Meglio accordarsi prima o andare a fare la spesa con loro se si ha tempo. Una volta se ne è andata la luce ma dopo poco è ritornata, hanno attivato il gruppo elettrogeno probabilmente che faceva rumore dal mio appartamento. Dopo un' ora ha smesso. ##### MARIA GRAZIA Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Noble Hotel and Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eldoret-Hotels-The-Noble-Hotel-And-Conference-Center.h41261602.Hotel-Information) > > [Junction Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sagana-Hotels-JUNCTION-GUEST-HOUSE.h50723770.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngulia Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tsavo-Hotels-Ngulia-Safari-Lodge.h9817070.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Engai Wilderness Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Engai-Wilderness-Lodge.h12423942.Hotel-Information) > > [Voi Wildlife Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Voi-Hotels-Voi-Wildlife-Lodge.h26502169.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) > > [Treetops](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanyuki-Hotels-Treetops.h11091551.Hotel-Information) > > [Flamingo Hill Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/FLAMINGO-HILL-TENTED-CAMP.h48517186.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h526955.Hotel-Information) > > [Buraha Zenoni Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Buraha-Zenoni-Hotel-And-Resort.h45580291.Hotel-Information) > > [Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taita-Hills-Hotels-Taita-Hills-Safari-Resort-Spa.h1736146.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuniville Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanyuki-Hotels-Kuniville-Guest-House.h18415068.Hotel-Information) > > [Karen Blixen Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Karen-Blixen-Camp.h40597380.Hotel-Information) > > [Loisaba Lodo Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanyuki-Hotels-Loisaba-Lodo-Springs.h34830686.Hotel-Information) > > [Sentrim Elementaita Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Sentrim-Elementaita-Lodge.h9796572.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Nakuru Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Lake-Nakuru-Lodge.h21623169.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naivasha-Hotels-Lake-Naivasha-Sopa-Resort.h89269624.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashnil Aruba Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Voi-Hotels-Ashnil-Aruba-Lodge.h12761761.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Great-Rift-Valley-Lodge-And-Golf-Resort.h2802088.Hotel-Information) > > [Billionaire Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malindi-Hotels-Lion-In-The-Sun-Hotel.h5234263.Hotel-Information) > > [Makuti Villas Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilifi-Hotels-Makuti-Villas-Resort.h32592816.Hotel-Information) > > [Rondo Retreat Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kakamega-Hotels-Rondo-Retreat-Centre.h22484572.Hotel-Information) > > [Driftwood Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malindi-Hotels-Driftwood-Beach-Club.h5359880.Hotel-Information) > > [Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tsavo-Hotels-Kilaguni-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h3284253.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun N Sand Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mtwapa-Hotels-Sun-N-Sand-Beach-Resort.h22405447.Hotel-Information) > > [Sarova Shaba Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Archers-Post-Hotels-Sarova-Shaba-Game-Lodge.h1507259.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Palm Spa and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilifi-Hotels-Silver-Palm-Spa-And-Resort.h20063594.Hotel-Information) > > [Sawela Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Sawela-Lodge.h19711522.Hotel-Information) > > [Diamonds Malindi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malindi-Hotels-Diamonds-Malindi.h106221869.Hotel-Information) ---
