Overall very good. Wr were 5 adults and we enjoyed the lodge.

I first reserved a sea-view room but the room given was with sea view that has so many obstructions. Then I downgraded to a regular room, which needed major updating as it seems the room has not been updated since the hotel was built in 1972. In fact, this old room lacked any European or American outlets to connect/recharge my devices. Lastly, flies around the open buffet make it impossible to eat with any sort of an appetite.

Not much of a food selection if you are staying for 2 weeks or more. But other than that it was a good vacation there.

Very good

We stayed in a Deluxe room that had been recently renovated, and it was absolutely wonderful for my family. The service was excellent and very friendly.

A bit tired, not really matching the price point is the main issue. You get what you pay for doesn’t quite stand up here. Some staff really friendly. Check in took ages. Food we ate tasted good.

Friendly greeting on arrival and staff was quite helpful. Wish I could have had time to view the evening entertainment.

The staff could not be faulted. Nothing was too much trouble. The manager’s greetings with a cocktail/mocktail were fun. The grounds were beautiful and access to the beach easy and clean. . The bathrooms were a little tired and needed an upgrade. Toiletries were excellent. the food was plentiful but unimaginative. There are major building works nearby constructing a new motorway made access less easy than one might like.

Beautiful property with very kind staff. Lots of beach activities like camel riding and snorkeling.

Breakfast was good, lunch menu was ok,entertainment needs to be improved like a Dj with Afro Beats/dance music...Some music playing during dinner..Dinner was good l liked the buffer style..l would come back again..The staff was very nice and helpful

These people are daylight robbery professionals!

The food was delicious and staff members are ready to assist ❤️❤️

Relaxing and lovely seaside resort

A perfect place to kick back and relax in the sun, swim in the ocean (or one of two pools), and take it easy. I enjoyed the casual evening entertainment (a talented singer and band by the pool). The staff was friendly, and the restaurant in a beautifully-restored wooden dhow was a special experience. This is apparently a German-owned resort and German-speaking guests would feel especially at home here.

Wonderful Beachfront Resort! Staff was amazing and so kind!

Enjoyed my stay, all the staff members were wonderful, welcoming, and helpful, peaceful quiet resort, will come again.

“Had a fantastic stay at [Hotel Name]! The staff were welcoming, the room was spotless, and the bed super comfy. The location was perfect, close to everything, and the breakfast buffet was delicious with plenty of options. Will definitely be back!”

Great for a getaway at competitive prices

We came here to celebrate our honeymoon. Although we arrived late, past dinner time, they still allowed us to refresh after a long drive, then they graciously offered a la carte, way past the call of duty. This is excellent service. The rest of the stay went well. Highly recommended

I stayed at the Severin Sea Lodge Hotel for six nights in late September 2024 and really enjoyed my time there. I found all the staff to be both helpful and efficient. The buffet style meals were very good. Through Expedia I got a deal that included six nights plus half board plus return flights from and to Nairobi for around £650. I would certainly recommend this resort.

Staff were very friendly and the food was great

Some staff were outright rude. The lady that was in charge of checking people in for dinner is rude. I wouldn’t recommend staying. The menu is similar daily and they don’t have a cash option.

Loved this property. Super cute little places to stay. Staff were very helpful. Good communication. Food was great! Honestly, nothing bad to stay. I hope to come back some day. Loved it!

Staff was not very welcoming and helpful. Gave no good location room despite requesting and promised for next day. But never did

I highly recommend Severin Sea Lodge, Bamburi Beach. My stay was great

Well managed . Everyone is friendly and everything actually works

amazing

Very nice property

The property has a beautiful location and the service is top-notch. Food was pretty decent, and the room was comfortable and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer.

great place to stay

We stayed 4 nights here and 3 nights at another resort on the Mombasa coast, and this was definitely far better in all respects. Very well maintained, charming staff and great service and facilities: pool, buffet meals, live evening entertainment etc. It is very hard to keep buildings in top condition in Kenya's climate, and especially with lots of monkeys around (!), but Severin Sea do it brilliantly. We also liked the eco-conscious approach, which brings comfort as well as environmental benefits (eg non-brackish water to wash in, thanks to the hotel's own water management system). Recommended.

The property was a good low key place. Food was good, rooms were clean and staff was very helpful. Do remember to ask for a renovated room.

A beautiful, friendky and well-maintained hotel

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel is in excellent condition and is well-maintained. The food was varued and delicious, with excellent service.

The staff are excellent. The property is in excellent condition, the Food is excellent, all kinds of variety of foods are available. The property is Ver clean, and the 2 swimming pools are in excellent condition.My family and I will definitely stay here next time we visit.

