Our verdict

Sarova Hotels & Resorts is a hotel-only booking site, which suits you if you want a single clear category and a question answered by phone or email. It lists hotels and nothing beyond that, where Emirates, Intrepid Travel and Čedok each fold flights, packages or tours into the same booking.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • One clear focus: the range is hotels, so a search runs without extra categories in the way.
  • Support runs on email and phone, so a question can be put to a person by phone as well as in writing.
  • A short catalogue means less filtering. Emirates, for instance, lists flights, hotels and tours in the same search, which is a wider basket than most groups need to read through.
  • The company that takes the booking is the company arranging the room, and it sits in Kenya, so questions about the stay stay in one place.

Cons

  • The range is hotels and nothing else, so a group that also needs a flight or a transfer has to arrange those somewhere else.
  • Support runs on email and phone only, so there is no listed route for anything outside email and phone.
  • Emirates keeps flights, hotels and tours under the same roof, so a wider basket is only a search away.
  • Intrepid Travel's booking conditions cover packages, tours and cruise, which builds a whole trip around the stay rather than starting and ending with the room.

Visit

Who it suits

  • You want a booking site with a short product list, so you are not scrolling past flights and transfers while you look for a room.
  • Your group has a shared booking contact who would rather ask by phone or email than fill in a form.
  • You have already arranged flights and transfers and want the hotel itself handled well.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Emirates, if you want hotels booked in the same place as flights, hotels and tours.
  • Intrepid Travel, if the trip is built around packages, tours and cruise rather than a room on its own.
  • Čedok, if you want a stay tied to flights, packages and tours.

Who runs it

Sarova Hotels & Resorts is headquartered in Kenya, and it is the same business that takes the booking and arranges the room. Support runs on email and phone, and those are the only routes listed, so a group can work a whole reservation by phone and email. For a party travelling together, that matters more than the size of the catalogue: the person holding the booking can keep the dates, swap a room type when a member of the group changes, and send the written confirmation to the rest in the same thread. The trade-off sits in range rather than in service, since anything beyond the room has to be arranged by someone else. Reading email and phone before you book is worthwhile, because those channels set how quickly a group question gets resolved once you are on site.

How Sarova Hotels & Resorts compares

Frequently asked questions

What can I book on Sarova Hotels & Resorts?+

Hotels, and that is the whole list: the products offered are hotels. There is nothing else in the range to weigh up, so a search stays short. If you also need a flight, a transfer or a package, a broader site will get you there faster.

How do I contact Sarova if a booking changes?+

Support runs on email and phone, so a change to dates or a room type can go out by email or be put to someone by phone. Those routes are the full list, which works well for a group where a single contact handles the booking for everyone.

Where is Sarova Hotels & Resorts based?+

The company is headquartered in Kenya, and it is the same business that takes the booking. For a group stay, that means questions about the property and the reservation go to the company itself rather than a broker in between.

How does Sarova compare with Emirates?+

Emirates covers a much wider range, listing flights, hotels and tours on the same site. Sarova lists hotels and nothing more, so pick it when the room is the only thing you are booking and you would rather not scroll past flights, transfers or car hire.

What does Intrepid Travel offer that Sarova does not?+

Intrepid Travel is built around trips rather than rooms, with packages, tours and cruise in its booking conditions. Sarova stays on hotels, so if your group wants a fixed itinerary with transport and excursions included, Intrepid Travel is the closer match.

Is there a difference between Sarova and Čedok?+

Čedok pairs its hotel bookings with flights, packages and tours, so a stay can be tied to a flight, a cruise or a ski week. Sarova, with hotels as its range, suits you if the rest of the trip is already arranged and the room is the only booking left to make.

Do I get extras such as lounges or visa help?+

Extras of that kind sit with the wider sites: flights, hotels and tours covers Emirates, and packages, tours and cruise includes visa services at Intrepid Travel. The Sarova range is hotels, so airport lounges, visa paperwork and similar add-ons are not part of the booking here.

How should a group organise a booking here?+

Start with the room, since hotels is the only thing on offer, and keep the group's dates and room type in a single thread. Support on email and phone means an amendment can be raised by phone or email rather than left sitting in a written enquiry.
