Lovely serene relaxing atmosphere. The staff are very polite and professional. A good weekend getaway to relax and breath fresh air. Lovely views of the lake. Enjoyed breakfast on the shores of the lake. I would definitely go back for a holiday. The food was fresh delicious.

Struttura immersa nel verde nella quiete del lago. Personale gentile e disponibile. Tra le varie attività proposte, il giro in barca ci ha permesso di godere della naturale quotidianità. L'esperienza della pesca al tramonto ci ha connesso con la natura. Consigliatissimo

The rooms were poorly lit and had not been dusted/cleaned for a while. There was dust everywhere and cob webs at every corner. The black stone finishing in the bathroom had us thinking of bacteria... The Pier was out of bounds due to maintenance which was quite a let down. Sharon made the stay bearable with her top notch service ! But the place lacked basic drinks and menu options were limited which was a great disappointment considering that we had come so far. Breakfast was nothing to write home about. The sunsets however, were epic!!

Rusinga lodge is beautiful, the ambience and the environment around is serene, rooms are cosy although a little bit outdated.The staff are friendly, however they lack professionalism and they do not know how to anticipate the guest needs, you literally have to ask for everything from serviettes to salt.We ordered food, and one of the staff said the only thing that is available is fish and chicken so disappointing.WI-FI is not available in the rooms after paying all that amount, in 21st century how can you not have WI-FI !!!! So disappointing. Nothing was working in the spa, Beach had no beach beds, a lot of improvement is needed, especially with the staff.The beach is also dirty with lots of plastics

The rooms are very nice and cozy, but it seems that they are beginning to show their age a bit. Broken toilet seats, the downlighters not working and so on. Leaves the rooms a bit dark. One bathroom, the ones used by the kids was rather dimly lit and they complained frequently. The place has lots of potential but it is untapped. Especially on the water side, they have a wonderful beach on the lake but they don't do much with it. Another issue was how long food would take to be prepared. I think they were overwhelmed by the numbers during the holiday season. The staff however were very friendly and helpful despite these challenges. Kudos to Liz, Bella and Laura who were very helpful during our stay. Overall, it is a lovely place with lots of potential but it is largely untapped.

The rooms are very spacious. We were a family of four. Parents and teens. Shared one big conjoined unit that has two rooms. One room with two beds and the other room with a master bedroom. Rustic feel to the rooms. Only issue was lizard poop I noticed on the floor and surfaces but I never actually saw the lizards. Definitely keep your things covered or zipped. The place is very serene. The waves from the lake are very peaceful. Boat rides to Takawiri and Mfangano are available at an additional price. The food took to long at times, but it was prepared fresh so put that into consideration.

The staff were so accommodative and bent over backwards to cater to our needs.
The location is stunning and so are the grounds.
The set up of the rooms means that there’s barely any light that infiltrates and so during the day you may need to switch on a light to find your way.