Great customer service

Edward the bartender and Eric, head of security, were extremely helpful. They both helped me with an issue that took place off the property. The people in the area are extremely helpful and gracious with tourist. Theft and abuse of tourist is taken more seriously here than any place I have ever been in the world, including my home in Atlanta Georgia. The facility at Severin sea lodge is very nice and would compare it to a 5 star location in Atlanta where I live. The lodge has it's own private beach and lots of security. I will be coming back here in the future with my family.

Memorable stay

My wife and I travelling to the SSL to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary having been engaged in Kenya in 1994. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every department. Pre visit the communication was extremely efficient and prompt. Throughout our stay everyone was friendly and professional. The hotel is spotlessly clean and well maintained. The environmental projects are well thought through, encouraged and managed. The food was excellent with a large variety and quality. We particularly liked the head chef walking around the restaurant each evening talking to guests. Love the swing bar - perfect for a sun downer. We both had treatments in the spa which again were first class and really relaxing. Overall we couldn’t fault the hotel at all.

Rooms a little dated, but overall a very good experience.

Staff was amazing

BEAUTIFUL BEACH FRONT PROPERTY.

Santa saana

Very lovely experience staying @ Severin Lodge, lovely accessibility to beach, swimming pool, massage, and food..thanks

Paradise by the beach

I’ve stayed at most of the places in Nyali and this is the best experience for sure. Lawrence the front desk manager is super helpful and Eric at the bar is awesome. The breakfast buffet is great and there is nothing better than eating overlooking the ocean. The Bahari Dhow restaurant is excellent and there are lots of great options close by. Better than Sarova or English Point for sure.

The place is nice but the working staff here are so kind and helpful I treated it like I was at my friend's place n the staff has gone out of there way to help I'm traveling alone and I wish I could thank them better but become friends with some of the working staff here now kuz there down to earth working class like me n it's makes a better exp to the kitchen staff n the Hosts helping guests your amazing people thank you for the great memories n exp

Amazing stay at amazing resort

Rooms are nice and spacious, food is out of this world, staff is nice and respectable, always eager to help. Ideat place to relax and unwind.

Great natural landscaping and a beautiful organic flow to the buildings. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is amazing. The A/C works great, unlike many other resorts in Mombasa.

The rd to the hotel is very rough, otherwise is hood

Stayed one night. Customer service was outstanding. Prime location on the beach

This is the best place to stay in Mombasa. The hotel has a rich history, the service is perfect, the dining and bars amazing, the pools clean, and the property gorgeous.

This resort seemed to be well planned. Our room was quiet with little traffic past our door. The pools were very nice, clean, easily accessible and always staffed. The grounds were tidy and charming with geckos and monkeys frequenting us as we rested or walked. Loads of trees. and flowering plants and shrubs. It would have been informative if the plants etc. were labeled in some way especially if it was a Kenyan or east African exclusive species. We booked a Safari and city tour with the lodges expedition department. Both were excellent. The tour guides had excellent English (as do most of the staff), exciting and informative. The city tour really had lots packed in and getting to it all was a testament to our driver! Traffic in Mombasa is really an experience to Canadians. It really must be experienced from a back seat to keep us from having panic attacks every block. But there were no accidents any where we traveled!! I leave the dining experience to the end because it was a daily gastronomic delight. The food and staff both excellent, entertaining and delightful. Lecious and Eunice and Ruth, to name a few, made our daily trips through the buffet memorable. We thank everyone of the staff at the Severin Sea Lodge for a wonderful holiday experience.

Great staff and food. Beachfront dirty. Extremely loud music next door at night.

Very nice property . Good food choices . Very friendly and pleasant staff

Beautiful beach and nice people Friendly and helpful

We loved the resort so much we stayed extra days here and took day trips to the other areas we wanted to visit. The location is outside Mombasa city center a short drive. There are other resorts next door. We took advantage to walk to Mombasa Go Kart one of the nights for some added fun. We really enjoyed the food. We took half board, for a buffet it was delicious and fresh. With new dishes every day. We had turn down since at night. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Mombasa. Great place, beautiful property. Grateful we ended up here ❤️

Thus place was just everything I wanted and amazing

A truly pleasant relaxing stay

Great service and great ambiance

We enjoyed our stay at Severin. There were 2 nice pools. Nice sand on the beach. Although there were a few beach vendors, but they weren't too pushy. Buffet breakfast was excellent. I suggest getting the lobster at the the Dhow restaurant (very reasonable priced!).

