Was ok hotel

Nice hotel - but can not say too much, due to I booked it just for 1 night, as business purpose.

Stayed in February 2024

As I said ,the choices for breakfast should be multiple! The walls are very thin and you can hear all the neighbors! I had the experience to witness a fight between guests which wasn’t nice because they were yelling and screaming in the middle of the night in the front yard ! Nungwi is an area far from the airport! Something like 2 hours (3-4pm Zanzibar time)

It’s good that is near the beach! Walking 10 minutes and you will find a place with sun-beds,restaurants and shops! The rooms are clean and the staff is very nice! I like the fruits and juice in the morning but the main course is only eggs ! The owner will help with a taxi driver which is trustful and nice!

The number of power cut/ outages per day is bad, I think they need to get.an electrician to survey the building. Its a pity because the people are so great.. If they get the power sorted out I'd give a 9 or 10..

The management/ staff workers are great, friendly and welcoming

Arrived late at night. We struggled to locate the place as google maps didn’t provide the right location. Tried calling the establishment for over an hour and no one answered. It was frustrating.

It is near beach which is a bonus

Only minor issue was that the air conditioning unit was not working in our room on the first night. The staff had warned us of this upon checking in. Staff were very helpful in moving us to a different room for the remainder of our stay after we asked to do so.

Breakfast was excellent. Staff were all very friendly, helpful and attentive. Views of the sea from the upper floors. 3 mins walk from Nungwi beach and a short walk from seafront restaurants. Room was very clean, comfortable and as advertised in the photos.

Location near to the beach but on a beach where you can just walk and can't swim due to the rocks. The Internet doesn't work all the time.

Very clean and good staff. 15 minutes walking distance to the village. Breakfast good.

Loud at nighttime which made it difficult to sleep. The walls were a bit thin too so you could hear other people’s alarm. The stairs to the rooms upstairs are also quite narrow so not accessible for everyone

The staff was nice and breakfast was included. There was also a kettle in the room and the balcony was lovely to sit at.

Difficult to find the hotel, especially if you arrive at night as there are no street lights. Streets are not properly recorded on Google Maps so it would be really helpful to get directions from the hotel ahead of arrival.

The hotel itself can use some freshen up. There are some patches of mold and the sink and shower weren't in great shape. However, everything was fully functional, hot water and all. But also no trash bin, otoh. The price is right, however and this needs to be put in perspective: Nungwi is a very poor place (however, surprisingly safe!) and the accommodation here is either cheap and "not amazing", or 4-5 stars resorts. This hotel is somewhere in the middle.

The people servicing the hotel are nice; not "fake" nice, but real. They're accommodating and trying to make your stay nice. On check in, the bed's decorated with actual flowers, colourful and scented. The room is very clean, there's AC (though we didn't need to use it) and also a fan. The view's nice and the last floor, where breakfast's served comes with ocean views and a nice panorama. The hotel is close to the beach (some 2 minutes walk). Breakfast comes with fresh fruits (my highlight), good pancakes, eggs & co. There's also free internet!

If you come at night to the property you will have to tell someone to guide you as it is not easy to get there. However it is very quiet at night which is good to sleep

The property was good, staff very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast in the morning very tasty and nice

No objections

Close to the beach, basic but clean room, air conditioner and ventilation in the room. nice view from terrace. Tasty breakfast made of fresh fruits, eggs and pancakes. No prob to use the kitchen also in the evening if you don’t want to eat in restaurants. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Stayed in November 2022

you need to walk a bit if you want to stay properly on the beach, even though it says it is next to the beach. The rooms are very basic and could be better taken care of. Breakfast tasty but limited, instant coffee available only. No safe in the room. We had different expectations choosing hotel with 9.2 overall score.

super friendly and helpful staff, especially the lady who takes care of the guests. location is good 1 min walking distance to the ocean, many restaurants around, AC in the room, welcome fruits and fresh fruits for the breakfast, hotel is surrounded by big wall, so we felt really safe.

During our recent stay at Hotel Mambo Boutique Nungwi (December 5-23), we feel compelled to share a comprehensive review to provide potential guests with a nuanced perspective. Accommodation Issues: Our experience was marred by a few noteworthy challenges. Firstly, the room displayed an unexpected presence of ants, including on the bed, compromising the standard of cleanliness we anticipated. Electrical Concerns (!!!): We encountered significant electrical issues throughout our stay. The frequent and disruptive flickering of lights, occurring sometimes up to five times per minute, adversely affected essential amenities such as the air conditioner. This, in turn, impeded our ability to charge electronic devices and resulted in the accumulation of water in the fridge. Connectivity Challenges: The promise of seamless connectivity was undermined by inconsistent Wi-Fi, causing inconvenience for guests reliant on a stable online connection. Hygiene and Maintenance: Hygiene concerns were evident in the bathroom, where a substantial mold infestation was observed. This not only raised questions about cleanliness standards but also brought into focus the overall maintenance of the property. Unexpected Mold: One of the pillows exhibited signs of mold, falling short of the expected cleanliness standards and affecting our overall comfort. Transportation Setback: Despite our attempts to prearrange airport transfer, the hotel's unresponsiveness left us without transportation. (transfer is mentioned in facilities list) Staffing and Service: The absence of reception staff on multiple occasions complicated issue resolution and information retrieval, revealing a gap in service provision. Culinary Monotony: Over our 19-day stay, the breakfast offerings remained consistently monotonous, suggesting an opportunity for improvement in diversifying culinary options for extended-stay guests. (I have to admit the breakfast is tasty) Security: literally everybody could enter the territory

Friendly and polite stuff Distance to the beach (1 min walk) Mosquito net Hot water Cleaning occurs every other day
