"I enjoyed my stay. The rooms were clean and spacious. I also like the breakfast options served on both days. It's not far from the beach."

Diamonds Malindi ★★★★

📍 Casuarina Rd, Malindi

"The restaurant team. Bravo bravo bravo. I couldn't wait for meal times just for the warm greetings and the warm interactions. My bad for not getting names but I'd definitely be back because of the restaurant service team. The guy who does gymnastics in the pool my mum is greatful as well(he was off on Monday we couldn't say goodbye. The security guard who received us when we came and most time guarded us when we were at the beach( brilliant young light man). Shaban thank you for the suprise cocktails. Just a little improvement at check in. Give all necessary details especially for first time guests."

Villa Ameera Malindi
7.6 (136 reviews)

Villa Ameera Malindi ★★★★

📍 Frangipani Road, Malindi

"The hotel offered no food or drinks, the air conditioning was incredibly noisy (like a tractor), and it was a ten-minute walk to buy a bottle of water in a very remote location. Plus, it didn't support Glovo."

Exploreans Beach Club & Villas Watamu
9.7 (2 reviews)

Exploreans Beach Club & Villas Watamu ★★★

📍 Mayungu Road, Malindi

"The hotel is fantastic!!! We absolutely loved it! We initially booked for one day, but then decided to extend it for another day. It's best to buy an all-inclusive package, as the hotel is located far from amenities. But if you're traveling with a group or on your honeymoon, this is perfect. The staff is polite and friendly, the food is delicious, the amenities are excellent, and of course, the price is great. The only thing I might not like is the hot water. It's warm, perfect for showering during the day, but cool in the evening."

Sawa Sawa Beach Hotel & Backpackers
7.3 (3 reviews)

Sawa Sawa Beach Hotel & Backpackers ★★

📍 Q4PF+7G7, Malindi

"Male owner 1am banging on the door I sleep, screaming my name. Ranting about me I think I am big cause I have lots of money, saying he is my boss. Pushing an alarm to call police. I said I happily go, only repay remaining day that is not used. He said it was paid, I say not, show me. He could not, and walk away in shame. I then ask the guard, what was the problem with this man,. I was told he was angry for me turning off a lamp (cause I enjoy sleeping in darkness). Himself had said some days before, cause lights were kept on in one room and I wanted to change room cause of this, that "after tonight no lamps will be turned on, no need to change room". Anyway handling a simple matter as this 1am kicking me out night time, I think relates to deeper issues concerning running the establishment and his frustrations of so. Revenge belongs to God. For me, someone disturbing me sleeping, is sacred as if being disturbed doing prayers, unless a life threatening situation, they have no respect for life."

The Lawford Kenya
8.1 (16 reviews)

The Lawford Kenya ★★★

📍 lamu road, Malindi

"Large and nicely decorated rooms. The garden is beautiful with direct access to the long beach. The staff in the restaurant was very friendly and the food excellent. We had grilled lobster and finished our meal with mango ice cream. I will surely come back!"

Diamonds Malindi ★★★★
"The room had old-fashioned wooden furniture, no TV, a small refrigerator, and no slippers provided. You had to ask the staff at the front desk for toothbrushes. There were quite a few small insects, especially flies; they would even eat while you were eating. The hotel wasn't large, but the environment was quite comfortable."

The Lawford Kenya ★★★
"Arriving at Lawford is a unique experience in itself. The typical local roof, which overlooks the reception area and leads to the lush garden, is a work of art. The villas and rooms are spread out amidst the greenery, so you never feel like you're in a crowded hotel. The restaurant's cuisine, with its Italian flair, is truly worth it. The two large pools surrounded by greenery are very pleasant (and always clean). I stayed in a villa: a private pool and elegant Kenyan-style furnishings made for a super vacation!"

Kilili Baharini Resort & Spa ★★★★
"We had an unforgettable holiday! We toured a lot around Malindi and Watamu but we have no doubts in reviewing the Kiliili as the most beautiful structure! We were immediately welcomed by the owners with great kindness and availability in helping to organize excursions and everything we wanted. The entire staff, starting from Mary the director, is unique in terms of courtesy and attention to the guest. The rooms are beautiful. The food is excellent and above all the wonderful beach. A unique panorama made even more beautiful by the people who run the Kiliili. We will certainly be back Francesca"
