"Location is perfect, next to restaurants and a few minutes walk from shops and bars. Beautiful rooms with all necessary amenities. Our only problem was the restaurant menu which was very limited, no beef or lamb at all and also very limited quantities. In breakfast, even if it was early nobody replaced empty trays. Moreover there was no kind of cheese or charcuterie!!!!"

"Excellent hotel for a reasonable price. This isn't my first time staying here. There's a delicious and inexpensive restaurant on site. I highly recommend it.👍"

"Check-in at the front desk was a bit slow. The hotel facilities are outdated; the air conditioning and mini-fridge compressor hummed all night, which disturbed my sleep. I was hesitant to use the hairdryer because it made crackling noises. Service was decent. There's an infinity pool, and it's easy to get to the beach."

"Maisha Lodge was such a beautiful place to stay. Tucked away from the bustle of Nungwi, it felt peaceful and relaxing while still being close to everything. The two pools were amazing and perfect for unwinding. The rooms had everything you could want and were very clean, modern, and comfortable. The beach bar was also a lovely spot to relax with a drink, and we had a great massage during our stay. The staff were helpful and quick to respond when booking tuk-tuks and tours for us, which made getting around really easy. Just expect typical tourist prices, as you’ll find in much of Nungwi."

"Our stay at this hotel was truly wonderful, mainly because of the exceptional staff. A very special thanks goes to Glory, Bello, and Ali – they were absolutely outstanding. All three were extremely helpful, kind, and friendly, and they supported us whenever we needed assistance. Their warm attitude and professionalism made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. We would also like to praise the staff at the dining reception, the waitresses, and the security team. Everyone was consistently very friendly, attentive, and professional, which contributed greatly to a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. Overall, this hotel has an excellent team that truly makes a difference. We would happily return and highly recommend this hotel to others!"

"As a returning guest who has frequented Amaan Bungalows nearly every winter since 2017, I have observed a steady decline in service standards over the years. However, my most recent experience has reached an unacceptable level for any professional hospitality establishment. The primary concern involves a gross failure in reservation management. Despite booking a Sea View room with a King-size bed months in advance for the New Year period, I was informed upon arrival that the category was unavailable. I was offered a significantly inferior, cramped room with twin beds—an arrangement entirely unsuitable for my requirements. Whether this was due to administrative negligence or overbooking for financial gain, it represents a severe breach of contract and professional ethics. I would like to extend my professional gratitude to Trip.com for their prompt intervention and for providing financial compensation for the material and moral damages caused by the hotel’s mismanagement. The hotel’s inability to maintain internet connectivity during power outages is unjustifiable. While neighboring, more affordable establishments (e.g., Highland Bungalows) ensure seamless internet via generators, Amaan Bungalows fails to provide this basic utility. Staffing Levels: There is a critical shortage of housekeeping staff, leading to delayed check-ins and irregular room maintenance. Dining and Atmosphere: The restaurant’s culinary quality has fallen below the standard of local guest houses. Furthermore, the absence of ambient music during the day creates an unprofessional atmosphere dominated by staff noise and guest chatter. Commendations for Front-line Personnel Despite the systemic failures of upper management, several staff members deserve recognition for their professionalism: Hospitality (Restaurant/Bar): Omar is an exemplary professional. He not only assists guests with precision but also actively coaches junior staff on the importance of maintaining a positive, guest-oriented demeanor. The bartenders, in general, remain welcoming and courteous. Reception: Juma demonstrated genuine empathy and attempted to assist within his limited authority, contrasting sharply with senior management who exhibited a dismissive and unprofessional attitude toward my situation. Security & Housekeeping: The security team is highly efficient, often stepping in to assist with luggage due to staffing shortages. The housekeeping staff, though overworked, perform their duties to a high standard once they arrive. The location remains excellent, and the cleanliness of linens is satisfactory. However, the current management's disregard for confirmed bookings and their unprofessional response to grievances has severely damaged the hotel's reputation. I cannot recommend this establishment until a significant restructuring of management and operational protocols occurs."

"Spacious and very clean room. Large bathroom, hot water and good water pressure. The staff is very welcoming, I had the chance to eat a local meal as soon as I arrived. Everything is done to make your stay pleasant. I recommend this establishment for its excellent location, many shops nearby, taxis, restaurants and beach. The staff takes great care."

"Small hotel well located, beautiful spacious rooms very close to the ocean. Top team, very kind staff Big thank you to Mohamed the waiter at the bar for his professionalism"
