Diani Cottages

"The staff was really friendly and accommodating to my needs. Yonus and Valentine specifically helped me with anything I needed. The breakfast was really good and the room was clean and had all the amenities needed to have a wonderful stay."

"Only issue I had was another guest who was rude to me, but the staff did a great job being supportive and helping accommodate my needs."

"Great location a short walk to the beach and in the heart of Diani with bars, restaurants and a supermarket/small mall within walking distance. Nice having your own private outdoor area too. Staff were very friendly and helpful too."

"There were a couple of maintenance issues when I first arrived, but they were sorted swiftly with no fuss. It’s a bit weird having to pay extra for electricity used, but it was only a small amount in the end. The cottage was a bit dark inside, but I was out most of the day so it didn’t bother me. Perhaps the other cottages are brighter inside due to their location/orientation."

"Quiet and close to shops and restaurants. Breakfast was lovely Staff were friendly and attentive Clean, safe and secure"

"Electricity was charged based on usage, which felt unusual and wasn't clear on booking. That said, it didn’t end up costing that much in the end. However, the lack of transparency around it was upsetting. The staff were lovely throughout, but I do think this could be handled in a clearer way. It affected my first impression quite a bit, and on reflection, my reaction may have been stronger than necessary. Still, the situation left a bit of a mark on my rapport with the otherwise wonderful team. Also, having no TV in the rooms was a surprise also."

"Friendly staff, great location, overall superb experience"

"Waking up to the sound of the German owner shouting at his subordinates for being late for work. Made me feel bad for the personnel. Also the German accent by itself is a bit rough on the ears, especially in the morning"

"personal super and position great. Reactivated wow."

"Nothing"

"Great place. The host organized freshly baked gluten free bread for us which was amazingly delicious. We had a spacious and quiet cottage. We enjoyed the use of the fridge and air conditioning. The electricity bill for 6 nights was very low, reasonable and below 10 dollars. Very kind staff. Clean pool. We rented a kayak nearby and went snorkeling by ourselves with low tide, which was amazing. Thank you!!"

"Aucun."

"Breakfast was lovely and the staff were very accommodating. The cottage was spacious and clean. The complex is set on a side street which is very private with very good security. The pool was lovely too."

"The sink in the kitchen and bathroom had plugs which did not keep the water in. The cupboard doors in the kitchen and living room didn’t shut which detracted from the overall impression. Things were a little tired."

"I can only repeat what I wrote in my previous review when I stayed at this place two years ago. It is a private paradise, my absolute favourite place to stay when traveling. It is the perfect place if you want peace and quiet. Housekeeping comes when you need it, not when a schedule says so. There are restaurants and shopping opportunities just across the road, a 2-minute walk."

"Aucun."

"It was very spacious and the ceiling above the bed kept us cool at night. The staff were very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. Gilbert cleaned the pool daily and also looked after the gardens. The girls looked after us brilliantly and the property manager Gabrielle was available in person daily with helpful hints and recommendations of things to do."

"Just look out for the cheeky monkeys who will try to steal your breakfast when you are not looking."

"Diani Cottages is a great place for a quite getaway. With just a few cottages surrounding the beautiful pool, it is one of the most relaxing places I've stayed in for a long time. Staff serves you a nice breakfast on your porch every morning, even though we had to eat inside a few times to save our food from the local vervet monkeys... The host Gabriele was very helpful and welcoming, and provided great service, such as booking a really great snorkling trip. Staff was over all great and it felt very safe all the time. Due to the large number of pushy beach hustlers, we went on day trips to other places instead of using the beach here. A tuk-tuk to one of the larger resorts is 2-300 Ksh, and then you pay 1500 Ksh for a day pass. But the full amount is redeemable in the bars and restaurants, so its not more expensive than staying at home and go out for lunch."

"The air conditioning was a bit loud, so we ended up not using it night time. But the fans worked great, so it didnt really matter. The cottage we stayed in was close to the main road, so sometimes traffic could be a bit disturbing. If booking here, ask for a cottage away from the road. In the kitchen, I could have wished for a frying pan and not just pots."
