Maisha Nungwi

Khách sạn này thật hoàn hảo! Chúng tôi đã có khoảng thời gian tuyệt vời ở Maisha. Căn phòng cực kỳ sạch sẽ và được trình bày tốt. Bản thân khách sạn rất đẹp và quán bar trên bãi biển / bãi biển chỉ cách đó 2 phút đi bộ rất nhanh. Mọi thứ thật tuyệt vời và chúng tôi chắc chắn sẽ quay lại sớm! Cảm ơn

Our stay was truly exceptional, from the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The resort has a great location two minutes walk from white sandy Beach with Crystal clear turquoise water. The staff was really friendly willing to assist in every request. They do assist you with transportation and booking you your required trips. The resort has two indoor pools and very nice rooms. I would give it 3/5 for breakfast, Other than that, they do have a restaurant right by the beach, which serves amazing food with beautiful sunset view and they do have entertainment every other night.

Beautiful boutique hotel with two pools and so many trees and plants you feel like in a small jungle. It takes approx. 3 min to get to the sea - you probably won’t swim in that area right away as the beach is not cleaned there, but after a short walk towards Nungwi direction, you’ll find plenty of sunbeds for a good price. At Maisha Nungwi, you can chill by the clean pool for a whole day if you are the pool person! Mind that Nungwi is not a resort area - you live next to the locals, you get to experience their live on the beach, pass the local school, etc. For us, this is what we were looking for and loved it. The turtle sanctuary is just next door - definitely go there, you’ll learn a lot and see majestic turtles. Please don’t swim with them if you have your sunscreen on.

Our stay at Maisha was really nice. The staff is always kind and accommodating, the rooms are spacious and the two pools very tropical. The hotel is surrounded by nature and you really feel the exotic vibe. Maisha beach restaurant is also very nice, we visited when they had the sea food grilled night and it was great! Highly recommend it!

We stay 4 days in family of 4 in 2 roms in front of pool. Nice and well decorated small hotel, breakfast buffet was very good but some days is on demmand and limit quantity this was unsatisfactory. Staff was very kind. The terrace in the beach is really nice, but the food too expensive. The path to the beach is in bad condition... could be improved.

Staying here was nothing short of a disappointment. The grounds were poorly maintained, with a stark contrast between the reality and the deceptively flattering photos. It felt like stepping into a budget misrepresentation rather than the picturesque retreat promised. The bedroom was a disaster in itself. The mosquito mesh—a critical feature in this region—was in shambles. While some holes were crudely patched, others gaped open. It was as though they’d started a repair job but couldn’t muster the energy to finish. The bathroom, however had no door—just a flimsy curtain hanging limply between the bedroom and the bathroom, and it didn’t even reach the floor. Privacy? Forget it. Worse still, an unfinished wall dominated the space, a ghastly eyesore of overflowing mortar and untidy brickwork. It wasn’t trendy; it screamed laziness and neglect. This monstrosity also served as a backdrop for the bed, so there was no escaping it. Practicalities were no better. There was no fridge in the room, which is unacceptable in a country with such heat. Renting one cost an additional $5 per day—an insult considering the circumstances. The balcony curtain was laughably inadequate, leaving you at the mercy of the blazing morning sun. As for the balcony door itself, it required Herculean strength to open or close. Nature’s intrusion wasn’t a feature; it was a problem. Lizards wandering into the room were met with a shrug and the dismissive advice that “this is nature, don’t worry.” The Masai were kind enough to spray for mosquitoes but offered no solution for the reptilian invaders. The lack of a generator was another glaring failure. Daily power cuts, sometimes multiple times a day, left us stranded in darkness—something we hadn’t experienced at any other hotels in Zanzibar. And then there was the food. Half-board was a joke. The same uninspired menu was recycled every day, with additional charges for certain items—dollars only, of course. Drinks, even soft ones, weren’t included. If you fancied anything from their so-called barbecue menu, prepare to pay extra as that wasn’t covered either. Overall, this was an unforgivable letdown, riddled with negligence, poor planning, and blatant penny-pinching at every turn.
