My stay at Mount Zion Paradise Guest House was wonderful. The owner family, Robbie and Baby Girl, welcomed me very warmly, and there is always such a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere in the guest house. They are both incredibly kind and attentive. I asked for airport pickup from Mombasa Airport, and Baby Girl and a driver came to pick me up. She even helped me with getting a SIM card, which made me feel very safe and reassured, especially as it was my first time in Mombasa. She also shared many things about Kenya with me, and I really enjoyed talking with her. The food at the guest house is delicious—especially the fish coconut soup, which I highly recommend. Robbie also introduced me to a boda boda driver, who was very kind and reliable, so I ended up asking him every time. There is a laundry service, and the room is spacious with a well-equipped kitchen and cooking utensils, which is fantastic. The room is beautifully decorated with plants and colorful cushions, and the guest house itself is full of greenery, creating a relaxing, tropical atmosphere. They also kindly looked after my luggage when I traveled to other towns, which I really appreciated. At first, I wasn’t sure whether to stay in the city center, but I’m so glad I chose Mtwapa. The center of Mtwapa has large supermarkets, and there are matatus to the city center and other towns, so it’s very convenient. More importantly, it has a calmer and more relaxed atmosphere compared to the city center, which made me feel safe and at ease. If you are visiting Mombasa, I highly recommend staying at this guest house. とても快適な滞在でした!ありがとう✨

Mt. Zion Guest House, [Mtomondoni ] I would like to sincerely commend **Robby and Baby Girl** for the wonderful hospitality they extend at **Mt. Zion Guest House**. Their warmth and attentiveness made our stay truly memorable. 🏡 Guest Rooms: Comfortable, clean, and welcoming—perfect for families. My wife, our house girl, and kids all felt at home. The arrangement of the room, the furniture, and the utensils in the kitchen area is all impressive. 🌿 Surroundings: The environment is peaceful and serene, offering a refreshing retreat, especially since the plants and flowers placed around give you a sense of serenity and nature. 🤝 Community: The people around are friendly and welcoming, which adds to the joy of staying here. 🏖️ Location: The guest house is conveniently close to the beaches and shopping malls, making it easy to enjoy both relaxation and access to essentials. Mtwapa Town runs 24/7 🎉 Special Experience: The New Year’s crossover *Kesha* was a highlight—celebrating with the community around Mt. Zion was uplifting and unforgettable. The barbecued meat and a sip of the local brew, Mazi, along with all the other liquors, were available. Robby and Baby Girl embody true hospitality. Their kindness, dedication, and care for guests make Mt. Zion Guest House a place I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a home away from home, peace, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere in Mtomondoni.

Our stay at Mount Zion was a truly beautiful experience. The guesthouse is located in Mtwapa, right in the middle of a local neighborhood. This gave us the wonderful opportunity to connect with the community, experience everyday life, and even enjoy local coconut wine together with our hosts, Robbie and Babygirl. The guesthouse itself is built with a lot of love and care. Babygirl and Robbie built everything themselves, and you can really see and feel the effort they put into it. With all the plants Babygirl placed around the property, the place feels like a small oasis. After a long and exhausting day at the beach, it is the perfect place to relax and feel at home. The hosts were always incredibly helpful. Whenever we had questions, they helped us immediately, organized transportation to the beaches for us, and even arranged a great surf instructor. All in all, we are very grateful for our stay and would happily come back

Dear Robby and Dorcas( Baby Girl) 💝 It has taken me a couple of days to write this review because words fail me. Mt Zion is not just a place for accomodation- it's home away from home, it's love wrapped up in warmth care, intent and great hospitality! From the moment I called to confirm my booking - I instantly felt relieved by how assuring Robby was- he had all my concerns addressed- including extending his grace for a very early morning check in. Robby still went ahead and sent someone to come pick me up from Mtwapa town to the location which is only a few mints away. From the moment I arrived - to the time I checked out - both Robby & Dorcas went over and beyond to make my stay memorable and enjoyable. From late night catch-ups over a glass of fresh palm wine- to comfortable, clean well kempt room(s)- to sumptuous breakfast oooh Dorcas I loved the (coconut beans and the Mahamris.)Thank you for being kind, keen to details and the care you offered - I came as a guest left as a family. My highlight was the peace I found inwardly to connect with self- the quality of sleep I got because the guest house is in a location that's so serene and secure - the plants and the green areas captured my attention and I couldn't help but just admire and presently being in the moment. The ambience is TRULY unmatched- Mt Zion is a place of solace where one aligns with self, both mind,body and the soul- and this will keep me coming back from time to time- truly it was a special moment for me. Dorcas I take this opportunity to thank you for offering laundry services at no cost- 🫂I'm still processing this- like ALL my dirty laundry including shoes were sorted, all I needed was to throw them in the laundry ���� and voila! This truly exceeded my expectations. You are the best -passionate and intentional. Thank you Robby for allowing me to check out late at 2:00PM-as I sorted work related issues, I felt valued,seen and cared for. God bless, and it's a see you later. ❤️Mt Zion is home, Mt Zion is love in it's most purest form. ASANTE Kind Regards Aggy.
