Breakfast was great and had many options. The property was constantly being cleaned even though there were only a few guests while I was there. The rooms were cleaned very thoroughly and the staff were very kind and helpful.

Crystal Apartments was honestly such a beautiful stay. The apartment was modern, clean, cozy, and very tastefully furnished, with great finishing throughout the space. The kitchen was especially well equipped with quality appliances and utensils, which made the stay feel very comfortable and premium. The staff were also incredibly warm and helpful throughout our stay. One of the highlights for us was the food we opted to have the in-house ladies cook for us and they prepared amazing authentic Swahili meals. I would highly recommend guests to go with them instead of hiring an external chef if you want a true Swahili coastal experience. The food was absolutely delicious and added so much to our trip. The location was also great and overall the apartment had a very relaxing, classy atmosphere.

The fact that it is far from all the town noise worked perfectly for me. The house is exactly as shown—if anything, even more beautiful in person. The ambience is serene, and the quietness is truly amazing. The host, Ascar, is an incredible soul—always ready to assist and made our stay feel exceptionally homey. I will definitely be back.

The breakfast had great options- they had all kinds of selections even for vegetarians. This was awesome, given the affordability of the rooms (the rooms are quite spacious by the way). The location was close to most important amenities as well as the airport and they had a dedicated reception service at most times of the day in case you need assistance. LOVED the in house restaurant. The check in was smooth and Dezzlyne made our stay even more comfortable with her top recommendations of activities and nightlife.

This hotel is a true paradise, offering a tranquil atmosphere and the most incredible staff I've ever encountered. I was upgraded to an exceptionally clean and beautiful room, which felt out of this world. It's the best place to stay in Malindi, offering both safety and serenity. My experience was fantastic; I can't think of anything negative to say. I loved the peacefulness, especially compared to other tourist-heavy spots. The hotel is affordable, and the food is delicious, with an amazing breakfast.

good location for the 2 nights we spent there in Malindi. about a 5-10 minute walk to the Alaskan market. No backup generator when the power cut out which is normal but the heat was unbearable without the AC, which worked perfectly when power was available.

The airbnb was very nice and spacious. The indoor plants added freshness to the space. The decor was topnotch (the lighting and art on the walls). Had a nice balcony with the perfect view...the location of the airbnb was also good the quietness and the ashoka trees created a nice view.
