Guest Houses in Nungwi

The hotel is very conveniently located and it is very close to the beach. The owner Selchuk is a great local guide. He informs you about all the attractions. The breakfast they serve is also very good. The rooms are very large too.

Extremely friendly staff and the place is as special as the picture would suggest. The bungalows are spacious and full of natural light, very pleasant

The place is very special and therefore might not be right for everyone. I typically don't write reviews, but as the place is so special (and as I just missed a flight ;)) I would like to help directing the right people into the place: Come here if you are looking for: - a very personal experience with your hosts. After a very short time you will rather feel like visiting friends than being at a hotel. - amazing self-cooked food. Breakfast and dinner is also just like friends cooking for you. Collin is an amazing chef. Try his tuna steak. You will get cheaper offers for dinner in local restaurants, but in terms of quality and quantity they can't compete with Collin. Mind that Collin might not cook every night for you (e.g. when rugby is on), so talk early to him when you want to eat at the lodge. - a calm and spacious place in which you can sit directly at the sea in an exclusivity you will not have in all the nearby high-end hotels. You will have a huge property almost for your own. - very nice other guests. People are chilled and it's true what's written in the other reviews. Collin kicks out people who spread negative vibes ;-) - great views and a lonely sandbank. From the sand beach and pool terrace on the rocks right next to the sea and from the terraces of your bungalow you will have amazing views to the sea. Don't come here if you are looking for: - "Zanzibari 5-star service" in which you have a waiter every 5 meters serving you a cocktail and cleaners cleaning your room twice per day. It's just the 2 people owning the place and 1 employee. - A new hotel with a lot of standardization which was just build 1-2 years ago. The place was built over the past 20 years by the owners. Collin used to be in the construction industry himself so everything is built nicely. He does not like edges and standardization, so you will not feel like in a branded hotel. - Sand beaches to swim. Go to the west side of Nungwi.

The room and the facilities are very comfortable. The breakfast is rich and delicious. The owner and his assistant, Viktor are exceptionally friendly and helpful in really everything. The biggest help was that Viktor arranged motorcycle taxi (boda-boda) every day to the beach. The price is 3.000. TSH. for one way. Thank you again Jusuf and Viktor for the cosy accomodation :)

Makofi is an amazing place to stay 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 A perfect place for SOLO TRAVELLERS, but not only. I felt 200% safe there. I left my stuffs, phone money and other belongings on the table and always find them there. The staff is just awesome. They made my stay incredible. Thanks to everyone 🙏 You can ask them for any tips, they are so friendly and always willing to help. I really loved the Makofi design. This place has an amazing vibe. I stayed there for 9 nights and i felt already home. I arrived very early in the morning, they let me leave my stuffs there and chill on the nice swings until my check-in time. The place has a a very positive vibe, you can meet a lot of people there to chill or go out. The best burgers and pizza!!!!! Daily housekeeping. I highly recommend the Makofi guest house 🔝🔝🔝

The place is very nice and super clean, all the staff is amazing, super kind and they clean your room every day. It has a nice area for breakfast, all the facilities are good, aircon works well, wifi is fast, swimming pool is nice, it has sun beds, etc. The breakfast is big enough, there are different options, the location is amazing, just a short walk to a nice beach, and a few minutes walking from different restaurants. The people around the area are very nice and friendly, we felt safe walking around all the time. A big Thanks to all the people from Ondo House, specially to Ali and Hassan, they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during our stay, they helped us to arrange taxi, helped us to go around the ATM, they are very kind and good people! I highly recommend this place, we will definitely come back next season :)

I loved everything about this place !! The owner and the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful during my staying. The breakfast was really nice and fresh, the room was clean and comfortable with lots of space and it is a quiet and peaceful environment. The location is perfect, it’s a 5 minute walk from the beach and 30 min from the main Nungwi beach, but I did not mind walking at all because the neighborhood is really friendly with lots of shops.

You actually can’t describe the experience you can have there in words, but it’s definitely a visit worth to see for yourself! The owner is definitely a bit crazy, but in a GOOD way! Maybe you first have to get used to it, but then your stay will be amazing!!! Crazyman cares so much for his guests, he will get you to the beach and other places and can organize tours for you at good prices! We definitely can recommend to stay with this crazy dude and his crazy family:-)

All the staff were friendly but Melina , Anita & Masai stood out for being exceptional. They all made our stay very comfortable, we were treated like family . We really felt at home . I was celebrating my birthday and woke up to surprise decorations and balloons at our door step in the morning. Now that was heart warming thank you so much 🥰
