Consider bed and breakfast option

Stayed in August 2025

The guests who were partying in their room very loudly, late into the night and security did not care to let them know they were disturbing other guests.

Due to an issue with our accommodation, we made a late night booking at the Upani which they accepted and ensured there was someone to meet/check us in. This was appreciated since other hotels in the area would not accept us so late at night. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the serene and natural surroundings. The swimming pool was amazing. It felt like a warm bath that you didn’t want to get out of.

The monkey robbed us through the open patio door

Nice quiet place very close to the beautiful beach and bars

All was well, except this part of sharing the kitchen and Terrace with the staff. We had to cook in turns or wait for one another, which wasn't so comfortable, a time we had to stay in the room or leave since we needed Space, Privacy &quietness but mostly they were resting on the Terrace and we didn't want to bother either. Not so close to shopping Centre too but once you do your full shopping for the stay then you're sorted

The staff were nice , the pool was so clean and quiet, and the security guy at night was of so much help and friendly as well. When lights went off or got problems with the shower settings, he's always there to help. When we had little problems with our room, they managed to change us in the next one, which was closer to our expectations .Oh! we managed to meet George the Tortoise 😂 too. The Villa is very close to the beach. I normally use 3 mins to reach there so that I be able to catch my morning sunrise.

Most staff not around for help. Mosquito net broken. Cold shower only. Noisy fans in the rooms.

Very beautiful pool area. Kitchen has basic equipment for cooking. Quiet. Max 5 min walk to the beach.

We had a few incidents with some monkeys but everything was sorted in the end. And I guess mosquitoes are an issue there. Not sure, but I guess some electric UV mosquito killers would help

The pool, the house, the silence. Staff was great. Abdullah, Maureen, Cye and Dorkas ( I hope I got the names right) were fantastic. They kept everything so clean and tidy for us. And they responded immediately to any of our requests. Everything was amazing. Even the manager, Dominik, made a good impression on us. I loved the place. And the fact that they upgraded our stay for the last 4 days made it even more amazing. Pool was kept very clean. House had everything you need to live in. We even had a barbecue by the pool. Water was clean and hot in the shower. Towels and bed sheets were very clean. Security at night and we had privacy at all time.

Beautiful place to stay

Stayed in January 2025

There were little irregularities like not working water heating for one day, but if you do not wash your hair, it’s not a problem as in FEB it’s super hot even during a night. Unfortunately, the A/C wasn’t working either, so nights were difficult. But still the feeling you get in this lovely bungalow is worth it.

In Upani in Diani you get real African feeling. The bungalow is in a protected garden, decorated with African motives, simply different from other hotels - and great! In the bungalow you have everything what is needed for a stay - well equipped kitchen, mosquito nets, enough beds. Pool is great and pool towels are provided. After check out we could leave our luggage at reception and when leaving, we could use bathrooms in another room. For the price it’s really good choice with good service and I wouldn’t mind to come again.

The rooms need to be renovated

The location is nice - close to nice bars, restaurants and small local stores. The garden was amazing, it has swimming pool and a very nice terrace

Stayed in February 2025

Me and my family spend few days in Upani and we liked it very much. Our cttage was very comfortable, equipped in everything we needed and it had spacious, private terrace. The property has nice and big swimming pool. Location is good - short tuk tuk ride from a beach (or walking distance if you're not afraid of walking about 1km). The staff is nice and helpful and available pretty much round the clock (we were leaving at 5am and it wasn't an issue - someone was available to open the gate etc.). I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Diani.

Some renovation is needed in some parts of the building and in the pool area.

Villa is big with spacious rooms. Extremely helpful staff, always ready to help. Special thank you for Mike! It is very convenient to ask for chef if you want some meals to be cooked for your family. You can choose any dishes you like.

Old They don't clean it very well. It has a horrible smelling kitchen. Beach access is through a back of a hotel which everyone use as a dumpster (i.e. walking everyday though a dumpster to a nice beach). Small parking

Nice and relaxing A lot of space in the house Good value for money

Stayed in January 2025

The property is beautiful and the rooms are stylish. You're a 5 min walk to an amazing beach but away from the bustle so you can relax. Everything was also very clean.

I can't wait to go back.

I really enjoyed my 4 day stay. The room I got was spacious ,clean and the bathroom was super cute The sitting areas were always clean and comfy. The pool area was by far my best place to relax. There's a pool shower , cushioned sun beds with a cool environment due to the trees. The staff were helpful and they cleaned the rooms every single day. As a solo traveller this exceeded my expectations.

Stayed in January 2025

The house was a bit stuffy,fans were not working well,we saw a lice on the seats upstairs that really scared us.

The location is good,far away from street noises,bit far but all good.Mike,the guy I was communicating with was so friendly and so welcoming.He came in the morning to check if we were all OK since we had arrived very late after he left. Overall,I will recommend the place and still go back too.
