Pros:

The hospitality was amazing. Fadhili was exceptionally good. Abdalla the tuktuk driver was really a lifesaver for me in terms of movement and he was extremely professional and kind. As a solo traveller I would definitely go back

Wonderful stay, friendly staff, clean space!
Pros:

The breakfast was great - several options to choose from!
The shower pressure was low on a few occasions, but overall everything was functional.
Swimming pool was clean, garden well manicured, and shared space enough for everyone.

Cons:

Consider adding fan on the terrace overlooking the pool for additional comfort.
Check on water pressure.
Add snacks/bitings on the menu for late night cravings or mid-day hunger pangs!

Bamboo House is the ultimate Malindi sanctuary for those seeking stunning interior design, exceptional service, and tota
Pros:

If Malindi, then there is no other place than Bamboo House. We had a quick call with the owner Daniela, who helped us a lot and navigate with Jamila, the manager . Grace welcomed us and Tahid ( hope the name is written correct) did an amazing job with preparing the breakfast.
The interior is amazing / the love to every detail. Once you enter the location you are in an complete different environment and can relax. So for travellers who love more privacy this is the most place to book.

Cons:

I enjoyed my stay- and it was walking distance from the beach during daylight hours.
Pros:

The room was very clean and bed was comfortable. The kitchen staff were amazing- excellent breakfast (with real coffee) and they cared very much about providing high quality service. The outdoor area was very pleasant for chilling. They provided filtered drinking water which is appreciated. There are a few restaurants along the beach which are about 20 minutes walk. Easy to get boda boda on the main road to get to town.

Cons:

The fan provided was too noisy to use - would be appreciated to have a proper quiet pedestal fan as an alternative to using air conditioning. Staff who provided the initial orientation seemed uninterested in her job - didn’t know how to open the room safe so it was unusable and was haphazard about checking me into the room. The pool is much smaller than it appears in the photo.

Pros:

The apartment is really cute, nicely decorated and the staff is super kind

Cons:

I was travelling as a single person and the fact that it was completely prohibited to register an outsider guest and sleep over it really spoiled my trip.
