Poor

Easy access to Malindi

The description, photos of the property are far from reality. It's an extremely noisy and slummy area. Not a booking com standard. It might be good for locals in transit looking for a cheap place to sleep but not for international travellers. The staff (Kazungu?) is nice, tried to make it up but it can not be...By the morning the bathroom got flooded

Mediocre

Location was alright. Lots of useful shops nearby - restaurants, pharmacies, etc. Owner was very friendly.

Super loud though - the traffic noise every vehicle passing by the street was amplified. On top of that, there is giant dump nearby where tons of trash is burned. Air quality isn't great. The room is tiny and probably the worst hotel I've stayed in. The shower is cold. The drain doesn't drain all the way. One of the staff charged me 3000 Kenyan shillings (about $24 USD) for laundry. I shouldn't have overpaid, but he jacked the price up on me because I'd already gone through all my bags and sorted my laundary. He laundry according to my instructions and didn't shrink anything. However, he returned it to me wet still. (It was supposed to air dry outside and had started to rain. They didn't have dryers.) I had to spend the following day re-hanging everything in my room. When that didn't dry it, I had to re-hang it on the clothes line outside. Then the door to the roof where my clothes were hanging were re-locked twice by other staff. Turned into a real pain in the butt, on top of getting ripped off.

I highly recommend!

Amazing staff! Great location- close to the main road and transport! Excellent wifi. Very safe - night guard, security cameras and 24/7 working reception!

My room didnt have a kitchen, but they have fridge at the reception that I could use and a bakery 2min walking distance where I could have freshly baked breakfast.

It was fine

Friendly owner and staff, location (in the middle between city center and Bamburu beach). Good quality for 11 USD / night. My first accomodation in Kenya with a fan :-)
