Pros:

Bel établissement et personnel super accueillant
Je pensais que la piscine était plus grande, l’hôtel fait penser à une villa partagée.
Je recommande

Cons:

Le déjeuner : le choix du déjeuner est très limitée. On peut choisir uniquement un menu (crêpes et assiettes de fruit/ tartine avocat)
C’est très dommage, il faudrait laisser la possibilité d’avoir un choix plus large.

Pros:

Hier haben wir drei Nächte während unserer Kenia-Reise verbracht und waren rundum zufrieden. Das Zimmer war groß und sehr sauber. Die Mitarbeiter waren durchweg superfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Die gepflegte Außenanlage mit dem Pool und dem Garten ist wunderschön und lädt direkt zum Entspannen ein. Das Frühstück war einfach klasse. Man wählt am Vortag aus einem reichhaltigen Angebot aus und bekommt es am nächsten Morgen zur gewünschten Zeit frisch zubereitet. Frisches Obst und ein frisch gepresster Saft sind jedes Mal dabei. Durch die Bewachung rund um die Uhr haben wir uns zudem jederzeit sicher gefühlt. Wer ein paar Nächte in Malindi verbringen möchte, dem können wir diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Beautiful boutique villa with amazing swimming pool and staff.
Pros:

This property should be called a boutique villa. It's a beautiful villa (not a house) with only four rooms, which offers immense privacy. The garden is beautiful and very well-maintained, and the clean pool adds to the sense of luxury. The rooms are large, minimalist in style, very clean and comfortable. It's very quiet and perfect for relaxation. The staff deserves the most attention. They treated us like family. Breakfast is delicious! Avocado toast with eggs, fruit, pancakes, and fruit juices. The beach is a 5-minute walk away. It's beautiful and very local. It's cheaper than Watamu, so it's worth shopping there and supporting the local community.

Cons:

Nothing, actually. I gave the internet a 10/10 rating so as not to lower the villa's rating, because it's not their fault that there's no transmitter; the one that does exist is simply weak. You can install eSIM MobiMatter to use it outside the villa as well. With my code MZFVY39318 - $5.

Krásné stylové ubytování, skvělé snídaně,v docházkové vzdálenosti k plážím a restauracím, ochotný personál. Nebyl jediný
Pros:

Je to něco jiného než klasický hotel, takže kdo hledá něco takového domáckého, privátního, tak to má své kouzlo a je to určitě stylovka.

Cons:

Snad jen chybějící lednice a TV na pokoji. Na druhou stranu lednici máte hned za dveřmi ve společných prostorách a TV se do takové oázy klidu ani nehodí, jsem na to jen prostě zvyklý.

Mooie plek om volledig tot rust te komen
Pros:

De b&b geeft enorme rust, is mooi verzorgd. Het ontbijt was heerlijk. De B&B biedt verschillende mogelijkheden aan voor bijvoorbeeld transport, uitstappen, nagelsalons,…
Middag- en avondeten wordt niet voorzien maar er is een grote koelkast en microgolf waar je gebruik van kan maken. Simon de kok is enorm vriendelijk, vroeg elke dag hoe we geslapen hadden en hoe ons verblijf tot nu toe is.
Een bezoek aan Hell’s kitchen is zeker aan te raden!

Cons:

De gastvrouw Jamilla heeft een teruggetrokken indruk, ze zal je niet snel begroeten, bevragen of ze je ergens mee kan helpen,…
In de kamer waren er een aantal spinnenwebben te merken boven het bed.
