My daughter and I stayed at the Naivasha Simba Lodge for three days over the New Year holiday and we came away happy and satisfied with the experience. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable, lots of pressure in the shower and a balcony to relax in. Top marks go to the kitchen staff, who continously surprised us with an enticing variety of delicious dishes at every buffet meal, so that we never got bored. The pool wasn't heated as claimed online, but that didn't stop guests from enjoying it. Pool staff kept the children busy with plenty of games. It was amazing to have impala, deer and dik dik grazing just outside our balcony. Arrangements for entertainment could have been better for the New Year festivities, but overall, it was a great experience.

We stayed for one night at Lake Naivasha Simba lodge as part of a tour.

Our room was at the far end of the complex - bring a torch!

The room is tiled which made it very cold - especially as there's no AirCon. There were mosquitos in the bathroom and no net in the room itself.

The food was ok - there was a good choice. There was roast beef which looked promising but it turned out to be very chewy and fatty.

There's wildlife in the grounds - which are very nicely cared for. We saw monkeys and antelope.

Lake Naivasha is fantastic and I'd definitely recommend visiting. This hotel is fine for a short stay.

This was a second stop for my husband and I on an organised Thomas Cook Signature Safari , our honeymoon.
More modern than previous lodge, well appointed rooms with small sunken living areas with TV and fridges. Private bathrooms, all mod cons with a charming outside courtyard which had an open air shower. We could only assume this was to cool you down periodically if you used it as a sun trap. Large beds with hook to hang mosquito net. Toiletries provided.
Only here for one night but there is little to do as the grounds are actually vey limited and you are not allowed to cross over towards the Lake after certain hour and without an escort.
Bar area is very well stocked. Good service at meal times, plenty of variety and a help yourself buffet which worked well.
Swimming pool was full of noisy children when we were there and shuts at 6pm so not much choice if you want a drink and a swim after visiting the lake or a long drive.
Staff at reception a bit stand offish, but in general could not do enough for you.

Compared with the other two places we stayed last week, I cannot really recommend this lodging. Rooms did not have any window and were somewhat "clinical" with no privacy as the only way to prevent people peeping into your room was to close the whole of the door curtain. Mosquitoes in the rooms. Toilet flushing got stucked and water was running constantly for over a minute everytime it is flushed. Shower curtain didn't really work and water was everywhere. Staffs at reception were cold. Food was average.
