Superb setting with stunning communal areas adorned with beautiful scented white flower trees. The rooms were super clean and the staff were truly exceptional and a huge asset to the property. They were most attentive and remained at our disposal throughout the days and nights of our stay. Shiela, Happy,Rosemary and Gakena will live long in our memories of our stay at this oasis. The warmest of smiles and happy to help demeanour will take some beating wherever you stay in the wold. Malindi is a hidden gem and in my opinion this hotel is by far the best in the area. Be sure to try the Hob restaurant which is close by.

All the staff were very nice and discret. And arranged with whatever I needed during my stay. The property is basic but has everything you need to sleep and wash. The roof top is really comfortable with WiFi. The restaurant is there if you don’t want to go out and has a nice sunset. I tried the omelet and sausage in the morning it was very yummy. Depends on the price but if you get a good price, it will be a good deal.

    Malindi is currently regarded as the "dead town" but in my opinion, it's the perfect escape from all sorts of pollution- Instantly replaced by the facinating historical landmarks like hell's kitchen & Mambrui in totality, peace & serene, are just some of the healing that Malindi has to offer.

    If you can cook in Malindi, please cook.

    If you can cook in Malindi, please cook. Chefs are also too expensive but if you are up for it, great. The customer service in Malindi is questionable, some restaurants even packing sub food as your take away. Also, the locals especially tour guides try to rip you off compared to other coastal towns, its quite annoying. Make sure you have someone who knows their way around Malindi so that you can be linked up.

    Malindi town is typical of Kenya with a market, supermarket, lots of traders and as a tourist you are well served. It is a quiet safe area but restaurants tend to be quiet at night with few customers.If you want nightlife there are clubs and beach parties til 3am or later .

    Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach.

    Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach. Local foods like fish, calamari, prawns easily gotten-mostly in the evening. Its a 'crime' not to use a motor bike(boda boda) to tour the town on foot! Annoying whistles and hoots from the riders- just avoid eye contact! Malindi town is easy to walk around. Coffee lovers have a huge choice- kahawa tungu( peppered with cinnamon&ginger powder)- on the bench at every turn of road -or- in Italian themed coffee joints by the beach and main streets. Lo Sfizio restaurant- along Lamu road is a great one.- Malaika Restaurant- Buntwani Beach is another.

    Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways. From my last visit(2023) there is an upgrade though. Need for more coffee places. The beach areas could be more cleaner. For coffee and lovely delicious snacks,go to Malaika restaurant opposite the Buntwani Beach Front. Walking is the healthiest way to move around Malindi,just don't give a visual contact with the boda boda taxis( you will ride unwillingly!) Avoid the Tikka chicken with coloured(yellow) spicing.

    The information on Booking.com about Malindi is an accurate representation of what I found on site. I visited the following places: Galana Shopping Centre Vasco da Gama Pillar Portuguese Chapel Malindi Marine National Park. I occasionally ate out from a wide range of restaurants in the city centre. It was quite easy to move around Malindi and I currently have no experience of places to avoid while in Malindi.

    My stay was just fantastic.The golden sand beach which is just a minute walk away from the apartment. The greenery well kept garden was very nice. The staff were so welcoming and not forgetting Mr Peter,the host who was very helpful,he sorted all our queries with immediate effect. The interesting part is that the apartments are located inside Ocean Beach Resort,which is a 5 star hotel on Malindi. We accessed the restaurant which offered very delicious meals. We really enjoyed our stay and will sure be back again.

    I had a wonderful stay at Saffron Garden. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby attractions, such as the falconry camp, the Malindi museum, and the Vasco da Gama pillar. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious, especially the scrambled eggs. I also loved the garden, the art, and the vibes of this magical place. I highly recommend Saffron Garden to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience in the Kenyan Riviera.

    First of all, the pictures don’t do this place justice! It is even more beautiful in person.The modernized touches of the home were beautiful. The blue complimenting the vibe of the white paint, the staff who help us with everything we needed and the price point being affordable. This was a villa I will definitely be coming back to when I’m in Malindi. The fact that it’s also close to supermarkets and has a beachfront makes it 1000% more lovable.

    The neighborhood is posh, quiet and very beautiful. Green walkways with the breathtaking coastal summer feel in the air. Walking to the beach during sunset was the highlight of my stay. Great location, convenient for me to take the unforgettable boat excursion in Malindi Marine park to the beautiful Sardinia island. The whole stay felt like a dream. Definitely coming back! The experience is truly great than what's portrayed on the pictures.

    Peaceful, beautiful and comfortable little resort. Safe place and no outsiders at the site. Good beach to swim when the water is high. Short distance to the services of the town and a tuktuk always available for a reasonable price.
