For the price this place was really great. It was a little hard to find but they reach out and give you contact details ahead of time. Its in a really central location but still quiet. Place was very clean and room was large. Had a shared bathroom which was cleaned often. Was only slightly more than a hostel but definitely a step up

Right in the center of the Stone Town alleys and walking distance to the old fortress, this apartment probably has one of the best locations in the whole town. Hosts was great to communicate with. The apartment is really much bigger than we would have thought from the pictures. Beds are comfy and both ac and ceiling fans works very well.

We’re so happy for the choice we made for booking this guest house! It is just beautiful. Staff was lovely and very friendly and the breakfast they served a very full and healthy meal. There’s also a lovely rooftop where they serve the breakfast but you can also use the space to chill during the day and night. We actually decided on staying a couple more nights because of how much we liked it! Highly recommend Malindi !
