Still my favorite vacation spot. Everything is spotlessly clean, the staff is attentive,jovial and warm led by George and James. The food is delicious, fresh and plenty. (compliments to the chef). Breakfast served to order was great, lots of fresh fruits and salads included in breakfast and dinner. Alex does everything to make all guests feel special. The complimentary birthday cake presented by the staff while singing and dancing was the highlight of my holiday. See you again next year😀

The good part of this place is the location. We had friends that stayed at beach resorts who were just constantly approched on the beach and even sat in their resort outside. We had no problems as its hidden on a nice street away from the sellers but still a 1k cab ride if you do want to be on the beach. The roomswere spotless and as its a brandnew hotel you can tell that nothing has been used. I am sure no one had slept in the bed before I stayed there and its obvious. Mosiqutos plugs in all the rooms and air con switched on so when we arrived it was cool and insect free. Its a boutique hotel so unlike those massive resorts we get served and any request is quick. Food was great and lots of choices of accomodation styles for solo travellers, couples and families.

All the staff were very nice and discret. And arranged with whatever I needed during my stay. The property is basic but has everything you need to sleep and wash. The roof top is really comfortable with WiFi. The restaurant is there if you don’t want to go out and has a nice sunset. I tried the omelet and sausage in the morning it was very yummy. Depends on the price but if you get a good price, it will be a good deal.

    Malindi is currently regarded as the "dead town" but in my opinion, it's the perfect escape from all sorts of pollution- Instantly replaced by the facinating historical landmarks like hell's kitchen & Mambrui in totality, peace & serene, are just some of the healing that Malindi has to offer.

    If you can cook in Malindi, please cook.

    If you can cook in Malindi, please cook. Chefs are also too expensive but if you are up for it, great. The customer service in Malindi is questionable, some restaurants even packing sub food as your take away. Also, the locals especially tour guides try to rip you off compared to other coastal towns, its quite annoying. Make sure you have someone who knows their way around Malindi so that you can be linked up.

    Malindi town is typical of Kenya with a market, supermarket, lots of traders and as a tourist you are well served. It is a quiet safe area but restaurants tend to be quiet at night with few customers.If you want nightlife there are clubs and beach parties til 3am or later .

    Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach.

    Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach. Local foods like fish, calamari, prawns easily gotten-mostly in the evening. Its a 'crime' not to use a motor bike(boda boda) to tour the town on foot! Annoying whistles and hoots from the riders- just avoid eye contact! Malindi town is easy to walk around. Coffee lovers have a huge choice- kahawa tungu( peppered with cinnamon&ginger powder)- on the bench at every turn of road -or- in Italian themed coffee joints by the beach and main streets. Lo Sfizio restaurant- along Lamu road is a great one.- Malaika Restaurant- Buntwani Beach is another.

    Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways.

    Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways. From my last visit(2023) there is an upgrade though. Need for more coffee places. The beach areas could be more cleaner. For coffee and lovely delicious snacks,go to Malaika restaurant opposite the Buntwani Beach Front. Walking is the healthiest way to move around Malindi,just don't give a visual contact with the boda boda taxis( you will ride unwillingly!) Avoid the Tikka chicken with coloured(yellow) spicing.

    The information on Booking.com about Malindi is an accurate representation of what I found on site. I visited the following places: Galana Shopping Centre Vasco da Gama Pillar Portuguese Chapel Malindi Marine National Park. I occasionally ate out from a wide range of restaurants in the city centre. It was quite easy to move around Malindi and I currently have no experience of places to avoid while in Malindi.

    We loved absolutely everything about Villa Malindi. The villa, the rooms, the pool, the whole atmosphere, the food and the free laundry service option. Alex and George, as well as other staff were amazing. Alex was in touch with every guest of the villa in the morning and at dinner, asking if we needed anything, advised on where to go to see the best beaches and sightseeing, arranged the car when we needed. Honestly, that was the best stay in Kenya and was a cherry on top in the end of our big 4-week trip.

    Just… Paradise! Originally booked the property for a one week stay, but decided to extend for another week. Located literally a minute from the beach. But not only that, the highly maintained grounds, beautiful location and fantastic swimming pools. The property is just a short TukTuk ride away from many good restaurants and a peaceful haven away from the chaos of the town. Ideal for short breaks, or like me, extended or long breaks, I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

    The Villa is exactly as it's shown on Booking.com....the staff are friendly and polite. We enjoyed the great meals from Anderson and Linet. Ruth was also very kind to us. We really enjoyed our 3days stay. I recommend the environment to any other person going to Malindi. The beach is at a walking distance.

    Everything, the big space in the main room. Spacious and clean bathroom an adequate kitchen for at least making breakfast, we didn’t cook. The patio with the breeze and view of the sea and the proximity to our favourite beach restaurant in Malindi. This place is perfect and we will definitely be back.
