Nice pool Very quiet when we were there Walk to beach ,Hemingways

I would have liked to have spent more time.

What I liked Muwvi is an oasis. It has a story behind it that you need to discover for yourself. It has a heart for its visitors. It also responds to and respects the natural environment.

Everything you need.

Stayed in April 2025

The shower and tap water is salty. Mattress is overused. I would book again, not budget room.

Staff is super friendly. They organise for you whatever you like. The property is lovely, very chill vibes. Location is great, walking distance to shops, restaurants, beach !

Stayed in March 2025

The rooms were lovely. There was an odd smell in the upstairs twin room but not within the downstairs double rooms.

Staff are wonderful and go over and beyond for guests! Peaceful and quiet hotel

Stayed in November 2024

We stayed in the twin room and it did not have air con, whereas the double rooms all seemed to have air con so this was the only downside. But there was a fan in the room, however this is not as good as having air con.

Quiet, serene and relaxing away from the hassle and bustle! This is a wonderful place to stay if you are looking for some peace and relaxation within close proximity to the beach. They also have the swimming pool on site which is lovely.

Stayed in November 2024

Best place to stay in Watamu by a mile. Very chilled, great breakfast, great restaurant and bar, good selection of games and entertainment, and the staff are incredible - super friendly and always going out of their way to help. Diana on the bar was a legend! Justin the owner always looking for ways to improve, which will be tough as Mvuvi is already 10/10.

Stayed in August 2024

Our bed was relatively small and might need a new mattress

Mvuvi is a very pretty and small lodge, carefully kept and tastefully decorated. The staff is very friendly and accommodating to the needs of the guest. Excellent customer service!

Stayed in August 2024

No air-con just fans but depending on time of year it is still comfortable.

It’s a beautiful, traditionally styled, friendly staffed, quiet, homely little hideaway in the middle of Watamu, a perfect base for exploring the area and a short tactic/boda ride to beaches and nightspots.

Stayed in June 2024

My stay at Mvuvi Lodge was just perfect. The place is really beautiful and relaxing. The staff is amazing : so kind, friendly, and always there to help you if you need anything. The food is excellent.

Stayed in May 2024

The sleeping area and room itself felt a little cramped with no real area for dipping into your suitcase.

Lovely secluded and quiet. Use of private beach. Showers were excellent. Food was excellent

Stayed in April 2024

Nice staff, pool area was nice with a shaded area out of the sun. Good selection of drinks and music also.

Stayed in March 2024

Great location, wonderful staff, very good food.

Stayed in April 2024

Everything was great and clean. The only thing was the pool water that were so hot that one could not cool down at all. BUT that is due to the warm tropical climate and out of the Controle of the lodge. lol!

This is just an amazing little hotel just of the beaten track and the major hotels with very easy access to the beach ( walking distance ) . The staff Justin ( Owner ) and Fransis (Barmen) went out of their way to always help. Fransis even made me and my wife a plate of fries 12:00 at night after the kitchen were closed. We returned very late after we went back to Mombasa to fetch our luggage that were left behind in Addis Ababa.

Stayed in March 2024

Access to the (public) beach is a bit of a walk / moto taxi ride

Extremely friendly people, cosy place with few rooms, amazing food, chill vibes

Stayed in March 2024

Access to water and power seems limited/ controlled and it can get a little loud some mornings (well, I don’t want to I wake up to loud conversations and this is what happened but don’t let this put you off)

Everything- stunning, staff is friendly and attentive and it is never loud. This place is exactly what I needed and it is owned by a local family (this should be commonplace but coastal Kenya is very much neocolonized). They pay attention to details. It’s impossible to be here and not feel like you’re at the best joint in town.

I wish the holiday never ends so I could stay there!

It is a 10 out of 10 for this hidden gem in Watamu! Each and every part of our stay was absolutely stunning. From the moment we stepped in, we felt welcome as family. Staff is always there to help making you feel like at home at the same time. Food is simply the best you will eat in town (try the fish of the day or the Indian Ocean salad). Justin is an amazing host, he went well beyond his duties to make our stay unforgettable. The rooms are comfortable, nice and well equipped (beds have nets, too). The place itself is adorable, with a relaxing and cozy atmosphere. Apart from English and Swahili, Justin and his team all speak Italian, which is a plus. Should you be lucky enough to find availability, do not think of it twice and book ahead. Justin, thank you so much for having us, we loved every moment of our time at Mvuvi and will definitely be back. Asante sana! Daria, Simone, Davide and Elena from Italy

Everything was great!

Quiet resort tucked away with pool and bar and a great restaurant. It's quiet and relaxing. They show major sports events and only a short walk to the beach and dive centre.

Stayed in October 2023

Breakfast could start a bit earlier than 8:00

Small place with few rooms and very nice setup

Stayed in August 2023

There was nothing I didn't like.

Everything was perfect. The staff were amazing, food was great and the manager Justin was a lovely guy and really helpful. If I ever go back to Watamu I will definitely stay at Mvuvi Lodge.

Stayed in July 2023

There’s just something about the place. Even if the bed sucked, we didn’t want to complain.

Perfect location close to the beach, walking distance, and the comfortable atmosphere. Perfect place for a couple who want to relax and not be disturbed. Great breakfast.

Nothing to dislike at all.

What a fantastic find. A home away from home atmosphere and couldn’t fault. Friendly staff who were so accommodating. Everyone knows your name and its like being part of the family. Delicious food and cocktails… cool vibe, and a chilled place to relax. Nothing is too much trouble. Air conditioning and WiFi. Sun loungers are great and beds are so comfy. A masseur is on standby if needed and she’s brilliant. Will definitely be back. Thanks to everyone at Mvuvi Lodge 😃😃
