Our stay at Villa Thamburu was truly unforgettable and exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth by the reception team, who made check-in seamless and ensured we felt at home from the very beginning. The chef deserves special recognition—the food was absolutely outstanding. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, making each dining experience something to look forward to. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. They were always smiling, quick to help, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. A special thank you as well to the security guard, who was always welcoming, respectful, and made us feel safe and well looked after throughout our stay. The room itself was immaculate, with exceptional cleanliness in every area. It was clear that great care is taken to maintain the property to the highest standards. Thank you to the entire Villa Thamburu team for making our stay so special. Your outstanding hospitality, delicious food, attention to detail, and genuine care made this one of the best stays we’ve ever had. We highly recommend Villa Thamburu and can’t wait to return!

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Thamburu! The property is new, clean and well-maintained. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We loved the food as well - the breakfasts starts with fresh fruit and then you can pick your mains so everything is prepared fresh. We also loved the pork and cashew curries from the dinner menu. There are some other restaurants in the area, but we chose to eat in the villa each night because it was that good! We also enjoyed watching the sunset on beanbags with drinks each night. Staying here was so relaxing and we can't wait to come back!

Staff. Location. Amenities.

No minibar even when you call. No juice at all. Nothing. Water you need to call. Only red bull available. Or beer. No massage option. No spa. Toilet doors. Not working. Food basic. 500 euro per night? Should have.
