    We loved the environment, nature, the concept of a green lodge, the hand-made furniture and decorations. It was clean, rustic, felt natural and different from the typical hotel. The staff and owner were very attentive, extremely nice and welcoming.

    We loved everything about this property

    8Wendee R.Posted on: 5-16-2025

    The whole property is quite good… with the African native vibe to it… and it’s a beachfront facility as well

    They only served vegetarian breakfast….

    8GabrielPosted on: 4-22-2025

    Comfortable, air conditioned rooms. Small but nice pool, really good value food that tasted great.

    Pool and sun bed area could get very busy.

    9RuttoPosted on: 3-24-2025

    The breakfast was top notch.All the vegetarians should come to ziwa Beach Re6

    The musty unpleasant odour due to presence of mold and mildew plus moisture buildupImprove the ventilation system.

    8MarioPosted on: 3-5-2025

    Wood decoration and the green with good selection of trees

    Few works of maintenence are needed

    10ManuelPosted on: 2-27-2025

    for all those looking for a real genuine Kenyan place, respecting environment, offering great comfort, and stunning location on the beach, Ziwa is the best choice on Nyali coast !! of course, some few details are different from international "comfort standards" ... and that's not what I personally does expect from a hotel in these conditions breakfast is also great! and the vegetarian restaurant

    nothing "essential"

    10MihaelaPosted on: 2-9-2025

    We spent 4 nights at Ziwa Beach Resort and had a very good experience. Main reason to choose this accommodation was the proximity to the diving center and it proved a very good choice, We loved the feeling of the place, the room was comfortable and clean, good internet, nice and helpful staff. Lovely views from the restaurant terrasse.

    7Per-erikPosted on: 1-6-2025

    Fantastic ocean view from our room as well as the restaurant/lounge area. Also only place on the beach serving Bila Shaka (craft) beer ;)

    The restaurant could be significantly improved.

    10JoshuaPosted on: 1-3-2025

    its right at bamburi beach, has afforble drinks

    the bathroom sinks in one of the rooms was not draining properly, ran out of breakfast food like eggs a twice during the stay and took a while to refill

    8ThomasPosted on: 1-3-2025

    perfect beach location and oceanview from balcony; authentic african style; competitive pricing, good wifi, room everything needed; breakfast ok considering pricing

    breakfast may have a bigger selection

    Shower, bed, beach front, quiet nights

    1MargaretPosted on: 12-10-2024

    Absolutely nothing. Breakfast very bad ?

    Food bad. In explained charges.Very unrespective manager ?

    7EmilsePosted on: 12-6-2024

    The structure of the place is beautiful! I love the ecological measures and that they just serve amazing local and western vegetarian food. The staff are all super nice. Specially the girls in the restaurant.

    - The room had a very veeeery strong smell of tabaco and it was impregnated in the bed sheets too. I arrived at night so I turned the AC on to be able to sleep with that smell… not ideal. - The toilet was not super clean either with spots around the toilet ball and the floor around the shower still wet. Overall the place didn’t give me the impression of being very hygienic. - Other guests arrived to the room next door who I was sharing the terrace with in the middle of the night and the person showing them around was very noisy when He showed the terrace and turned all the light on! (thing that woke me up…)

    Room wa spaceous. Breakfast was good.Water

    Water splashing beyond the shower curtain rail. could improve that by inserting a 0ne inch raised barrier directly beow the shower curtain.

    10RobbiePosted on: 9-4-2024

    Lovely decoration, cozy , warm.

    The late arrival was awkward, due to airline changing flights. The receptionist wasn’t expecting us.

    2ShivaniPosted on: 8-19-2024

    The location only

    The staff were very rude, they said our room didn't exist and didn't attend to the sink leaking for 24 hrs. They didn't give us hot water for 24hrsThey lost our room key after cleaning and didn't know where it was, when asked we were told it's not up to them and they don't care where it is.

    8BrianPosted on: 7-12-2024

    the staff were very nice most helpful with a smile the changed my room because of a problem with WiFi. also my luggage never arrived on the flight but the manager was keeping me informed about where it was it didn't arrive in mombasa six days after I arrived but that had nothing to do with the hotel

    the shower could be a bit more pressure and a little hotter
