Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Kenya

We have had a wonderful stay at Carol's house. I have nothing but good things to say, the house and the garden are so charming, with everything you may need, the rooms are spacious, with very comfortable beds; the outdoor veranda is coosy and the staff does a great job. Carol has been in touch with us all the time and has given to us very good recommendations. We will be back soon!

Another magical weekend at the Cowshed. We loved every minute in this beautiful place, which had been updated since we stayed there a few years ago. We appreciated all the new improvements in an already lovely space. The Cowshed comfortably accommodates 6 people, so it was great for our family of four. We spent hours on the porch at all times of day, and enjoyed the nightly fire built for us. One of our favorite spots in Kenya!

Great host, great house, great staff, great stay! We’ve visited Watamu many times over the years and found our stay at Dragonfly Cottage one of the most copacetic. Pete’s a great host - always responsive, very accommodating. The cottage was lovely - a great use of space - well designed, stylish, and comfortable. Both bedrooms and the common room open up onto the covered veranda leading to the pool and tranquil garden. The cottages are well-located near a quiet section of the beach - which is reached down a shaded path - and a walkable distance to both the center of town and Mida Creek. Doris and the rest of the staff were very welcoming - each making a point of introducing themselves - and helpful, without being underfoot. Dragonfly’s a lovely place to stay!

This beautiful, historic home was everything we hoped it would be and more. Millie was very friendly and helpful. We all wished we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful and clean accommodation. Victoria was prompt with her communication throughout our stay. We stayed 3D2N with our family who visited from Singapore as well as two young kids 1 month old and 3 years and we had a good time relaxing. masseuse and chef recommended by Victoria were very good too. It Would be even better if there is a toddler friendly playground to keep the little ones entertained. We can’t wait to be back and stay at the newer house!

Had a great time. Peaceful and beautiful!!

Amazing location- loved the staff. Felt so cared for. You cannot beat this place. Just so beautiful- safe- private! Will be back

We had a lovely stay—peaceful and well worth it! The place is beautiful! Access was a bit tricky due to ongoing roadworks, so clearer updated map points would help. Honorable shoutout to Joshua—an absolute resourceful gem!

Iminza’s place is perfect for a short stay. It’s not the biggest place but has everything one would need before settling down in a new city. Iminza is also a great host, always responsive and quick. Would recommend the stay.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful place! The apartment was spotless, modern, and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—just a short walk to shopping centers like Quickmart and others. Our host was incredibly responsive and provided detailed information to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Nairobi

Che bellezza! Debra's gorgeous flat is precisely how it looks in the photos: airy, spacious, clean, quiet, with a beautiful view of the beach. What's more, my partner and I ran into an issue at the airport and had to push our trip back a day—and I've never known an AirBnB host to be more empathetic or responsive. Then there's Jackson. More than a caretaker, Jackson is deeply kind and hugely helpful host—a priceless concierge. With unfailing calm and charm, Jackson sorted us out with a tuktuk driver (request Salim!), an incredible chef (request Francis!), and when we left something behind, went above and beyond to have it shipped to Nairobi. AirBnB is full of magical properties, and I've been blessed to enjoy a fair few, but the experience that Jackson offers at Debra's flat in Malindi is one of a kind.

The check In proces was soo smooth i was extremely impressed. Loved all the thoughtful touches around the house, everything was just perfect. The place was warm, super clean, and so peaceful—I really appreciated the quiet. Plus, the location was a huge win for me—close to everywhere I needed to be. Honestly, such a great stay ohhh and the fact the host is such a sweet yet professional soul explains why she is THE super host😊

Kevin was an excellent host and I am grateful for the hospitality that was shown. I would recommend his service and visit again.

I booked this apartment for my mom and dad . They loved their stay and felt at home. Chris was very responsive when they needed him. It’s close to the US embassy for those that have to travel for the services. It’s a 5⭐️

Nice place very comfortable definitely highly recommend this place any time you are staying in Nairobi

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) I had a fantastic stay at this two-bedroom Airbnb in Kileleshwa. The apartment was clean, modern, and exactly as pictured—spacious enough for a comfortable stay with friends or family. The beds were cozy, the water pressure in the showers was strong, and the Wi-Fi was reliable throughout. The location is a huge plus—Kileleshwa is quiet, safe, and very central. We were just a short drive away from Westlands, Kilimani, and major shopping areas. There’s a supermarket and a few nice cafes within walking distance too. Check-in was smooth, and Poonam was super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The building had great security and even had an elevator, which was a bonus. Would definitely book again and recommend to anyone looking for a serene and convenient stay in Nairobi!

This was a wonderful place to stay in Nairobi. The walk-in showers were excellent and the beds very comfortable. It was very easy to get around town using Ubers. It was also very close to YaYa Center, which had excellent cafes and an assortment of groceries. Our hosts were excellent to work with. We definitely recommend staying at their place. We will stay here again next time we’re in Nairobi. Their place is on the 14th floor of a new condo and has a great deck for viewing the sunsets.

Very convenient location for a weary traveler arriving late from the airport looking for a safe, quiet, comfortable place to sleep. The area has numerous nearby restaurants at Nextgen Mall to get breakfast in the morning

We had an excellent and restful stay at Claudio's! The photos do not do this listing justice - it is a very beautiful and thoughtfully designed space. The surrounding environment is very tranquil and just what we needed for our trip to Malinidi. The hospitalily of Henry is unmatched and he made checking in and checking out very seamless. I highlighly recommend Claudio's place. We will be visiting again!

Catherine was an absolutely phenomenal host. Her warmth, kindness, and attention to detail made my stay unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. Her space was not only spotless and beautifully decorated but also filled with the kind of charm and elegance that reflects her personality. Every little touch spoke volumes of her thoughtfulness and dedication to creating a perfect experience. I truly felt like royalty during my stay and I cannot recommend Catherine enough. She is the epitome of grace and hospitality.

It’s always a pleasure to be hosted Julz in the lovely apartment she manages. Looking forward to my next stay in Nairobi.

I would come back any time or recommend it any time. It’s a place to be if you want some nice, peace and quiet and comfy environment with birds singing in the air and surrounded by nature.

Honestly, fantastic experience! The space was clean and smelt good, it matched the photos and Vicki was an extremely communicative host. Highly recommend.

Comfortable 2 bed, 2.5 bath in Riverside Nairobi. Spent the weekend and easy to move around with an Uber in and out. Wifi worked, hot showers, big screen TV, and comfortable couch. Will definitely consider streaming again when next in Nairobi. The location was also close to Crafty Chameleon restaurant, Kengele’s sports bar, Roadies nyama choma etc. Host was super responsive as well.
