    The pool water gets too hot, it feels like you’re in an hot tub. Breakfast could be a bit better in terms of flavours.

    Everything was really nice. We had booked a room with no a/c and the guy who runs it was so kind to provide an extra fan that made the difference to the really high temperatures. Location is good, just a short walk to the beach.

    Thank you so much to Sadiqi, Shakira and the rest of the team for taking good care of me during the stay. All of them are so nice and helpful :) The room was very good and cleaned properly every day, the breakfast was delicious, especially pancakes :) I was ordering lunch/dinner in the hotel, the food is sooo tasty and portions are very big. I can say, that food was more delicious, than in restaurants on the beach. Big thanks to everyone, guys!:) And lovely monkey Abu who I'm missing so much;)

    The aircon was heavily affected by the power dips in the area. So it wasn't working most of the time.

    I loved the staff, Saadiq and Shakira are amazing. The breakfast was lovely but not a buffet. Wifi was constant which was lovely.

    Wi-fi sometimes didn't work or was very slow.

    Location is near the beach and at the same time some distance from the densest part of Nungwi, which we liked. Breakfast was rich with delicious fruits, followed by eggs, sausages, pancakes and toast bread according to your choice. Different fresh fruit juice every day and coffee or tea as much as we liked. Personel was very friendly and supportive in arranging trips or transportation when we needed it. The place was clean and rooms very spacious. We liked the pool too.

    There is WiFi but it wasn't always working well. For texting and normal use was more than enough. The water for the shower was not really that hot, but for us it was not a problem.

    The place is nice and the location is quiet. You feel safe to walk late in the evening in the area. The room was very big and clean. The bathroom was clean and soap was provided. Air conditioning was working great. The pool is clean and in the evening with lights on it creates a wonderful atmosphere. The breakfast was big, with fresh fruits. The staff is nice and ready to help you with all you need. At the beginning there was no mosquito net on the bed and they provided us one. Thank you Sadiki! Twice the power went out in the whole neighborhood but it wasn't a problem for this hotel because they have a power generator.

    We spent 3 days at Daniel’s. We found the service outstanding, the room comfortable, it even had hot water, electricity and wifi!! I left a bag at the hotel by accident. They couriered it to me in Dar es Salaam, free of charge, that day so I could collect it before boarding the train to Zambia. Unbelievably kind. Can not thank them enough for both the stay and helping me out. 11/10

    10+++ We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The beds were incredibly comfortable, reminiscent of those in 4 to 5-star hotels. The rooms were equipped with both fans and air conditioning, and they were always clean and tidy. The beautifully landscaped courtyard added to the overall charm. The breakfast spread was unbelievably delicious, and the chef truly impressed us with the delightful dishes we tried. A special highlight was the friendly little monkey in the courtyard. We enjoyed spending time with it, feeding it, and it was heartwarming to see it happily playing with us every day. We want to thank the Mr. who runs this hotel, he helped us with even the smallest details during our stay. We highly recommend this accommodation, and we will come back again for sure. Mitar & Viki

    The owner of the hotel has a very cute monkey who lives in the garden however tied to a tree with a quite short rope:(

    3 minute walk from the beach, our room was always very clean when we came back in the evening. Breakfast is from 8 to 10 but when we had to leave earlier in the morning for a trip the staff was really helpful. The garden and the pool were beautifully maintained. Easily accessable parking space. The neighbourhood doesn't feel friendly at first however it was completely safe to walk around also in the dark, the locals only smile at you.

    👌

    We can say all the best about the hotel. After the flight, we arrived at 5 a.m. We were accommodated before the check-in time, and were also treated to breakfast. The hotel changes the linen daily, the breakfast is very good (included in the price). The staff is very friendly and responsive. The Host is very responsive. At my request, he transferred us from - to the airport and a safari excursion. The hotel is modest, but beautiful. Everything is tidy and clean. It is quiet, peaceful, its own paradise. The pool is cleaned every day. There is a security guard on the territory 24 hours a day. You can order very tasty food from the menu for a fee. We also ate in other restaurants, but we think the food in our hotel it is the tastiest. A beautiful beach is a few minutes walk away along a straight road. If you want a quiet, peaceful vacation without stress, definitely stay in this hotel.

    I didn't enjoy taking a shower with salty water. The owner should work on improving his skills of hospitality. Try to make your clients happy. Happy clients will bring more money.

    It is a clean and comfy place very close to the beach and all facilitites needed. The breakfast was super testy while the staff were super friendly.

    The owner has a pet monkey and during the day they tie it to the tree.

    The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was really good, very clean and nice pool. The place itself is pretty new and quiet. It's not very far from the beach. The price compared to other places in Nungwi that were not as good was really good too.

    Cozy and atmospheric hotel! A lot of interesting little things in the design of the territory and around the pool, this makes being on the territory pleasant. Cleaning and linen change every day, this is quite rare in Zanzibar. Good Wi-Fi, and what is important, there is own generator - a guarantee of the availability of light and water! The breakfasts are delicious and varied, the dinners are also highly commendable, especially the fillet fish) I would especially note the hospitality and positivity of the couple - the owners of the hotel) it is also worth noting the always attentive staff. My stay at this hotel was very comfortable, thank you!

    Unfortunately, the quality of the mattresses was not good, as they were worn out very quickly. Noise from the water tank came from the roof day and night. It is also quite noisy at night due to parties/bars in the area. The owners were not very welcoming towards us and did not ask us if we were comfortable although they were there every day.

    The complex is very beautiful and the pool is really great. The location of the complex is great. You walk 5 minutes to the beach and there is a kiosk on the way. The breakfast varied every day and was freshly prepared (fresh juices, fruits, chapati and pancakes). The staff of Sadiq, Diana, Lucas and Hadije are super nice and helpful. They always ask about welfare and they made us feel really comfortable.
