Bamburi Beach Hotel  

All inclusive food and drinks Friendly Food was great! Great pool and view

My room stunk like pee when I first arrive - there was dried pee around the toilet. They didnt supply enough drinking water in the room Water leaked through the bathroom window when it rained

the dinner was full of sea foods which I liked.

the need to improve on drinks those under all inclusive. I did not like the wine it was dry and I take sweet. I was forced to take beer which is not my favorite.

Free beer! Great selection of free food. Awesome pool. Volleyball in the pool. Attentive staff.

Room smelled musty at first. Accosted by people on the beach looking to make money--not the hotel's fault, but a drawback to this location.

hotel

food was not good

Very friendly staff especially the manager in charge of catering

Room service. No shower curtain,salty water en the bed is position directly infront of the tv obstructing the view. Such a hotel should atleast have a sauna.

clean rooms and friendly staff

have to pay for wifi and to use the safe and the fridge! also food had little variety

This three star hotel was good value all inclusive hotel, worth of every euro. Staff was really friendly. We stayed during easter holidays so there was a lot activities you can join. Animators took good care about us. Food was really good and waiters, cooks and hostesses really friendly. Pool area was nice and clean. Staff in pool area was also really nice and helpful.

Beachboys at beach were annoying. At night it was no good to go alone to beach.

Value for money, excellent location and all rooms have balconys with ocean views. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Rooms need updating.

This is a mid range resort with excellent food. The food meets any 5 star hotel quality. Drinks proposed in the all inclusive package are o.k. Large,clean two swimming pools. Beach towels service. The wooden sunbeds have plastic cushions. The rooms have multi channel television and are a fair size. Everything is working. Nice view of the ocean from the balcony. The hotel is a little tired and in need of updating, but it is clean. Fresh sheets and towels on a daily basis. Very friendly and helpful staff makes the stay very pleasant. Entertainment every night at the hotel is good. For the price it is an excellent value for money. For a 3 star it‘s such a great hotel. All in all it‘s a clean, friendly and safe place to stay!

Salt water from the tap.

This is a great place for travellers to spot the Big Five: the big German, the white Englishman, the happy Dutch, the boozy Russian and (more rarely, sightings not guaranteed on every visit) the blonde Scandinavian. With a booking.com bargain, this is the cheapest all- inclusive safari you can find.

But beware, just like in any safari the dangers abound once you stray from the guarded area. On the not-so-spectacular beach, watch out for the pervasive beach-boy-bug. These creatures, though oftentimes amenable and friendly, can be hard to brush off when they find the scent of ksh. The female version of the species (distinctly unattractive) is more rare but often appear at night. You can even hear their well-known sounds from inside the hotel grounds: 'daddy, please come here for a minute'...

We had a room with a very nice view, the food was excellent and the extremely friendly and helpful staff were providing a relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed the stay at Bambury Beach Hotel very much.

I liked the proximity to the beach, the hotel is at the beach so this is great all you do is go to the poolside and exit to access the beach. The free breakfast was great since I did not have a full-board, all inclusive package [ I am a vegetarian and I enjoyed a wide a variety of warm & cold foods as well as fruits & breads for breakfast]. The children's center was nice when my son wanted to do something with other children [although most of the planned activities for children never happened with the exception of beading]. The kiddie pool was nice and it is monitored by the children's center staff. Security was fine and each night there were "cultural" performers. You can hire a taxi without any problem as the taxi stand is right outside of the hotel. The hotel staff can arrange a taxi or you can get one for yourself. A trip to the nearest mall is about 1,200 kenyan shillings round trip. No real problem at all with mosquitos but nets are available upon request. You can exchange cash and traveler's cheques at the hotel. A barclays bank is within walking distance with ATM's. It is also near other hotels and beach front restaurant/bars so you can go next door to Yul's or Il Covo [great food!] for lunch/dinner and I believe they are night clubs as well. Food is mostly Italian at these restaurants. If I could do things over I would have arranged for a full board package because it can be cheaper than purchasing meals from hotels and bars, especially if you have a family or are more than 2 travelers. There are a few pools so if you don't like a crowd then you can just move to the quieter pool side. So many water-based activities available just outside of the hotel at the beach entrance. Also other activities at nearby parks. I had a great time!

Wi-fi is not free!!! You must pay for 15, 30 and 60 minute increments. Also Wi-fi access is not strong and you have to use it near the reception desk/ lobby area for uninterrupted access because it will drop mid-session. You will experience problems using it in your room and the hotel is constructed of concrete. I had several problems with wi-fi but the staff accommodated me to rectify it. CLEANLINESS/ROOM CONDITION: Rooms could be cleaner but not bad...The service trays containing coffee/tea were dirty and in fact the plastic utensils that were left for use were either dirty or had been used before. I kept throwing the dirty utensils out and they kept replacing them with dirty utensils. Bathroom counters and above the toilet was not the cleanest and needed wiping down. [Bring wipes] The mattress that I slept on had holes in it at the corners due to wear I assume but this is a cause for concern regarding bed-bugs they need to make sure the mattresses are maintained. Other than that it was not a problem. I think that the shower was clogged and drainage was poor. The water was SCOLDING HOT! Sometimes there was no cold water at all and the water was scolding hot to the point where you could not shower or turn off the water once the tap was opened. Sometimes you could not control the hot water and sometimes you could but at least you know the water is hot. Mombasa hotels all use saltwater and this is not a problem for me but be warned that the tap water is salt water and you will shower in salt water. The hotel provides a thermos with fresh water in it. Other than that you have to buy fresh water [this may be the case for me as I did not have a full board package] At night sometimes room service is not responsive. If you ask for something they may or may not come to deliver it. However if you order food or ask for anything else while the kitchen is open they are as prompt as possible.

the staff were very friendly and helpful and the view from my room was beautiful

the beach boys outside the hotel put you off using the beach outside and we had to ask for a security guard to take us to the Italian restaurant next door which was ridiculous!!

