Traveller reviews

“Superb”
16 Jun 2025
We arrived at Mama Ruth’s with a small group of friends, and from the very beginning, we were taken in by the peaceful surroundings. It’s a perfect place to relax and unwind. If you’re planning to explore other areas, you’ll definitely need to take a taxi, as it’s almost impossible to get anywhere on foot. That didn’t bother us at all – taxis were easy to find, and we were able to visit many beautiful spots nearby. The rooms are on the smaller side, especially if you’re traveling with large suitcases – there’s not a lot of space for luggage. However, everything else was truly wonderful. We added breakfast, lunch, and dinner to our stay, and every meal was delicious – freshly prepared and full of flavor. One of the best parts is that the villa is located right by the sea – there are no streets or obstacles between you and the water. Just step outside and you’re on the beach. The owners live on-site, are incredibly kind, and go out of their way to assist guests with anything they need. It’s a place full of warmth, hospitality, and genuine care – we would absolutely recommend staying here!

“Really beautiful place, stunning design and style the whole place was crafted in”
21 Apr 2025
Really beautiful place, stunning design and style the whole place was crafted in. Every detail had been thought out. The service was first class and the food was good. One of the best hotel experiences in a long time.

“Absolutely stunning location”
11 Apr 2025
Absolutely stunning location overlooking the ocean and the nearby fishermen's beach. Outstanding hospitality from everyone...the couple who own Mama Root as well as the staff. The food was truly superb. The seafood evening meals were the best I have had in East Africa. Finally, the peace and serenity were perfect and just what I needed.

“Perfect paradise spot”

Everything. The perfect location, the nice details everywhere, the food, and of course the kindness of the owners and everybody working at Mama Root. It was a perfect getaway spot.
