Frequently Asked Questions

Guesthouse rentals in Nairobi range from Ksh 80,000 to over Ksh 500,000 per month depending on size (4-20 bedrooms), location (Westlands commands higher prices than outlying areas), and amenities (pool, security systems etc). Most standard guesthouses fall in the Ksh 120,000-250,000/month range.
Standard lease terms are typically 2-3 years for smaller properties and up to five years for premium guesthouses. Landlords often require a security deposit of two months' rent plus one month's rent paid in advance.
Basic utilities like water and garbage collection are usually included. Electricity may be included or metered separately. Internet/TV connections are typically the tenant's responsibility. Always confirm what's included before signing a lease.
Prime areas include Westlands (business travelers), Kilimani (central location), Karen/Langata (tourists visiting national parks), and Lavington (upscale clientele). Choose based on your target market - business travelers prefer city center locations while leisure guests prefer quieter suburbs.
This depends on the specific property zoning and lease terms. Some guesthouses allow small-scale catering while others prohibit commercial food service. Always verify permitted uses before leasing as additional licenses may be required from county authorities.
