    We came in low season and there were barely any staff there. When we arrived, we searched for a while before we found a staff member who checked us in. Also they locked the hotel gates so we could not get in when we came back at 11pm. Had to call the hotel number on a local line to get someone to come open it for us. I thought we were going to have to climb the fence!

    Very close to beach, only a one minute walk. Loved the room and the beds were super comfortable. AC worked great. Staff were nice and breakfast was good.

    We have stayed here 6 nights. Bagamoyo has a beautiful garden and clean airconditioned rooms just a few steps from the beach. The area is quiet and calm. The rooms are simple but have everything you need. The stuff is kind and helpful.

    We have just stayed for 3 weeks in the excellent Bagamoyo spice villa in beautiful Zanzibar. It has a beautiful garden and clean airconditioned rooms. Thank you so much for looking after us! Mr Square gave excellent guest attention. Massive thank you to the restaurant staff Islam and Esta who provided everything with a smile and really made it a home from home. Breakfasts were plenty of fruit with toast, crepes, juice and fresh cooked eggs however we liked them including Spanish omelette. Dinner in the restaurant was plentiful with lots of choice. When we went on trips breakfast was provided early. The room had 2 double beds, aircon, fan, walk in shower, fridge and kettle. The beach was less than a minute walk from the gate. We has excellent trips to Stonetown, the blue lagoon, Nacupenda sandbank and snorkelled at Mnemba and Tumbatu islands seeing dolphins jumping next to the boat. On the day trips we had a lobster, seafood, chips and fruit lunch. For trips I would highly recommend Nassor (+255 777 380 255) from the Union building on the nearest beach. He always made sure we were looked after and if we went in a taxi without him he would meet us at the hotel to show us the taxi and meet us again when we arrived back to make sure the trip was good. If you like good coffee Victoria has a great coffee shop 1 min walk towards the square. And we would highly recommend the Blue Sea restaurant on the beach - great for sunsets and fabulous food! We found Zanzibar very safe (violent crime is virtually unheard of even in Stonetown) and the people very friendly and passionate about their beautiful island. The Tanzanian and Masai traders/always had time to chat as well as sell souvenirs. They loved hearing about snow! Please respect the locals tradition and support their trade - there are many bargains to be found with a bit of friendly negotiation. No one ever seems to get upset and the sayings Hakuna Matata and pole pole (slowly, slowly) aptly describe the vibe here.

    I think the hotel could be upgraded at very little cost. Better curtains for sure and either some pictures on the walls or murals painted. All these things are readily available to you in the village.

    The breakfast was very good. I only had one other meal at the hotel but it was good and good value. I was very happy that the hotel changed my room because the bathroom was not suitable for me but the bed in the second room was not comfortable.

    Everything ideal.

    Very close to beach, big spacious grounds with trees and green, and very quiet. Nungwi is a dense village, with people on top of one another, and lots of big crowded hotels. I was surprised to find such green oasis of peace so close to the beach for a price of budget hotel. Wanted to book my next stay there. Sadly it was already fully booked. Obviously. Very good breakfast served nicely in the garden, plentiful, well presented and delicious

    The bed is too small, I'm 1.87 m tall and my feet were sticking out of the bed. The shower water is boiling hot and dangerous, and takes several minutes to reach the right temperature.

    Location close to the beach and restaurants, friendly staff, fresh fruit juice at breakfast. External foot-washing shower at the entrance to the room..

    Water pressure could have been better, but it is a minor inconvenience. More lights would have been nice.

    Good location. Nice and helpful staff, always with a smile. The fridge and the kettle were super helpful. We liked tbe the foot washer, it helped to keep the room cleaner. We liked to relax on the balcony. The garden was nice and well kept, we particularly liked the breakfast area. You could choose the type of egg you want, have fruits and pancake, toast bread, coffee and tea. 2 mins from the ocean, easy to reach multiple beaches and restaurants. Taxis amd shops nearby. Try Fresh Corner for a non-instant coffee in Nungwi. You feel safe in this fenced off paradise garden. Overall a very good value for money!

    Most of the time the internet didn't work in our room but it was ok in the common areas

    The room and toilet were big, airy and bright with a balcony. It looks like a village surrounded by nature, which is wonderful to rest during the day. It is 2 minutes walking from the beach and it feels safe.
