    WiFi wasn't great at our villa 3. Hot water didn't quite work out. We got drinking water from the staff, there was confusion on how to account for the water bottles. Just keep your records clean when you get bottled water from the staff. It was a bit unpleasant dealing with this.

    We were in Diani end of June,  the weather was cool and nice, we didn't even need air conditioning. The staff were so polite, helpful and welcoming.  When we asked for anything, it was brought to us immediately. We felt safe and secure and we didn't lose one thing when we left the cottage, the secutity guard kept checking around to ensure all was well. Power went out one night and the generator kicked right in.  The property is beautiful with lots of trees and this gives a nice breeze.  Location is excellent! central to everything, very close to a supermarket,  restaurants....the beach is 10 minutes walk away. We stayed in villa 3 that's right next to the pool, the pool was kept clean and inviting, we enjoyed it a lot. Housekeeping keeps the place spotless.  There's housekeeping everyday except Sundays. Emily scrubs everything in detail, really.......as soon as we walked in, we noticed how sparkling clean the place is. Juma is always working in the garden, everything is so well maintained.  We cooked our food, they have everything you need in the kitchen to make meals. Definitely a place I'd visit over and over when in Diani when I need some quiet time.

    All was fine

    Very peaceful place. Friendly staff. Every small things were fixed in minutes. Terrass is comfortable to sit outside as a smoker. Pool is big enough to swim some lanes and is clean. Close to supermarket and restaurants and the main road. Highly secure place. Friendly owner gives a lot of tips.

    Due to the time of year, the water didn't heat up much. Was hoping to have a nice hot bath /shower

    The place is very clean, appliances were all in working order, the staff were very good. The host was welcoming. Enjoyed our stay very much

    Nothing serious compared to all the positive points. The wifi was a bit weak inside our cottage (number 3) near the pool but it is very ok outside or at another cottage nearer the internet booster. No worry, we were on holiday! The water is very salty from the taps / showers but it is not the fault of the owner. It is common in the area.

    A very pleasant stay in one of the 6 comfortable cottages available in a very secured campound. A nice and quiet garden. Everything works well inside the cottage and it is well maintained. Not far from the beach (10 mins walk) and from a shopping centre. (5 mins walk). A wonderful swimming pool. Clean and very well exposed. Very helpful host (who stays inside one of the cottages) and efficient staff. We really feel at home! Good value for money.

    They should consider AC over and above the rotating fans, to manage the coastal heat

    The property was clean and had a clean pool, including baby pool that my daughter loved swimming in
