Our stay at Kendwa villas truly exceeded our expectations. Location-wise, it was great: in the center of things, such as restaurants and shops, and close to the beach. Would have liked easier access to the beach, my understanding was that the beach was right outside the premises, but in any case it was just a short walk. Very safe, impeccably clean, modern and a nice vibe all around with the personal touches. E.g. a communal kitchen where we could help ourselves to coffee, fruit, etc. This made our stay feel less like a hotel, and more like a guest in somebody's home. The owner, Omar, was friendly and helpful with any requests and questions, e.g. travel advice. Beautiful outside area, with a well maintained garden and pool. Perfect for relaxing and quiet time. The staff overall were very friendly, warm and genuine, welcoming and accommodating. E.g. we were able to choose our room, which I appreciated. They catered to vegan/vegetarian requests and made us amazing breakfasts with fruit and a warm meal to follow.

Stuff are good, I would like to say thanks to one barman Juma. The bungalow is very cozy, and breakfast is served on the terrace. The ocean is a five minute walk. The best beach in the area! Near is the Coccobello bar with music and evening shows. P.S. Best Cockatil - Gin Tonic in MITI

Where to begin. The crazy man is the best host on the island. He made us feel welcome immediately, taking us to the beach and connecting us with locals to contact if we were ever in trouble. The breakfast was absolutely phenomenal. Toast with the choice of Nutella, jam, peanut butter etc. Eggs and followed by a fruit platter and smoothie. There was also a washing machine that was free of charge to use. The hostel had a cool vibe and crazy man was always around to help if needed, he even took us to the dala dala station. Overall a awesome place to stay

    with regards to staffing the management was awesome and the people at the front desk too, Rafiq & Karim were great hosts and made everything comfortable, the only downside to me would be the staff who work the outside beach restaurant, little but too moody considering the location. staff 5/10 location 10/10 comfortability 9/10 flexibility 10/10 management 10/10 Great stay, would just improve restaurant staffing attitude towards guests.
