AngusRating, 5 stars7 months ago
My stay in Watamu, with my two friends, was very lovely. Yasmin, Antonio, and Mary made our stay very comfortable with their warm personalities and responsiveness to any queries we had throughout our visit. This was much appreciated when we needed assistance with things in the house. The open plan feel of the apartment with the strong breeze was something of a lifeline in the heat by the Indian Ocean and the effective A/C in all bedrooms was a blessing. The pool was clean and also very quiet which made mornings and evenings very peaceful to swim. The apartment is very well located and is just 5minutes, if that, to Watamu beach and also positioned close to the bank and nearby shops. I will be staying here again if and when I am on the coast, Gus (UK 23-29/08/24)

NjambiRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Stayed with family including 5 kids under 11 years. We had a wonderful time! The pictures truly don't do the house justice. The kids (and adults too!) spent most of the time in the pool. The beach is a 5 mins walk away where we got excursions to Malindi marine park. But what made this stay so enjoyable for us was the staff (Phillip, Janet, Eric and James) who really made us feel welcome and went out of their way to make us comfortable. Highly recommend staying here!

SophieRating, 5 stars11 months ago
I really enjoyed my stay at Gianni's place! It is located in a very good area in Watamu and close to everything. I also loved the fact that it is so private. The house itself is also very nice. The kitchen supplies are maybe a bit basic without a kettle/toaster. But nothing to be worried about. Every night there is a night guard, which gave me a safe feeling. Although he doesn't speak English which sometimes caused some language barriers. The owner Gianni was always very responsive and easy to communicate with! Thank you for a great stay!

We had a wonderful holiday at Dhow House. A great location, only a few minutes walk from the beach. Kids loved the pool and using the top deck for meals was also special! Thanks

EdwinRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our stay at Daniela's place was great, the house and rooms are beautifully decorated and professionally cleaned by the staff everyday. We also enjoyed the large spacious garden, the friendly dogs and the pool for relaxing in. We were well taken care of by the chef and the rest of the staff who made our stay very comfortable and helped with everything we needed. The location is also decent with it not being far from restaurants and other attractions in Malindi town as well as the beach and beach restaurants. Overall, I'd say it's a good option if you're looking for a place to stay on holiday in Malindi.

ChristineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Everything about our stay at wild gecko was amazing. Our family enjoyed swimming all day long, we relished the privacy of the location. The airbnb has a cleaner who kept the space clean and neat, the ambience was so refreshing, I will definitely be back! maybe for a solo trip next. Doris was responsive and helpful throughout, she got us a cook who did the best swahili dishes

Erena was a wondeful host who assisted in all manners from pre booking to being around when we needed as well with ideas for what to do and planning meals. The place was lushes and green and so peaceful and loved the loveable furry friends being around which made it feel real homey. Really enjoy my stay and I will return for sure with more friends as it is big enough

Villa Natasha Jua is part of a complex called Rafiki Tamu; sets of villas around private pools. The staff are lovely and we used a private chef, Winnie, to BBQ red snapper. We had. lovely time. This villa is upstairs and benefits from a breeze too. Delightful
