Everything was beautiful and great the service outstanding. The only issue we had is the tv that came in the suite never worked the 6 days we were there . We got a suite specially to rest in the room and they couldn’t fix it. Everything else was amazing food great I would stay there again

Excellent location at the seafront close to main Paje attractions, bar by the beach with good food and live music on Saturdays.
This time we have stayed in the Suite facing the beach that has a direct access to the beach. For this price we found that the bed was not up to the level: to get into it you have to climb over a wide (and tall) wooden part sticking out from under the mattress. Staff is friendly but not always efficient. Breakfast is not up to the level of the residence: too greasy and too basic. Overall ratio price for Suites / quality is not satisfactory.

Perfect beachfront location
The toilet did not have a door, which was uncomfortable

- amazing view from the room C4 - convenient sunbeds, a bit higher than the beach level so you get a bit of protection from the beachboys
- extremely hard beds, I was waking up with numb hips. They put a topper for the second night but it was still too hard - the air conditioner is super weak - the male personnel engages in longer small talk than we were comfortable keeping talking (us being 2 females)

Beautiful location —great beach. Very attentive and lovely staff. Good food. Well maintained pool/deck/property
Air conditioning was barely adequate. And that was with an outdoor temperature of only about 28 so if it was hot, it would’ve been a big problem.

Mahali was a HOME to me and my friends and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm, safe and beautiful place to stay while in Paje. The service, music/ entertainment, and care if top notch.

The location is incredible!! Right on Paje beach, close to the market, restaurants, supermarkets and bars. The staff were super nice! Loved the live music nights in both this and the sister hotel (Zula)
The room and bathroom especially feels outdated, it’s very comfortable and spacious but feels a bit old.

Great breakfast Great staff Good restaurant Nice clean pool Amazing beachfront location
Disappointing pickup at 9:30pm…phone call by us and call back by hotel until 15 min later driver sauntered the 4 metres from where he was parked all along. He proceeded to drive way too fast to hotel. Same guy S, drove us back to airport. Shortly after leaving hotel he stopped and picked up his “ brother “. We had no say and had to open windows the rest of the way due to his body odour. S talked on his phone most of the way driving unsafely and distracted at times. We felt uncomfortable with this added person who sat in the front and the two of them talked away when S not on phone.

We absolutely loved everything here that we decided to come back again to Pajs and cut our northern trip short just to be near the amazing vibes of Mahali/Paje. Staff was very friendly, they helped us with everyrhing we needed, the pool area and restraurant were very clean. Food variety in the restaurant was amazing, breakfast was very delicious. The view is spectacular, seriously it could not have been better! The music night they had on saturday was such a joy!
Furniture in the rooms is slightly dated but is ok.

Care and attention to detail, great reasonably priced food, perfect beachside location and great staff - nothing too much for them! Great attention to detail - clearly hotel run by people who know what travellers want. Loved that you could refill water bottles and you got a welcome coconut - easy and cheap to do but so many establishments don't do this, there is a "help yourself" tea and coffee available through out the day, with homemade biscuits. Also, great homemade elements to the breakfast - homemade granola, toast and jam. Rooms clean, simply furnished but just what you need. Lovely shower wash. Good communication prior to arrival and hotel staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We visited in the rainy season, so slightly more quiet spot than it would be normally, but this suited us perfectly. Great beach bar and restaurant vibes with reasonably priced food (especially when you check out the prices at other establishments along the beach front). I will definitely be back!

We loved our week's stay at Mahali. The room was very comfortable, with a large balcony looking out on the ocean. Plenty of sun loungers by the pool and beach, and also many comfy places to enjoy a drink or a meal. Everything we ate was delicious, and the staff are incredible... very friendly and helpful all around. They truly made us feel at home. We look forward to our next stay!

The stay in this hotel will forever be memorable! At first, i was shocked and didn’t have much high expectations considering that I was coming from a 5 stars hotel stay… but as soon as I received my room it all changed! First the room was facing the sea directly, very well organized, and the staff were beyond kind and friendly. Hearing nothing but the sound of the ocean at night was truly fascinating. The hotel restaurant has super yummy food and at very reasonable prices. The full staff are so friendly, always smiling and caring ? even the monkeys there are so cute! Would definitely come back again!
