The hotel was beautiful, very spacious rooms, friendly and professional staff, amazing food ( we had a 4 course meal every evening) and recommendations for local attractions, shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend to couples looking for a romantic getaway in Kenya. If we are ever back in Kenya we will return! Thank you, Rachael and Steve read less

For the excursions we relied on Rama Russo, amazing service and price and we had an unforgettable safari in Tsavo EST, Rama always treat you as a friend rather than his customer. He is very well organised and takes pride in what he does, he will make you feel like at home. read less

The food is excellent, fresh and lovingly prepared. The privacy of the guests is paramount and no walk-in lunch or dinner guests are usually allowed, unless one of the guests requests it. The service was always great and the Swahili design of the rooms adds an exquisite touch to the interior design. One can hear the ocean at night, the rooms are spacious and there are nice walking paths. The hosts are Italian and part of a large community of Italians calling Malindi and Watamu home. They will tell you what you should pay for transport, the best place to watch the sun going down and other valuable information to help you make your stay memorable. Complimentary tea and coffee with cake are served in the afternoon. Lonno Lodge is very near the snake park and other tourist attractions. The airport is 30 minutes away and you only need to arrive an hour or so before the flight. Great place with excellent hosts. read less

The hospitality and customer experience that Silvia accorded to us made us feel at home and comfortable. It's a quiet place, very private, good to go and unwind, the meals are well thought through, quite creative but also very delicious. You are kept guessing, what will the next meal be coz they keep mixing it up in a creative way. The rooms are clean and well thought through, providing several spots to sit and relax. We will stay again and it was an experience to remember. read less

The look of everything was so beautiful and calming - architecture, design, rooms, views! The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and made me feel so relaxed and at home. Sylvia and Aldo, the owners, were so kind and genuine. I loved chatting with them and they were always super helpful if I had a question. I felt totally restored at this place. ALSO, BONUS, I need to eat a gluten-free diet and the Lonno Lodge was absolutely *amazing*! The food was already so delicious, but on top of that they had these incredible quality gf options for me at each meal. I couldn’t believe I was able to enjoy bread and pasta with everyone else (and their pasta sauces were soo good!). This is a fantastic place to stay- I totally loved it and would definitely stay there again! read less
