Hotels in Kenya

Villa Malindi was an exceptional experience for myself, my wife and my 13 year old son. Alexander is an incredible host with an extensive knowledge of all of the best places to go and activities to do in Malindi and surrounding area. He is also extremely well connected with local business owners and activity providers, and he made sure our outings were well planned, memorable and personalised to our individual interests. I cannot recommend Villa Malindi enough, and cannot wait to visit again.

The owners - Joyce and Claude - are extremely friendly. They made us feel at home from the beggining. They helped us with everything - transport from airport, organizing Safari trips, buyin food (they have a shop as well) ... Joyce is also a very good cook - her food is tasty and, even more important, we didn't have any stomach problems during our stay (which is quite rare in Africa). Their prices are also reasonable. Clear 10/10.

The staff was exceptionally friendly, creating a welcoming and homey atmosphere. The space is incredibly cozy, with freshly renovated rooms that offer modern comfort. Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, it feels like a little oasis of tranquility in the heart of the city.

Couldn’t recommend more! Really welcoming guests, lovely food, great facilities, and in good location.

Wonderfull place, nice and quiet, cozy room, all the amenities you need, nothing fancy og flashy but makes you feel at home. All staff is very kind, sweet and helpfull, and generously helped me with both early check-in and late check-out.. The pool area is set in a lovely garden, where you can easily spend days, if you don’t want to plunge in the ocean (or when it is low tide). Hope to come back.

We didn’t just stay at this hotel ,we experienced it.We got the best hospitality. From the moment we stepped through the doors until the last minute of checking out.We even got some freshly baked cookies and a beautiful handmade decor piece as appreciation gifts. The staff, not just polite but happy to assist/help and ever smiling. The location is fantastic.The gym ,laundry room,swimming pool area,the deck,the food ,just perfect. I would rate the hotel 11/10 if possible.

My husband and I visited for our 2nd anniversary and it was amazing. The safaris were amazing, the camp is located on a private conservancy, so the game viewing is exceptional. We saw a wide variety of animals, including all the big five (except the elusive leopard). Reuben was our guide and he was great, so knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly! The tents were great as well, I loved being woken up by the hippos at dawn. Caleb took care of our tent and made sure we were very comfortable throughout. The masseuse at the Spa was amazing as well, got a great deep tissue massage after a long day out on the Mara. We loved the food, they had a wide range of options to suit all palettes, Francis took care of us during meals throughout our stay, he was excellent. We unfortunately didn’t pack any warm clothes, (we didn’t expect it to be as cold as it was) but there were blankets in all the game drive vehicles and they were a life saver! Caleb also warmed up our bed with a hot water bottle every night.

An unforgettable stay! The room was spotless and beautifully designed, the food was absolutely delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Q Boutique Resort is a true gem in Malindi, we can’t wait to come back!

We had a great time here. It was a great deal for the money we paid. It's a bit remote but that's the good thing about it. The staff was very welcoming even though we were the only guests that night so they had to work only because of us. We got a welcome drink which was nice. The cottages are large, high ceilings, lots of windows to see the surrounding area but all of them have curtains as well. Hot shower, nice bathroom. Comfortable beds with thermofors ready for us. And a baby cot ready for our little son. There is a kettle in the room and they also prepared a thermos with hot water for us. The breakfast was also good, various options to choose from. One tip. If you use Google maps to get here, they currently take you a long and a bit steep unpaved road from the south west. But it's better to come from the north east where the Google currently shows the road is interrupted. In fact it is not and it's perfectly passable.

It was a great location overseeing the valley. And the Maasai Mara park. I had an incredible dinner. The best goat of my life. The people were also super nice. We went for a Nature walk which was lovely. Even after having seen the Governors camp in the paek. It was so cool as we could WALK and not drive between the Zebras and Gnus.

We were amazed by the hospitality, the service, the delicious meal for dinner and the breakfast. The hotel has spacious rooms and a beautiful garden.
