We stayed in this little resort fro one week and we couldn't ask for anything better. The staff was kind and always available to help you. The cuisine is delicious and we could also ask for snacks all day long with all inclusive package. It overlooks Nungwi beach with is the most iconic in Zanzibar. Hope to come back!

pleasant hotel in the garden. could have been more green. large rooms simply furnished. pictures are missing. the mattresses in room 109 are as hard as concrete, but this is not the case in all rooms. the beach is great, clean and you can swim all day. small tides. sometimes noise from the hotel next door. nightlife weak.beautiful sunsets. small choice of food in the restaurant if you are longer...

Vera Sunset Beach Resort in Zanzibar boasts a splendid location right by the beach, offering picturesque views and a serene atmosphere. Overall, the resort provides a pleasant experience; however, there are areas that could use improvement. While the food was average, the lack of an à la carte option was a bit disappointing. The drinks, though adequate, seemed slightly diluted. Additionally, our room...

Rooms of a decent standard, efficient air conditioning, working fridge, safe for free. Great lunches and dinners, something different every day, always tasty. Cold beer and a choice of red and white wine with lunch and dinner. The drinks in the ALL option are very weak, basically just something similar to juice. All alcoholic beverages are charged extra $6 each. The only problem is the animations,...

Welcome to Paradise - Great Price Value We have known this property since the early beginnings. First time was in 2015. We saw several managers come and go. This month, the hotel was reopened by a lovely British/Tanzanian couple and they are here to stay. It has only 12 rooms and you have a great view. Garden is beautiful and chickens are running around. This is a place where you can really relax...

It was butiq hotel experience than no high expectations, ower and wife still around. I stay this place back 2014 and last year but just had time to write about it. If you don’t get there everything easy and helpful. We had issues with internal small airline I end up getting 2 more time of island ticket. Anyway just do it one time of deal and don’t forget do red monkey tour.

Very nice hotel! The owner especially. They helped us with everything, organizing tours, giving tips, getting the transfers. Highly recommended. The staff is very friendly. Super close to the beach, they even have their own beach bar!

One of the best boutique hotels on the Island. With it's calm atmosphere and kind staff it's an absolutely must to visit in Zanzibar. The food was amazing. Everything about this place was perfect for us.

The perfect place for an authentic Zanzibar experience! We stayed at this hotel for 3 weeks and were more than happy with our experience! The food is delicious, the rooms are very spacious and the staff are super friendly. This small, typical hotel is located in an authentic village, with a private beach just a 1-minute walk away. This may seem surprising at first glance, but in reality the place...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 **A Hidden Gem in Zanzibar!** My stay at Zan View Hotel was nothing short of magical. Nestled on a hilltop above the charming fishermen's village of Kairo, this hotel offers breathtaking views and a true Zanzibari experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the pristine white sands of Kiwengwa Beach. The staff at Zan View Hotel are incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure...

Utupoa is PURE BLISS!We arrived late, but our transfer was sorted - thanks for the smooth pickup! Joyce, Maria and all the staff made us feel at home instantly - they (and everyone else!) go ABOVE AND BEYOND. Food? Fabulous! Beaches? Stunning, with epic walks. 💕. Our upstairs room was spacious, cool, and had VIEWS FOR DAYS (pool + beach = perfection). But what really made our stay special was the wonderful...

Utupoa was the absolute highlight of our trip! The staff really made the experience special, Maria was so sweet and kind, Noura was amazing, and Joyce, the owner, was just incredible. She has such a warm, welcoming energy and truly made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. You can tell how much love she’s put into the place, and it shows in everything from the shared dinners to the way she makes...

Joyce, Freddie and her staff make you feel as a part of their family direct. Very welcoming, service minded and including. We stayed there three days and celebrate new year at the hotel. The staff arranged a nice dinner buffe and party afterwards. Super good! The two rooms we stayed at were good and had a good standard. Eating dinner with the rest of the guest was fun and a very good concept. The food...

We booked this and it was fabulous. Joyce (owner) and her staff, including Freddie (daughter-social media/logistics) made our stay the best. It was such a personal experience with great food, community of guests coupled with a unique place that we came away with memory cocktails. Joyce facilitated our transportation, snorkeling and made the experience both simple and enjoyable. Her commitment to her...

Our stay at Utupoa was probably one of the best weeks of our lives! After having just climbed Mount Kilimanjaro a relaxing week in Zanzibar is what we sought and Utupoa was literal paradise. With the beach literally on the back door and the incredible vibes of this extensive tree house- like building it was the most idyllic location. I can’t not mention Joyce, the owner. Joyce was the kindest, funnest...

