What a great experience going here to feed the bush babies. Make sure you get there for 6pm as it gets quite busy, had a couple of drinks, fed the bush babies so cute and lovely. Tuc tuc waited outside for us. Nice evening.
Bar man was friendly and drinks were reasonable price

A must do

Very peaceful place to stay and quiet. Nature relaxing mind and soothing birds. A walk to the beach. Nice rooms and great service from the staff.

Best in Diani, Nature stay!

Staying at Stilts is an unforgettable experience, I don’t normally stay at backpacking accommodation but had seen videos of the bushbaby feeding online and thought I needed to give it a try. We booked 3 nights in a room with private facilities and was totally amazed at how comfortable the bed was.  
Great location within a 5 minute walk to the beach, and even closer to Ali barba’s Cave restaurant. Which is a definitely worth a visit. I had booked my table many months in advance but after visiting was lucky enough to get Jane at the Stilts to book us a second reservation for a week later. 
The bar staff are all so friendly.  Even booking one of the most expensive rooms, this stay was incredible value for money.  The treehouses looked fabulous too. 
As this hotel doesn’t have a pool,  you can use the pool at the sister hotel, the flamboyant which is right on the beach. You pay £5 but then this amount is deducted from your food and drinks bill. 
The bushbaby feeding is at 7 pm in the bar and like clockwork at 10 to 7 every night the bush babies turned up. I am so pleased that we booked stilts it added a great experience to our holiday!

Amazing stay, with the unique experience of feeding bush babies.

Wonderfull place to stay, really friendly staff and great scenery. Definitely a great place to stay! We stayed in a tent, with a very nice mattress. Also very good bathroom and shower facilities. The bar staff was very friendly and the breakfast options were really good. We really loved our stay there.

Great and wonderfull place to stay, a must visit in Diani !

I had a fantastic stay at Stilts. The location is really cool and the forest around the rooms makes you feel so relaxed. The beach is in walking distance as well as some shops if you need any supplies The best part of my stay was definitely the kind hospitality from the staff during my time there. They really went above and beyond to make sure I had the best time and was safe. Jane helped me organise all my activities and supported me to coordinate with my bank when I was having issues. She also helped me get safely from Mombasa and helped me book some tours on her day off. Dixon and Emmanuel were also very friendly and helpful. I am very grateful for the kindness I was showed. I’ve traveled around the world and never experienced this level of hospitality. The food was tasty the room was clean and comfortable. In the evening you can even see and feed bush babies! I could not have planned for a better way to start my trip in Diani. Thank you so much Stilts team! 🙏

Incredible hospitality, amazing place to stay- highly recommended 

We stayed one night at Stilts whilst travelling around Kenya and we loved it!
Great chilled atmosphere in the bar. Lovely staff and really tasty food. I had the carbonara and would recommend.
Our room was clean and comfortable, basic, but we knew this in advance and it suited us just fine. We loved being high amongst the trees with the wildlife. 
For me, the best part was the bush babies in the bar. Beautiful creatures who arrive of their own will for some banana. 
Would recommend.



Loved the bush babies!

We heard of this place on our way to dinner , we had to make a detour because we wanted to see and feed the bush babies. The bar tender was very attentive and informative on the habits of the bush babies. As promised the bushed babies showed up to this restaurant at 7:00pm apparently when they wake up. We got a chance to feed them, cute fury beings. Just wonderful

Cute fury bush babies

Simplistic, natural surroundings. Excellent value. Amazing food and super friendly and helpful staff. 

We spent 6 nights here and it was absolutely delightful! You are in amongst nature. Daily bush baby feeding which is just so much fun. 

The rooms are basic living, all you need. We had our own bathroom which I was glad of. Ceiling fan in the bedroom, it was hot but that is what you would expect. 

The staff are wonderful, so helpful and the food was so tasty.

Would love to come back and hope to do so in the future!

A wonderful stay in a natural, relaxed environment

We absolutely loved the bush baby feeding experience. The staff was very friendly and the bush babies were just incredibly cute. We were allowed to hand feed them and would have loved to come back again just for this experience if we have had more time in diani.

Lovely bush baby feeding experience 

If you want to have some Karaoke fun in a Thursday, this is the place to be.Everyone is just friendly. I recommend this place highly.And the general manager Jane is just one of the best ever.Very welcoming.

I remember when I had to bring my friends for karaoke all the way from Mombasa and they really enjoyed their stay there.
