sections, their indoor dining facilities they also have a VIP dining section as well as two beautiful outdoor tea gardens gives the place a lush feeling of life I was absolutely amazed by the scale and elegance of their conference facilities every detail felt thoughtfully done, their lighting system makes the conference rooms feel grand and welcoming. They also have a welcoming prayer room for the Muslims The business deluxe rooms were very spacious beautifully arranged with fresh flowers overlooking the garden of comfort. Their prices are very accommodating . The place truly lives up to its name "a place of birds rest " warm welcoming cozy and peaceful Beyond the rooms and conference areas the hotel truly caters to all ages they have an indoor and outdoor games area for kids below 4 years and also have a game room for much older children and a well-kept gym The outdoor decor at their zebra cafe is beautifully crafted creating a charming and welcoming space for guests with views of the pool, catching sunsets and if lucky sometimes hippopotamus come to graze in the nearby shores of lake Nakuru SAWELA LODGE smells feels looks and tastes like comfort .Highly recommend ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Catherine Nyaga Assistant Class representative and team leader Kenya Utalii collage Pastry and bakery class of 2025

  Good gardens, good swimming pool, good gym. Game room fairly good but some games have missing items like darts are not available. Staff were friendly. Food was average but not much variety. Waiters are too quick to clear the table which was annoying because at times they want to clear a plate even before one is done. The rooms are just average, not so much to write home about. Plenty of mosquitoes, but they provide a mosquito net and also conduct fumigation at night The hotel doesn't have a direct lake view They only provide 1litre of water per room and require you to buy water if you need additional water. Drinks during meals are also charged. Which is unreasonable given the price charged for a full night stay. They kicked me out of my room exactly at check out hours despite me requesting for additional 30 minutes to finish getting ready. The reason was the room needed to be cleaned up for another check-in in the afternoon. Upon friendly enquiry from one of the cleaners, they told me it takes a maximum of 30 minutes to get the room ready for a new guest. Implying the treatment of denying me 3mins to finish my preparation was just unfair.

  Very beautiful place and the staff is genuinely kind and welcoming — it really makes a difference. That said, the food is overpriced for the quality, and one important warning: be extra careful with the water. I got quite sick after having a drink with ice cubes. Better to ask for no ice and stick to bottled water. Overall, a lovely setting and great service, but a few things to keep in mind before booking.
