Posts: 390Sodom & Gomorra in Kakamega
For the intrepid amongst you, there is an area in the large slum in Nairobi, Kakamega, where there are many brothels where it seems locals can get laid, starting from 150 ksh upwards.
The guy in this video shows it all.
I hope this link works:

Posts: 546Went to Boss Den last night (Saturday) formerly Black Diamond in Westlands.
I would say there were 3 or 4 I would rate 8/9 and plenty others worth a visit. From past experience you can get an hour or two for 3 k in here.

Invite the girls close to curfew time. You are guaranteed a sleep over LOL. Over 60 girls and 4 at the most did not sleep over last year.

Posts: 137Got a question for the old hands. Met tinder girl out once for a date next date was at my place we bang etc. Her body is fantastic so that's great. Both times she's preferred meet early in the day and to leave early evening. I prefer this as I like sleeping alone and find nothing wrong with some afternoon delight. But what's the deal? BF at home? Baby?(no damage evident). Seems unusual to me. She says she stays with family. I've only paid for her food and transport and she's plenty happy with that.

Posts: 321Warning: Police Protecting Forex
If you need to exchange money at a Forex and you see a policeman (not security) standing outside the building as if he's guarding the Forex, don't use the Forex. The Police and his partners are waiting for someone like you to exit the Forex with cash so they can shake you down.

On arriving flight, QA staff handed out the old Visa application white card, and a small paper application for the Traveler Health Surveillance -- docs that GoK already made us complete online.
Of course, on Arrival, nobody asked to see those stupid paper applications.

Posts: 137One thing regarding accommodation- stay in westlands or nearby. Any money you save by staying elsewhere you will spend back in taxis for yourself to go out partying, or for girls taxi money. Nairobi is just so spread out. And set your tinder search to 5 km or something otherwise you'll be giving a girl 2000 for taxi and the taxi will actually cost that LOL.

Posts: 1398Hmm things must have changed in a few years
The only problem with an ABB I had in Nairobi was the first one I ever got, which I went cheap with selection. I didn't know about pre-paid electric and to keep an eye on the meter but the power died on me there. I finally understood what happened, called the dude and he fixed it. The fridge was overflowing with ice and needed a defrost. It was August and it only had an tiny space heater while leaking cold air in every window. My friend always had great ABBs in Kilimani. Woodmere is always in ABB and is very quiet. Only my moaning WG was the only noise I heard. No walk of shame and on site store.

Posts: 958 out of 10 AirBnBs have worked for me
Overall I've had good experiences with ABB. Actually, the worse experiences I've had have been in the US!
In Kenya, the bad ones were 20% or less, for example: that one-time bait-switch -- which still worked out ok for me & my friends at the alternate place (not for the scammers, though! LOL); the one where the unit was totally fine, actually quite nice, but the Host still hadn't addressed the mosquito issue (which previous Guests had complained about, so I knew what I was getting into), currently I think the NON-bogus reviews are complaining about this more&more. Kenyans being blockheaded Kenyans, he probably won't make real changes until the money drops to zero. If even then.
Power outages and water shortages happen everywhere in Kenya, even in the so-called nice areas. Only the best hotels, and the better properties in the best neighborhoods, have backup generators and extra water tanks.
My main complaint for any ABB that I've stayed at is that they typically are NOT *Quiet*. They're always either in a poor area like NaiWest, which means noise all the time; or near some lame call-to-worship at stupid hour in the mornings; or the oldie-but goodie, very near a pub or club; or, just-my-luck, major construction is going on nearby, exactly at the time of MY booking. Which of course the Host never did warn about. But makes plenty of excuses when responding to the bad reviews.
Of course, I can avoid this by staying out in the boonies like Karen, or way-overpriced-but-probably-worth-it areas like Runda, Spring Valley, etc but either choices don't make for enjoyable mongering.
Despite all this, I don't see me ever going back to hotels. (Unless my job pays for it) For me, there's more value & freedom for the money spent with ABBs.

Posts: 984Airbnb scams
There are too many to report. Just avoid it.
If you book a hotel room and you don't like the room, there are other rooms and in most cases you can switch.
A hotel is run by reasonable professionals. ABnB is run be amateurs who just want to make a quick buck.
Worse the prepaid schemes. Never book any ABnB where you shall prepay. Most hotels you can book and pay on departure.
If you need a long term place have a look first and then agree on terms.
Power to you!

Posts: 917I agree with air be and be issues
I had two or three issues renting air be and be last year. One was in Valley Arcade. Decent area by the way. The set up was slightly different than the photos but the place was still nice enough to remain for the month. Another apartment in Westland looked like the photos. But had cracked tiles tiny bathroom and sink in the living room. Another apartment did not have any refrigerator. Two apartments had no generator so went lengthy times without electricity, WIFI. Fortunately in each case Air be and be sided with my defense and I was refunded and allowed to leave my agreement prematurely. So gather facts, evidence, pics to forward to the case manager and forward a good argument and luck may be on your side. Kenya was great. The women so sweet. Especially in Nairobi. Girlfriend experience, overnight stays. No rushing to leave. Don't hesitate to pay the uber and have liquor. They love to drink. And everything should be fine.
