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 ❤

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.

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.

My husband and I had an amazing time in this hotel, specially because of the workers. Maurice and the other employees has been so kind and helpful to us. I recommend to try the fresh cooked lunch or dinner from the lady, it was very delicious, it was nice to try kenyan food. Also the breakfast was perfect aswell. The hotel is very beautiful and clean, the swimming pool very good aswell. To us there is absolutely nothing bad to notice. Thank you to Maurice and all the other employees. I would love to come back to stay there again, no regret.

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.
