The hospitality of the hotel is amazing. They provided me everything I need, I had to catch a midnight flight and they even prepare me boxes of food just because I had breakfast included in my package. The vibe here is very chill. Highly recommended to have a stay here.
Cons: food in general is abit salty. And choice is less

Villa Kiva, Matemwa is an oasis down a dusty track outside the village. Its beautiful well-maintained garden leads to the main building, where staff are well-trained and attentive. The room we had booked was at the back, overlooking the surrounding scrubland, but when staff realised we weren’t thrilled, they moved us to a much better room facing the sea. There is a huge shady area to catch the breeze, which we found a life-saver as the beach was too hot to sunbathe. Food here is excellent - and not as expensive as the surroundings would suggest. We only stayed 2 days, as we were covering a lot of the island in a 3 week trip, but would be happy spending a couple of weeks holiday here, which is what a lot of people seem to do. The village itself has a few shops, but no ATM. Our only problem was nothing to do with the hotel, just a local hassle-merchant, who threatened violence after shouting ‘no photo’ when I was photographing the palm trees fringing the beach - with no people in the shot

We had an amazing time at Villa Kiva on our honeymoon. The place was beautiful and we had a lovely room with incredible views of the beach. Everything was kept very clean and the staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. There were lots of activities on offer and we were encouraged to do as little or as much as we desired. Food was good and there were plenty of vegetarian options. We liked how all the staff knew and remembered who we were. They made us feel very welcome and we are so grateful for the fantastic time we had.

Relaxing days after safari in Serengeti. A small hotel with familyfeeling, very soft and relaxing feeling and everything is clean. Great breakfast (not buffe), the lunch and dinner is good but its the same menu. The rooms are ok, not luxery at all but ok. The beds are hard 😞.

The resort was ok, food was not so great and beds hard as a rock, pillows as well. We made it through but for the money, I would expect a little better. The place is dated and tired but clean. Staff is friendly once they warm up to you. Housekeeping was the most delightful as they left different towel caricatures on the bed every day and were happy to fulfill any requests.
