This place was so great. I booked it randomly, and I would never imagine I get this kind of treatment. The manager is Josua or I might be mistaken, is so caring. The make my stay very special.. Literally, when I wake up and open my curtain, restaurant girl will come and take my order for breakfast. Whatever I wish to have they will find a way and do it, just give it a time. Room is no new, feels like no one live there before. They did my laundry for free, because I was from safari. Towels and everything smells nice, soft, just a paradise, view was great. And it was very warm. I never forget that hospitality. Apart from all of that, they did for me birthday party, which brought me back to childhood. It was so warm, so sweet. I couldn’t ever forget that. All of you guys you make my birthday special 🫶🏻 As a recommendation I would say book it, tell what you like or what you expect or if you have any special occasion. This guys a really there for you, not just words. Best hotel in Tanzania.

Very beautiful property that is very close to the beach as well as nearby restaurants. Yusuf was of great help showing us around and helping us with our needs.

The location on the beach and the friendly host

Amazing location, friendly staff, and beautiful garden we wish to come back again! 🥰

I was upgraded to a bigger room and I had my own outside seating area. Excellent and plenty of choices of food for breakfast. The restaurant also served delicious lunch and dinner. The location was safe and quiet. Security on property. Friendly owners and staff. The back up generator really helped when the whole Zanzibar lost power for several hours.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, the location is very close to the beach, the choice of breakfasts are excellent , and always fresh fruits, fresh juices and sweets. There is a TV with the ability to watch Netflix, which is very pleasing. Cleaning every day. Many thanks to all the staff and hotel manager Laura for the wonderful hospitality and gifts, and special thanks to Omar for his responsiveness and help.

I absolutely loved this hotel. It was so restful and beautiful. The staff were really attentive and so friendly. The lady who made up our room every day did a particularly great job with decorating our room with flowers every single day. I would not hesitate to come back

The hotel has a fantastic location—right on the beach and centrally placed on the island. The design is stunning, and the facilities are great, with options like padel, pickleball, table tennis, and a pool. The buffet offers plenty of variety (though it’s mostly Italian with some local dishes), and overall, the food is really good (however, the one night we had a food rush (guest after guest waitingin line for pasta), and the chef in a panic just started dishing out undercooked pasta).

Best thing about hotel is that you can ask whatever you want and 99% of your wishes come true. As European I like some things made differently as they are in Africa but if you ask the hotel staff makes it! As example I can say they make awsome tuna stakes if you ask them! And they also add rum to your coconut if you ask. So the main tip is - ASK! Moreover, as experienced travelwr I have been reading reviews about the hotel and two things were very disturbing (a) that the selection of food os not very rich; and (b) that the tides make the sea go away for a far far way. To tackle that I shall say that (a) food is good and changes everyday, so even on 11 night stay you will have a varios optios to choose from (especialy if you are into sea food); (b) tides are constant but there was no day with out sea at your foot steps to the pool, meaning that some times you have to wait half a day before sea comes back but it eventualy does.

Everything about this hotel is amazingly exceptional from the front desk to the ambiance , staff customer care, wide range of breakfast options. The beautiful rooms .. I enjoyed my walk in pool room and surprise birthday floating breakfast. Very clean rooms and compound. The beach is right at the hotel,

We had a great stay at this Hotel. The service felt genuinely personalised, which made all the difference. We chose to dine in the restaurant and were delighted with both the food and the service. A very intimate hotel, a grand spot altogether.

I loved the beach and the surroundings lots of trees so atleast that brought a lot of fresh air and wasn’t very humid. Loved the good food only wish they had more traditional Swahili food like ugali otherwise it was good.

I have been to Zanzibar many times and stayed in different high-level hotels, and I can confidently say — this hotel is one of the best! 🔥 Excellent value for money and very pleasant service. We traveled as a big group, and everyone was absolutely delighted! A special thank you to the manager Emanuel, who was extremely attentive to every detail and always friendly. And also a huge thank you to the owner of the hotel, who was present during our stay and made it especially enjoyable. The staff is attentive and always quick to respond to any request. The atmosphere is very friendly, and you truly feel like a welcome guest. Rooms are kept very clean. Breakfasts may not have a huge variety, but everything is always fresh, tasty, and more than enough — exactly what you need to start the day with a nice meal and a beautiful view 🌴 The hotel grounds are wonderfully green and well maintained, with two large swimming pools and plenty of comfortable sunbeds. The beach is beautiful, especially at high tide, and even at low tide it looks picturesque in its own way. The rooms are spacious, stylish, and bungalow-style — very cozy. Nearby there are small shops and nice cafés, and the hotel itself is located right next to the famous Kiwengwa Beach.

Enjoyed the space of the junior suite and the beach and ocean were the best.

Lulu had a fantastic pool, very comfortable bed. The location was one block off the beach and very close to restaurants. Good wifi, friendly staff, great air conditioning and great hot water.

Absolutely everything, they were professional, a lot of attractions and surprises. They were beyond my expectations. Great support from the staff and such an excellent organization.

Everything at Marafiki Bungalows was exceptional. We ate all our meals there and everything was made from scratch - a variety of freshly baked pastries in the morning, fresh bread in the evening, home-made jams, fresh seafood, etc.. It was so delicious. There were sufficient sun-loungers and day beds for all the guests.

The pictures online are not doing justice to how beautiful
