Cant complain about anything except for the laundry. They charged me 2000 for a small bag of laundry after which I complained and still had to pay 1000 - which is still way too much but I had to check out and leave so didn’t make anything more out of it. Advice for Kijani: put fixed laundry prices at the reception Advice for travelers: make sure you know what you pay before committing to a service

The place is really close to the sea, there is a lovely pool, there is no hot water in the shower as it should be, the shower is not working properly, and they say that they do not work with this site, they caused problems for me when I ordered through this site, overall it gave value for the price.

I spent two weeks at Kijani’s and had a mix of experiences. This place is a hidden gem in Kenya, perfect for those seeking an exotic getaway. It’s just a short walk to the beach and close to Ukunda airport, set in lush greenery with the soothing sounds of birds and monkeys. The staff is outstanding, always ready to assist and ensure you have a great time.
