This was honestly one of the best places I have stayed in the world (and I have travelled a fair amount). The warm welcome and family feel was next to none. Amazing location, with beautiful surroundings. Wonderful hosts with all you could wish for, friendly, welcoming, going above and beyond to make us feel relaxed and at home. The room was wonderful and the sound of the waterfall was soothing. Tea, coffee, water, gnuts and bananas on tap was an excellent bonus. I cannot express how wonderful our stay was and if you are coming to Nairobi it is a must stay. Thank you so much to Norman and the team for our wonderful stay. We’ll see you next time!

This guesthouse is in a villa designed by a Danish architect, with eclectic interiors, with a loud waterfall as the neighbour. The staff are very kind and there's nothing they won't do for you. The breakfast delicious. The internet works well. Room was spotless clean. There are just a few rooms. All in all a very small-scale guesthouse experience, the antithesis to the corporate hotel chains that are also available in Nairobi. Teh team let me sleep effectively two nights for the price of one as I checked in on a Friday morning at 6am.

The guesthouse is not that evident to locate, as it isn't really signposted on the outside, but just follow the GPS indications and go for the yellow / red gate. The waterfall is as noisy as waterfalls are, that's the charm of the place (it made me think of the Great Northern of Twin Peaks!), but you may want to bring earplugs.

Villa Stop-Rock Falls is a real gem in the city of Nairobi for anyone who likes Modernism and Architecture at large. This outstanding piece of architecture is nested is absolutely fantastique nature, between a lush garden and the wild river of Karura Forest. Lots of details in the furniture too, very friendly staff. We liked being close to the city center with Uber but way from the madness. Our room was confortable enough. We could easily get Uber Eats delivered when needed.

Be prepared to carry you suitcase a number of stairs to the hotel and inside :) Not suitable for someone disable. We were with our 2 year old son and had no issue though. The sound of the waterfall can be impressive at first but we got used to it and actually found it calming.

Villa Rock Stop Falls in Nairobi is a hidden gem that perfectly combines art, nature, and hospitality. The atmosphere is wonderfully serene, with unique and creative artwork displayed throughout the property, giving it a truly special vibe. Every corner feels like a piece of art, making the villa both relaxing and inspiring. The location is beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of the nearby falls. It’s a perfect escape from the hustle of the city while still being conveniently accessible. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with a warm smile. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place that offers both tranquility and character, Villa Rock Stop Falls is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Nairobi!

Everything was great at this place, a real hidden gem in Nairobi. I was able to pre-order dinner which tasted excellent, and it was lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the waterfall. The only downside was that the pillows were a bit too hard for my taste and I got a bit of a neck ache unfortunately. And unfortunately there was a construction project on the plot next to the place which was loud in the morning, but it's not their fault, I was just unlucky that the construction was going on during my visit. Big thanks to Norman and the staff for the great service.

Our two-night stay at Villa Rock Stop Falls was super. This unique property blends natural elements with thoughtful design, creating an unforgettable stay. The location is great, set within a well maintained, secure compound surrounded by tall trees and lush greenery. The walk to the villa itself is a journey through beautiful gardens, immediately setting a tranquil mood that persists throughout our stay. The architectual design of the villa incorporates natural elements like rocks and wood, creating a harmonious balance between built structures and the surrounding environment. The interior is impressive, with carefully selected furniture and decor that manage to feel both sophisticated and homely. The staff is outstanding in their hospitality. They are friendly and really helpful. Cleanliness throughout the property is noticable, and the breakfast service offers a variety of options.

While we love staying here, there are two places that could be improved. The bathroom's natural ventilation system, while eco-friendly, could be more effective. The shower facilities, including the showerhead's flexibility and the temperature control system, have room for small improvements in terms of user experience. Despite these minor considerations, Villa Rock Stop Falls stands out as an exceptional stay for both of us. We are looking forward to our next visit.

The sound of the waterfall was mesmerizing, and the architecture is absolutely impeccable. Surrounded by serene nature, it’s incredibly peaceful here. The service was exceptional. Norman is the kindest, most generous, and helpful host. Mama Rose made us feel completely at home with her amazing cooking and warm personality. Norman’s team, including Catherine, is kind, professional, and extremely helpful. I am truly grateful to everyone at Villa Rock Stop Falls for making our stay an unforgettable experience and the perfect holiday. I will definitely be returning to stay here. I 100% recommend Villa Rock Stop Falls and encourage you to let Norman show you the beauty of Kenya! His tours are absolutely worth it. Thank you, Villa Rock Stop Falls!

Everything was perfect!

The hotel is set in a natural rock garden leading down to the waterfalls. Every room overlooks the falls. It's built by a Danish-Norwegian architect in a way that adapts to the nature around it. As a Norwegian I LOVED it. The staff are SOOO attentive and kind. They really go above and beyond. The breakfast is generous and the dinner is tasty and great value for money. Leave the window open at night and the falls give you the perfect white noise to fall asleep to.

I honestly found nothing not to like.

The villa is a remarkable place both for its beauty and for the community it creates at the lovely breakfast table with free bananas with its window looking out onto the rushing river. The architecture of the building seamlessly combines with the natural landscape and the garden is bursting with life and small nooks that are perfect to either curl up and read or enjoy nature. Waking up to a view of the trees and the river in the sun was a pure joy. The hotel staff were beyond kind and warm, and I truly cannot recommend staying here enough.

Staff were extremely accommodating, place was clean, and waterfall was a delight to see and hear. I loved all of the greenery around the hotel. I was able to lock up my belongings while I went on safari and they were prepared for me when I returned. I also enjoyed the breakfast provided. There were a couple of fruits I had never tried before so that was a pleasure. There is also a dog on the property that is super friendly. I enjoyed having the dog sit with me by the waterfall.

It was cold. No heat or ac which is common in Nairobi so it just comes with the territory. Cannot fault the property.
