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.

Providing free WiFi, private parking and a private beach area, the recently renovated property of Frangipani House Nungwi Zanzibar, offers rooms in Nungwi, 600 metres from Royal Beach and 1.1 km from Nungwi Beach. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and currency exchange for guests.

The beautiful place is located in a perfect location - very close to Royal Beach, Masai market and the main road in which you can find shops for everything you need. The host is just an amazing person, a great, warm, and welcoming host. When we arrived, she welcomed us with a post card and flower decorations to celebrate our honeymoon, and also gave us a generous plate of delicious fruits. She took care of every need that we had, on a daily basis. Laundry, kitchen, local recommendations and transfer, places to travel and to buy things like alcohol, SIM card, even Barbershop. They even go to a distant shop to buy a new fan, in addition to the one in the ceiling, because we came in unusually hot weather and I'm very sensitive about hit. Housekeeping, every day, with colorful flowers and cleaning, which was very nice. The rooms are in the middle of a big, colorful and beautiful garden, which also has some nice spots to sit and relax. The whole place is very quiet and safe. No doubt we will come again.

Situated in Nungwi, within 500 metres of Supermarket and less than 1 km of East Africa Diving, MITI Beach Bungalows features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive.

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.

    Renata is very nice and a lovely host. The location is perfekt, as we prefer to stay a few hundred meters from the beach. Spacy clean room. Superb breakfast. Some cute cats on our veranda was a great bonus. We can recommend Furaha B&B for comfortable stay in Kendwa.

    The long beach where you can walk and access to turquoise waters. Locals try to send you things constantly but they dont insist when you say no. The sunbeds, the bars' area and the music in the evening. The spa was OK. If you prefer calm and silence dont go this hôtel. My economy room was great. Clean and confortable.

    If you ever come to Zanzibar and you wanna feel the full African vibe, feeling close to the locals, know they needs, not just to be a selfish tourist who’s coming here to make some nice pictures …. the best place to stay !!! You stay with them in the deep of the culture … lovely people one by one !!! Highly recommended by me !!!

    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.
