    We informed the staff that there should be serious work on the water pipes and water pressure as the issue has been preventing water in the shower to run properly. If the owner's dog has a bad night, sleep can suffer.

    This was our second visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the quietness and beauty of the place. African House is a very special place thanks to the utmost care being taken to curate the surroundings and make it like a museal place. For anyone enjoying a retreat away from the hassle of urban life, that's it.

    Loved the peace and quiet. The aircon was great on really hot days. The staff were so friendly and accomodating special mention to Mombasa a lovely guy!

    It was a bit expensive for my budget given that it is quite far from the beach and the wifi had troubles working at the start but overall it was well worth it and a great stay.

    wonderful staff, especially the security gentleman, the housekeeping and Mr. Mombasa and Steven. Thank you all so much for having me. This place is very quiet and chill, and once the wifi started working well was great. Wonderful room as well and very comfortable and nice place.

    Our stay at African House was the best stay during our six weeks of travelling in Kenya. The beauty of this place has been praised by others and needs no further additions. There is no other place which we have found so conducive to rest and read. We also enjoyed the perfect atmosphere and surroundings at the resort for reflection and conversations. While we dislike most of the resort typical ambiente of beach hotels, African House has a character of its own, away from beach tourism, and we were barely tempted to leave it during the week of our stay there.

    The bed was too hard. Otherwise everything was fine.

    Great to sleep in a place that felt like a private museum of local arts and relics. Big toilet. Great breakfast.

    I would suggest that the management needs to consider asking the guests where they would like to have their breakfast. I would have liked the possibility of having the breakfast at the comfort of my room, and not having to go to the restaurant.

    The breakfast was wonderful. There was a variety to pick from and at the end of it, we were satisfied. And the personnel serving was friendly and helpful.

    Water pressure in the bathroom can use a bit of an upgrade. Because it’s away from the beach, lunch and breakfast at the restaurant can be too hot. But this is not a déterrant

    It’s an oasis of beautiful gardens with very spacious and comfortable rooms and a great pool. But what struck us the most is the level of service and kindness we received from everyone. It’s beyond anything we have experienced on the coast.
