I was in Malindi with my family and we needed a place a stay. I came across this property and saw the recent bad review and at first I was completely turned off by it but something told me to give it a try and book it. Once I got there I couldn't believe how I was so impressed and that everything exceeded my expectations. Let me just say whomever wrote this last bad review either made an error in judgement or walked into someone else's house by mistake. The house was immaculate and well decorated. From the bedrooms to the kitchen and bathrooms. The house looked exactly like the pictures on the booking website. The a/c blew cold. My wife and I I are not really understanding from the last bad review about rusty pots and pans because everything was clean and perfect. And as for rats or whatever small animals this person was talking about made no absolute sense. I went through all the reviews and there is no mention of any of this in any of the reviews and I did not see such things myself. From what I read from the last bad review I think it is possible that the person meant to write about another property and was totally confused.The pool was nice as the staff properly maintained its treatment. The area is very beautiful. The owner herself is very hospitable. I plan to come back with my family and really was impressed. My wife and kids and mother in law plan to come back and thank Linda for all of her hospitality.

This is an absolute beautiful place, the photos don't do justice, you've got to experience it to know it. Loved the thought into the property, very comfortable, comfy outside area (my best part of it), spacious, airy rooms, and Emma made sure we'd some delicious meals and good stay.
