This resort was the most Magical and Peaceful place I've ever stayed. The staff deserves a raise because of how attentive and nice they were. The breakfast was so delicious and there was endless options to choose from. I enjoyed my stay so much I didn't want to leave the property. The only suggestion I would have is to offer dessert on their menu. But I would recommend Tombo House to anyway who wants to enjoy nature and wants to get away from the boring ambience of chain hotels.

A great found !

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel situated in a nice peaceful tropical garden. The design of the place is really nice, mixing traditional elements to contemporary ones. The rooms are very spacious , with a large dressing room. There are tea and coffe facilities in the room that are refilled every day. Even the kettle is refilled everyday. A detail i really appreciated. Breakfast is great and served in a very nice open space. The staff is super friendly. We also had lunch by the pool which was also great. I really recommend this hotel.

Die Unterkunft ist etwas versteckt in der Nähe eines Waldes. Für uns perfekt, weil es ruhig und sehr grün war. Der Strand ist Fußläufig erreichbar. Das Personal ist ausnahmslos freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir würden das Tombo House jederzeit empfehlen!

A Wonderful stay

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights. I have traveled in work for 30 years and have stayed have more than 1000 hotel nights. Our aim was to relax and get away from our busy lives This place delivered. Very relaxed environment full of trees and wild life. Large rooms with lovely coastal designs. Very well ventilated. Lovely dipping pool. The staff is warm and the cocktails are cold. The beaches are very close and alot of places to go for food. We wanted a get away, we found paradise.

Great stay in Diani

We stayed at the Tombo House for 7 days and had a great stay. The room was spacious and beautiful in a minimalistic style. Tombo House is placed inside its own big garden which is beautiful with a lot of different plants, a swimming pool, a nice area with a bar where you can chill and a rich animal life. Seeing birds and monkeys from your balcony adds to the experience. The highlight of the place is the people. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. Especially the two girls in the breakfast kitchen do an amazing job! Should I mention one thing that could be improved it would be the pillows. There is one small pillow per person. Additional pillows or bigger pillows would be great. Would recommend this place to everyone who wants a relaxing stay in Diani.

A perfect stay in Kenya

This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The area is a lush garden with a great pool, and the rooms and amenities are spotless with great attention to detail. Breakfast is really good and service impeccable. A true gem. The walk to the beach is about 10 mins.

Amazing in every way!

Me and my husband spent part of our honeymoon here and we couldn’t have had a better experience. The property is so beautiful, a lush peaceful oasis. Nora, Daniel and their staff are incredibly helpful and accommodating. We had massage and manicure come to our room and it was so convenient (it was the best message we have had in our lives). We got great recommendations for food, beaches to go to and it was really nice to have our own designated tuk tuk driver that the hotel connected us to. I would absolutely recommend this place and we can’t wait to come back again one day.
