Dear Faith, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. While we are truly pleased to hear that you found our rooms amazing, enjoyed the cleanliness, breakfast, sustainability efforts, and received such attentive service from our team — especially Sherry, Josephine, Will, and our chef at Enchanté — we are deeply concerned to learn about your experience with food poisoning. Please accept our most sincere apologies. The health and safety of our guests is our absolute priority. What you described is taken very seriously, and we regret the distress and discomfort this caused you and your husband. This is certainly not reflective of our standards. We are immediately sharing your feedback with our culinary and food safety teams to investigate thoroughly and ensure that every protocol is being strictly followed. We are grateful for your kind words about our team and your recognition of their service. It means a great deal, particularly given the circumstances. Your appreciation of our sustainability initiatives and loyalty to ALL – Accor Live Limitless is also sincerely valued. We would very much appreciate the opportunity to connect with you directly to learn more about your experience and follow up properly. Please feel free to contact us at your convenience so we may personally address this matter. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We truly hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in us in the future. Warm regards, Gem Forest Hotel Nairobi- MGallery Collection!