I loved the fresh fish. Overall the first was great

This place is magic! Beautiful grounds and rooms. Very well cared for. The best part about it is the staff! Every single one always said hello and asked how I slept, how was my day, was I having a nice stay! They do it in such a sincere and smiling way that it makes you feel so at home. I will definitely be coming back here! I really hated to leave!

Everything was perfect. The wifi in the rooms could be more reliable.

Serene yet fun.

Unfortunately, the bungalow I booked w/ sea view was unavailable upon arrival. Experienced a few hiccups in terms of quality of available bungalows. Staff was great throughout. I’m not the biggest fan of their bungalows, BUT I love their upgraded rooms w/ partial ocean and pool view. Clean, comfortable, and serene. Beautiful, oceanfront restaurant. Amazing breakfast and dinner buffets. Great live music every night of our stay. Just a few steps from white sands, camels, and the stunning Indian Ocean. Everyone I encountered was incredible: restaurant servers (especially Dorcas), CHEFS, security personnel, shuttle drivers, etc. Everyone appears to love this magical place.

Fantastic experience. We loved it! My husband, our kids (4yrs & 6yrs), my mother, and my brother & his family (2 kids - 8yrs & 5yrs) booked a few rooms and spent 3.5 days over the New Year period and had a really magical experience. The 4 kids loved the pool that also has a kiddy pool within the large pool and a slide. We all loved the food choices, the drinks were reasonably priced, the rooms were super clean and very modern - definitely recently renovated and we loved the ocean view and the balcony. The service was also exceptional and a number of us were Kenyans and we got fantastic service! The New Year's celebrations including fireworks at the beach were simply magical! We will definitely be returning in 2024!

Awesome stay. Great rooms great food nice pools and beach. Highly recommend!!

We really enjoyed the grounds. Staff was excellent, super helpful

Clean, lovely hotel right on Indian Ocean

I had a delightful stay at the Severin Hotel and very grateful for staff who addressed any concerns I had. My only wish is that I could have stayed longer! Everything is clean, breakfast and dinner tasted great. My only complaint is that hotel does not provide enough drinking water for guests either in room or elsewhere. For the cost of hotel, it should not be such a ordeal just to get more water to drink!

Great place for a quiet holidays

This is a great hotel on Bamburi beach. Super friendly staff and an excellent experience. In terms of other guests: when I visited in Nov / Dec there was a lot of Germans and also senior citizens. If you are expecting party central then this is not for you (or most other hotels on Bamburi beach). Typically you move around either with taxi / uber / toktok / etc or you walk on the beach. The main road leading olto Bamburi is under construction so for now it's a bumpy, slow moving dusty ride. Be mindful that in day time the beach has a lot of beach boys and girls that will try to sell you things you or may not need. In the evening stroll down the beach to check out some of the nearby other hotels / restaurants. For those looking to have a relaxing stay along pools, dip into ocean, enjoy the warm weather and possibly join a safari trip this a a great hotel. Thanks to the super friendly staff!

Went the extra mile

Good food. Clean. Great value.

This is a superb resort. It's five stars in every way, and all for a very reasonable price. The food was amazing, the pools, bars by the beach, daily excursions, every detail was perfect. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the service was impeccable. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Highest recommendation!

Great service!

Beautiful older lodge… comfortable, quiet, excellent food and great service!

The staff, service, and hospitality is 5 Star. The property is beautiful and constantly well maintained. The meals were great all throughout the day. The swimming pool was perfect and the bartenders make great drinks. The property is just the right size so that you will not feel like there’s a big crowed of guest. I highly recommend reserving a bungalow. They have great views and are close to one of the swimming pools.

Beautiful property but nothing around it. Staff and service top notch.

Our room was clean, spacious and modern. The service was great for the full week stay. The had plenty of things to do (pool, gym, games etc) and the food was pretty good too. Overall a great stay and would recommend it.

Excellent hotel and resort in a quiet place. The rooms were clean. The staff was friendly and professional. I stayed for 3 days and enjoyed every moment of it.

Great location and staff and a wonderful place to relax

Tiger fish at marine park

It is a very nice lodge on a beautiful beach. The staff are very friendly. Check-in was slow and the room had a bit of a dank smell at first that resolved with airing out the room. Overall, it was a very nice stay.

Ein schönes hotel an guter Lage mit sehr freundlichen Mitarbeiter, komme gerne wieder

The property is nice, great potentials. There are areas under construction so it takes away from the actual beauty of the space. The wifi is unstable so connecting to the internet was challenging. The staff are very friendly, especially the concierge support. I would definitely go back.
