Acacia Tree Lodge is my absolute go-to hotel for my annual trips to Kenya. It offers a wonderful, friendly boutique atmosphere with unbeatable value—both for the room rates and the incredibly fair prices on food, drinks, and laundry. Even better, staying here supports a great cause. The lodge is run by the non-profit New Hope Foundation, whose work is close to my heart after one of their hospitals in Tanzania saved a close friend's life years ago. Highly recommended!

Spotlessly clean. Great showers, comfortable beds. Very friendly, kind and accommodating staff. It’s a great place to start or end your trip to Kenya as it’s in a quiet, peaceful part of Nairobi, with a beautiful secluded garden full of birds. The on site cafe provides a good selection of food and drink. There is a little shop on site selling items made by women at a project to support their lives. We loved it here.

This small hotel is in a fabulous location- close to the Giraffe Centre, Karen Blixen Museum and the National Park. Karen is a lovely green area. The hotel has lovely open areas to sit. The cafe serves good meals at reasonable prices. The hotel arranged for the driver, Steven, to pick me up from the airport. He also took me to the national park and museums etc. I can highly recommend him too.

Super pleased with our stay here! The room was clean, cutely decorated with lots of space. Shower was big and had ample hot water (after about 30 secs of running). Staff was very friendly with extra props for the kitchen crew and chefs. The food was so good at the end of our Nairobi trip we returned to Acacia Tree just to eat.

Excellence and Comfort for a greater good

This is a very cosy place to stay. Despite being a hotel, you get the feeling of being at home with very intentional and friendly customer service. The staff were extremely warm and proactive in offering help. And the food options from Zeke’s Cafe, right on the property, were excellent! Can’t rave too much about this place that provides excellent customer service, all for a greater good!

We were not lucky on the night we stayed. There was a power outage late night in parts of Kenya and hotel’s power generator was on and it made loud noises. We could not sleep well. We understood that it was not hotel’s fault. All the staffs there are very nice and helpful. Breakfast was good and sufficient. We will come back after our safari trip and we hope room will be quiet.

A comfortable & convenient stay for great value

We had a wonderful stay at the Acacia Tree Lodge before & after our safari in Masai Mara. The staff was extremely accommodating with our late arrival & early departure before our bushplane flight, holding our bags, and helping us arrange a driver for a day trip out of Nairobi. The location is excellent - very convenient, safe, and easy to get Ubers. The breakfast was tasty and nutritious with some days having a buffet & omelette station and other days having a set menu that you order from with lots of options. We had coffee, tea, juices, egg dishes, beans, sausage, muffins, fruit, and more. We had dinner one night that was just ok, there are so many great restaurants in Nairobi and Karen that I would recommend going elsewhere. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious, and the bathrooms had great showers and lots of hot water (no conditioner). We thought it was amazing value, an enjoyable stay, and would definitely stay again / recommend to other travelers. Pictures online are accurate if a little underselling the place!

This turned out to be the best experience of our trip. Gorgeous property in a safe and walkable area to many restaurants and shops. The staff are so kind, helpful, and go over and above to ensure guests are happy. There’s a wonderful restaurant on the property. Great food and great variety. Excellent coffee. This property supports the Kibera community by donating profits to the community. There’s a shop on the property where you can buy beautiful crafts, jewelry made in the community. Everyone here is always smiling and so kind. The rooms are clean, beautiful and have anything you can need along with special great smelling soaps and hair products. We look forward to returning to Nairobi and staying at Acacia tree lodge again. Thank you Stephen for sharing your beautiful life and community with us. You are forever in our hearts.

I traveled to Africa for the first time and as a solo woman. I could not have made a better choice than the Acacia Tree Lodge. The staff’s attention to details and to my comfort made this the perfect choice. Their mission and profits support the local community and the staff is courteous, professional and well trained. Stevenen, the concierge, was kind enough to arrange a driver for me, Micah. His kindness and professionalism, as well as his knowledge of the area and attractions provided me a perfectly curated experience in central Kenya. I recommend them most highly particularly if you are visiting Africa for the first time or planning a solo trip.

Look no further. Here you will feel home.

The best choice in Nairobi away from unpersonal chain hotels. At Acacia we really felt home. The rooms are decorated with a lot of attention to the detail. The matress is amazing (by far the best we had on our trip!). And the best thing is: you are doing something good for the people. The proceeds are used in the New Hope projects in the Kibera neighbourhood. Thanks especially to the lovely and welcoming staff! We will be back :)

True gem at affordable price

I thought the reviews were too good to be true, but the Acacia Tree really is a gem, and at a great price! The hotel and rooms were very clean and tastefully decorated, bed was comfy, and staff were friendly. Karen is also a lovely part of Nairobi and close to some of the best attractions (car or Uber needed). I will definitely be back if I can get a room again at this top rated hotel.
