The dorm has no proper lighting so it's almost dark at night in the dorm. It's really inside so you have to get a bike to get out and at night , you need to stay in. The water supply was finished on one of the mornings, nobody else was there in the dorm so it gets boring. And one feels a bit unsafe. I had nothing untoward happen with me but one of the other girls who stayed later - she said someone came up and stood outside her dorm and nobody helped her. She was freaking out. This place doesn't have a social vibe at all. No lockers for your stuff.

I liked the security gate and fence, it's safe and the low price of 5 USD. I had reached late and just needed to sleep so that was fine. The staff was good to me. The pool area is nice. I had forgotten my Tarot pouch and it got rained over but they kept it for me. I was the only person in the dorm which worked for the first night. They gave me a fan as it was too hot for me. The bed is comfy and clean. Shower was decent. Cleaning lady is sweet too.

The bed and beddings and a availability of water

The place is so serene, quiet, and lovely. The staff are just amazing. The pool is very clean and placed in a fairly private place. On the food, this place stands out as it is ( I bet) the only hotel where you'll find freshly cooked food, and to your preference. I would come again and would recommend the place to anyone looking for a pocket-friendly yet super-quality stay on the south coast.

Basic accomodation, but good value for money.

A nice place with a beautiful pool, best value for money in Diani Beach. We spent just a few hours there, but we enjoyed the pool very much.

I didn't know there was a restaurant. Sometimes I would wake up to noise downstairs considering I would sleep late and wake up late. Also I didn't like the location it's far from main road.

Mostly I liked the structure of the hostels which allows for natural cooling and ventilation. I also liked that Dominic was very helpful anytime when needed.

The rooms were a bit dank and the pool had bugs that bit your skin. I recommend it be cleaned regularly as well as disinfection for the bugs.

The rates were super-friendly. The staff were amazing notably Dominic who provided great hospitality. The food was great, done by Dominic himself.

The distance to the location, it is a little bit far for a hidden gem, I would ask the management to do more of advertisement and recommend them to have website for this hidden gem. Lack of online presence will hinder its discovery.

The dinner presentation and making was highly valued, the keen to details and follow up from the host to make sure you are fully taken care of, I salute this.

From the beach is a bit a distance

The pool provided a good thing to jumb into after a loong day.

The showers need some maintenance as the water doesn't disappear through the drain hole but went over the floor of the aisle. Not a bad matter but something that could be improved: I missed some hooks to hang my clothes.

The Diani Hostel is mainly made of round wooden rods and covered with palm leaves. Very much appreciated and cosy. And a nuce pool within the green of a beautiful garden. I like to be here. Very nice staff who helped me with any questions I had, eg. finding an affordable kitesurfing instructor. As a world traveler this was one of the most beautiful places I've been so far.

I wish there were hot showers. All in all the lack of hot showers didn't dampen my stay there. I will visit again soon.

The serene environment, great management that took care of my needs. The place is located a walking distance from the beach. The swimming pool is very clean. Food is well prepared once you place an order, and it's served on time. The place is also quite affordable.
