“Kivu Resort presents an accessible Nakuru option; however, some aspects require attention. While the listing suggested functional WiFi, consistent connectivity proved problematic, mirrored by inconsistent hot water availability. Discrepancies between advertised features, such as a refrigerator and safe, and actual room amenities also impact the experience.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Toresort
