    Amazing tree houses with fresh breeze, monkey sounds, and beautiful nature. Friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Best tomato soup and yummy Chapati. Experience feeding bush babies at 19.00. Nearby beach with plenty of dining options. Will definitely return.

    The location was great, just a short walk away from the beach. the food at the hotel was tasty and served in generous portions.

    the staff seemed to be more interested in selling additional services than providing good customer service. They became rude and unhelpful when I didn't purchase these services.

    I had the most mind-blowing time at this jaw-dropping oasis! From the moment I arrived, everything was super clean and the shared bathrooms were spotless. The refreshing showers were a fantastic way to start the day. The close proximity to the beach was unbeatable, and I loved spotting amazing monkeys and birds along the way. The staff was beyond great, always going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Even though I'm not a beach person, I found myself completely recharged and rejuvenated when I left.

    I had a truly remarkable experience at Stilts. The feeling of sleeping in the tropical forest was unforgettable. The comfortable bed and beautiful accommodations added to the magic. The staff went above and beyond with their exceptional friendliness and helpfulness. I was in awe of the phenomenal bush baby feeding experience. Additionally, being able to swim at Flamboyant, the sister property on the beach, was a major highlight. The option to dine at both properties and charge it to my room made me feel truly pampered.

    I had an amazing stay at this unique property, just steps away from a stunning beach in Diani. The accommodation was comfortable and spacious, with options ranging from shacks on stilts to large tents. The bar provided a great place to relax in the evenings, and the WiFi was a plus. One of the highlights was the evening feeding of the Bush Babies, where the owner, Wayne, shared interesting facts about these adorable animals. I also appreciated the option to have secure safe boxes for my valuables. Although the food mostly consisted of burgers and chips, I would have liked more information on the sourcing of the ingredients. Despite being labeled as a backpacker's place, it had a more upscale vibe. I highly recommend this beautiful property for all types of travelers.

    Stayed at Stilts, enjoyed the garden, free parking, and evening entertainment. Loved having a bite at the restaurant and a drink at the bar. Wi-Fi was free so I could post my amazing time at Stilts on social media.

    Oh, and let's not forget the fabulous nearby attractions, like Colobus Conservation and Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest. All in all, a great experience!

    The facilities at Stilts Diani Beach were fantastic, with a beautiful common area and a café/bar/restaurant that served reasonably priced and delicious food. the chalets and lodges provided comfortable beds and amazing showers. As friends who enjoy going out at night, we felt safe and welcomed by the easy-going and friendly staff. the location was perfect, only a couple of minutes' walk from the beach, allowing us to enjoy long walks and refreshing swims.

    Nothing was too much trouble for them.

    The value for money at Stilts was excellent, I got a free upgrade to a treehouse and it was an amazing experience. The location was perfect, near the beautiful beach and town, and the staff treated me really well.

    Breakfast selection could be improved with more variety.
