Mara River

Please don’t stay here. The rooms are incredibly noisy. There is a busy road that you don’t see in the pictures with cars honking all night long. The rooms are tried and need updating. The air conditioning is fine in the bedrooms, but not in the bathrooms. The WiFi basically is non existent. However, the worst part is the people. They will offer all kinds of services, from airport transfer, to tours. Trust nothing. Get everything in writing. They will promise you everything, but deliver very little. They will massively up-charge you on transfers, and provide overpriced tours with a guide that takes you to places he knows only to try and give them extra business. They see everyone as a dollar sign, so don’t be fooled. The smiling friendliness masks the sneaky, manipulative ways they will try to get money from you any way they can. My best advice is stay elsewhere and book every tour with a reputable company, with an itinerary and price in writing.

I love the fact that I could see the pyramids from the the top floor where they serve free breakfast. The room was cold, but I guess it was because I came in March. So everything was great except for one staff member who was very nasty to me because I couldn’t understand her accent so I stayed far from her.

great place to stay
