Beautiful place, nice pool and own cottage where everything you need is found. Friendly staff! The gardeners and security were especially so nice to us and other staff too! Also we liked the location.Good shower with a good pressure and warm water. Watch out that monkeys don't steal your stuff.

At first most of the customers were older Germans with local young girlfriends. Seemed like a group of granpas were on a sex vacation.. But when they left, the atmosphere and place was beautiful and quiet.

The grounds and pool area are lovely and very well maintained, it has a really chilled vibe and feels really safe. The cottages themselves are really cute and have everything you would need. The breakfast was lovely (the chef makes a perfect omelette!) and the menu is extremely good value for money! Overall, the staff are what makes the hotel special, everyone was so lovely and chilled, always happy to have a chat! If you’re planning a visit to Diani I would highly recommend!

I loved the place. Unfortunately I only stayed 2 nights, I was meeting friends at another place. The room is nicely decorated and offers kitchen facilities with a fridge, cooking utensils and a stove . Everything was very clean. There are also beach/pool towels. There is a table outside with 4 chairs to enjoy meals out. Although, like in any place tropical place there are mosquitos! The pool was absolutely gorgeous and so fun to enjoy. Really worth it. If you don;t want to cook or go out to eat there is a restaurant. I would definitely go back.

Needs better and newer pillows and nicer bedsheets. The bedsheet was very thin and too small for the bed. The bed should be made before travellers arrive.

It has a nice atmosphere, staff is very helpful and friendly! Its a little house with everything you need. I like to cook and when the stove didnt work properly they switch me to another room where everything was working and they carried my luggage for me. Thanks again! The pool is nice and good tempratuur for swimming in the evening.

The location on Booking.com is not the real location... Look at google maps for the real location.

I have been there between Nov. 13 and 18 in a split-level for three persons. The house was a horror! We had to force the door every time we wanted to get in. It was dirty, very used, in a bad shape. We felt very unwell, but as we were more persons, we had to accept it. I recommend an integral reform of the unit. Later, from Nov. 26 to 29, we had a house for two people. It was very different, like I remember when I was there four years ago! Decent, clean... So, my impression is very ambigious, but I think the owner of the cottages should make an effort and fix the first house so I would like to come back. The place is gorgeous. But also the restaurant should be changed. We hardly got drinks because there were none and we had to order them from outside. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I think, it is the fault of the owner not to maintain the place properly.

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 ☺️

The swimming pool and the breakfast.

The rooms weren’t cleaned every day (mainly the bin wasn’t emptied and the bed wasn’t made). But after 3 days I asked for it to be done and it was done immediately. I think it was an oversight because the hotel was busy.

The cottage is beautiful with a magnificent clean swimming pool. The staff is amazing and always willing to help.

In the evening, better to reach the place with a Tuk Tuk, motorbike or taxi.
