This establishment is wonderful! Firstly it has a quirky and beautiful garden which is tended every day with 3 separate but contained areas with their own beautiful pool. The bar area is surrounded by super comfy mini " day bandas" for relaxation. Different levels of accommodation give you good choices. The atmosphere is totally Zanzibarian, and very calm but super friendly.You may make new friends very easily or remain totally private to your liking.Lively and talented musicians play some nights except during Ramadan.The bar and service staff are super! The menu features either Spanish Tapas, traditional Zanzi food and a delicious mixture of either seafood or Veggie and Vegan options. All delicious!. Breakfast is a standard buffet with eggs to order. It is 200m close to a small shopping area and pharmacy. Taxis and bodabodas are easily available outside. The best are the owners/ operators / and managers Paco and Maria who tirelessly make sure everything is perfect. They are really lovely people.We stayed for some weeks but it is the perfect place to base yourself for all the activity around Matemwe. Fully recommended from us as well experienced tourism professionals.

We had a great stay. The entire property is so lush, green and jungely. A true oasis and very well arranged. It is a large ptopery, but thanks to the different areas it doesn’t feel large. Our room was spacious, beds comfy. The fan was sufficient for the nights. Bathroom was small, but sufficient and clean. Wifi was not great in the room, but outside it was well working. The pools are a great plus in the heat of Zanzibar. The breakfast was a bit underwhelming, but there were not so many guests. Staff is friendly. You walk around 15 mins to the beach or local restaurants.

My daughter and I stayed here for a week in September. Maria and Paco went out of their way to make our holiday such a special time. They were so helpful with day trips and giving us so many helpful ideas. The staff are all wonderful and so friendly. Mohammad and Mona took us to visit their village and Spice Farm. We went on the dala dala and back by motorbike. We had a great snorkeling trip with Juma and on another evening he took us to visit Matemwe village. Freddie the Gardner always made me smile. Salma and Maria gave us the most wonderful massage. Salama Mbuyuni bungalows is simply a fabulous special magical place and does not compare to anywhere else I have ever stayed.

What a place. I absolutely loved it here. I also loved all the people. All the staff are so friendly and chatted. They are very helpful and made are stay warm and welcoming. Paco is a diamond. Great company, works very hard and has built what I can only describe as paradise. The place is great value for money. All the food and drink is very reasonable. It’s about a 5 minute walk to Matamwe beach, where you can find alternative restaurants if you want to.

Salama is a quaint and beautifully done up bungalow an a 10 minute walk from the beach. The staff here is extremely warm and friendly and makes you feel at home. The owners are welcoming and very helpful as well and make sure that you have a very comfortable stay. The restaurant in the bungalow has beautiful ambience and decor and serves delicious food at very economical prices. I stayed here for a short period of 2.5 days but thoroughly enjoyed it. You can also request for a taxi from the airport in advance and the owners arrange for it so that he can be easily picked up from the airport. If you're looking to go deep sea diving, this is near near to a few of the deep sea diving places.
