    Very clean and nice hotel. The garden with the pool is amazing, just a hidden gem. All of the staff is super friendly, a place you just want returning to. The location for us was perfect, a quiet and peaceful area. A tuk tuk should bring you downtown in few minutes at a affordable price.

    The motto is, come as a guest and leave as a friend and that's exactly how we felt. This small property in Malindi is exactly the right place to recover from Mombasa. It feels like the clocks run slower here. We received a warm welcome from Trevor and his team. Later we were also able to meet his mom, who has an interesting story. The rooms are clean and seem to have been completely renovated. The bed is spacious, has a mosquito net and a good mattress. The bathroom is big enough for two people at the same time and the shower was clean and there were no problems with the water. There was fresh water and no salt water! The room has air conditioning and a ceiling fan which cooled the room down despite the heat in March. The room is also equipped with a completely new fridge to store things. The terrace invites you to relax and take an afternoon nap. The pool in the morning and evening was also great for cooling off. Although to be fair, it hardly works in March. :) The breakfast is rich and typical of the country, with local fruits, sausage, eggs prepared according to personal wishes including toast. Plus hibiscus tea and fresh coffee or tea. It was a shame that we had to return to Mombasa after just two nights. We really felt at home. Traver and his mother do everything right here. Thank you for your lovely hospital. Hope we will be back soon.

    If you like silence, peace and mother`s care, then this is the place for you. Jeen will take care of you like her own child. We wanted pancakes for breakfast and Saidi made delicious pancakes for us. There is a romantic, beautiful rest zone and place for breakfast, dinner or lunch with nice music and lighting in evenings.

    Jean was the most hospitable host, always going out of her way to make sure everything was fine for us. Her son Trevor drove us to wherever we wanted to go and the staff were excellent, efficient and very polite. Great breakfasts. Room spacious with superb covered veranda. Superb large pool and sitting area with sunshades.

    I liked everything.

    We arrived there and we were welcomed by the house owner Mama and Said. We felt at home from the moment we stepped into White Nyumba. The next morning we had a late breakfast and my husband and I really enjoyed. Te omelette was the best we have ever tasted in our lives. Said really is an excellent Chef. From the wonderful breakfast we decide to let Said prepare our dinner too. And ofcourse he did not disappoint. He went to the fish market and bought for us fresh fish. Everything is cooked fresh from the market. We had to invite my sister, her husband and their 3 year old son to this beautiful place. It was fully booked since it was in December but one of the guests canceled and we managed to get a room for them. My sisters son really enjoyed swimming in the pool and running around the garden. The room we stayed in was spacious and even though the electricity kept going off which is very normal for Kenya, the generator kept us going. The Villa is also in a secure area and very close to Malindi town. Said would happily drive us around on his Motorbike anytime we needed to go somewhere. Lastly, the lady who owns the property was very friendly and always ready to assist. She ended up giving us a discount because we brought her more clients 😀. She is so motherly and sweet. Thank you Mama for the wonderful time we had there. We will definitely be coming back soon.

    Highly recommended place! We had better service than a 5 star hotel in Kenya. The staff was superkind they helped us a lot even they help the fixed our broken car as well. The place was peaceful and you could feel that all the place was for you. This place was not crowded and it was separated from the other guests. The accommodation is perfect for every kind of weather and it was gorgeous. They were collecting fresh flowers from the garden to our table. I also recommend you to order fresh and delicious seafood from Said the chef because he will make you a perfect and private dinner. Actually we decided to go for this accommodation because of the reviews about him, and it was totally worth it. Thank you again
