Everything exceeded our expectations in every way... The property is absolutely beautiful; the pool, the shaded relaxing areas and the bedroom which was extremely spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail was amazing; from the lovely sunbeds with pillows and towels provided to the complimentary snacks and welcome drinks. The breakfast was fantastic and Saidi the chef also cooked a great fish dinner. Cannot rate highly enough and will definitely return. Thank you Jean for a great stay.

An amazing place – intimate, full of charm and character. Perfect if you’re looking for something authentic rather than a big resort for mass tourism. The staff is very welcoming, warm and always ready to help you. We highly recommend.

The hosts at Petit Paradise were super accommodating and always quick to respond — usually within an hour. The place is about a 7-minute tuk-tuk ride to the city center, and it’s not expensive at all. I recommend finding one good driver and sticking with them — we used Ahmed Zahor, who was suggested by the hosts and was great. It’s also just a short 7-minute walk to the beach. Beautiful views and overall amazing value for the money!

I recently stayed at this apartment and had a great experience. The location is excellent, situated near the airport, the shopping center, and just a short distance from the beach, making my stay even more enjoyable. The host was incredible and very helpful. The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I would highly recommend it.

The breakfast had great options- they had all kinds of selections even for vegetarians. This was awesome, given the affordability of the rooms (the rooms are quite spacious by the way). The location was close to most important amenities as well as the airport and they had a dedicated reception service at most times of the day in case you need assistance. LOVED the in house restaurant. The check in was smooth and Dezzlyne made our stay even more comfortable with her top recommendations of activities and nightlife.

This hotel is a true paradise, offering a tranquil atmosphere and the most incredible staff I've ever encountered. I was upgraded to an exceptionally clean and beautiful room, which felt out of this world. It's the best place to stay in Malindi, offering both safety and serenity. My experience was fantastic; I can't think of anything negative to say. I loved the peacefulness, especially compared to other tourist-heavy spots. The hotel is affordable, and the food is delicious, with an amazing breakfast.

good location for the 2 nights we spent there in Malindi. about a 5-10 minute walk to the Alaskan market. No backup generator when the power cut out which is normal but the heat was unbearable without the AC, which worked perfectly when power was available.

The airbnb was very nice and spacious. The indoor plants added freshness to the space. The decor was topnotch (the lighting and art on the walls). Had a nice balcony with the perfect view...the location of the airbnb was also good the quietness and the ashoka trees created a nice view.
