The service and staff were wonderful, very attentive and helpful. Free bikes so we could go into Utende which is 10 minutes away. Very nice gardens and grounds. Comfortable and nicely decorated rooms. Great food and juices. Only 2 rooms so feels boutique.

What an unexpected gem at the end of our holiday. It only has 3 rooms with amazing view and lovely staff. Our 3 year old daughter loved Ali who was so kind to play we her constantly. We stayed here 3 nights which was perfect because it is very secluded. Perfect for chill and some excursions. Food was lovely too. Thanks all!

This is a great place to stay if you are planning to dive in Mafia for a view days. The two cosy new bungalows are part of the family run dive center. The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is yummy and you can also have the option for dinner. I enjoyed the big pool to relax after great dives and the beach is just a stone throw away. Also the dive center and its extremely helpful staff deserves 5 stars!

Godfrey and his team, specially Daudi made our stay very pleasant. Always attentive and kind. The room was spacious and cleaned everyday. Hot water, good pressure, mosquito net, AC, everything was perfect. The restaurant is, undoubtedly, the best of the area.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for five nights in November 2023 and absolutely loved it! Great food, lovely staff, and wonderful surroundings! We were the only guests, so the staff was kind enough to plan all our activities and transportation. The great thing about Marfia Island is that everything is fairly close, so we rarely have to drive for more than an hour. Living in Killindoni also leaves a lot to do for those not going to Marfia for diving. - Danish travelers

What a simply beautiful hotel. Set in a lovely tropical oasis with a fantastic swimming pool and a wonderful bar area, this is a perfect place to stay whilst visiting Mafia. But what really makes it, are the simply amazing staff. They are completely dedicated to making your stay perfect. But the natural friendliness they show is humbling. When my partner was ill, everyone showed incredible concern and were willing to do anything for her. Thank you so much to the entire team. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Loved the rustic environment, low footprint place. The "tent house" was perfect. Good place to meet other travellers in the common hang out areas. Food was ok....the ourdoor showers were i teresting but very enjoyable....great day excursions can be booked through them. The Whale Shark trip was fantastic, a trip highlight for me at the end of almost 6 weeks in Africa. I did two Whale Shark trips and the one with Kitu Kiblu owner Jean was by far the better of the two. Would definitely stay here again.

Ally is a very good host that tries his best to help and make you feel at home. I had the room with own bathroom and it was big and comfy. Staff makes really nice food. A bit of a walk to the nice beaches but cheap to go there by motorbike. Friendly people in the lokal area. Definitely one of the cheapest accommodation around. Buy a local SIM to have access to the Internet. Cold showers. Tours can be booked from here.

An amazing little island with outstanding tree house accommodation. Eco tourism at its finest. Plenty of activities to keep you entertained. Perfect for winding down after doing safari. Definitely worth a visit. The owner has done so much to help the locals which was lovely to see.

We weren’t the only guests to extend their stay at at these beach bungalows. The rooms are comfy and spacious(although cold water only), and the meals varied and good quality at a reasonable price (TSH20K). We took the snorkelling trip to Chole Island, Blue Lagoon, plus barbecue on the sandbank - an excellent day out.
