Stayed here once a few years back and loved it to the extent we returned . Even better this time with a new vegetarian menu that provides even more reason to stay . This is probably the most relaxing place to stay at I've ever found . Lovely architecture and exquisite food with impeccable service. Real tough combo to beat.... More

After four days in a game camp we wanted to be away from it all in comfort and tranquility. We found it!! We started off in Master room 2, a lovely spacious room overlooking the infinity pool and further out across the Indian Ocean. The impeccable service started immediately. Nothing was ever too much trouble for any of the staff... More

We were looking for privacy. We found the MBH ! In MBH you’re at home. It’s an amazing place to rest, enjoy the sun, take a winter break ! We had booked the Lamu House # 3. Monkeys were visiting us in the morning, they were playing in the trees… We enjoyed every minute there. The large, infinity pool looking... More

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Msambweni Beach House. The main house and villas are set in beautiful lush gardens, and come with gorgeous views of the blue ocean. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, and we very much enjoyed both the pool at the main house and the one in our private villa. The whole place has... More

We spent the last 4 nights of our holiday at the hotel. The safari camps had set really high standards but Msambweni House did not disappoint us! The place is beautiful, quite isolated (a plus for us but do not go there if you are interested in the town amenities, night life, bars and water sport facilities!) and facing a... More

Msambweni is a lovely, Swahili-style house right on the beach. The food was good ( we had a lovely barbecue on the beach one night), the rooms were simply decorated but clean and really relaxing, with a large balcony. The pool is beautiful and one of the villas has its own private pool. The staff are helpful without being too... More

We stayed at Msambweni Beach House for 6 days following 6 nights on safari. This place needed to be something exceptional to compete with the safari camps that we stayed at. We were greeted on arrival by Terri with cool towels and a refreshing drink. This set the tone for the entire stay. The staff were very attentive without being... More

We are still at MBH and having a wonderful time. The staff is gracious and the rooms are beautiful. I tend to disagree with the previous post. The owner is here and took me into all of the rooms and villas to see the decorating. All of them are really beautiful. The main house rooms have beautiful ocean views and... More

Msambweni Beach House is a truly special place. If you are looking for a relaxing break in a beautiful spot then this is the place for you. We stayed in the main house which was absolutely immaculate. Although there are a couple other rooms the whole place is so tranquil and quiet it didn't really feel like a hotel, more... More

We loved our time in Villa III at Msambweni - I cannot recommend it highly enough. Fabulous design, views, service and sooooo relaxing. We and our two boys loved it. Hope we come back some day soon. Special thanks to Terri and congratulations to Frederick - a wonderful achievement.
