Since our party included two senior citizens with mobility issues, check-in staff gave us a room that was as close to the main entrance/dining area as possible, which was much appreciated. As I was there during my birthday, my mother had taken some balloons etc to decorate the area around our table and it was a lovely surprise when I turned up in the evening to see how it had all been decked up by the dining room staff. We also enjoyed the all-singing, all-dancing Serena birthday surprise I was given during dinner, which made it an unforgettable birthday. The food offered in the buffet was tasty and enjoyable. On our last morning, we realised we had forgotten to order packed lunches so staff in the breakfast room helped us by making improvised packed lunches at short notice - and we would thank them for going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. ##### Pritha ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vandenberghe 16 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Prima verblijf voor 2 nachten in september We zijn zeer tevreden met ons verblijf in dit hotel voor 2 nachten in september. Personeel is zeer gedreven en vriendelijk. We hebben er zeer goed gegeten, vooral het uitgebreid assortiment groenten en lekker curry’s maken het top! Aan het hotel geen wilde dieren, maar in het park des te meer rond de waterpartijen. De kamers zijn niet echt ruim en hebben voldoende comfort. Wel geen kluisje of frigo. Temperatuur in september is niet te warm, dus ontbreken van airco was geen probleem. ##### Vandenberghe Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Marco 9 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The facilities of the Hotel are nice, although the parking space is insufficient.

I would have gone for all five stars except a couple things - the Expedia reservation did not show up on their system and was a bit of a concern for us after traveling for 4 hours from Nairobi . But the staff handled it well while we had our lunch. No adapters for charging phone etc. in the room. We ended up using one to charge 5 different devices ##### Padmaja Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamison 7 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property was amazing!!!! Beyond our expectations! The grounds are beautiful!! You feel like you are in the middle of a garden, with monkeys and babboons running around, so lock your doors! Pretty amazing to walk to dinner and see an elephant at a distance that I could easily pass him a soccer ball!! I wish we had had more time there as we only stayed one night!!! The staff was so hospitable. And I cannot even say enough about the food!! All you can eat buffet spreads for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!! ##### Jamison Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Nicolaj 15 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### incredible place Fantastic stay.

That’s not just because of the stunning location and accessibility of game drives which are out of this world. It’s because the service is very good, everyone seems to know what they should be doing, and are attentive, without being obsequious. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 2 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Perfect location. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stina, Helsingborg, Sweden 10 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pittoresque hotel inside the park Nice hotel in beautiful settings, good food, friendly staff and clean pool. Wi-fi is functioning well and game could even be seen from the veranda. However the premises is full of cute but naughty monkeys so be sure to close all doors and windows well. ##### Stina Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan, Kensington, Maryland 10 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A wonderful safari lodge near Mt. Kilimanjaro The dry season, September - October, is a wonderful time to visit Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge. The animals are congregated around the wetlands, and you won't find any better game viewing anywhere. The hotel is beautifully designed and maintained, and very well managed. We cherish the time we spent just observing the game from the veranda of the lodge. ##### Alan ### 8/10 Good #### DAVID, EDINBURGH UK 7 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pricey but still value for money First stayed here over 30 years ago and was pleasantly surprised that it retained all its charms with obvious success in maintaining the fabric and quality of the public and private spaces. ##### DAVID ### 10/10 Excellent #### vanessa, Saginaw, USA 20 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Go: You Deserve the Best The staff was exceptional in their professional demeanor and beyond friendly.

The food was good and there was a wide spread of Indian, African and Western dishes. The service was good and the staff were very friendly and accommodating with my toddler. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Neil, Suffolk 8 Sept 2012 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Rip-Off Hotel - beware! This hotel is geared to pre-packaged holidays rather than booking direct like we did. The hotel make no mention in their details that game-drives are an extra cost, the charges for which are $80 per person for 2 hours which for a family of four like us is very expensive. The lodge also charge to pick up up from the air strip 15 mins away. That's $40 per person each way! So in effect your taxi to and from the hotel is $320 for a family of four... and you have no choice! The hotel itself is OK. It's not nearly as good as Sernena Nairobi or Serena Beach Mombasa (neither of which rip off their guests). The rooms are fairly basic i.e. no TV, no tea and coffee etc. They are clean but mosquitoes are a problem. The restaurant is a cattle market set up in refectory style seating that is very packed at dinner time. One reason for this is that the whole hotel has to complete dinner in 90 mins which is a challenge. So net service is not great even though the staff are generally friendly. Unless you are taking an organised tour that passes through here briefly I would recommend the mara lodges i.e. Explorer or Intrepids which look expensive but when you account for everything are actually cheaper and provide a far more superior service. These are bookable through Exedia and do not charge extras. They also make it clear you have to pay your game fees for being in the park. Again another omission from Serena Lodge. Overall a let down for Serena Group which I strongly recommend avoiding. ##### Neil ### 8/10 Good #### Gijsbert 29 Aug 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great lodge Have managed to visit this park just before a business trip. Had time only for 1 night. Great people, friendly and willing to help.Food was good, although lunch and dinner are almost the same. ##### Gijsbert ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean 20 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Jean Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashok 26 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Ashok Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret 22 May 2023 ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mara Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h526955.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun N Sand Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mtwapa-Hotels-Sun-N-Sand-Beach-Resort.h22405447.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Engai Wilderness Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Engai-Wilderness-Lodge.h12423942.Hotel-Information) > > [Karen Blixen Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Karen-Blixen-Camp.h40597380.Hotel-Information) > > [Sarova Mara Game Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Sarova-Mara-Game-Camp.h1558998.Hotel-Information) > > [Sentrim Elementaita Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Sentrim-Elementaita-Lodge.h9796572.Hotel-Information) > > [Flamingo Hill Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/FLAMINGO-HILL-TENTED-CAMP.h48517186.Hotel-Information) > > [Turtle Bay Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Watamu-Hotels-Turtle-Bay-Beach-Club.h5481072.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngulia Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tsavo-Hotels-Ngulia-Safari-Lodge.h9817070.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Mara Safari Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fairmont-Mara-Safari-Club.h1544563.Hotel-Information) > > [andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-AndBeyond-Kichwa-Tembo-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h48508310.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Lake Naivasha Country Club, Naivasha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Lake-Naivasha-Country-Club.h4489107.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Intrepids Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Intrepids-Tented-Camp.h4233348.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Singapore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d3168-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ashnil Aruba Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Voi-Hotels-Ashnil-Aruba-Lodge.h12761761.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashnil Mara Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Ashnil-Mara-Camp.h12748836.Hotel-Information) > > [Billionaire Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malindi-Hotels-Lion-In-The-Sun-Hotel.h5234263.Hotel-Information) > > [Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Sarova-Lion-Hill-Game-Lodge.h1507255.Hotel-Information) > > [Lawton & Lauriston Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Lawton-Lauriston-Court.h91752102.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cirencester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels.d4602.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fig Tree Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fig-Tree-Camp.h1856048.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hounslow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hounslow-Hotels.d4251.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanyuki-Hotels-Fairmont-Mount-Kenya-Safari.h1554906.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Bush Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Bush-Camp.h9851393.Hotel-Information) > > [Rondo Retreat Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kakamega-Hotels-Rondo-Retreat-Centre.h22484572.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanyuki-Hotels-Treetops.h11091551.Hotel-Information) > > [Salt Lick Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taita-Hills-Hotels-Salt-Lick-Safari-Lodge.h1737570.Hotel-Information) ### Packages
