The ambience and environment just kills you. Lovely is an understatement. If you have an eye that loves a cool, sweet and beautiful place, African home is the place. It is right in the middle of the leafy suburbs of Malindi, stress free, just the wheezing sound of the trees. The swimming pool is fairly warm even when it was getting cold. The staff are very friendly and the owner is right there to ensure your comfort and peace of mind. If I get another opportunity, I would go back there anytime without blinking.

Less crowded and the serenity of the environment was superb. House keepers and other workers too were amazing

William Kenya

- The exquisite atmosphere of the place, whose each and every part are lavishly decorated with African-wise items ; - The central swimming-pool ; - The serenity of the surroundings ; - The gentleness of the staff ; - Though feeling at home is very unfrequent while traveling to another place, that's exactly what I experienced at African House Resort

This place is a must see! The staff, great service, spacious rooms and it's so peaceful there. Really interesting how the owners have decorated with antique things throughout the resort. It's like a museum. Thanks for a lovely stay.

The stay was great and would not hesitate to recommend to other visitors either travelling for work or holiday.

Stephen Kenya

The place is very peaceful and relaxing. It is also very clean and with lots of antiques to keep guests busy. The staff are friendly and very helpful, especially Mzee Mombasa the waiter.

Anne Kenya

Clean, felt safe, staff were available but unobtrusive.

Edgar Kenya

Amazing neo-colonial interior design, full of curiosities and distinctive elegance. The place is perfect for a quiet getaway, due to its secluded location.
