“Beautiful quiet hotel in its own oasis!”
+We loved Simba House… it was perfect for what we wanted. Clean, well maintained pool, large room, comfortable bed and large balcony to chill. Daniel, Patrick and the cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. We liked the small kitchenette where we could make breakfast. We loved all the trees and garden.
−The nearest beach had a lot of seaweed when we were there so we ended up travelling to other beaches.

“Great stay!”
+Lovely facilities with a pool to cool down in at the end of the day. Hosts were helpful and informative. The kettle they provided in the room was great as i could boil all my drinking water - no plastic waste! Just outside the accommodation all types of transport are readily available to take in the sights of Watamu - bio ken snake farm, Arabuko Sokoke Forest reserve, Gede ruins, Mida Creek for mangrove boardwalk and canoe ride with guide, and Small beach.

“Excellent rooms, delicious breakfast and great location”
+The rooms were excellent,comfortable, clean, and equipped with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the fast internet, the ceiling fan, the fridge and the strong hot water pressure, which made our stay very comfortable. The pool was another highlight: clean, refreshing, and perfect for relaxing after a hot day. Breakfast exceeded our expectations every morning. It was delicious, generous, and served by the kindest and sweetest lady, whose warmth made the experience even better. A special mention goes to Pluto, the owners’ adorable puppy, who instantly became our personal highlight. The property is owned by an Italian couple. While the lady of the house didn’t make us feel particularly welcomed during check‑in, she did check on us occasionally throughout our stay, and we genuinely appreciated that. The gentleman, on the other hand, was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. We also noticed we were the only non‑Italians staying there,and at times it felt like we were the only non‑Italians in all of Watamu,which was more amusing than anything else.

“Non all’altezza delle aspettative”
+La vicinanza al mare Il cambio degli asciugamani/ riordino stanza
−La camera aveva un forte odore di muffa presente per tutto il soggiorno. L’insonorizzazione non é stata delle migliori e si sentivano chiaramente le voci degli altri ospiti. Al nostro arrivo il bagno era pieno di insetti, segno di mancanza di disinfezione prima dell’arrivo degli ospiti. La colazione era poco varia.
