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.

From the moment I arrived, Beba upgraded my room which was grest as the ocean view was fabulous. The room is spotless clean. Very elegantly decorated. Staff were very helpful. The villa is gorgeous. A few meters away from the beach. The private beach made my stay fantastic and ensured privacy. The pool was just the right spot to disconnect from the world. Breakfast was delicious and portions were huge. India and Gold ( the dogs 🐕) were definitely a huge plus. I loved their presence and played with them. The entire experience was very unique, authentic and relaxing 😌 I highly recommend it 👌 as a solo traveler, this felt do safe. Thank you Beba for taking care of things and understanding.

Pole Pole Beach House is literally a minute from the beach with easy access. The staff were delightful and very very helpful (even got me a motor bike to town whose rider was equally pleasant). I'd like to single out Safari, who was a most generous aimiable and helpful host. When I dropped my phone in his car on my way to the airport, he very kindly came back to bring it to me. I had a nice room with a balcony from where you could see the ocean. I had a really really lovely stay.

Amazing hotel, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Just beautiful, like in the pictures. Decorated with an eye for detail and aesthetic. Dinner exceeded our expectations, was extraordinary. Also the setting of the dinner was super nice and romantic, we really enjoyed just staying in the hotel and having dinner there. Manny, the owner of the hotel, also puts effort into having a chat with his guests, which we really appreciated and just made the whole experience more personal. Location was ideal for us as kitesurfers, not far from Geroda beach.

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.

I loved everything about the place. The fact that I was the only person there and still got a wonderful treatment says it all. For the price, it's definitely worth it 👌. Also if you want to go to other places they willingly take you. Lemme not forget the privacy and everything plus it's location is superb.

Very clean and nice hotel. The garden with the pool is amazing, just a hidden gem. All of the staff is super friendly, a place you just want returning to. The location for us was perfect, a quiet and peaceful area. A tuk tuk should bring you downtown in few minutes at a affordable price.

The lady (owner) treated us in the best way possibile, she is super nice and kind and ready to face all of our needs. She is also an excellent cooker and she made a delicious dinner and the breakfast is amazing (fruits, pancakes, eggs, muffins etc). The place is sourranded by nature and it seems to be in a peaceful little paradise. I would highly recommended to choose this place to stay, it is also close to the city centre (5 min by boda boda). I will come back here for sure!
