Mawimbi Bungalows

Had a wonderful experience at this property! Carla this host she is a very wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly lady ensuring you are well taken care of, the Bungalows themselves are very pretty and have the local touch, nice pool and well decorated surroundings, breakfast had nice options with rotating items on a daily basis, staff were very pleasant and helpful, the property is located in a very good area only 5 minutes walk to the main beach of Nungwi with a lot of restaurants and bars within close proximity. Overall a great time highly recommend!

We’re looking for somewhere relaxing with a good breakfast, easy access to the beach, and a nice pool to enjoy during our stay. A peaceful location with clean, comfortable accommodation.

We had the absolute best stay here! It offers the perfect balance: a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, right next to everything Nungwi has to offer. Lovely bungalows set inside a stunning, tranquil garden. The yoga classes offered on-site were fantastic! Location Unbeatable. Just 5 minutes on foot to the beach, local markets, delicious restaurants, and the lively spots famous for beautiful Nungwi sunsets. ​Carla, the owner, is wonderful! She went above and beyond, offering tons of super helpful advice and recommendations that made our stay extra special. ​Highly recommend to anyone visiting Zanzibar!

Nothing we didn't like

Great location, a lovely outside area and very good breakfast

There were a few things that made our stay less comfortable than expected. Not all of the windows had glass, which meant that there was quite a bit of outside noise. There was also no air conditioning, only fans, which may be worth considering depending on the season. Our room was located next to the septic tank, and occasionally there was an unpleasant smell. The room itself had the basic amenities, but nothing beyond that. We also asked if it would be possible to shorten our stay, but unfortunately the host was not able to accommodate our request. Overall, the stay had some positive aspects, but there were a few areas that could be improved.
