After a week of safari in mainland, we were dleighted to rest in such a great place. The team had been very welcoming and always available. The Chef has developped a tasty menu - always fresh products for good value. Our kids were taught how to play local games while we had a relaxing time enjoying Julia’s massage or discussing with the team. We all enjoyed walking along the peaceful and beautiful beach only 10 minutes walk from the busy Jambiani where you can find bars if you’re looking for a fun night. We were only one hour away from the Stone Town or the North beach where you swam with dolphins. The whole team, includinf the kitesurf instructoe, has been very friendly and helpful. Our kids loved it here!

The staff were friendly but the accommodation was very poor. We had a lodge facing the beach and while we didn’t expect luxury, we did expect it to be reasonable. Our main problem was that it was impossible to sleep because: 1. The bed was hard frame and protruded from the mattress so I was unable to get into it without first standing on a chair or stepping onto the chair to get out of it. I am of reasonable height. 2. The ceiling fan and air conditioning were old and exceptionally noisy … it was impossible to sleep with either one or both of them turned on. Consequently, it was very hot at night. 3. A light at the edge of the private beach was turned on at night and faced our lodge, shining into our room and keeping it light all night. There was no blind to pull at the window to block out the light. The bathroom was basic and very old and worn. The food was OK but very limited choice. The beach is a public beach so there are many people walking up and down selling various things. The sea is beautifully warm but you have to be careful because there are many people wind surfing or learning how to windsurf and you need to be able to avoid them. We did not go into the pool as I wasn’t entirely sure how clean it would be given the standard of our room. It’s a shame the hotel seems to have deteriorated so much as I imagine it could have been lovely once but I definitely would not recommend it now.

Just the right place if you want total relaxation and connect with nature as the property is surround by trees and beautiful coastline. True to the name, the sand is white and no stones. We were upgraded as our room AC unfortunately developed a problem. The manager Mr. Sourav made sure our stay was very comfortable. The Chef went out of his way to make sure we had nice seafood cuisine. Kudos to Mr. Sourav, Chef and the entire team!! The pool and it's surrounding environment which is also covered by trees giving you the feeling of being in the forest was amazing. On the flip side, the rooms should be fitted with glass windows so that the room gets cooled with AC. A place I will recommend.

Our stay at Hakuna Majiwe was amazing. The location is great, close to Paje center, yet far enough to have a quiet time, surounded by beautiful nature. The crown jewel of this hotel are it`s employees. They made sure that we had everything we needed and they made us fall in love with the kindness of swahili people. Chef Chedrak and David`s food was amazing and they made sure that we love the dishes every day and that we do not leave hungry. The food at the restaurant was such good quality, that we couldn`t get ourselves to eat someplace else the whole stay. The yard was always clean and well kept and we even saw monkeys in front of our room. The only thing that wasn`t 5/5 were the rooms. They cleaned everyday, but some elements were just old and deteriorated, like the bed canopy or the bathroom faucets. All in all, we had a great vacation, the employees and chefs were great and we left with a good impression, willing to come back.

Staying at Hakuna Majiwe felt like finding a hidden slice of paradise, a real good value for money. It was made even more special by the incredible team that runs the place. I came here with my parents and my sister this summer, end of July approx. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine care that it felt like coming home. The staff here aren’t just doing their jobs—they’re truly passionate about making your stay unforgettable. Every interaction, from the friendly greetings in the morning to the thoughtful touches throughout the day, showed how much they genuinely care about their guests' experience. They cared a lot, helping with the suitcases, bringing the food to the room (room service), showing a service and type of staff seen nowhere but as in Hakuna Majiwe. What really stood out to me, though, was the food. Breakfast had a variety in worldwide and local food, which is thanked to try the flavors from Zanzibar. Every meal was a treat, bursting with fresh, local flavors, they tasted amazing, hats off to the chef, who even asked us if everything was good! The chefs clearly put their heart into every meal, and it shows. If we had to mention a downside, we would say that, as we kind of came in a time in which there were no guests, we missed a bit more of activity, animation at the hotel… Though, some new guests came the last 2 days we had there. Hakuna Majiwe isn’t just a hotel; it’s a place where you feel truly looked after, where every detail is taken care of so you can fully relax and enjoy your surroundings. The amazing staff, food and decoration made my stay here something I’ll always remember fondly! Thanks!!

This lodge was a pleasant surprise! We had to change our trip plans at the last minute. We just needed to book a room for our last night. The rumors of loud partying in this region had kept us away. The Hakuna Majiwe was delightful! The property was huge and beautiful! Monkeys cavorted in the many trees on the vast property. It was quiet, private and relaxing. The pool is huge and on a beautiful natural setting. The manager helped us with our travel needs which we greatly appreciated!

The property is excellent for a peaceful stay. Nice and clean accomodation .Service oriented, friendly and helpful staffs. The beach is clean and ideal for kite surfing provided by the lodge. Though the restaurant was destroyed in recent cyclone and is being rebuilt up , the other facilities are reasonably good.
