The owners were extremely nice and helpful. We had special requests - once a snack instead of breakfast, night check-out, taxi... they accommodated us in everything. The accommodation was beautiful, in a safe location, in a beautiful garden. The breakfast was excellent. It's not too far from here to the giraffe center and the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage (we took an Uber). Definitely recommend!

The extreme readiness of staff to help and meet my needs; from the moment I'd arrived to the moment I left. Steve, the staff member tasked with my room, had made sure all of my needs were met with extreme readiness and promptness, whether it was supplies, taxi bookings, phone arrangements, or shopping, everything really. The owner, Mrs. Sylvia, followed up incessantly and even out in some face time to see if I'm comfortable and whether I needed extra help to make my stay more satisfactory, which I didn't and told her there's literally nothing more they could do. She was exceedingly pleasant and hospitable.

Hob House was charming. The house itself is tastefully decorated with beautiful African art. Our room was very clean. Also the ensuite bathroom which had excellent water pressure and.consistent hot water. There was a balcony off our room. It was shared with the adjacent room but we had it to ourselves and it overlooked the garden. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of room. The English and Lebanese breakfasts were both delicious as were the Lebanese suppers. The waiters were able to explain the various dishes and the service was excellent. We were able to bring our own wine to the table and there was no corking fee. The gardens were lovely. A number of different brightly coloured trees were in bloom and there were many exotic flowers. Lots of spots to sit and enjoy the garden, observe the various bird and also smoothies, tea and cafe mocha. Luckily there was little humidity, sunny skies and soft breezes. The staff was friendly and helpful. The business manager Sheila promptly responded to emails before our arrival, advised us we could have a better room than the one we had booked, at the same price. And arranged for Charles to pick us up at the airport and to return us to the airport. This was a good idea as it was dark on both occasions and Hob House is on a back road on the western edge of the city and could be difficult for some drivers to find. We were able to leave our large suitcases at HH while we enjoyed a six day safari. When we arrived back on our last day to pick up our luggage and have a final supper before a late night flight Sheila provided us with a ground floor room with a bed and a bathroom with a shower to rest, freshen up and organize ourselves for the trip home. What more can I say. Fantastic experience in every way.

    Very friendly host. Breakfast with daily changing fresh fruits, toast and eggs. Clean room. Quiet neighbourhood a bit off the city center. Good WiFi, had one longer blackout but this seems unusual.
