    We had the most peaceful holiday in a serene and quiet hideaway the kind of place where you can truly disappear and no one can find you. The pool was just by the side, calm and inviting, perfect for a refreshing.

    Villa Fortuna is an amazing place. We loved the tranquility and how peaceful the place is. If you want to relax and recharge, this is an amazing place. We also had the pool to ourselves. The host is amazing, everything about this place is great!

    I liked the quiet, peaceful clean environment away from the urban chaos. The place is located in a serene environment and the people here are friendly. I must visit the place again, I was just trying out places for a short vacation and happened to book this unit. It was great and would highly recommend.

    The room was big, tastefully decorated and so clean. There was a knob for hot water in the shower (pleasant surprise) The distance from the airport is short (Maybe 30min) The pool was clean. Most importantly the staff. Damaris called me before I was due to come, organised airport pickup, food orders/delivery.

    We enjoyed the place a lot. We stayed for 4 nights. Breakfast was nice, yummy food. The swimming pool is clean and deep. The place is very clean and quiet. The staff is great, cleaned our room every day. Damaris is a very kind owner. She allowed us to come earlier and leave later.

    The villa is a little far from the center of Malindi

    The house is beautiful, comfortable, welcoming. The bedroom was clean, big and well protected from mosquitoes. The breakfast is really delicious, a mix of Kenyan and western style. The villa is close to the beach and the marine park for snorkeling.

    Our toilet had an issue, flashing it was giving us a bit of trouble.

    Villa Fortuna was amazing. The calm environment, trees, the breeze, the pool which was always clean and since there were few visitors around we were allowed to swim at night which we did everyday during our stay. The staff were really nice, from the gateman to the housekeeper. Breakfast was top notch. We were always looking forward to mornings because of their breakfast 🤭😂. The rooms are spacious, always cleaned in the morning, bedsheets and towels changed too. Damaris.. I want to say thank you for having us and welcoming us to your home. Blessings on blessings to you and your family .

    Due to other villas around we needed 5 min. more to get to the beach.

    Secure & silent area, very good breakfast, cleaning & new towels every day, very nice staff, nice freshwater pool. Damaris even helped us with a cab driver who wanted to scam us.

    A bit far from everything except Malindi Marina so it's good to find a reliable transportation / tuk-tuk driver. The owner of the house hardly changed two words with us.

    Very beautiful villa with a great terrace and access to a shared pool in a complex of villas. Breakfast was excellent and each day it was different. You can get cold beers, sodas or water from the reception. The room was very nice and clean.

    The place felt like home, great location with a perfect ambiance and easily accessible to motorbikes and tuktuks though they might tend to overcharge you so it's best to ask someone from around the pricings then move easily. Damaris is such a great host and the breakfast was incredible. Will definately book my next stay here in Malindi😊.

    The room/bed had a bit of a musty smell but I don't think that can be helped with the high humidity... it was super clean so it wasn't a worry at all. It would be nice to get a receipt of payment, but I didn't ask for anything, so that's on me.

    The breakfast was great and huge! Rose was super attentive :) They were really helpful in finding the spot and has quick responses when I was unsure. They also helped me to organize a snorkeling trip! It's a really quiet spot Clean and chill
