Dear Ann and team, Thank you for the most wonderful stay, we loved everything. The place is so beautiful and peaceful. The breakfast was excellent. We got nice recommendations for restaurants and things to do during our stay. If we ever goes back to Kenya we would definetely stay here ❤️ All the best to all of you

Fantastic - stay here!

The place is really tranquil, and the staff were wonderful. Felt like we were staying with friends, which I really liked. Breakfast was great too. If you want to chill, I really recommend this place! Staff were able to call us tuk-tuks too, which helped a lot.

One of the tuk-tuk drivers “didn’t have change” so we paid 1000 for a journey that was 500 on the return leg. Not the fault of the staff here though, he’s just one of the drivers they use.

Ruhe Oase

Schöne, saubere, moderne Zimmer. Wunderschöne Anlage. Schöner Pool. Nettes Personal. Einfaches aber leckeres, gesundes Frühstück. Tipps für die Umgebung. Wenig verfügbare Zimmer, demnach familiär gehalten. Handtücher am Pool inklusive.

Der Weg zum Strand war weiter als angenommen aber war in Ordnung. Ein Wäscheständer für nasse Handtücher/ Wäsche hat uns gefehlt.

Zalig Zarafa!

De perfecte locatie als je naar Diani beach gaat. Gelegen in een zijstraat van de hoofdweg. Toffe host die je over alles informatie kan verschaffen. Prachtige tuin, zwembad,... Alles is tot in de puntjes verzorgd. Zeer gevarieerd lekker ontbijt.

The perfect stay in Diani to completely relax!

We had an amazing stay at Zarafa house. The house is perfectly clean, furnished with good taste and super well entertained. It is very calm and has a chill relaxing vibe. It is not too far from Diani beach (10 mins walk with a nice path in the bushes) and close to all the restaurants by tuck tuck (very cheap and available all the time). Plenty of details make this place stand out (towels always available for the swimming pool, nice shampoo, water fountain…). Ann is such a great host and her staff is lovely. She was always ready to give good advice and super helpful at anytime. To make it even more perfect she prepares delicious breakfast, fresh and different every day. It is also possible to organise yoga classes! I highly recommend this beautiful place!!

Hidden gem of Diani

The property is new and modern and clean.

It’s located a bit further back from the beach but walkable to street to catch taxi to any location in the city or to beach.

Little paradise in Diani

This property is stunning...so private, spacious and relaxing. Ann is a wonderful host who really makes you feel very welcome. Perfect spot for a group in particular. Some decent restaurants within a ten minute walk and not far to the beach...but you probably wont want to leave the property as it is so lovely! Delicious plentiful breakfast that varied daily. Highly recommend!

Perfect!

We really loved the house. It was very quiet, super clean and peaceful. Anne was really helpful and very friendly. She helped us book a taxi from the airport and tuk-tuk to go around Diani. Breakfast was amazing too. We really recommend this place if you stay in Diani.

Nothing. Everything was exceptional.

The pool is just amazing, and the whole place just kinda feels like home, it was close enough from the beach but also far enough that we dont really get the annoying tourist chasers.

the AC remote is only available for a fee - while I understand that this is to avoid energy waste since I'm sure a lot of guests leave the AC on all the time, it would have been nice to just be able to turn it on for a little bit before bed. Consider AC time slots instead of AC fees, or in conjunction.

Very Unpleasant

a) The location of the property is very remote and it has taken lot of time to search the property. b) The rooms are not the same as per the images shown on your website. c) Rooms do not have any AC, we were charged additionally for the AC. d) There are no flexibility and no option with the breakfast. There was a fixed item every day, as per the owner's choice. e) There is no provision for lunch or dinner there. It is more of an Air BNB house rather than a hotel facility. Zero value for the money we spent. f) The owner was not very friendly and we did not feel welcome there. g) Any small requests were not considered and were straight away denied.

We had the most memorable wonderful stay at Zafara House at Christmas and we would love to go back year after year. Than

perfect location for our stay at Diani, this beautiful exceptional property was perfect for our family. Ann and her staff made us very welcome, comfortable and looked after us so well we did not want to leave. We are already looking for the next opportunity to go back. Brilliant breakfast and meals, very clean and safe, perfect contacts for our tours, relaxing atmosphere and best scrub and massage ever. Perfect holiday.

Honestly could not find anything bad to say. If this was on the market I would buy it. That is how much we loved it.

Splendid staff, food and drink. Will return.

The rooms are thoughtfully decorated and stocked with items you don’t even think you’d need, like an umbrella. Ann is pro-sustainability and it’s evident in the choice of toiletries, etc that are available.

Anne, the host and owner is a fantastic host that thinks of every little detail. she gave us tips to local places, cooks good food and is available to assist with any queries and at all times. the place is spacious and beds huge and comfortable. the pool is cleaned in a daily basis and the surroundings are quiet and full of beautiful trees. it takes less than 10 minutes leisure walking to the beach and even less to the main road.

Everything was great.

Relaxing stay in boutique hotel, with immaculate gardens and pool

The hotel is exactly as pictured on the website - recently refurbished, small boutique and intimate hotel compared to surrounding larger resorts. Good size pool, definitely no fighting for sun loungers! The grounds are luscious with green plants, well maintained to high standard, beautiful lit in the evenings! A short stroll to the main road where you can easily catch a tuck- tuck to the centre or short walk to the beach! Suitable for groups/ couples / individual travellers. The rooms are spacious, with large queen size beds- lovely bed linens! Large shower with high quality bathroom products provided. Great nights sleep! Again, high standard of cleanliness. Anne (owner/ manager) is an attentive host, going out of her way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Every morning we enjoyed a different breakfast with - fresh juices, fruits etc (Vegetarian options were great! )
