We loved our apartment at Yaya! So much we came back two extra times in between safaris to rest and regroup. The staff was exceptional! They made us feel like family. Part of why we kept returning. The apartments are huge, clean as could be. There were shower amenities, plenty of towels. The linens are super. When we visit again we are definitely returning here. Thank you for a wonderful experience during our time in Kenya! We will never forget you all ❤️

Yaya was absolutely Perfect and extremely accommodating. I stayed at yaya with my husband and two kids from 12/2-12/5. We traveled to Tanzania for a few days and then completed our vacation back in Kenya at yaya on 12/10. Having a comfortable place to stay with your children is important and yaya fulfilled it all. If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in Kenya yaya is the place to be.

Location is great. The building needs remodeling. Bathrooms particularly. It looks that they are over 30 years old. people are very nice. Breakfast is delivered from mall restaurants. Don't count to be delivered before 7.15 am. No AC. Not needed though! Over all a pleasing experience! Again, very nice people!
