I stayed at Joysvilla for 4 days during my time in Malindi with a colleague. We were fortunate enough to have the place to ourselves and it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The staff were welcoming and friendly and went out of their way to help while we were there, even bringing in a portable air conditioner when my colleague... More

Spent 7 nights at Joysvilla ushering in the new year this 2011...Joyce and her team are very friendly and very charming hosts.

A great budget location, very clean, friendly owners. Pool was nice. Rooms looked new and very tidy. Very good money spent . It would be nice to have had air conditioning . It was a bit hot to sleep in December. I recommend it.

Joysvilla is home from home , comfortable room , great breakfast , friendly staff and 5 minutes walk from the matatu station which was ideal for the travellers getting from malindi to mombassa. The swimming pool is defintley an added bonus , great size too!!! Hope to return soon

Actually, I am still here and will be leaving on the 28th. We went through african spice safari who gave us the number. There are three guys and we are really enjoying ourselves.

It was on the lower level, with windows on 3 sides, so a nice breeze kept the room cool enough for a wonderful, restful sleep. The... More

This is really a wonderful place: extremely peaceful even if two minutes away from Malindi centre. Can't find anything wrong: big and very nice rooms, extremely kind owners and a swimming pool... You really can't miss Joysvilla if you're going to Malindi. Alberto and Ilaria
