all was good!

Villa Kirumi is great place to stay in Nungwi area! Location is not far from beach and restaurants. We stayed in Villa for a month and felt really like at home. Owner and all staff are super-friendly and very helpful! Food is good, it also possible to order meals by request, it was very tasty. We are very thankful for generator provision when there were electricity shortages sometimes. It was important for us as we needed to work remotely. We really liked this place and definetely will come back next time. Missing our friend - the dog Piero, he is very kind and nice. Thank everyone in Villa Kirumi for our comfortable staying, we are looking forward to get back!

If the electricity is unstable, it effects the house and AC

Great location, near the nicest beach in Nungwi. Rooms are very spacious and beds are very comfortable. Very clean as well. Staff is amazingly nice and helpful. Breakfast is good and tasty. I recommend this villa.

We were so lucky to book at villa kirumi, location is great just 5 mnts walking to the beach, owner Stefano is very helpful, khadija took good care of us on breakfast, rooms are very spacious and clean. We felt like we were in our home. I would definitely come back again.

We stayed 2 weeks in Hotel Kirumi as a family. Choosing Nungwi ( famous for its parties and night life) we were very careful where and which hotel to book. Having 2 young girls we were looking for tranquil and peace. Beforehand read all the reviews and was amazed how many positive reviews Kirumi has….and what can I say . There are all true. We were staying in the family room, it was clean, tidy and had a wonderful homely ambience. The cordial nature of Stefano ( the owner ) and Khadija ( the manager) are commendable indeed and they were the icing on the cake. The breakfast was always brilliant every day. Never did we feel alienated as we were treated like a family members rather than guests. The pool was always pristine clean. The Wi-Fi in the hotel was the best we found in the whole Nungwi. The air conditioner was flawless . We also found the location very convenient, turn left a couple of minutes’ walk to the beach, turn right a couple of minutes’ walk to the community road, where the locals sell and trade everything we needed. The restaurants we ate mostly Mama Mia, Terrace, Istanbul, The Corner are all about 15min walk. The beautiful beach of Kendwa is also about 15min walk, there was a small shop literally 50metres from the hotel selling sodas and snacks if our girls needed. We arrived as tourists and left as friends, thank you the Kirumi family for making our holiday so memorable.

The staff is lovely, friendly and caring! the atmosphere of the villa is very relaxing, with areas around the pool for breakfast and calmness! It is some metres away from the masai market that leads to the beautiful beaches. Special thanks to Stefano and Khadija for the kindness ♥️

The location was not ideal. Although only a 10 minute walk to the beach taking into account the searing heat it was extremely bad under foot due to rocks and rubble. Very difficult to negotiate at night in the dark as there is no lighting. A torch is essential to get back at night. Breakfast started off ok at the start of the week but got less and less as the days progressed, the housekeeper saying things had gone off.... bearing in mind we were the only occupants. Would not accept MasterCard on arrival only cash in dollars.

Large comfortable room, plenty of hot water. Super air con.

Bathroom could have some improvements but overall good

this was my favorite accommodation during our trip in Zanzibar. The staff is lovely, rooms are big and comfortable, great breakfast and 7 min walking distance from the beach.

The location is just a few minutes from the beach, but I didn't feel safe walking back alone at night, if you travel alone like me, ask Stefano about reliable taxis you can use to return at late night.

The owner is very helpful, breakfast is well served and if you have an early tour they can make it for you early too. Very flexible with check-out bags too. I felt welcomed in this place, as I didn't like the Nungwi area, as it had many natives who were chasing me all the time. Being in this hotel made me feel safe. I was also happy to know that they treat the dog very well.

Prices of soft drinks and water could be displayed near the fridge, as we had to pay in the evening for them after we checked out we got a bit confused and after paying we had no cash to continue our journey to airport. But this is a very little thing, we are really happy about our stay!

Very happy about our 7 nights stay in Villa Kirumi. Small guesthouse located 7/8 minutes walk from the beach, brand new building with lovely patio and plants around. The area around is quiet rural, however there are more hotels/resorts around and we walked at night to restaurants without being scared. The room was big, quiet and with all amenities. Stefano, the owner is very friendly and provides a lot of useful suggestions on where to eat and what to do. He also offers trips around the island through a local agency. Adija and the other girl prepare delicious breakfast every morning, always smiling. Piero the doggo and the masai guard also very friendly :) We definitely recommend this to everybody!

Location was great, just 5 minute walk to the beach - this is as close as you can get without staying at a beachfront hotel. Staff were great - I was travelling solo and Stefano, the owner, made an effort to make me feel secure, welcome and comfortable. Great room and bathroom; hot shower. Nice main area beside the pool. Breakfast was great. Relaxing villa.

Wifi is sometimes interrupted but they get it back and running as soon as they know :)

Nice place to stay in Nungwi, just a few minutes away from the crowded and noisy parties. They have really nice staff. Stefano, Hadiya, Eliza and Masaine, and of course lovely Piero, will take care of you during your holiday. You can have a delicious breakfast by the pool. The housekeeping is great and they keep your room nice and clean. The majority of streets in Nungwi are soil but the one to get to the Villa is fine and safe, just be nice with a “Jambo” and you’ll get a big smile from the locals. Asante sana!! Many thanks!

Once we became comfortable with our surroundings, there was nothing. Felt like home.

We had to travel along a bumpy dirt road before we arrived at our Villa, But once we were inside the gates to the villa, it was wonderful. The staff were friendly, the breakfast good, the room large, clean and generally quiet (Except for the odd dog barking or cow mooing). We quickly learnt as two women that it was perfectly safe to walk around, day and night, with every person we met greeting us with “Jambo”. Ngunwi beach is beautiful with white sand and turquoise water. There are many restaurants to be found along the beach and we ate at a different one every night.

The room was well designed with lots of places to store your clothes and stuff and the bed was comfortable. AC worked perfectly and it was quiet and peaceful. The pool area was nice and neat and the staff was very kind and friendly with good service. Also there was a place where you can dry your clothes and towels etc.

Very nice and friendly place. Hatiba (I hope I say the name correctly), always served a great breakfast :-) You walk 5 minutes to one of the best beaches of Zanzibar.
