My stay at Joysvilla was wonderful. Everyone there made us feel right at home, and we had a wonderful time exploring the property and it's surroundings.
We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Malindi.

Der Pool ist gepflegt und das Hotel ist am Kenianischen Standart gemessen gut, man sollte aber keine westlichen Maßstäbe an die Unterkunft anlegen es ist halt authentisch Kenia die Unterkunft in meinem Fall genau das was ich gesucht habe.
