We stayed at the hotel for one week. Clean rooms. Balcony with garden view. Here in the morning is fascinating bird singing. pleasant service staff. Basin with lying and drinking bar. Smuzi and juices here are very delicious. I liked the local tea with ginger and milk. Breakfasts are delicious. We used a restaurant for dinner. A large plate of seafood for two very delicious. Here are fish, calmaras, octopus, and half lobster, fish boiler. Yes-yes, the fishboiler is big and very delicious. The room was given water and tea with coffee. They regularly changed their lingerie. For us there was one minus-the conferences held at the hotel. Being in the pool area is not pleasant when a group in black hoods from 20-30 people inspect the holidaymakers. And yes, to the sea on foot 10 minutes or you can get to the tuck-tuck. Still, it is not in step-to-step access.
Our stay at Boxo was amazing. The staff the environment the food was a 10/10. We arrived late afternoon and were met by the lovely Harriet who gave us a nice little tour of the hotel. She was absolutely amazing and made us feel super welcome when we arrived. Our stay here was comfortable and the rooms have air conditioning which is a need in HOT Diani so that came as a welcome amenity. We ate at Boxo’s restaurant and the food was delicious. The cleanliness of the place was also really appreciated.Overall experience was amazing.I would recommend this place if you are in Diani.We stayed on February 8th 2026.
I enjoyed my stay at this property, particularly its location approximately one kilometer from the beach, which made it convenient to access the shoreline. While there are no restaurants on-site or in the immediate surrounding area, the overall experience was pleasant. The stay was comfortable, and I found it to be a good option overall.
I've had a great stay in Safari hotel! There was a bit of a problem with my reservation but they took care of it the best way possible. The whole staff treated me like a family member. They were super helpful for anything I'd need. Special thanks to Jackson who really took care of me making sure it was alright.
Thank you guys and I hope to see you all again!!!
The hotel is a bit far from the beach, about 5-10 minutes by tricycle. The villa is large with two bedrooms, suitable for a family of 4, but the facilities are old and the hygiene is average.
For some reason the hotel did not receive my booking information. After we arrived at 7:30 pm local time, we waited for an hour and a half for the villa to be ready.
If you do not choose all-inclusive meals, even drinking water will not be provided.

This is our 4th visit to Papillon. The staff are amazing here. The animation team have such energy, the water aerobics is like nothing else. Everyone is always busy working, from the gardeners to the housekeepers to the pool attendants. Joseph and Raphael on the bar were excellent as always. Abdullah the pool attendant is always on hand with towels and keeps the pool clean. The rooms are always kept super clean with fresh linen and bottled water daily. The rooms now have a fridge and kettle (but you need your own teabags etc). The food and drink is great, lots of choices. The beach is stunning with pure white sand. Love this hotel and recommend to others

GGuest UserIt smells of mold, and the location is okay. It is a place where people do not come often. The price is cheap, so don't expect too much when you visit.

齐齐No breakfast, our family of four bring the elderly to stay, the hotel environment is OK, you can cook by yourself, there is a supermarket nearby, the hotel does not have toiletries and slippers, you need to bring your own, no hair dryer, it takes 10 minutes to walk to the beach, two rooms and one living room are enough , I’m quite satisfied with the accommodation, but I need to close the windows. The monkey 🐒 the second entry is a bit scary for me. The overall check-in is very convenient. The restaurant in the hotel can also be inexpensive. Bring your own breakfast and dinner, lunch or Dinner can be in the hotel, the service attitude is very good, and the trip to Africa is surprising and interesting
