"The hotel was conveniently located and the rooms were nice. The people were helpful and the grounds were beautiful. The pool was freezing cold and the restaurant had a very limited menu at night and the food wasn't great."

"Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages review"
5 nights Arrived 12 Oct 2023
"Please appreciate that our reviews will be coloured by our specific accessibility requirements.
The staff were very helpful and kind.
From an access perspective KBCG&C was pretty good. There was a lot of noise disturbance at night exacerbated by numerous electrical devices which had flashing/bright lights (e.g. in room telephone and wifi box).
The food was ok but not great and orders were often mixed up or incorrect.
Overall we felt KBCG&C was significantly overpriced!" See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya

Feedback Response
Karen Blixen Cottages responded to this feedback by sending their sincere apologies to these guests. While they were very happy to hear that the staff had been helpful and that access for the guest in a wheelchair was adequate or better, they were very sorry these guests had their sleep interrupted by lights from some of the fittings in their room. They told Expert Africa they would be taking steps to review that problem. They also took on board the comments about a below-par food service in general and the fact that these guests felt that services were overpriced. At Expert Africa, our view is that Karen Blixen Coffee Gardens and Cottages offers reasonably good value for money – though not if if the items ordered in the bar or restaurant are not served, or not served correctly.
