Booked my stay very late in the night but the host was kind enough to have the caretaker direct us and wait for our arrival. The house was very homely, clean sheets very good pillow. I literally blacked out!

From the moment I stepped into this hotel, I felt something different — a sense of peace, beauty, and warmth that I did not find anywhere else in Malindi. Everything here is spotless, fresh, and beautifully designed with an authentic African touch that immediately captured my heart. The staff are not just professional, they are genuinely kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The manager and the owner went above and beyond to assist us, even arranging our trip to Lamu. Their kindness and hospitality made us feel truly at home. The atmosphere is calm, relaxing, and simply perfect for anyone who wants to recharge. The swimming pools are sparkling clean, stylish, and luxurious. Every corner of the hotel is thoughtfully created — from the cozy seating areas for peaceful evenings to the delightful scent of freshness everywhere. And let me not forget — the food and breakfast were absolutely delicious, far better than what I expected. This hotel is not just a place to stay, it’s a place to experience. It touched my heart, and I will definitely come back. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Malindi.

The experience at this BnB on Silver Sands Beach was nothing short of amazing. Patrick was kind enough to check in from time to time and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out. Jemimah was incredibly helpful throughout our month-long stay, often going above and beyond. I really appreciated the weekly complimentary drinking water and fresh fruit juice upon check-in. There’s no washer, but for a small fee, laundry is done for you within a day. The place itself feels newly renovated and comes with two TVs—the one in the living room also supports AirPlay. The WiFi speed was impressive, reaching up to 100 Mbps, which is unheard of on the coast, and it was mostly consistent. The compound is peaceful, filled with birds chirping and breezy palm trees. It also features a huge saltwater pool and an amazing beach with not too many beach boys. The beach is literally just outside the gate—perfect for romantic sunset walks or morning runs. Several beachfront restaurants keep life interesting when you’re not in the mood to cook. If you prefer to cook, fresh produce can be purchased from Naivas, just 2.5 km away, accessible via a short tuk-tuk ride. The ceiling fans were quiet and provided enough cooling throughout the day and night, though we mostly didn’t use them since the breeze flowing through the apartment was sufficient. Overall, 10 out of 10—I’d return in a heartbeat!
