Villa Malaika

JuliusRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Kevin’s place was so great we decided to go back again for another few days, towards the end of our trip. Everything was impeccable, and Kevin was very attentive and flexible, allowing us to have a late check out which suite our travel needs perfectly. Rose cooked a few times for us this time and her food is fabulous, we highly recommend her services, plus she was very friendly, patient and very accommodating. Another great stay at Kevin’s place, it’s home away from home. Kevin a great bloke, friendly, chatty, helpful and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again and hopefully one day we get to meet Kevin in person for a beer. Thank you, Julz and Mina ☺️.

Your Coastal Oasis!

Richard GeromeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I love this bnb! this was my 2nd stay and won't be the last. whenever am traveling to mombasa this is my go to spot. the bnb is beautiful the decor is kool unique and stylish . the seller is the view!! it's what really draws me there each time. loaded with amenities pretty much everything you can think of is there. very comfortable sofa seating and bed. I literally have no complaints the only thing that could make it better is if it was in a more happening area but it's easy to get around with ubers. the host is amazing she always gets back to me with any concerns and rectified them. she definitely takes wanting us to have a good experience serious. pro tip . there is a store nearby on called food plus where you can get cases of water, snacks and even food stuff for cooking. the big thing is there is also a pharmacy and atm in that same Plaza. good to know because there is not an atm at the premises where you'll stay. cash is king.

I had a fantastic stay at Abdirahman’s place. Very spacious and clean. The apartment was quiet, peaceful, and perfectly located—just a short walk from the beach and many nearby major hotels/resorts. The view of the ocean was absolutely beautiful. Abdirahman and Mr. Ambani, who received me, were incredibly kind and welcoming, offering help and support even before my arrival. The internet was fast and reliable. I would definitely stay here again!

Stunning Beachfront Villa – near Mtwapa, Mombasa

DavidRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I my girlfriend and 4of our friends came to kikambala to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday and it was an unforgettable experience. The villa is located right on the beach, with an open design that’s out of this world. You won’t believe how breathtaking it looks until you see it yourself. The views, the breeze, the layout ,everything was just perfect. The staff were incredible. The chef recommended by the charlotte was exceptional. We felt well taken care of throughout our stay. Even with the property being right on the beach, the villa felt very safe and secure, which made the whole experience relaxing. Charlotte was fantastic host. — very responsive and helpful. She even allowed us a late check-out at no extra charge, which was a huge relief since our flight was later in the evening. It was a 10/10 experience. We will definitely be back.

Clean Cottage with Pool Next To The Beach

MayaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Nadia’s villa was an awesome place to stay. Beautiful house, garden and pool, safe, 5 minutes from beach. The resort staff and in particular Carol, who looks after the house - everyone looked after us really well. Carol made the week really easy, and went out of her way to help us find our feet, first time in Mombasa - she also made us some great meals. A perfect location, I would love to come back!
