Every one was very helpful and friendly, the was clean and had lot of space. The kitchen area has a very good amount of space in to easily cook a meal. The supermarket was very close by so a easy walk.

The property was scenic, pool was good we enjoyed. No one came for cleaning the room, there was no water bottle in the room along with the basic amenities for bathroom, safe was there but was not working and space for washroom was very basic. overall for now I can just say Passable.

The pool was fantastic. Food was fresh, cooked to order, delicious and great value for the money based on large portion sizes.
Food was cooked to order and fresh but the waiting times seemed long when we were the only people waiting.

We had a really nice stay here. Nice rooms, friendly staff, great pool and just a few minutes walk to the beach. There are some nice bars/restaurants within walking distance (10min) or just a few minutes with a tuktuk.

This is paradise I want to LIVE here! African Dream cottages is THE place to be in Diani. The bungalows are super comfortable- the swimming pool is amazing, the whole place is so beautiful with a lot of green plants and palm trees, monkeys visiting in the morning. The beach is just straight down on the little road, it takes about 5-10 min maximum. The staff are now our friends for life— and the food so delicious that I even come by just for that now and then 🤩🤩🤩
Initially I had just booked for 3 days but ended up prolonging for 10 more days 🙌🏾❤️ look no further, this is a pearl ☺️

Cottages were lovely with direct access to pool.
Food was good quality and staff were very friendly.
Walk to the beach was OK during the day (500-700m along a dirt track) but location not great to get to in the dark.

Very good vibes, nice pool, comfortable bungalows
Drinking water was not available and had to pay 2-300 ksh for every 750ml which is ridicolous. Have a water dispenser accessible to all guests like most other hotels!

4.0 / 5.0
Staff was amazing, super friendly and helpful. They often used the motto “nothing is impossible” which was very true in the way they met our requests.
Loved that we could use the pool late at night too!!
Location was ok, we often had problems getting a taxi or tuktuk to come to the hotel, but it was a very short walk to the main road where we could get a taxi easily.

4.0 / 5.0
The staff was amazing, Thanks to Boniface, Sam, Said and Joan. The pool was very clean. Probably the cleanest I've seen to date! The cottage is very beautiful, more beautiful than pictures on this site and well maintained. The wifi is good and reach houses. There is no TV but it's a nonsense to expect a TV in a such paradise place, so for me, it's positive. People coming here should enjoy life, the beach, nature and just relax instead of requesting TV. Let's say it's a cottage in a big natural garden, where you won't miss seeing little monkeys. Speaking of little monkeys, I plan to come back to this cottage to take my revenge on one of those monkeys that stole a mango and an avocado from me, so yes, I'll be back !
Three points I didn't like, one of which was major. 1/ The major point is the heat in the room. Yes, there is a fan but it blows hot air. 2/. The cottage is a little bit hidden and you have to walk about 5 good minutes to reach the main road (Diani Beach Road). Please DO NOT walk on the pathways leading to the cottage at night for your safety. 3/ The day before we left, some German guests were drunk and making a lot of noise from the pool (+music). They had invited some local women. The loudest was the one in cottage 114 who was carried in drunk and we could heard them having sex at night.

Friendly staff, great to have a small kitchen. You have to walk a bit to the beach but for us it was ok because the accomodation was quiet.
Great pool and we got a nice cold welcome drink!
We loved the cats, but they peed everywhere outside, especially on the pillows outside the room so we couldn't use the couch.
We did not try the restaurant but had a look to the menu. They do not serve vegetarian dishes.

I loved the pool it was just amazing
The cat pets they're so disturbing
