We didn't get the room we saw pictures from online and booked. We slept in a room that was an area of the living room closed of by just a plywood board. But for the amount we payed I can't really complain about that.

The balcony and garden were super nice and the staff was very nice.

If you book for 2 nights including breakfast you should get 2times breakfast! This was not provided even when we asked. The bathroom what’s also not really clean. There is also no restaurant at the hostel.

The breakfast was good. The cleaning lady was also very nice.

The apartment was just a large room, WITHOUT ensuite. Bathroom had no warm water but Pam helped with hot water in a bucket.

The bed was comfortable with good mosquito net. Staff were accommodating, especially Pamela, the cook. Tom arranged a good driver for me. The house has the character of a 1950s bungalow, which I liked.

Definitely need a good clean, everywhere - bathrooms, kitchen and the dorm rooms need more air flow. Location is far from most things.

Wifi was strong. Bed was comfortable. Balcony is relaxing.

Need to take a tuk tuk for any place you want to go. Paid $550 US for a month in fancy room. I was told I would get money back but no refund when I had dorm to myself for the first two weeks. Other people had discounts for various reasons. Guess I was the one chosen to support the orphans who live in a different building. No patter of tiny feet.

Ritzy, safe Nyali (suburb of Mombasa) neighborhood. Two weeks later, when I finally was in the fancy room, it was large, well lit and had a balcony with chair and desk. Upstairs bathroom has a working shower.

Very electrically challenged with almost no plug ins. Windows could not be closed and mosquito netting was not adequate so had to use DEET and a mosquito head net to sleep. The location is very out of the way and I moved the next night to downtown Mombassa where I found a cheap hotel as there are no hostels on the island.

I had a dorm room all to myself which was nice. There were many other interesting travellers to meet.

Kitchen was very dirty :( The place has a great potential - keep it clean! :)

Nice colonial building, specious double room with a nice tarace. Simple breakfast was included. Staff was very nice, there is living room area where you can meet other backpakers and have a chat. Part of the profit goes to charity, they support local schools.

Location from the beach is a bit far.

The host Tom was accomodating and helpful:). The wifi great. The place is clean and organized. Kitchen is well stocked. Shops are close. Would definitely visit again.

Have to catch transport to go anywhere: beach or town. Also, think I may have been bitten by bed bugs and mosquito nets had loads of entrances for mosquitos.

They changed my price when I got there because they told me that the price in Booking was wrong. Thus, what I had to do was negotiate the price because it was too late to find another place to stay.

It is clean and the staff is very nice.

There was no Warm water my Garbage was not taken out throughout my entire stay at the facility

The host was kind and went out of his way to organize transport for me when I was checking out. The distance of the place to the ocean and other places was really Ideal.

I didn't like the fact that there were facilities to cook but was denied and had to buy ready food with no option of being offered catering service even at an extra cost was disappointing and travelling with my family had made inquiries about the same since it was really key issue.

The staff, the serine environment and facilities were amazing. The location near the beaches was also commendable though an option for swimming pool facility that can be associated with the place is also a point to note down.

Bathroom could be cleaner, but it was ok.

The staff and the whole hostel especially the balcony😁

breakfast was a bit late and you need to take a tuktuk to go somewhere and sometimes you need to wait a bit to get one as there is not a lot in the area. but still very good quality-price

very good hostel for cheap price, comfy bed, shower and toilet good, breakfast in the morning and there is a balcony up. the staff is really helpful and kind, they even help us to remove the small hunt in the bed, all gone !

The bathroom sink wasn't really overflowing with water. The shower was good though

There's no breakfast. Nice, quiet location, not far from a very popular, everyday life area, but not close to the beach.