We visited Utupoa a year ago and will never forget our stay. Joyce is a wonderful host and her team of staff looked after us very well. The house is quirky and eclectic, which we loved. The location is right on the beach with beautiful sunrise views from the balcony. The beach is one of the finest on the island. Matemwe itself gives you a more authentic vibe than some of the other more commercial...

Good hotel, services enjoyed staying there for 2weeks safe car park friendly and honest staff would visit again

Very safe and clean place for the price friendly and hard working staff especially james in reception not forgetting kaka ally in the kitchen would recommend this hotel for the location

Nice no-thrills hotel, ideally located in the centre of the commercial heart of Dar, next to the Kisutu market and opposite the City mall. Rooms are large, simple and clean for a very reasonable price; excellent internet connection. Breakfast, though very basic, is included in the price. Massage service offered for a reasonable price. Safe and secure place, with excellent and helpful reception (James...

I didn't get the room I booked on booking but it was good enough. The service was great, especially Farad. The staff helps you order from a variety of restaurants and will bring to your room if you want. And the AC worked well. $18-20 a night with Aircon and very light breakfast (toast and coffee)

This hotel is a budget one but its very clean and beds are great to sleep on. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms get cleaned daily so no issues. I had no issues staying here and would book again when in DAR next.

First stay my bedside table was covered in something sticky. This stay the front desk had to call someone to see if my airport taxi was actually booked and they stapled my bags when I left them for the day? (They put a paper on it, to mark it’s mine) It’s just small holes but come one, why damage someone’s property? And they left them out in an open area where, yes there was the reception desk, but...

This was an excellent spot to stay, quiet beach, really lovely sized room. Great pool. Staff were really attentive without being in the way. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Also try the gnocchi from the restaurant it was exceptional!

We had spent the first part of our honeymoon in Tanzania mainland, doing a safari. When arriving on Zanzibar, we had a very unfortunate event. We had booked a horrible hotel in Nungwi, which risked destroying our honeymoon. We started searching around and found this beautiful boutique hotel "Milele Beach Resort". This beautiful hotel is owned and operated by the italian power-woman Lisa (Isabella...

The ocean front bungalow, the staff were exceptional very attentive, more staff than guests, the food was good. The quietness, the ambience Bathroom too dark, no magnifying mirror, nothing going on in the evening. Concrete under the sand in front of our bungalow, banged my toes a few times This was being covered as we was leaving, not sure if this would remedy the problem, but it is not dangerous...

This resort is an easy 10 out of 10. We absolutely loved this very special place and could not recommend it enough. The location is good, the rooms are lovely, the pool and amenities are very good, the restaurant is also amazing! Loved all the food we had there, it was all delicious. The owner Lisa was lovely and made us feel very welcome and right at home and she went above and beyond for us. The...

Fantastic family run boutique hotel right on the water! What a gem! Rooms are fantastic, bathroom is very spacious, the location is ideal (right on the beach), restaurant is very cute and stays open till late and Lisa, the manager is the soul of the place! Excellent staff that treated us like family! The welcome was also phenomenal - champagne and a small bite that made us feel very special on our...

Milele Beach Resort was the perfect choice for to spend a few days by the Indian Ocean. The resort is right on the oceanfront, the entrance of our bungalow was no further than 30 meters from the waves - it was majestic to listen the swell at night. The resort only has four rooms and four bungalows - a true boutique hotel. Our bungalow was comfortable and spacious, all made of natural materials, mainly...

Had a lovely 4 day stay, post safari at Dan Stan and this is a fantastic place to stay. We wanted a place away from the bustle of Arusha and this meets requirements without being too far away from the town. Really good value for money and the food was excellent at the restaurant with great choice of local food and great for a vegetarian like me. Rooms were great, we had one with a view of Mount Meru...

My (adult) son and I visited for three days before our African Safari, and returned for two nights following the Safari. Every staff member was so helpful, friendly and kind. Accommodating our every need, arranging drivers and a one day, last minute visit to Arusha National Park before our big Safari started.

This is a very special place. It is a small scale lodge, Mainly for people who stay one or two nights as a stopover on their Safari. We stayed a whole week and had the time of our life. The rooms (small houses really) are large, comfortable and clean. They have a very authentic feeling. The reception and bar are open 24 seven You can basically get everything you want or need there, just ask. For...

Encore un lieu étonnant ! Et encore du personnel adorable (on a l'impression d'être attendus) ; des chambres immenses (ça vaut le coup d'y rester plus d'une nuit) Here's another amazing place! And again smiling personnel to give you the impression you're just expected; very large rooms invite you to stay more than one night. I highly recommend the place !

