There is a cook there called Benson, that for sure is employee of the year. Always does everything according instructions and keeps time as well.

We had money stolen not once but twice from safe. Safe had key not code and spare stays with owner. They didn’t have a spare key for our room supposedly so we had to leave the key if going out during day so the cleaner could come in. Both times money went missing when we were out and had the room key so receptionist said couldn’t happen there and must be “internal” which is impossible and I didn’t like his attitude. Either the owner or a staff member is taking money. Until this happened we thought it was a unique excellent small hotel which is spotlessly clean the breakfast excellent and the waiter Nzai works really hard.

We do not take responsibility for any valuable lost as we have indicated on our policies. You are the ones who stayed with the key and your case has never happened at this place. So do not write a bad review to spoil the image of our staff.

Incredible place - a kind of camp casbah full of African antiques and canopied pavilions. The antidote to minimalism.
Perfectly quiet - you just hear the birds - and thoughtful details like flowers on the sheets. Vast closet areas, bathroom bigger than my apartment. Recommend!

Great place
Posted 18 Dec 2016 on HotelsI was pleasantly surprised and recommend the hotel to anyone. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. Breakfast is great. The service is great. The beach is 5minutes away on a tuktuk.

The hotel has a wonderful setting, quiet and comfy
Posted 14 Oct 2015
Pros: Everything !
Cons: TVs should be upgraded in the rooms
Location: Quite close to town and the beach and other amenities, pharmacies, and other beach restaurants and casino
We enjoyed our stay there, staff ready to serve us at any time, very clean hide-out place.
In particular I enjoyed the serene setting and antique dressings! Very clean and close to the beach!

Wonderful romantic, African atmosphere
Posted 21 Sep 2015
Pros: The atmosphere and the staff and the privacy of the rooms. Wonderfully exotic and romantic.
Cons: Hard to think of any improvement.
Location: The beautiful Malindi beaches are walking distance. The ancient and fascinating ruins of the city of Gedi are a must see, about 30 minutes drive.
We loved it from the moment we arrived. There are only 7 rooms and each of them has privacy. There is masses of space and all the furniture, rugs and curtains etc are carefully and beautifully selected from Africa and the other countries of the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.
The staff are efficient and pleasant, the food is excellent and beautifully presented.
One of the few occasions when the reality is even better than the website!

Good B and B, unique, under staffed (low season)
Posted 17 Apr 2015
Pros: Real character
Cons: Shift the beach 1km towards the B and B. Or the other way round, it doesn't really mateer
Location: Tuk tucks readily available to brilliant restaurants
Very good for the price. The beach was a little far and one member of staff was solely responsible for cooking, porting, and about 4 other jobs.
