Kivulini garden lodge and restaurants ★★★

📍 Nungwi beach village turaco, Nungwi

"The hotel is a 2-minute walk from the beach, but it doesn't have its own sun loungers! The room was cleaned well, and the breakfasts were simple but delicious."

My Blue Hotel Zanzibar
8.1 (58 reviews)

My Blue Hotel Zanzibar ★★★★

📍 Nungwi, Nungwi

"The My Blue Hotel is very nice and clean. The pool is the absolute highlight. You can enjoy the sunset from the pool. There were always plenty of free loungers on the beach, so that you had a choice of seats at any time. The staff distributed coconuts on the beach daily. The staff is very friendly, the food was delicious and fresh, the evening entertainment was varied, a very clean hotel. We would recommend it to anyone. The location and the beach are great. Massages are offered at the hotel at a good price. We enjoyed the holiday to the fullest. However, the internet was mostly bad. Hardly any reception in the room. This has room for improvement."

Zenobia Beach Resort
8.3 (72 reviews)

Zenobia Beach Resort ★★★

📍 Zenobia Beach Resort Zanzibar Nungwi-North coast, Nungwi

"We are just leaving Zenobia and we are truly sad to see it go. All of the staff were fantastic - Bella & Gloria at the front office, Richard, Enos, Halima, Schola, Salma in the restaurant and Respikius and Marko as the friendly security. The housekeeping even helped us celebrate our anniversary in style. Location is a 10/10."

Amaan Beach Bungalows
7.6 (41 reviews)

Amaan Beach Bungalows ★★★

📍 Beach, Nungwi

"The location was perfect, right on the beach. Unfortunately the room wasn't clean (cockroaches in the bathroom), so we had to check out after one night. The staff was nice and helpful."

Nungwi House
8.5 (17 reviews)

Nungwi House ★★★

📍 77FV+4CC, Zahanati Street, Unnamed Road, Nungwi

"The staff is courteous, wifi covers all rooms (when it works) and the location is great. But... The towels and sheets were constantly stained, made to change several times, the result never changed. The rooms are extremely minimal: for example there is only one "bedside table" for a double bed. Ditto for the light switches, they are only on one side. And you don't know where to put clothes or anything else. There isn't a mosquito net around the bed, and the fixtures aren't exactly mosquito-proof. There isn't a shelf in the shower to place shampoos or anything else. There are no covering curtains (in case the light in the early morning bothers you) The breakfast is mediocre and very simple: a plate of fruit, a juice of their choice, tea/coffee, slices of bread and eggs. The toilet was not fixed, so you have to be careful when sitting down 😅 They don't have a generator, so it happens that you are left without power (often not, sometimes for 10 minutes, sometimes for 3 hours)"

Double A Nungwi Beach Hotel
8.7 (77 reviews)

Double A Nungwi Beach Hotel ★★★★

📍 77FV+R69, Nungwi

"The hardware and service are satisfactory, close to the beach"

Turaco Nungwi Resort, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
8.7 (116 reviews)

Turaco Nungwi Resort, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel ★★★★

📍 77GW+72, Nungwi

"The location is absolutely fantastic. A beautiful beach stretches out right in front of the hotel. You can access the beach directly from the property, which means vendors frequently approach you, but there's security on site, so they aren't overly persistent and are kept from entering the hotel grounds."

Zanzigo Hotels in Nungwi

Zanzigo

"Here's a well-presented place, surrounded by greenery, with very young receptionists. We should stop here, at the entrance, at the first impression, because what can happen can truly ruin your stay. Let's start with the most serious issue, the one for which I strongly condemn this hotel: the incompetent manager, who wakes up tourists at night (it happened to several people on the same night, including me) with different excuses for each room he knocks on, to retrieve his luggage from under the bed. He keeps a lot of it, some heavy and locked, others half-broken, all under the bed (which is made of brick, so to uncover the luggage you have to lift the mattress; otherwise, it would be impossible to notice). And the same goes for every room. There would (perhaps) be nothing wrong if he didn't dream of waking you up when you're already asleep, because it's midnight and in Nungwi, after a dinner at the restaurant, there's nothing else to do in the evening. This episode left me with a sense of anguish and insecurity, immediately reminding me of the fact that there's no surveillance here, the gate is permanently open because it's broken, and we're inside the village, so potentially anyone can come in and knock, for example. Everything else is spotty: the water (don't imagine a shower that washes away the salt; maybe you'll sleep a night with that sea salt, and the next morning, if you don't report the water still being out, you can leave with that salt); communication due to the staff's modest or very shy English, which can lead to misunderstandings; the Wi-Fi connection, practically nonexistent (jokingly, this hotel boasts a fast connection!). And then the breakfast, which features eggs every morning, is a real test for your cholesterol and for anyone who, being vegan, lands here. If rest is a priority for you (or the connection, or whatever...), then forget about Zanzigo. Or consider it a suggestion: "go" away from here!"

Nungwi Beach Front

"Sure! Here's a short and polished hotel review based on your input: I had a wonderful stay! The rooms were exceptionally clean and felt very homely, which made the experience even more comfortable. The service was outstanding—Ismael and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Anna, the receptionist, was incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. Rosemary, the waitress, always served with a smile and provided excellent service. Truly a great experience overall!"

Smiles Beach Hotel ★★★★
"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!!!!"

My Blue Hotel Zanzibar ★★★★
"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."

"Really lovely, low key hotel. Clean and well maintained. Really good breakfast. The restaurant part across the road is particularly relaxing. Shame the local beaches aren’t a little cleaner in places"

Amaan Beach Bungalows ★★★
"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."
