It’s a beautiful wooden roofed home with exquisite, antique decor and lush a garden. Small and intimate.
The water pressure lacked sometimes.

This was my first solo vacation, and I wanted a quiet, peaceful, and tranquil boutique hotel. African House Resort checked all the boxes and more. The décor is amazing, the garden is beautiful and well-maintained, and the cabanas were clean and extremely comfortable.
At check-in, I wasn’t given a thorough walk-through of the room and the hotel. I had to figure out for myself how to control the fan settings. I found the refrigerator on day two. I wasn’t provided with the Wi-Fi password. Although it wasn’t a big issue for me, the TVs do not work. Most concerning and a fire hazard was the lock to my room. I got locked in and had to call the reception to let me out.

The hotel is pretty about 900m from the beach. You just need to cross the main street. The pool and outfoor is exceptional. The staff, esoecially Mombasa is wonderful.
The rooms need a luttle renovation

Its a very nice authentic cosy hotel. I think in total 8 rooms. Rooms are looking towards the pool. The pool is a goid size to swim.Its not on the beach, but you can walk to the beach, its inly a km away. The rooms are clean, sometimes we did not have hot water, but once we told the staff the water was ok. There is a safe in the room, airconditioning, moswuito nets. Mombasa was a grsat host and tried everything in his power to make us feel welcome and comfortable. I even got gluten free pancakes for breakfast. All in all it was a wonderful experience.

This was our second visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the quietness and beauty of the place. African House is a very special place thanks to the utmost care being taken to curate the surroundings and make it like a museal place. For anyone enjoying a retreat away from the hassle of urban life, that's it.
We informed the staff that there should be serious work on the water pipes and water pressure as the issue has been preventing water in the shower to run properly. If the owner's dog has a bad night, sleep can suffer.

Poor
Gardens are well cared and Mombasa who is a lovely man and basically seems to run the entire place, staff generally friendly, not all.
Where do I start. On the surface, looks OK, but actually after 3 days this is a sad, soulless tired place, more akin to a furniture warehouse, filled to the rafters with huge nasty carved wood sofas making it all very dark, with scratchy cushions, unnecessary huge 20 ft giraffes and elephants are overkill but nice staff -besides the receptionist watching the football on his phone when trying to talk to him. 3 Cockroaches, 2 within 2 meters of the kitchen, none of the seafood was on the menu and the food looks nothing like the photos on booking.com - the greek salad we ordered came with parmesan not feta, chips were great. Fridge in our room was a freezer so could not keep anything cool, room was good size and quiet, one of the other Cockroaches was sat in the bidet. Towels by the pool and bathrobes were stained, tired - we used our own. Dining room is soulless and the table cloth stained where left on the table for what might be years, the glasses on show had layers of dust and this started us wondering what the cleanliness of the this place and worse if things like the ice cubes are made with distilled water - suffice to say we did not eat or drink here at this point. ITS also a 20 min walk down a dirt track to the beach, NOT 300 metres, something the reception guy told us is an error of many years on the marketing sites. You have to get a TukTuk if you want to go to the beach. All in all, I would never return, never recommend and this is a sorry state of affairs for what may have been once a nice place, the only good thing is the pool, gardens and Mombasa a member of staff.
