We really loved our stay here. The staff is very accomodating and helpful and the fresh seafood was wonderful everyday. The beach is quiet and beautiful to go for a swim.

We went as a family with kids. Ofcourse value for money compared to those hotels near to the beach. Mafia is a big island but inhabitants is low. Having said that, this hotel was near to any basic amenities required. It is even just 5 to 7 minutes walk to the domestic airport. The staffs welcomed us very well and made our stay exceptionally perfect. They even organized good deal excursion, we all kids managed to see whale-shark and swim with them at Kilindoni which was 10 minutes drive from this hotel. Even snorkeling and blue-lagoon was amazing at Utende which was about 40 minutes drive. All transport was well provided and taken care of us. Looking forward to be back!

I can not put in words how much I loved this place and the amount of gratitude I have for the manager. It’s a beautiful serene place with a beautiful pool area and delicious food as well as great apartments. The people working here are super friendly, beyond kind and helpful. Even during a medical emergency they remained calm and supportive.

Everything was great. Great location. Great staff, 10+ points to staff. Good food, I don't remember Chef's name, but after the kitchen is closed, he will entertain you aswell. If you want anything, just ask Hassan the supervisor and he will make it happen. Talk with Omi the bartender, he's a great guy. Also Mudi and Ubi, 2 super guys. If you want to relax!?... Ooh, this is the place for you in Mafia Island.

The location itself is very nice, staff and owners are very friendly, the whaleshark tour was good (the weather was bad and we didn't see whalesharks but they really tried their best).

The location was amazing when it was high tide you could go out and snorkel on the beach to the jetty the water. Has a great sunset view bar with great staff. Food was also great and quite dynamic not always the same.

Ally is the perfect host, very kind, helpful and responsive. He organized for a tuk tuk to pick us up at the airport on arrival and he called one for us anytime that we needed it. He’s also very helpful to organize tours and activities. Location is great, outside of the marine park area so there’s no tax to pay everyday and it’s where locals live. Close to the beach and a few min of tuk tuk to the airport area where there are a few nice places to eat, it’s also possible to go there walking, which we did every time, you just need the torch. Also not far away from the marine park by tuk tuk. Room is basic but exactly as in the pictures, pretty spacious and clean. There is no hot water but that honestly is not a problem at all considering the temperatures, besides, I think this is the same in pretty much the whole island. Breakfast is good and they are also very flexible on the time if asked. Value for money is great so overall it’s the perfect place to explore Mafia on a budget. Hope to come back. Asante sana!

Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time.

Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time. Still underdeveloped with not too many locals handling foreign languages but nice people. A lot of chinese low key staff in the boutiques but sometimes quite pricey. Even the beer is cheaper in Europe ! Kilindoni is the main spot and if you don't find a certain thing here , you won't be able to find it on the other part of the island. Island still lacks promotion ( advertising ) and I was disappointed that I wasn't able to find those T shirts with Mafia logo or saying something about the island. I went there for diving - and it turned out to be the most expensive one I had in whole my life - so resume to whale shark watching.until the government change its mind and stops screwing tourists. ( I hope this will happen in the future ). Regarding the diving: I'm an instructor so can lay down a professional thought: good but not outstanding as they brag ... and not worth the money.
