Nothing

Very good food, kind staff, and the general coziness and comfort of the entire experience.

MVUVI LODGE IS A LITTLE SPOT OF PARADISE.SO TRANQUIL AND IMMERSED IN NATURE.THE LODGE IS SMALL AND PEACEFUL THE ROOMS ARE CLEAN TYPICAL BUNGALOW STYLE WITH THATCHED ROOF,BEAUTIFUL.YOU CAN SEE MONKEYS IN THE MORNING AND HEAR BIRDS SING. THE POOL IS PERFECT TO DIP IN AFTER A WALK ALONG THE BEACH WHICH IS A THREE MINIUTS WALK. THE FOOD IS FABULOUS WITH A VAST CHOICE OF FISH PASTA DISHES EXOTIC SALADS. BUT LAST AND MOST IMPORTANTLEY ALL THE STAFF.THEY WERE WONDERFUL AND MADE OUR HOLIDAY UNFORGETABLE.THANKYOU!!!

NOTHING!!

Wonderful place Fantastic staff, excellent cocktails, fresh food Amazing area Love love love

Peaceful place, very green and nice pool area. Good breakfast, nice staff. Only short walk from the beach at Ocean Sports. Well located to reach other places in Watamu by boda/car.

The room was quite dark and not very spacious, but that's okay since we didn't spend much time indoors.

Breakfast was good

Excellent stay! The owner and staff were extremely welcoming and kind. I was there with my two daughters and it felt like being home away from home. The food - all home made - was very tasty, charming rooms, nice bar and swimming pool. Close to the beach, intimate and calm. Real value for money!!!

Wonderful staff, great food! We did halfboard, and we were very happy with the food. Hot shower. No mosquitos in the room :D

Everything was good. Cosy and comfy.

Nice small place for some quiet relaxation time. Pool is lovely, breakfast is great and the staff is amazing.

Our room was not ventilated very well so it stayed quite humid inside. It did not smell so fresh when entering.

Mvuvi lodge is locally owned small and cozy lodge, a little bit outside of Watamu village centre, a couple of hundred metres from the beach. The staff is an absolute gem, very friendly and helpful. They really make you feel at home. The lodge rooms are simple but stylish and very clean. There's a beautiful garden, pool and lounge area with a bar and restaurant onsite. The grilled kingfish was delicious amd beers were cold. If you are looking for a small and personalised place instead of resorts, look no further. It is easy to get a ride to the more touristy parts of the beach, or you can walk 5 km along the white sand. The locals are friendly and they will come to talk to you and try to sell tours etc. Just listen to what is on offer and then decide if you're interested or not. People are just trying to do their job.

The beach access is a bit tricky, you have to find the path, but it's within walking distance. Other option is to take a motorbike taxi (boda) or tuktuk to Barada beach where most tourists gather.

The staff were extremely friendly just to mention a few Renson, Fatima, Saidi (he's so jovial it was a pleasure interacting with him), the lady who cleaned our room (apologies we forgot to get her name) she did such a beautiful room set up for us and the entire staff really. It was also great to meet Justin and Ceci who've put in a lot to make sure the place stays a gem! We also loved the proximity to the beach and the exclusivity/privacy.

When we arrived, we realised the location is really good and so is the Lodge! Its pretty, white and blue with great aesthetics. The room was quite spacious, bathroom was beautiful. Overall a very nice clean place to stay. What I found really disappointing was the food. We had not opted for breakfast (think it was 10$ PP) so we decided to pay for breakfast and we instantly regretted it. I would have given this property 9/10 if I had not had that breakfast here. They gave us half a slice of bed topped with avocados and a single pancake with no syrup and it costed us almost 15$. Across the street is Hemingways, a luxury resort where I paid a little more than what I paid at Mvuvi and had a big hearty meal enjoying the view of the sea. I would recommend not eating here. The lodge a short walk to the beach but the beach was not very nice at this time of the year, full of sea weeds but we did do a boat ride and a snorkel trip for which the starting point was quite close to the Lodge.

Staff attitude - Not friendly/warm/helpful. Food -Need to really improve in quality, portions.

It was okay.

TV in the rooms.

The location and the facility is pretty great and well kept

The breakfast. I think much can be done to improve it. Not enough is provided and the ticking makes it feel like asking for more is strictly not allowed.

Cosy natural set up

The small bush before the cottage🙆

Very nice place. Felt like home.

Very relaxed place to chill at the pool and in the hammock

Value for money is an issue: it’s even cheaper to dine at the superior Ocean Sports Hotel at the beach. And for a 10$ breakfast I wouldn’t expect to get the cheapest available tea bags

staffs are very friendly and responsive

breakfast wasn’t included

Very nice people and good opportunities for kite surfing, SUP, etc. Also the food was a bit expensive, but excellent. In general a very good quality for an very OK price

Only the bathroom smelled a little bit, beside that everything very fine
