Absolutely horrible place! SCAM The pictures you see on the booking websites have nothing to do with reality, the place doesn’t look like that anymore: the new owners left it rundown, shabby and dirty. The owners are on top lying about having two swimming pools in some reviews: not true. Also the yoga studio you see in the pictures: not existing. It’s a scam. The reality is sad: many shabby rooms and one disgusting communal bathroom with poor hygiene in an unkempt “garden”. The rooms are cramped and super hot, mosquitoes everywhere and mosquito nets have holes. The beds are super old and we got back pain. The electricity keeps coming and going and also a whole afternoon, there was no water, so we couldn’t take showers. Of course- this can happen. Especially if your place is in the middle of a slum (which this place is)- but then the owner should explain it nicely and apologise. Nothing like that: the Swedish owner just were unfriendly and gave us a bucket with water. No refund, no nice comment, nothing. Unacceptable. Also the location: it’s a bad area, not recommended for solo travelling women as many drunk local men hang out in front of the unlit front door and harass you with HEY BABY and much worse. As the doorbell of this place doesn’t work, we had to stand in front of the unlit entrance door hammering at the door and it was feeling really dangerous to have to bang for a long time at the door to be let in while this men were harassing us. Then don’t get a shower and go to your basement room to sleep in a really run down bed which makes so much noise that your friend wakes up all the time while your back hurts so much…nice holiday! And WELL, that’s nice for 50 euros a night! overpriced and bad. If this was a really cheap hostel, it would already be problematic but for this price, it’s really horrible, that was not feeling like a holiday, it felt like a prison. We had paid for several nights in advance unfortunately, but we left because we couldn’t take it anymore. Don’t go there!

Nice little place in the heart of Nungwi and only 5mins walk to the beach. I stayed in a private backpackers room, small but perfect for me despite having 2 suitcase full of stuff, still plenty of room to move around. Recently renovated and under new management, Sarah was a pleasure to meet. She has done the place proud, overall spacious grounds with good size pool and a lovely seating area. She was a great hostess, really helpful and very approachable. I stayed 16 nights and I couldn't fault the place one bit. Breakfast was hearty really sets you up for the day. Will defo be back soon.
