Reviews for Keekorok Lodge

Unbelievably smelly!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

This is a charming lodge in the Mara, with the added excitement of not being fenced so there is a possibility of game walking through, though we didn’t see any in two nights there. The staff are friendly and Judy in particular was very helpful with my daughter who has coeliac disease. There was very little food in the buffet she could eat, but Judy always organised something that was safe. It’s disappointing though, that having paid the same as everyone else, she had to eat beef and rice for most meals. Especially as they were warned in advance. The room was comfortable enough, but the smell from the hippo pool was overwhelming, truthfully making it hard to sleep. The whole front lawn was smelly, I think due to a very overcrowded hippo pool, not the lodges fault - but very unpleasant.

Don’t recommend

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

We spent a couple days here on a trafalgar safari tour; it’s the worst accommodation thus far. Rooms are so-so, service was poor, and the Bush Banquet was an absolute rip off (same food and show that you get at the main restaurant, just much more expensive).

We had a amazing time at Muthu Keekorok

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

We had a truly wonderful stay at Muthu Keekorok Camp, the views were very nice. the camp itself was peaceful and well maintained, offering a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere and can see Antelopes and hippo roaming infront of rooms freely which is incredible views. We are greatful for Mr Mahesh - the manager for friendly hospitality and taking care of us ensuring everything went smoothly throughout our visit. the staff were attentive and friendly. Thank you to the whole team for the memorable experience. A special mention to the chef Ahesan – the food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Every meal was delicious specially the Indian cuisines and desserts. I highly recommend Muthu Keekroc Camp for anyone looking for comfort, great hospitality, and tasty food in the heart of nature.

Horrible experience. No water, horrible food and a complete waste of money.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Cons: (Please read everything, they are exceptionally bad) Water was unavailable in the bathrooms for 2 days out of my 7 day stay. The bedsheets and pillows are dirty and stained. The stains looked brown and red. The bathrooms are extremely dirty and the bath towels stink! I've attached photos of everything. On the rare occasion that the water did work, the tap water and the water in the shower were dirty and seemed to be unfiltered, even brown in color. We found this out by using some of the tap water as the water to flush the toilets since the water supply ran out for the entire hotel. When we flushed using the tap water, the water was literally dark brown. You might actually get diseases from this kind of water, and its being used by everyone to brush their teeth every morning and wash their faces. This theme was present throughout the lodge, the swimming pool is extremely dirty because it lacks a filtration system. Avoid it if you don't want to get diseases! Seriously! The hippo bar was closed and despite there being a sign that said "Under Repair", there was nobody actually over there repairing the bar. Trash and empty bottles all around the lodge in the grassy areas. Clearly the hotel does not care about cleanliness. Moving on to the food, it was also horrible. The buffet has primarily Indian food and it is very low quality, we were even told by the operations manager that the curries are frozen for months with preservatives. The food does not taste good either. Almost all guests were sticking to the live counter's pasta and noodles every day since the food given in the buffet was so bad. There was a lack of Kenyan food, people going to Kenya want Kenyan food, not Indian. What made it even worse is that the buffet does not even offer free water or soft drinks. You have to pay for it! Also, if you're thinking of taking a packed breakfast or lunch to the game drives for a picnic or to increase your chances of spotting an animal, then you're also out of luck. The packed food is horrible and the reception service is so bad that they reversed our order of 3 non-veg lunches and 1 veg lunch. They gave us 3 veg boxes and 1 non-veg box. The staff have some serious coordination issues. The very few pros: 1. Some staff are very friendly and kind. 2. You can often spot animals at night but this could be a con since the lodge does not have a fence so animals can just roam around, even predators. We saw hyenas and hippos but the operations manager showed us pictures of a pack of lions being sighted during the night too. 3. The bush dinner (have to pay separately for this) - has great food. However, the "rangers" they hire to protect you are not even on the lookout and just chat with each other. This can be dangerous since animals surround the bush dinner, especially hyenas and buffalos. Please do not go to this lodge! Its a huge waste of money.. Living there was a horribly stressful experience.
