Wonderfull place to stay, really friendly staff and great scenery. Definitely a great place to stay! We stayed in a tent, with a very nice mattress. Also very good bathroom and shower facilities. The bar staff was very friendly and the breakfast options were really good. We really loved our stay there.

Great and wonderfull place to stay, a must visit in Diani !

I had a fantastic stay at Stilts. The location is really cool and the forest around the rooms makes you feel so relaxed. The beach is in walking distance as well as some shops if you need any supplies The best part of my stay was definitely the kind hospitality from the staff during my time there. They really went above and beyond to make sure I had the best time and was safe. Jane helped me organise all my activities and supported me to coordinate with my bank when I was having issues. She also helped me get safely from Mombasa and helped me book some tours on her day off. Dixon and Emmanuel were also very friendly and helpful. I am very grateful for the kindness I was showed. I’ve traveled around the world and never experienced this level of hospitality. The food was tasty the room was clean and comfortable. In the evening you can even see and feed bush babies! I could not have planned for a better way to start my trip in Diani. Thank you so much Stilts team! 🙏

Incredible hospitality, amazing place to stay- highly recommended 

We booked with them for 4 days, we were going to book somewhere else, but we decided to try one night to try. This night was terrible in the windows there is only a net and not a window and the net also has holes, the connection to the roof is made of wooden sticks with huge holes between them, which means the cabin is completely open to all mosquitoes (and other species), we thought a mosquito net on the bed would save us but it was full of holes - we were stung all night . In addition to all this, it rained at night and the rain came into the hut, I woke up in the middle of the night covered in rain on half the bed. The next day we decided we weren't staying, we explained to the staff that it was raining inside the room and it didn't seem to bother them, and even then it turned out that they let another couple into the cabin without fixing anything.

Accommodation for a couple

We stayed one night at Stilts whilst travelling around Kenya and we loved it!
Great chilled atmosphere in the bar. Lovely staff and really tasty food. I had the carbonara and would recommend.
Our room was clean and comfortable, basic, but we knew this in advance and it suited us just fine. We loved being high amongst the trees with the wildlife. 
For me, the best part was the bush babies in the bar. Beautiful creatures who arrive of their own will for some banana. 
Would recommend.



Loved the bush babies!

We heard of this place on our way to dinner , we had to make a detour because we wanted to see and feed the bush babies. The bar tender was very attentive and informative on the habits of the bush babies. As promised the bushed babies showed up to this restaurant at 7:00pm apparently when they wake up. We got a chance to feed them, cute fury beings. Just wonderful

Cute fury bush babies

Simplistic, natural surroundings. Excellent value. Amazing food and super friendly and helpful staff. 

We spent 6 nights here and it was absolutely delightful! You are in amongst nature. Daily bush baby feeding which is just so much fun. 

The rooms are basic living, all you need. We had our own bathroom which I was glad of. Ceiling fan in the bedroom, it was hot but that is what you would expect. 

The staff are wonderful, so helpful and the food was so tasty.

Would love to come back and hope to do so in the future!

A wonderful stay in a natural, relaxed environment

We absolutely loved the bush baby feeding experience. The staff was very friendly and the bush babies were just incredibly cute. We were allowed to hand feed them and would have loved to come back again just for this experience if we have had more time in diani.

Lovely bush baby feeding experience 

If you want to have some Karaoke fun in a Thursday, this is the place to be.Everyone is just friendly. I recommend this place highly.And the general manager Jane is just one of the best ever.Very welcoming.

I remember when I had to bring my friends for karaoke all the way from Mombasa and they really enjoyed their stay there.

Lovely place to stay.
Great services. Tickets and local transport arranged by efficient staff. Delicious food.
Best Value for money for sure. Highly recommended.
Unexpected interaction with bushbabies was a highlight

Excellent, friendly five star service, excellent food best value for money.

This is the most wonderful place. Brilliantly run with warmth and love by Jane and all her staff. Sitting in the Treehouse reception surrounded by the  leafy canopy and spying Colobus monkeys and Sykes monkeys through the branches while sipping a long cool drink counts as one of the best experiences of our long and varied lives . Bush babies have the sweetest little hands! Who knew? And they love banana! All that and then to have Flamboyant just over the road. It is perfect. Thanks Janie. You are the best.
