    They should provide essentials like toothpast, soap toothbrush etc

    The staff were very friendly and accomodating. The owner was always around; a bonus in case the guest ecounters any problem. Althoug the property is not situated along the beach, the beach was just a 3minute walk

    It was a great time spent at Footprints. Feeling like home due to very hospital hosts, staff and incredible dogs and cats, who became our friends for these 6 days. Going to the beach or main road with cafes and shopping centre is very easy from Footprints. The territory is green and shady even with Baobab nearby. On the way to the beach you will meet lizards, monkeys and birds. The beach area here is quiet and not many people. NB. Try the food in Searenity hotel which is 50 meters down . The great service, food and ocean view costs even less than in cafes at the main road.

    No air conditionner in our room (really hot weather) but it was mentionned. No shutters, we were woken up by the sun every morning.

    Good and safe localisation, very quiet place, kind staff, wonderfull breakfast, kinds animals (3 dogs, 2 cats who live in the common parts of the guest house). We also enjoyed the pool and the beach proximity by a nice walk, seeing some Columbus Monkeys.

    As it is not beach front, although it is just 5 minutes from the beach, I needed to find another place to spend the day and go to the sea every time I wanted.

    The staff is just amazing. They also provided a taxi no pick me up at the train station and it was very easy to get there. Breakfast was delicious. The room was comfortable and big.

    We had an enchanting stay at this charming hotel! The homely atmosphere, beautiful rooms, and fantastic artwork created a delightful ambiance. The super-friendly pets and a lovely garden added to the overall charm, making it perfect for a honeymooning couple. Our hosts were quick and friendly in responding to all our requests and shared wonderful advice about the area. A heartfelt thanks for their warm hospitality. We cherish the memories created during our stay!

    There is beach access from the hotel but for a more peaceful time at the beach our hostess recommended us the Pallette Café which is perfect!

    Loved the house, the garden and the rooms. The staff was welcoming and friendly. LOVED the dogs they have. Nice breakfeast too.

    I had some difficulty locking my bedroom door but the guard was able to help me.

    Great atmosphere and amazing location. Just 2min walk from the beach along a private path, it was so easy to get around. My bed was comfy, my room had so many fans and was nice and cool. Breakfast was fine, nothing special but a good sized meal. Also I love the property pets, the sweetest dogs and cats live here. Really makes it feel like home.

    Footprints House surpassed all our expectations in every aspect. The team, including the owners and their amiable dogs and cat, played a significant role in ensuring our safety and comfort throughout our stay. The breakfast served was delicious, and the convenient location of the property was a definite bonus. Their flexibility was greatly beneficial for us. Given the value for the price, we wholeheartedly recommend Footprints House as an outstanding choice.

    What a special place! I loved the family atmosphere between the hosts, staff and other guests. The house and garden are beautiful and felt very much like a home away from home. The service was very attentive, courteous and accommodating to requests. There were two breakfast options every morning, which were lovingly prepared and very delicious. The location of the house is ideal, felt very safe and the proximity to the beach and many restaurants and bars is a big plus. If the beach is a bit too busy for you, you can always relax by the beautiful pool. You should like animals as there are a few sweet cats and dogs who are very well behaved. I had a wonderful few days at Footprints House and thank Reesha and everyone else so much. I will gladly come back!

    Some people of the staff didn’t talk with us. It’s a bit expensive for a bed and breakfast.

    They had a very good breakfast, a beautiful house and garden. We could walk on their path in around 5 minutes to the beach. They have sweet cats and dogs. The owners and some staff people are very nice.

    Not much at all.

    Loved the layout and the relaxed comfortable vibe. The room I was provided with was big and spacious with a private bathroom. Unfortunately it didn’t come with a mosquito net but I had brought one with me and the windows had nets secured to them. The staff were friendly and accommodating, lots of recommendations from the hosts in a book but they were also kind enough to share their contact number if I needed anything, it wasn’t a problem. The location was perfect, short walk to the beach and so many restaurant and cafes in walking distance or a short tuktuk ride. I had really comfortable stay. Although I was travelling solo the people I met here including the hosts were so welcoming. If and when I visit Diani again I wouldn’t hesitate booking my stay here.
