    The room got pretty hot every morning. But the temperature cooled down in the evening.

    The staff was excellent and the hotel grounds were very nice. It's walking distance from the beach and a few local shops, but you'll need a ride to go anywhere else.

    Couldn't fault anything at all :)

    I'm so glad I picked this accommodation to stay at, I've had the best time staying at this property. Couldn't fault anything, the staff are all very professional, friendly and I couldn't have felt more welcomed by everyone working at Kijani cottages :)

    Baboons attacking my wife sat by the pool. A full on attack with teeth and a swipe at my wife. Fortunately no harm done except broken plate and cup. The response to this was a shrug of the shoulder. I worry that younger children might be seriously hurt by them

    Food and drinks at reasonable prices Swimming pool cleaned throughout the day Breakfast was good Room upgrade Wifi was fairly good Cold beers Lovely environment with lots of trees

    I didn’t dislike it, but cabins are basic in style with fan, part of the charm.

    Ranch style place, great pool and monkeys everywhere, chill bar and funky lights at night.

    I loved it here. Came intending to stay for 1 night but ended up being there for 2 weeks Beautiful grounds: monkeys, butterflies and birds everywhere, great bed, lovely staff who really go out of their way to help with anything and make you feel at home. The food is delicious and always beautifully presented. Loved the pool and it's just a 5 minute walk to the beach. I loved it. It was a real home away from home and I’ll never forget these amazing people who run it and make it so great.

    There was no drinking water for free. Even for money there was only small bottle option for 100kš

    I loved the pool. It was really large. The breakfast was tasty. Beach was 10 minutes in walking distance. Buildings are in the large are with trees and funny monkeys.

    Sometimes they play loud music throughout the afternoon which can be annoying. Also the food is not the cheapest but good.

    The area is super is super calm, green and chilled. Perfect to escape the business of the beach and to relax for a couple of days. Prices are very reasonable. Also the pool is clean.

    That this place is not as popular as it should be! :) Bad lightening in bathroom (but it was minor inconvenience).

    An open and caring manager!!! :) Clean swimming pool. Clean room. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast included! Outdoor bar next to the pool. 24h security. A large green area surrounded by trees. Contact with the nature - there are monkeys, ducks and tortoises living around. :)

    The breakfast isn’t included if you are staying in the dorm even though it says it is in booking.com

    The location is great just a 10min walk from the beach. The staff are really nice. It’s a really nice place and you can see lots of different monkey in the morning. It’s a very chill place and rooms are very clean.
