Absolutely amazing!! By far one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The staff is amazing. The retreat is gorgeous. The food is impeccable. The rooms are massive and really well designed. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for accommodating me and all my requirements. I will definitely be back.

We loved absolutely everything about Villa Malindi. The villa, the rooms, the pool, the whole atmosphere, the food and the free laundry service option. Alex and George, as well as other staff were amazing. Alex was in touch with every guest of the villa in the morning and at dinner, asking if we needed anything, advised on where to go to see the best beaches and sightseeing, arranged the car when we needed. Honestly, that was the best stay in Kenya and was a cherry on top in the end of our big 4-week trip.

The good part of this place is the location. We had friends that stayed at beach resorts who were just constantly approched on the beach and even sat in their resort outside. We had no problems as its hidden on a nice street away from the sellers but still a 1k cab ride if you do want to be on the beach. The roomswere spotless and as its a brandnew hotel you can tell that nothing has been used. I am sure no one had slept in the bed before I stayed there and its obvious. Mosiqutos plugs in all the rooms and air con switched on so when we arrived it was cool and insect free. Its a boutique hotel so unlike those massive resorts we get served and any request is quick. Food was great and lots of choices of accomodation styles for solo travellers, couples and families.

I've had a wonderful experience staying at Saffron Garden recently. The interior design of the hotel is stunning, with a perfect blend of modern African aesthetics and comfort. The landscaping is equally impressive, providing a serene and beautiful environment to relax in. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable. Their genuine hospitality made me feel welcomed and well cared for throughout my visit. I highly recommend Saffron Garden for its beautiful design, lovely grounds, and excellent staff, and I look forward to visiting again!

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.

It was like stepping into a whole new dimension, This property has a lovely extensive garden which was so beautiful to wake up to every morning. The property was peaceful and calm which is surprising because its very near the town centre. I felt very safe as the security wasn't playing around. The staff were also very kind and helpful. They have a cute little restaurant which serves amazing meals and the breakfast was too generous. I have to go back here ❤
