Villa Malaika
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!
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.

Ocean facing luxury villa
The chef Daniel , the caretaker Josphat and the rest of the team did a great job taking care of us . The food was perfect every day every meal . Thank you Daniel. Josphat showed around the beach and mombasa town . Great people.

We only stayed at the Airbnb for one night but it all worked out. The place has everything you need for a short stay, is clean and very close to the beach.

Izmira Serviced Apartment Studio
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
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.

Elegant apartment in Nyali
We really appreciated the fact that Kevin allowed us to check in early. That was a very kind gesture.. Highly appreciated. Lovely lovely place with a benevolent host worth booking again

Beach Haven! Cozy Villa
We was in the off season there … it was very private and the park was huge and at the private beach front was nobody. Thats what we where looking for. The whole aerea felt very safe, but you need an own car to enjoy it because its very quiet …

Luxury Ahadi Beachfront Villa Pool & Beach Access
The house is amazing and the setting is wonderful. They also provided us with the contact to hire a cook who was great and a driver to get around the area. I recommend it 100%.

Tina's Family Apartment
I had a fantastic stay at Ivo’s place! The apartment was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated. The location was perfect, close to nearby attractions and close to the beach Ivo was a great host—friendly, responsive, and helpful with local recommendations. Check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. I especially appreciated the kids room with toys to play and the wifi strength to all the rooms. It really made my stay feel like home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Clean Cottage with Pool Next To The Beach
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!

White Cliff Villa/luxury beach life
Lorine’s place is amazing! I feel like the antique furniture and aesthetics of the colonial styles was flawless! I will definitely be recommending this place to all of my friends in the future. I can’t wait to come again to see the wonderful puppy/guard dog who is always so friendly! Thank you Lorine and Emmanuel!
