Positive: We loved every moment of our stay at Kileleni! The place is utter paradise and the friendly, helpful staff went the extra mile to ensure we were happy at all times. Communications were amazing from the booking stage right up to checkout, with excellent advice and helpful assistance.

Positive: Great staff (Ali and team were extremely welcoming and kind), amazing view, beautiful surroundings and very nice food (big portions!). Just overall relaxing and cosy feel, while being in a small paradise.
Negative: We actually liked everything. Only the swimming pool was staining blue paint, which wasn’t great for our skin and swimwear. But they were going to look into it.
Summary: Paradise: best views, nicest staff, clean and cost, definitely recommend.

Positive: Lovely small hotel set up above the sea with amazing views. The rooms are very spacious with huge comfortable beds and excellent AC and fans. There is a lovely infinity pool to relax by. The staff are wonderful . They are so helpful and friendly and they really look after you. . Mafia is a very quiet and undeveloped Island so come here to relax. It is not an Island of sandy beaches as it is fringed by Mangroves.There is excellent scuba diving and snorkeling and the opportunity to see Whale Sharks. You can arrange to have a relaxing massage in the hotel.You are also able to walk along the shore for miles and see no one. So beautifull. There are no nearby restaurants so you will need to eat in the hotel.
Summary: Beautiful hotel with sea views ,an infinity pool and wonderful staff

Positive: We absolutely loved our stay at Kileleni. It’s a great little hotel, the perfect place to chill out or enjoy the island from. The rooms and grounds are beautifully looked after and the pool is a great spot for a dip. The food was all very nice but the best thing about the place was definitely the staff. Ali and his crew were so kind and friendly, there wasn’t anything they wouldn’t do to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Would definitely recommend for your stay in Mafia Island.
Summary: Amazing hotel on a magical island.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Ali and his team provided superior service catering to our every need, whether it was last minute activity, transport or meal request. Super welcoming team doing their utmost to make us feel at home.
Negative: Only downside to staying at Kileleni is that the WiFi connections is somewhat unstable, which wasn't a great deal given that we were looking for much a needed digital detox. However, when we had to settle the bill at the end of our stay it did require a couple of tries to complete the payment on their 4G enabled PoS terminal.
Summary: Wonderful lodge with unparalleled views and super welcoming team

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Beautiful new and well appointed hotel. Crisp laundry and spotless towels. Attentive and helpful staff. Beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea. A place for peace and quiet - esp beach combing and bird watching along the mangrove fringed shore.
Negative: Perfect for us - but for info the hotel doesn't have a sandy beach. It has access to the sea but as with much of Mafia it is fringed with Magroves. Still great for beach coming and bird watching but If you want white sand beaches then Mafia is not the island for you. Its more a place to see fantastic coral, swim with whalesharks (in the season) and generally slow down.
Summary: Restful stay at a small, quiet, clean and well appointed hotel with attentive staff
