A lovely cottage with excellent support on all items you need. Especially, our cook Mbaru and the service of Janet and Judy are outstanding. We will come back Alexander and Heike ##### Dr. Alexander S. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### eve 23 Feb 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Terrible and a scam! We were placed in a house that was not the one in the photos. It’s not even a question of a worn down condition of the same house the owner took the liberty to place my party including (3) children in one of two houses in the property with the shared pool and didn’t confess until the end of 1st night when I called her over to ask what was going on as the condition and the design were completely different. Of course full payment was completed and she told a bogus story that our hose had AC that worked; while the house we booked had issues. In reality the house we stayed in was run down, had 2 live wasps nests, low water pressure, no AC even though she claimed it did. It was so bad we took the risk of losing all our money and left after one night. This house is posted under (2) different names on Expedia including “Villakwetu” so the bad reviews are not visible to all..don’t be fooled. Having been traveling to the Kenyan coast for almost a decade and using Expedia for 20 years I am appalled the owner could get away with stealing the money and not being forced to verify the claims on VRBO. Buyers beware! ##### eve Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tecla K. 19 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tropical Paradise Judy was great to work with. Staff friendly and attentive to needs. Pleasant stay with a private and well maintained swimming pool. Bedrooms large and airy. Plenty of clean linens and robes. ##### Tecla K.
