"Beautiful place to wind down with kind staff"

10.0

I can not put in words how much I loved this place and the amount of gratitude I have for the manager. It’s a beautiful serene place with a beautiful pool area and delicious food as well as great apartments. The people working here are super friendly, beyond kind and helpful. Even during a medical emergency they remained calm and supportive.

Nothing not to like here

"Higly recommend!"

10.0

What an unexpected gem at the end of our holiday. It only has 3 rooms with amazing view and lovely staff. Our 3 year old daughter loved Ali who was so kind to play we her constantly. We stayed here 3 nights which was perfect because it is very secluded. Perfect for chill and some excursions. Food was lovely too. Thanks all!

"Exceptional"

10.0

This has to be the best place on Mafia island. Set apart from town, on a bluff with a commanding view of the sea, and the sunset, three very stylish - and huge - rooms, large infinity pool, great food, superb manager in Ali and his excellent assistant Salama. Mafia is great - a paradise Indian Ocean island just open enough to be accessible and for everything to be easy to arrange - but it feels like the big tourist rush is yet to arrive. And Kilekeni, a short hop from town, the airport or the busier east coast, is one of its most serene and supremely relaxing spots.

"Wonderful lodge with unparalleled views and super welcoming team"

10.0

Ali and his team provided superior service catering to our every need, whether it was last minute activity, transport or meal request. Super welcoming team doing their utmost to make us feel at home.

Only downside to staying at Kileleni is that the WiFi connections is somewhat unstable, which wasn't a great deal given that we were looking for much a needed digital detox. However, when we had to settle the bill at the end of our stay it did require a couple of tries to complete the payment on their 4G enabled PoS terminal.

"Hotel was over sold on last night of my booking"

2.0

Great hotel and staff. I recommend staying here. There is a lovely view of the ocean. I booked and paid for 3 nights on Hotels.com. When I arrived at the hotel I learned from the staff that the last night was double booked by the hotel staff. The reason provided for overbooking was slow internet speeds but I received a confirmation email from the hotel the day I booked the room. I was able to find an alternative hotel on my own located in downtown. Great hotel experience except for the terrible booking experience.

"Restful stay at a small, quiet, clean and well appointed hotel with attentive staff"

9.0

Beautiful new and well appointed hotel. Crisp laundry and spotless towels. Attentive and helpful staff. Beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea. A place for peace and quiet - esp beach combing and bird watching along the mangrove fringed shore.

Perfect for us - but for info the hotel doesn't have a sandy beach. It has access to the sea but as with much of Mafia it is fringed with Magroves. Still great for beach coming and bird watching but If you want white sand beaches then Mafia is not the island for you. Its more a place to see fantastic coral, swim with whalesharks (in the season) and generally slow down.

"Wonderfully relaxing resort"

10.0

We stayed at Kileleni January 2-4. It opened 6 months before and is away from the main beaches. It also sits on the cliff. For beach goers, this may not be ideal. We loved the location because it was very chill and had everything we needed. The bungalows are spacious, clean and well appointed. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was great as well. We definitely recommend!
