Very nice and clean room in a nice house. And Victor so friendly and helpful. Plenty, tasty breakfast. As we like to stay away from the beaches and prefer walking it is no issue that the property is situated a bit away, along the main road.Not very much sounds from the trafic.

After a month of traveling around Africa, this place was our home away from home for two weeks. For an affordable price, we got everything we needed and more. Juma, the receptionist, always greeted us with a smile on his face and was happy to assist with anything we needed in and outside of the hotel. Augustino, the manager, is practically a local and helped us plan our itinerary throughout our stay. Rooms were cleaned and tidied every morning, and laundry services and a restaurant were provided in the hotel. Pool was perfect temperature, and we could even swim at night thanks to beautiful pool lights. The location is a 5 minute walk from the beautiful Nungwi beach, and right next to the local "Cocobello" club. Miti is beautiful, quiet, and intimate, and we are already planning our next trip!

Situated in Nungwi at the Northern tip of Zanzibar, Highland Bungalows is a short stroll from the beach. The guest house offers a restaurant and open-plan bar. Guests can make use of the outdoor swimming pool that is surrounded by a garden.

We have never met such friendly and warm atmosphere. All the staff were trying to make our stay unforgettable. The rooms are very clean, decorated in a Zanzibar way, not very spacious, but cozy. The territory is filled with various flowers and trees. There were 2 parties during our stay, but they didn’t disturb us, as all had ended at reasonable time. Highland Bungalows are located not far away (10 min walking) from the best beach in Nungwi. Restaurant is amazing as the prices are very good and quality is high. Every evening we spent there our time, as this restaurant was the best, taking into account quality/prices. If we needed anything, it was enough to inform the staff and everything was done. The staff was ready to help you at anytime. Breakfast was ok: eggs (different way cooked), bread, sausage, fruit, fresh juice, tea/coffee and jam. We would like to thank Britta for such an amazing stay and farewell party! She made our stay so cozy, as if you had been staying at your friend’s home. Incredible! And I would like to thank a woman who works in the morning for her everyday smile and an amazing cake she cooked for us! I will never forget it.

    with regards to staffing the management was awesome and the people at the front desk too, Rafiq & Karim were great hosts and made everything comfortable, the only downside to me would be the staff who work the outside beach restaurant, little but too moody considering the location. staff 5/10 location 10/10 comfortability 9/10 flexibility 10/10 management 10/10 Great stay, would just improve restaurant staffing attitude towards guests.
