I have used the facility twice. Two days in 2004 and six days in 2005. Though hostel is not five-star, they have everything you need from camping, bandas to dormitories for up to twenty people. They have well maintained washrooms with hot water showers, various halls, and a spacious compound for every game from adult to those of children. The place is ever green and only fifteen minutes walk from Lake Naivasha. I really enjoyed my stay.

It's a great place, cool and away from all the noises and the DUST of Naivasha town. For those who would like to visit, the phone code is 050 and not 0311 as indicated in the Web site. Enjoy... I am sure the painting is over, have fun! Taste the goodness of Africa.

I found that this YMCA, while not up to the standards of the USA, to be more than acceptable. It has running water, showers and toilets, an eating hall with traditional Kenyan food, and decent soccer facilities. My only complaint was the fact that upon our arrival and payment for lodging they began to work on the property. The painting of the dinning area resulted in our having to eating our final four meals outdoors. Overall, though, it was a decent facility.