I love this place . Close to airport, quiet, with beautiful, friendly nice staff 😍. food is fresh and delicious. Cons: rooms is not brand new, sometimes electricity goes out. but that's ok. we will definitely come back

Very friendly staff, nice service

One of the most attentive staff. It was just a short stay but they’ve done everything for our comfort. Best place for a short stay ! Highly recommended !

We stayed there just for one day and it's all about your expectations. Hotel are 5 min a way from airport I think that is why it a bit overpriced. They have AC and fan which is good but as for me...to dark room and not enough air...very dusty. 80% of the time wifi are not working. Restaurant are OK...but be prepared for million flies around while you eating 🙈

Room are so good and adorable staff are helpful and good services 🥰

We had a wonderful 7-day stay at Seles, where we celebrated both Christmas and a birthday, and it couldn’t have been a better place to do so. The staff were incredibly helpful and truly engaged in planning the perfect birthday, which made the day extra memorable. One of the things that really gave the place it’s soul was the cozy and relaxed atmosphere, where locals also stop by for a beer. It created...

The perfect place to relax during the heat of the day. Lush vegetation and a great pool. The cabins were clean, comfortable, well presented and reasonably priced. The service was excellent - a big shout out to Jovin and Mariam who made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious and they also have wonderful live music. Would stay there again in a heart beat.

Lovely place, the balcony in the main area where you can watch the sea and zanzibar life is so nice! It is a very charming place. There is a very helpful and friendly staff. They try everything to make you happy. If something does not work they try everything to fix it.

It was very good, guys just keep going. Only good words for you. Food, housekeeping, bar, always with big smile. We will remember forever this great positive vibes. I hope we will comeback again in the future. Stay like this Seles don't change nothing. ❤️

The staff are very nice and friendly,Hotel is located in the ocean plus they have a very beautiful terrace where you can see the view ocean, food also is very good-Norberth is good organizer for every thing in the hotel, we feel very happy see you soon

A little friendly paradise on the beach. I travelled with my two teenagers. Good food and fresh fruit every morning. Very nice atmosphere and staff. Music in the evenings. Clean rooms, mosquito nets. The staff helped me to book a driver from the ferry and boat trip (snorkelling, we saw dolphins!)

Room service is Good It’s peaceful Quite ideal for your budget

You get what you pay for. It has everything you need from a hotel, a bed, ac, bathroom, breakfast. None of it is great but it is all sufficient.

Room is clean but old. However they are trying to keep clean. Breakfast is so-so. It is a good hotel if we consider about the price.

Good value hotel. Rooms are basic but they have working aircon, mosquito nets and running water. The location is perfect for catching the Zanzibar ferry of a train from Central Station.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Excellent Stay at Kibodya Hotel 6 I had a great experience staying at Kibodya Hotel 6 in Dar es Salaam, located conveniently on Nkrumah Street. From the moment I arrived, the reception was warm and professional, making check-in smooth and welcoming. The security is excellent, giving me peace of mind throughout my stay. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with functioning...

This is a perfect hotel to stay in just over night or for a few nights in Dar Es Salam. It’s really cheap, the rooms are simple but good and the staff is super friendly! Also you get breakfast 👌

It was a great experience staying here, challenge was the parking. Other than the front roadside parking, there's no other.

Its fantastic. Everyone must visit

Rooms are very small but relatively clean. Wifi works well. Don't think it is value for money though. This came as part of my Safari package. I've stayed in hostels in Tanzania that are of better value than this budget hotel. I had dinner at restaurant and the food is not bad. The breakfast is limited though.

Room was small but relatively clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating, there was a reasonable selection of drinks and the kitchen offered to stay open late to prepare me a meal (I had a late flight into Kilimanjaro), which I did not take them up on. Breakfast was good and staff were again responsive and friendly. Would stay again for a short visit.

Real and precious African village life experience. Every day we have a rich breakfast and dinner, playing with the children, watching animals in the yard, and learning batik in the workshop ... I feel that I have become a member of the family. I couldn't help crying when I left, it was an unforgettable memory.

"Eazy" Emil is an awesome, amazing individual, so helpful, funny, relaxed, he is a favorite manager indeed, if you want the real rural experience, unplugging from the digital matrix, than this is for you, beware of blood sucking insects

A warm welcome from the host and a lovely evening meal. Room was clean and comfortable. Simple but good value.

The place is very good and interesting

Loved it, down to earth and real place set in friendly local village

Basic but great value. However, the main point should be that it is extremely welcoming, a lovely atmosphere and the best introduction to Tanzania and Tanzanian lifestyle. Must like dogs, chickens and life.

