Travelers who stayed in Mafia Island near Mafia Airport (MFA) have said good things about Mafia Dream Hotel, Maisara Mafia Beach Lodge, and Juani beach bungalows.
We did whale shark diving with Afro Whale Shark Safari, and organized trips to Juni Island and Kua ruins through Mohammed from tourmafiaisland.com. He was friendly and well informed. There is so much to explore on Mafia island, but it is trickier to stay in killindoni & organize tours from there all most are arranged through the lodges at chole bay. However we had a great stay and experience! Amazing beaches, sunsets, walks, forests!
Mafia Island is unspoilt and filled with friendly people! Great for scuba diving and enjoying the Indian Ocean
This is mostly a dive area, though the resorts are happy to help you book snorkeling tours and trips to other areas. The small village has very few amenities and is definitely not a party town, but the beachfront is a great place to relax with a book after diving or swimming. Some resorts offer paddle boards and bikes (ask at Mafia Island Lodge). Waves restaurant is right on the beach and offers a few really good plates for 15,000-20,000 TZS. Be prepared to order ahead (early afternoon for dinner) at any of the dive resorts and 1-2 hours ahead for any other place besides the few ready-made restaurants in the village or at the roundabout at the end of the road that offer rice, beans and fish or samosas. Also remember that you will pay around $24 (including tax) for any night spent in the marine park that starts at the beginning of town.

Meremeta, the founder and owner, as well as his staff are exceptional. You will find big, very clean and comfortable rooms, as well as great food with local prising. Furthermore Meremeta will be making sure you discover the island and miss no possible activities (if you want, he doesn't try to persuade you, no worries). It's by far the best acommodation you're going to have at Mafia Island! We travelled through Tanzania for over a month and we never felt this welcomed and appreciated as with Meremeta.
It is a new hotel, but the best one that we went to in tanzania. The staff is lovely and helped us out werever they could. Would definitly go back if we are at mafia island in the future.
Location is right by the sea. Cabins with aircon and warm shower. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The place feels like a harmonic community.
Nice and relaxing environment. Very clean, well maintained and very helpfull staff.