Family Hotel on the Beach nice and quiet when I was there but this was of season.

Buffet Style Meals when you arrived in the later part of the meal time your selection of food was limited as food was not replenished. Anymation and music was finshed at 11pm every night even weekends.

The airconditioning did not work and we booked room with breakfast but the last day I found out that we had paid for half board.

The staff in the restaurant and front desk were very friendly and helpful. An added bonus that we had not expected was the inclusion of "half board" - instead of just breakfast as an inclusion it also included dinner at night. This was especially helpful as there were not all that many restaurants close by

As soon as you step on to the beach you are besieged by hawkers wanting to sell you anything from camel rides to carvings to safaris to.... The rooms are becoming a bit aged and it was a bit of a shock to discover that bore water is used - very difficult to get up a good soap or shampoo lather

It was a pleasant hotel for a short term break.

There was confusion between the different packages and the staff did not really appreciate people who came on the package through booking.com. However by the end of the weekend we understood the rules and all was worked out.

понравилось практически все. очень вкусная еда хорошие чистые бассейны бары

на пляже много местных попрошаек пока дойдешь 20м до океана успеют надоесть

Freundliches Personal , gutes Essen (indischer Geschmack), guter Service,

Dusche und Wasserhahn nur mit fließendem Salzwasser, Hotelzimmer ist veraltet, keinstenfalls 4 Sterne - eher 2 - 3 Sterne Hotel

Das Personal war in der Regel bemüht, Nachfragen zu beantworten und Wünsche zu erfüllen. So klappte sogar der Umzug von der vierten in die erste Etage problemlos. Das Essen war reichlich und schmackhaft. Der Pool war sauber, das Wasser herrlich warm, Liegen ausreichend vorhanden, Abendprogramm unterhaltsam und Service wie Taxi, Geldtausch und Internet vorhanden. Der selbst organisierte Ausflug im einfachsten Holzboot (Dau) mit einem überaus freundlichen Rasta-Kapitän für angemessenes Geld und viel Spaß möglich - bitte nie durch die Beachboys vermitteln lassen. Selbst ist der Mann / die Frau.

Die typische afrikanische Langsamkeit war vor allem an der Rezeption und beim Geldwechsel spürbar. Bei letzterem gab es kaum Blickkontakt und nicht das typisch freundliche Lächeln Afrikas, eher mürrisch und gelangweilt. Rücktausch übriger Shilling am letzten Tag nicht möglich. Internetnutzung im Foyer mit 2 € a 30 Minuten teuer. äTzend, aufdringlich und Z. T. frech sind die Beachboys, die einem unentwegt Safaris, Zigaretten und Bootsfahrten zu anfangs stark überteuert Preisen verkaufen wollen. Ein längerer Strandaufenthalt bzw. -Spaziergang ist nur mit "ungezogenem" Verhalten, sprich mürrisch, abweisend, ignorierend, möglich, aber eben nicht erholsam.

Meget venlig og positiv stab. Gode pools og fri bar med udvalgte drikke. Maden var udmærket.

Det er ikke noget handicapvenligt sted. Forvirrende for en blind person, som var i vores familie. Der var en del tang i vandet

Das Hotel ist sehr empfehlenswert. Das Essen war in Büffetform, mit sehr viel Auswahl und geschmacklich wirklich gut. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Anlage gepflegt und sehr erholsam. Die Reinigung der Zimmer klappte hervorragend. Alkes war gut organisiert! Ich werde wieder dort Urlaubstage verbringen

rapporto qualita prezzo

Fint läge direkt vid stranden. Poolområdet var vackert med underbara träd som ramade in och skuggade även poolen på vissa ställen för dem som ville det. Inga påträngande försäljare fick komma upp på området. Jättefint lekrum för småbarnen samt pool. Även ett fint gym, det fanns också biljardbord samt pingisbord mm. A la carte restaurangen Fishermans cave var fantastisk fin med jättegod mat och trevlig personal, precis vid stranden. Stor och bra frukostbuffe. Bra organiserad vollebolltävling både i poolen och på stranden.

Airconditionen krånglade ett par nätter, men tillslut fick de ordning på den. Vissa av vuxenaktiviteterna på eftermiddagen var tveksamma tex. kulstötningen borde de ej ha haft inne på poolområdet!! Denna aktivitet borde man ha på stranden!

Great Hospitality, Great Location on the beach ................kudos to the staff for their superb service and Food

The mattresses are crap and a back breaker ............... weeds /dirt on the beach ............. if this was addressed .......... it would be Heavenly......
