Diani Beach is a GREAT GREAT place and then south coast backpackers is more BETTER. The beach is very close, they have a swimming pool and awsome staff. I've been there for 10 days in April and now I was coming back to the same place, because I liked it so much. They have good rooms, prices, food and party's.... More

By far the most fun hostel I've stayed in. The environment is great and makes meeting people a breeze. The owners are always willing to put something special together or go a bit out of their way to make sure people are enjoying their time in Diani. With a beautiful pool area and an outdoor, 24hour bar, this place is... More

Amazing price (meals, bar, and food), great times, five minute walk to the beach, and not to mention all the staff make you feel at home! It is an easy trip into Mombasa for travelers, but Diani beach has enough to keep you happy and busy. Everything is well kept and for those volunteering in Africa I'm sure you will... More

South Coast Backpackers is an awesome place! I live further up the coast and whenever we hear of people heading to the south coast, we send them there and they always have a great time! Louis and Kevin create a fantastic atmosphere and there's always a bunch of sweet people around to hang out with. Sweet people and good vibes!... More

This place is fantastic. It is a great place to hang out and relax. The owners are funny and welcoming. It's such a good feeling to be welcomed with a cold drink, and setting the bags down and sitting by the pool. The rooms are clean, and "fancy" for a Kenyan backpackers. The staff is friendly, and willing to help... More

My stay in South Coast Backpackers was unforgettable! First, the hostel is one of the best I’ve ever seen (and I went to so many backpackers..) : the villa is really nice, as the rooms, common areas, swimming pool etc... The place has a lot of personality. Then the staff is so nice and helpful : Louis and Kevin are... More

South Coast Backpackers is amazing! It is run by open minded people. Perfect place for chilling and crazy weekends pull parties! You can meet fantastic people, other fellow backpackers. Deep and honest conversations are happening! Everybody is friendly! You feel like one family. Compound is green and clean, spacious dorms with fans :) You can see your food is being... More

The first thing Louis (the manager) said when we arrived was: "this is not a hostel, this is just people sharing a house". That's really how it felt, we where there for one week but from day one it felt like home. Wonderful staff and awesome house! We will be back for sure!

This hostel is really one of the few budget options in Diani. We stayed in a private room which was very clean with a huge, comfortable bed. Fans were also provided. The shower didn't work but was fixed within an hour or so of us alerting them to the problem. The vibe is very young and a bit too laid... More
