Set just 70 metres from Kendwa Beach, Pumzika Kendwa Villa provides accommodation in Kendwa with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a shared kitchen. It is located 2.7 km from Royal Beach and features a housekeeping service. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

We really enjoyed our stay. We had the big room with two twin beds, air conditioning, and private bathroom in a very central location a short walk from the beach. There are stores and restaurants within 10 minutes walking distance. But more important, Mustafa was a great host. He arranged for us to do laundry on-site for a small cost, handled a bothersome occupant, and even let us keep our bags in the room past check-out time so that we could do a Mnemba snorkeling trip. He is also a great supporter of his community, teaching in a local public school and doing community outreach in Kendwa. Service makes all of the difference and Mustafa made our stay special. We highly recommend Pumzika Kendwa Villa for your Kendwa stay!

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.

    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.
