The staff was very helpful and we had great communication Daniele. The pool was always clean and the rooms were cleaned daily, and they were very clean. Also the breakfast was good, made everything we wanted to eat.

Mida Creek Hotel has to be one of the most undiscovered gems in Africa. The most incredible place to unwind, relax and soak in the coastline. This is our 4th time visiting year on year and we look forward to coming back every year :-)

Great location. Really well maintained. Great garden, pool and proximity to the beach. We visited the expensive resorts down the other end but the beaches not as nice and didn't have the same feel. We stayed in Bijou Room 1 for a week and would easily stay again. Really clean, new and homey. Benjamin and the team were extremely polite and helpful. They allowed us to extend our stay and booked us onto the train back to Nairobi and arranged a transfer to Mombosa. You could hire yourself a motorbike or car for the stay but we found it easy enough to flag down motorbikes or tuk tuks as needed. Just make sure you have enough change or ask to stop at the petrol station to change it.

I had such a lovely stay! Sophia was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive from the moment I booked. She made me feel truly welcomed and at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. Highly recommend her as a host! The room was clean, cozy, and exactly as pictured, peaceful, with a beautiful breeze and great lighting. I slept so well and felt safe throughout my stay.

    Julie & her team were most attentive, welcoming and accomodating to our requests and questions and made our stay wonderful. It is definitely a kid friendly place where one can relax reading a book and kids can play, particularly during the warmest hours of the day. The breakfast is rich, the room spacious and it is only a 300/400 KES tuktuk ride away from the nearest beach. Great value for money and friendly atmosphere!
