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.

    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. 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.

    The information on Booking.com about Malindi is an accurate representation of what I found on site. I visited the following places: Galana Shopping Centre Vasco da Gama Pillar Portuguese Chapel Malindi Marine National Park. I occasionally ate out from a wide range of restaurants in the city centre. It was quite easy to move around Malindi and I currently have no experience of places to avoid while in Malindi.

    My stay was just fantastic.The golden sand beach which is just a minute walk away from the apartment. The greenery well kept garden was very nice. The staff were so welcoming and not forgetting Mr Peter,the host who was very helpful,he sorted all our queries with immediate effect. The interesting part is that the apartments are located inside Ocean Beach Resort,which is a 5 star hotel on Malindi. We accessed the restaurant which offered very delicious meals. We really enjoyed our stay and will sure be back again.

    Just… Paradise! Originally booked the property for a one week stay, but decided to extend for another week. Located literally a minute from the beach. But not only that, the highly maintained grounds, beautiful location and fantastic swimming pools. The property is just a short TukTuk ride away from many good restaurants and a peaceful haven away from the chaos of the town. Ideal for short breaks, or like me, extended or long breaks, I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

    We liked almost everything, especially the friendliness of the housekeeping lady, Justina. Everything was as described. We have got all the amenities we needed. Even the beach was nearby, wide and sandy, and like not often in Kenyas tourist areas, it was a "Beachboy free zone", that means no disturbing never-ending bla bla. The bed was comfortable, not too hard, not too soft. The pool was clean and open 24/7. All in all, a nice stay, thanks for everything
