We loved our stay in Kendwa Carletto Style. The bungalow was clean and spacious with a nice patio for relaxing with a book. The staff are really helpful and added little details to make our stay extra special. It was nice to get a feel for the locality on the short walk to the beach. At low tide you can walk over and back between Kendwa and Nungwi. If the tide comes in you can take a short taxi ride or water taxi. There is a really nice Italian restaurant with delicious cocktails on Nungwi beach. Can't remember the name but it's up some wooden steps, right beside the Mama Mia ice cream parlour(not the one at Kendwa Rocks)

Crazy man is really crazy in a very nice way. He helps you out all the time, gets you the best deals on tours and restaurants and he is just a really cool and nice guy. From the roof terrace you can see sunrise and sunset (not at the sime time ;-) ) and you have a 270° view on the ocean.

My husband and me are highly impressed with the hotel. We stayed for one week and we are grateful for everyone for the hospitality and kindness of the stuff. Daily breakfast was amazing: the cooker cooked those which we want: toast, eggs, vegetables. Also, stuff always took into account our wishes if we ordered food in the hotel. The hotel is located at 500 metres from the beach, but it wasn't a problem because of a great swimming pool in the hotel territory. Our house was also very clean as the stuff cleaned it every day.

Lovely clean villa with a real holiday feel. The manager Iman is a real gentleman and super helpful. All the staff are vey polite and do a great job. The nearby beach is amazing where you can get snorkeling excursions or rent jet skis and other water sports items. The beach is a 10 to15 minutes walk from the villas

The Villa suited us we rented both apartments for the entire family so we had sole access to the pool and outdoor facilities. The staff were absolutely amazing and made our trip the best yet. They did so much to accommodate us in any way and made us all feel so welcome and special. The cleaners were spot on also, the rooms were clean to a good standard and the pool was very well kept! Breakfast in the mornings was also very good

Location, location, location. The hotel is on the most beautiful beach. just a perfect distance from the busy Paje beach and village. The staff were amazing and attentive. Our suite was big and comfortable. They are also very mindful of the guests and ensure the constant flow of hawkers do not harass the guests as there are many. We will be back for what felt like the perfect tropical island getaway.

The staff was amazing (thank you Adil, Jenny and Lucy) and helpful, the villa and view are beautiful, it’s in a quiet area which was great after 2 weeks in Paje/Jambiani. The breakfast is really good and the chef cooked for us what we wanted every evening. We loved every bit of our stay

For the price, it's veru good value. It's in the middle of the village so walking back at night can be just pitch black, though not dangerous. For a male traveller, its perfectly fine. Would not recommend for solo female traveller. The owner is very nice, he can help organise day trip or tour

Villa Kiota is a gem of a boutique hotel a short walk from the beach. The breakfast was great and included local fruit, fresh juice and lots of healthy and/or filling options. My partner especially liked the fresh bread with guacamole and cheese. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They helped us plan tours, arrive at the right locations, and find a post office box for our postcards. Also, there are numerous great restaurants within a few minutes' walk on the beach. This hotel is an incredible value for all it has to offer.

Lovely hotel consisting of private villas only, surrounded by a garden. Gives a lot of privacy and has vibes of Ubud in Bali. Extremely comfortable bed and very quiet during the night. And of course most welcoming hosts.
