    Unfortunately there was one electricity outage for 10 hours during our stay but it wasn't too impactful. Just be ready for that if it happens and rest assured it will come back. Also you are able to enjoy life without some electricity :) After all you are on a paradise island :)

    The hotel staff is the one of the friendliest people I have ever met. Really pleased with their approach to the guests. We would like to especially thank to Danny on the bar who made us some great cocktails! The room we got is pretty big with a great view on the balcony towards the sea, very very beautiful to spend time there, overall the hotel is on a great spot with superb view towards the sea. The room was cleaned every day. Don't hesitate to ask Anna from the staff if you need something planned as an activity on the island, they will set you up on good price as well :) We had breakfast every day and it was great, you have different options which is a big plus. The restaurant at the hotel which is also on the beach is a great place to eat/drink while enjoying the view of the sea + guests of the hotel have a nice discount for food/drinks. (I recommend the vegetable samosas :)) I would visit again some day! Big thank you!

    Tansania hat issues with electricity during our stay, but the team managed to work around it. They did everything possible to still serve delicious breakfast and light the room with candles!

    It could not have been better. Daniel at the bar made us feel like family and so did the very nice lady at the reception. She arranged taxis, gave recommendations and thought about eveything we needed. We also got to meet the owner, who himself seems also such a nice person. They make everything possible for you to spend a beautiful vacation!!

    AC is not working very properly , or it was just because of the energy quality; anyway, it can be improved

    Its location at the end of the Nungwi Beach together with the small number of rooms gives the accommodation a pleasant and relaxing intimacy. The beach is a sandy one; you can swim all day long even at low tide. It has a bar and a small restaurant which is a plus; they serves both staying tourists and those from outside, but due to the location there is no traffic at all

    The power and the internet went off couple of times but i am not sure if it was about the hotel or the area, we didnt mid it much

    The view was amazing, staff were really nice, housekeeping girls are doing an amazing job. The room was always clean and you can get bottle of water all the time which was really important for us. Also we love the breakfast and the other meals were really good as well. Everything was good overall.

    Nothing

    Everything was perfect, lovely hotel with just 6 rooms all facing the beachfront. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff. Food from the resteraunt is very good. Ideally located at the top end of nungwi away from the hustle bustle of kendwa & nungwi but within a short walking distance. I will be returning to this hotel in the future. Thank you for a amazing holiday Andy

    The location is hard to find if you don’t book with transportation with the property itself. It’s tucked away and the roads are bumpy to get there(no fault of the property), just be aware

    This property has an amazing staff! They made the experience better than what it would have been without them! They tented to my every need

    Only improvement would be to accept card payments as the ATM is a 30-40 minute walk away and doesn’t always work.

    Check in was smooth and the staff were very accommodating on our late arrival. The room was gorgeous and we simply enjoyed spending a whole day on the balcony taking in the sights! Food was delicious, alcohol was available at the cute restaurant downstairs right on the beach. The tide is out 12-5pm but it’s too hot to swim anyway then as you’ll burn. We loved swimming when the tide was in. Breakfast was simply delicious, try the vegetable chapati! Power cuts do happen and Wi-Fi cuts out but that’s just Zanzibar, not the hotel. I also actually think this is the better end of the beach to stay at as there are more business men down the other end of the beach.

    As everywhere the AC did not work properly even if electricity was on....this is a general issue with accomodations that dont have a powerful enough generator.

    The location is really good and for Zanzibar it is a quite reasonable accomodation.
