Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Great Rift Valley

I had a verry nice stay at Arsheen's. The location is perfect in the hearth of Stone Town. She was verry helpful and so was Mushtaq.

Our stay at Simba Village was fantastic. The house was clean, safe and in a great location. Lots of places to eat and even the grocery store within walking distance. Rachel was so sweet and check in was easy and smooth. Elvis was in constant communication throughout the trip making sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Though this was a flying visit, Poonam's place ticked all the boxes for me. The apartment is very clean and well maintained and fully stocked with all the things that make a home complete. I certainly look forward to visiting again and staying here. Thanks for having me.

Anina was a great host and very informative and easy to get hold of at all times. The apartment is exactly as the photos and I would love to come back again to stay in the future. Don’t delay and book it today before some else does!

I see a lot of comments how a host goes “above and beyond” but this host is the true definition for it ! He helped me every step of the way . Especially if it’s your first time in Kigali .. I highly recommend this . This place was easy to find for drivers . And the had the hottest showers ! And every single thing you would need , the host has placed for you . So over all the place was great especially if you are traveling on a budget !

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.

I truly enjoyed staying here. it was amazing views . quite inspirational. I was taking aback by no a/c but didn’t miss it too much. Highly recommended

This stay is an experience in itself. As an interior designer I was immediately captured by the mid century eclectic design and loved how every area of the house was an experience in itself. The hosts were extremely helpful and proactive and the location is very central. Would definitely stay here again.

The villa was beautiful . Amazing staff . Levis went above and beyond . He was always happy to help us . The chef Fondo’s food was a brilliant. we enjoy every meal he produced.

The first thing I did when I arrived at Eddy's was facetime my family to give them a tour - the place is absolutely stunning. From the spacious and airy bedrooms to the rooftop terraces, this home is perfectly designed. Moreover, the staff were communicative and ensured our stay was comfortable. I would come back in a heartbeat.

My family had a wonderful 4 nights staying at Margo’s property - very private, very large functional bedrooms with fans, air conditioning and private ensuites, plus a separate fully self contained 3rd bedroom. A beautiful pool, 24 hour security onsite, daily house cleaning by Ester. And the dogs were super friendly and great company. If you like football, pack your boots and enjoy a game with the locals on the pitch next door. If you like tapas or just really good food - recommend having dinner at “ To Be” which is approx 1km from Margo’s. Couldn’t find fault with the accommodation or the lovely Margo as a wonderful host, who was available, responsive but also gave us total privacy.

Simply this place is heaven on earth, Damien and his team were an excellent I’m support and communication We had stayed in the yellow house for one night, i wish we had more time to stay more but will definitely come back again Highly recommended and their attention to details is really impressive

Had a great time. Peaceful and beautiful!!

We had a lovely time in Susie’s place. Brilliant location, large pool, friendly staff. Communication was excellent, with a great information packet provided in advance. Highly recommended.

I had an amazing stay at this beautiful cabin by Lake Kivu! The views were absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the lake every morning felt like a dream. The cabin itself was spotless and incredibly well-kept, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. But the highlight for me was definitely the fireplace — it added the perfect cozy touch and quickly became my favorite part of the whole experience. Whether you’re looking to relax, unwind, or just soak in the peaceful surroundings, this place is a gem. Highly recommend and would love to come back!

We are writing to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional experience we had during our recent stay at Clare’s beautiful property. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the stunning location and the warm hospitality extended to us by your gracious staff, Thembo and Geff. The meticulous attention to detail evident throughout the house created a truly comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Thembo and Geff’ kindness and respect were truly outstanding, exceeding our expectations in every way. We were so impressed by the thoughtful design and amenities provided, making our stay truly memorable. Thank you again Clare for sharing your wonderful space with us. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to return in the future.

Absolutely loved this beautiful and cozy spot. Great place if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place to stay or if you plan to work from the apartment. The host is very responsive and made our stay seamless. Looking forward to my next stay here.

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.

This was my second stay with Kenji, having previously enjoyed one of his other fantastic apartments — and once again, everything exceeded expectations. The apartment made for a perfect getaway. It was spotless and actually looked even better in person. I especially enjoyed having an extra large smart TVs in the bedroom, which made it easy to unwind with Netflix in the evening. One highlight was the balcony off the bedroom — we kept the sliding doors open most of the time to take in the Nairobi skyline, and it helped to bring in fresh air. There were lots of thoughtful touches that made the stay feel extra special, like bathrobes, slippers, shampoo, body wash, a free water dispenser and extra blankets — small details that I rarely come across in other Airbnbs in Nairobi and abroad. Kenji was a great host once again. He shared a digital guidebook ahead of time that explained everything clearly, and he was always respectful and quick to respond whenever we needed anything.

Great place..clean, in a nice residential area..and the space is just amazing.

Such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy your vacation. Both the host and the staff were responsive and ready to assist. -Clean pool -Clean rooms -Clean and available cutlery -Clean compound Would highly recommend if you are visiting Watamu; it's a home far away from home. Thank you Ettore

This place is awesome, extraordinary location spectacular view looking over the city and the valley below. The apartment very modern, you have everything you need, extremely spacious. Robert and the security guard will assist you, those guys are very helpful, there is a nice restaurant and cafe, gas station nearby. I would gladly recommend Robert's place.

We didn’t stay long as it was a very last minute booking for our initial arrival into Nairobi, however Maureen’s communication was superb, she was very responsive and very helpful in her communication. It was only for her fast responses that we had a bed to sleep in after our 4am arrival. The apartment was very comfortable and clean and just what we needed for our short stay.

We, my son and I, loved our stay at Abdulrahman's apartment. It's a large room so we jad plenty of space. The kitchen has all the amenities if you want to cook. The staff is super helpful and the room is cleaned daily. We loved staying there as the roof top was just above our apartment and we could go up to enjoy the view. We also loved that it felt just like being home. Immersed in the Shella home styles, getting lost in the neighborhood. Finally, it's excellent value for money 😊.
