Mad Vervet Nairobi Backpackers Hostel

Staff, the amenities, the dogs, the kitchen, nature around, everything about this property was good vibes only The location is a bit far off from the center but its nice

The location was good, but is not a walkable street really. The staff was friendly. The photos look good, but are misleading. The noise from the bar next door, Bamba, was very heavy on the bass. The bathroom was not clean at all! The window was open when I arrived and full o bugs, and even the mosquito net was not enough. I understood that I had a private bathroom but it was shared, and even though the other room was not with people, it was really a dirty. I had to leave for the second night to get some rest.

The place is really nice with a lot of open space around, with beautiful gardens, perfect for yoga, sports etc. The kitchen and the common spaces are really nice and perfect for connecting with more travellers. Also, the owner Dan is a very cooperative and supporting guy.

Great place in the quiet and safe neighborhood of Lavington. Spacious area with big garden, many plants and different outdoor seating areas. Helpful staff, stable WiFi, well equipped common kitchen. Easy to get in contact with other guests, great place to share and receive information and advice about further travels in the region

Was quiet and peaceful. I will return at a later date? Five screaming dogs inside the house, peeing and pooping all over

Awesome stay ! Super comfy place, amazing people and vibes, lots of chilling areas and a garden. Hosts were awesome ! Bed is big, comfy with a mosquito net. Great location walking distance to lots of things and nice green area. Also dogs at the hostel which add to the vibe! Booked 2 nights and stayed a week! Definitely reccomend and will return for sure! It would be awesome if drinking water was available, also a little more frequent cleaning would be great.

Spacious. Comfortable beds. Safe environment. Walkable go nearby locations

Bad

The bed is comfortable . But there is lot of mosquitoes , the mosquitoes net doesn’t help that much . The toilet is the problem. Not that clean . The location, I don’t know cos Nairobi is big . The nearest shopping mall is like 20 minutes walking

- welcoming staff and travellers - easy check-in - nice garden with volleyball net - beautiful washrooms - good wifi in the common area - comfy big beds in a quiet room , plugs next to the bed and big lockers - nice kitchen with a fridge and a ketler - nice common area ( books, games etc. ) - hostel activities possible - cute dog - nice peaceful area , a bit far from the train station but easy to reach with Uber , walkable distance from a mall with a supermarket, telecom companies etc., no board on the fence but neighbors are helping if needed I had a little issue opening the gate myself but it was very early in the morning , so no big worry about it

Nice cosy place with big beds and clean bathrooms. Super friendly and responsive staff.

Superb

Exceptional

Very "homey" place. Extremely good for relaxing and meeting new people. I really loved the Ethiopian and Italian nights where everybody eats together and the volley ball games :)

I liked everything! Clean, hot water, kitchen, comfortable bed. The only thing I can say is that wifi is a bit slow in the rooms.

It was neat, well maintained and very comfortable. The staff were super nice and there were several activities to do, so I hardly felt bored. Nothing, it was great.

Good location There were a lot of small things that are very easy to fix that would make a massive difference… like properly handing the curtains in the room, instead of leaving them ripped down half way… insect mesh over the windows and the round hold above the entrance door… cleaning the shower room, etc.

Staff very helpful, well equipped kitchen, cozy common area, easy to get in contact with other people, big garden, stable WiFi, nice location in safe Lavington suburb mosquitoes at night (not in bed, they have mosquito nets)