Clean room, wonderful owner, helpful staff and well located.

Cosy hotel in the town center.

Food is warm, delicious and Staff are great

Good eating place and the best breakfast

Clean Restaurant specializing in local dishes. But long past its best days. Slow service few customes limited menu

A great place but kinda little pricey compared to the services offered. There should be some power outlets outside, it will be a very great place to work outside. Sometimes you have to stop or call the waiters passing around otherwise you may wait a little longer than you planned.

Great experience and service at affordable price. Bed and breakfast for 2 cost 80,000tsh. Breakfast on the roof with sea view is amazing they serve fruits omelet chapati and tea. Located near the ferry 5 - 10 mins walk. Service wise, they need to improve on providing toiletries and water. Wifi is available on each floor. Thank you for your services.

Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Ok location if you are heading to the ferry. But a bit tucked away. I wouldn't recommend for solo travelers. The price is a bit high for what you get. The rooms are simple and a bit sad looking. But they have everything you need: fan, AC, hot and cold shower with good preasure. The breakfast on the rooftop is quite disappointing. This place could be so much...

It is good for the price. It is near a fish market so expectedly it smells a bit like fish. The rooftop breakfast was great and the people that work there are eager to help. The plumbing in the bathroom could use an upgrade.

Really nice stay on a budget! The service was amazing, we got a lot of help from the reception and especially their offer for different tourist activities (for a good price) was much appreciated. Did blue safari, spice tour and city tour, and would have loved to try even more if our stay was longer. Wifi, functional breakfast with fruits, tea, juice and eggs, a nice location close to the ferry port...

Very good hotel not too far from ferry and with reasonable prices . Building in and out looks like it was built or remodelled not long time ago so you can expect many things still like new here. Nice terrace on the rooftop where you can have awesome breakfast at mornings. Highly recommend!

Very clean beach. Enjoyed the food...local.food...and excellent service....place food order once you arrive. Otherwise it will.be served very late...... Very good swinging bed. Enjoyed relaxing on it....miss peponi...

Best experience! Wonderful customer service! Generous food potions and nice cooking! Friendly everything including dogs! I will surely get back, recommending to everyone!

We camped for just one night. As we were the only ones at the resort we had the place to ourselves. The place is a bit rundown could do with some attention but this did not detract from our stay. We had electricity at the campsite, lighting, nice seating area with a view of the sea where we ate breakfast prepared by John. The hot water is under repairs but wasn’t needed as it is nice and warm. The...

Get a camping spot near the beach. Enjoy the good food. The snorkelling trip makes a very nice day trip.

This is a great place where the staff and manager went over and about their call of duty to make sure we had a wonderful relaxing stay. Great clean rooms and food. I would highly recommend it. It had a homely feel as well as a professional touch. Philomena 😊

The CBA Hotel Tanga features a garden, shared lounge, and terrace. The clean rooms are equipped with a wardrobe, desk, and flat-screen TV. Bed linen and towels are provided. The hotel offers many amenities including air conditioning, generator, WiFi, always hot water, and friendly staff. The breakfast with eggs and sausages as well as the good restaurant are additional pluses. The prices are reasonable...

The hotel was fairly basic and there were no loud parties during the week that i was staying. Just across the road is the Tanga Yacht Club where you can take out temporary membership for a modest fee. Join and get access to the excellent restaurant, bar and wonderful views. I had a great time and would love to go back.

The CBA Hotel, a 3-star hotel in Tanga, Tanzania, is conveniently close to both the beach and the city center. The hotel has a terrace, garden, and communal lounge. It is beachfront. The hotel offers clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private bathrooms. At the hotel, a wardrobe is included in every room, including the premium and standard rooms. Each room features a flat...

However It's my first time to visit this place,,, now I can say this is where you can leave all your tiredness, gather comfort,, and stress,,, you become a really renewed person 😁❤️😊. The place is accessible via all means of transports. I would either recommend regular cleanliness in latrines and showers are not enough OK at camping site.

Rooms are very small, Ambience is good though but some improvement with cleanliness and repair in the rooms is required Staff were friendly and service was good Breakfast was good too

Basic hotel for one night if you need to stay near the airport. Free pickup from airport. Food is terrible. Good price.

I would like to thank receptionist that was working on 28/29.8.2022 for her amazing approach. Since I was destroyed after my day and I needed to wake up early for my another flight, she was very helpful with everything. Asante sana.

While not top end, still quite a good facility, despite the surrounding properties doing it a disservice. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quiet, which is a plus. Even though the soundproofing is poor. Remember triple glazing isn't for everyone.
