Very nice, family owned house with only a couple of rooms. We had the pool and garden all for ourselves. It´s a cozy place to relax, don´t expect a resort or party hotel.

Villa Malindi was an exceptional experience for myself, my wife and my 13 year old son. Alexander is an incredible host with an extensive knowledge of all of the best places to go and activities to do in Malindi and surrounding area. He is also extremely well connected with local business owners and activity providers, and he made sure our outings were well planned, memorable and personalised to our individual interests. I cannot recommend Villa Malindi enough, and cannot wait to visit again.

An amazing place – intimate, full of charm and character. Perfect if you’re looking for something authentic rather than a big resort for mass tourism. The staff is very welcoming, warm and always ready to help you. We highly recommend.

The location is fantastic and the house was homely, very quiet, well aerated with privacy. It was comfortable and had everything that we needed. The pool was fantastic and for the price you pay, we'll definitely be back. Great place to stay. The host Grace was very responsive and helpful throughout. It is located in a quiet and peaceful area, perfect for unwinding.

The breakfast had great options- they had all kinds of selections even for vegetarians. This was awesome, given the affordability of the rooms (the rooms are quite spacious by the way). The location was close to most important amenities as well as the airport and they had a dedicated reception service at most times of the day in case you need assistance. LOVED the in house restaurant. The check in was smooth and Dezzlyne made our stay even more comfortable with her top recommendations of activities and nightlife.

This hotel is a true paradise, offering a tranquil atmosphere and the most incredible staff I've ever encountered. I was upgraded to an exceptionally clean and beautiful room, which felt out of this world. It's the best place to stay in Malindi, offering both safety and serenity. My experience was fantastic; I can't think of anything negative to say. I loved the peacefulness, especially compared to other tourist-heavy spots. The hotel is affordable, and the food is delicious, with an amazing breakfast.

good location for the 2 nights we spent there in Malindi. about a 5-10 minute walk to the Alaskan market. No backup generator when the power cut out which is normal but the heat was unbearable without the AC, which worked perfectly when power was available.

The airbnb was very nice and spacious. The indoor plants added freshness to the space. The decor was topnotch (the lighting and art on the walls). Had a nice balcony with the perfect view...the location of the airbnb was also good the quietness and the ashoka trees created a nice view.
