Our stay at Q Boutique Resort was a very pleasant experience. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were extremely kind and welcoming. A special thanks to Mr. Wilson, who called in advance to confirm our booking and made sure all our requests were taken care of – his friendliness and professionalism made us feel very welcome. The owner, originally from Romania, did not communicate with us directly, but his team delivered excellent service throughout our stay. On our second day, we experienced a lack of water in the shower for a few hours, but it was quickly resolved, and afterwards we had no further issues. I stayed there with my children, and they were also very happy with the hotel. This was our first visit, but certainly not the last – we are already looking forward to coming back.

Malindi is currently regarded as the "dead town" but in my opinion, it's the perfect escape from all sorts of pollution- Instantly replaced by the facinating historical landmarks like hell's kitchen & Mambrui in totality, peace & serene, are just some of the healing that Malindi has to offer.

If you can cook in Malindi, please cook.

If you can cook in Malindi, please cook. Chefs are also too expensive but if you are up for it, great. The customer service in Malindi is questionable, some restaurants even packing sub food as your take away. Also, the locals especially tour guides try to rip you off compared to other coastal towns, its quite annoying. Make sure you have someone who knows their way around Malindi so that you can be linked up.

Malindi town is typical of Kenya with a market, supermarket, lots of traders and as a tourist you are well served. It is a quiet safe area but restaurants tend to be quiet at night with few customers.If you want nightlife there are clubs and beach parties til 3am or later .

Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach.

Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach. Local foods like fish, calamari, prawns easily gotten-mostly in the evening. Its a 'crime' not to use a motor bike(boda boda) to tour the town on foot! Annoying whistles and hoots from the riders- just avoid eye contact! Malindi town is easy to walk around. Coffee lovers have a huge choice- kahawa tungu( peppered with cinnamon&ginger powder)- on the bench at every turn of road -or- in Italian themed coffee joints by the beach and main streets. Lo Sfizio restaurant- along Lamu road is a great one.- Malaika Restaurant- Buntwani Beach is another.

Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways. From my last visit(2023) there is an upgrade though. Need for more coffee places. The beach areas could be more cleaner. For coffee and lovely delicious snacks,go to Malaika restaurant opposite the Buntwani Beach Front. Walking is the healthiest way to move around Malindi,just don't give a visual contact with the boda boda taxis( you will ride unwillingly!) Avoid the Tikka chicken with coloured(yellow) spicing.

The information on Booking.com about Malindi is an accurate representation of what I found on site. I visited the following places: Galana Shopping Centre Vasco da Gama Pillar Portuguese Chapel Malindi Marine National Park. I occasionally ate out from a wide range of restaurants in the city centre. It was quite easy to move around Malindi and I currently have no experience of places to avoid while in Malindi.

I knew the location since that I have been living in Malindi for almost 20 years.Anyway I found the staff very friendly and helpful.Since that when there, I was not satisfied with the apartment, the owner was very cooperative and available to move me to another apartment on the upper floor which met all my expectations. The location is very quiet and it is at walking distance to the most beautiful beaches, like Rosada, White elephant and Pizza O. Night surveillance is guaranteed by the presence of staff. If back I will book it again.

Lovely hotel and spacious room. I loved the day bed on the veranda. Beautiful gardens. Staff were friendly. Nice breakfast in the mornings but the pastries were not good. The staff at the beach area were super nice. There is also a very nice shop near the breakfast area and the lady there is super! Although we have a lot of complaints we still enjoyed our stay.

The Villa is exactly as it's shown on Booking.com....the staff are friendly and polite. We enjoyed the great meals from Anderson and Linet. Ruth was also very kind to us. We really enjoyed our 3days stay. I recommend the environment to any other person going to Malindi. The beach is at a walking distance.
