Lions Eco Resort & Spa Eco Resort ★★★★
Diamonds Malindi ★★★★
"Diamonds malindi Thank you once again for the warm hospitality and exceptional service during my stay at Diamonds Malindi. The experience was truly memorable — from the beautiful atmosphere and attentive staff to the relaxing environment and outstanding customer care. Every detail was handled with professionalism and genuine kindness, making the stay both comfortable and enjoyable. The team went above and beyond to create a welcoming experience, and I truly appreciated the friendliness and dedication shown throughout my visit. The location, ambiance, and overall service exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Diamonds Malindi to anyone looking for a luxurious and peaceful getaway. I’m already looking forward to visiting again in the future. And the foood was the best I've ever had!! Thank you for making my stay so special!"
Villa Ameera 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."
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!"
Q Boutique Resort Malindi
"The atmosphere was calm, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained. The service was impeccable, with staff always attentive and welcoming. The location is excellent, being close to the Marine Park and offering easy access to the beach, which was a great advantage. The rooms are well-equipped with a variety of amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and absolutely worth the money. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway."
Sawa Sawa Beach Hotel & Backpackers ★★
"Nice place with a great ambiance. It’s within walking distance to the beach, and the staff are welcoming and friendly you might even feel like extending your stay because of how pleasant the environment is."
Silver Rock Hotel & Beachfront Apartments ★★★
"The location was prime! Beachfront stunning and beautiful, while at the same time a short tuk-tuk or boda boda ride from the centre of town where all the shops, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, nightlife and people are. A short beach stroll away you'll also find the Coco Beach Restaurant, where you can enjoy a few nice cocktails and a tasty meal while overlooking the Indian Ocean. The hotel staff were beautiful people—lovely, professional, warm and welcoming. The hotel serves a lovely breakfast that was included with my booking. There is a spa on site. The ladies who manage this are the sweetest and provide an amazing service. I had a full body massage at the beginning of my stay and it was heaven. I can’t wait to stay at Silver Rock Hotel again. My two-bedroom apartment that I shared with my partner/friend was stunning, spacious, beautiful, awesome, with a huge balcony staring into the ocean. Breathtaking views for watching the sunrise. We had a huge living room, and our individual bedrooms were spacious with large ensuites. I felt comfortable and elegant there. The hotel building is a beautiful structure, solidly and well built, and I love the style. I felt comfortable and at home there. After a busy day of touring and sightseeing, enjoying the surrounding areas and living my best life, it was a pleasure to return to the hotel, have a nice shower, sit on the balcony with my partner with a beer in hand and have a nice chat, while listening to the ocean lapping the shore and feeling the gentle wind blowing—soft and warm, yet cool. Silver Rock is poetry. Nearby there is plenty to do, as I mentioned above, but I'd like to give a quick mention to the marine conservation area, where you can visit and arrange sea-based activities. Also along the coast the ocean can change dramatically, so go searching for those crystal clear waters and soft, beautiful sands—they are there and you will find them. Go find the inviting beach bars that I discovered with my companions, where you can laze all day, sip cocktails and look out to sea, chat about nonsense as we did, take a nap on a sunbed under an umbrella, wake, sip and chat some more. Silver Rock is a destination in and of itself, but on top of that it is more than a base—it is a comfortable home from where you can explore. xx P.S. Yes, there is a beautiful pool for a nice, refreshing morning dip, set in stunning, well-maintained gardens—perfect for idling and just the right place for tucking into a holiday book."
Exploreans Beach Club & Villas Watamu ★★★
"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."
Kenyan House Malindi ★★★
"I had the pleasure of bringing a group of 8 guests to Kenyan House in Malindi, and I can confidently say it exceeded our expectations. As a travel agent, I’m always particular about the properties I recommend, and this one truly delivered. The rooms were beautifully done, spacious, well-lit, spotlessly clean, and equipped with air conditioning. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared for our stay. We had also requested a special birthday setup for one of our guests, with “Happy Birthday Samantha” beautifully arranged on the bed — and the team absolutely nailed it! 🎂✨ It was such a lovely personal touch. The kitchen was beautifully furnished and well equipped, the lounge and sitting areas were comfortable, and the swimming pool was fully operational — including at night, which gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy a late-night swim. 🏊🏽♀️🌙 What impressed me most was the attention to cleanliness and detail throughout the property. My guests genuinely enjoyed their stay, and I enjoyed it so much myself that I ended up extending my stay by two extra nights! As an agent, I would happily recommend Kenyan House to clients looking for a comfortable, beautiful, and well-maintained home away from home in Malindi. The hosts were wonderful, the property delivered, and my group left with nothing but great memories. ❤️ Definitely a place I’d be happy to book again"

Lion in the Sun Boutique Hotel & Spa
Ocean Beach Resort & Spa
"The environment is clean and well kept with cool breeze from the ocean.The waiters have excellent customer service especially Festus who served us. The sea food was delicious and well presented. However, there were no varieties of wines."
Kilili Baharini Resort & Spa
"Terrible experience. We were robbed in our room at night and received no protection from the hotel. The building itself is beautiful but a bit rundown; the shower doors are old, and the air conditioning is very noisy. The hotel management was arrogant given the bad experience. We felt violated and feared for our children. We were promised an insurance reimbursement, which never arrived. Avoid."
Johari Villas
Kijani Apartments Malindi

"We loved this hotel, huge (and I mean huge) rooms, lovely staff, great location and the best sea water swimming pool I have ever been in!

Huge thank you you to Bronson for taking the time to try and teach my wife to ride a bike as well! Its the little things like this that make a good hotel ''great''!"
