    I had a wonderful stay at Kimte. It’s a beautiful location right on the beach and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. It’s also a good place to socialise and meet new people.

    There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.

    The location is very nice on the beach. The staff is incredibly nice and they helped with everything I needed /asked for. They had a lot of patience with my child and were very understanding. Everyone had such a nice vibe. They helped us by recommending a tour guide who turned out to be a very nice person and he arranged all of our trips. I think we did about 5 excursions and I have no complaints about any of them. They have a raggae night on Thursday. The band is very nice. The food is good, even if the selection is not big. No local restaurant has a big selection of choices. I prefer a small but delicious menu. The one thing that could be improved, would be the cleaning in the rooms part. Not sure if you need to ask for it or how it works, but having sand everywhere, I think cleaning should be taken a bit more serious. Nevertheless, we will be coming back here. It is definitely one of those spots where you make a trip every year.

    i was in a 5 bed dorm room. They have to fans but they're in the middle of the room and in the begiining of feb it was still pretty hot.

    f you want to visit a quiet location like Jambiani, then this is the hostel for you. I had a bed in a 5-bed dorm. The bathrooms are quite large and clean. The bar is opp the road facing the ocean and the where everyone hangs out. The staff (isaac and gang) is super helpful with whatever you need.

    It is a bit difficult to reach the accommodation if you are traveling by boda boda at night.

    breakfast is good and it is in front of the beach, which is pretty nice. The shared rooms are pretty big and shared amenities like the shower and bathroom are very clean.
