Uhuru, the owner of this place, was very welcoming and any request was fulfilled within minutes. Bungalows are very clean, swimming pool as well. Lots and lots of space for chilling and relaxing with the view of the sea. Chefs were creating interesting and tasty dishes from Swahili kitchen. Staff was very friendly as well. This place is great for animal lovers as they have lots of cats, dogs and monkeys. Ahsante Sana!

Goede locatie aan het strand, zwembad met ligbedden en handdoeken, ruime schone kamer (we hadden een kamer aan het zwembad met zeer ruim balkon en meubels), prima ontbijt, goede maaltijden, vriendelijk personeel.

This is a lovely resort, right on the beach. The pool was clean and well kept and food of a good standard. Our stay was made even better as we were given a large house for our exclusive use, despite paying for a double room, but the standard chalet rooms were extremely comfortable.

Mysigt och enkelt boende direkt på stranden. Fantastisk god mat, jätteduktig kock. Personalen var jättetrevlig och hjälpsam. Bokade alla våra turer, transfer m m via dom till bra priser. Pga av tidvattnet så kunde vattnet vara "borta" större delen av dagen men då fanns ju poolen eller kunde man gå bort till Paje och bada. Vi hade en fantastisk tid på Mbuyuni men vill man ha mer party eller fler restaurang alternativ så ska man nog välja nåt annat.

Mbuyuni hotel is a small batch of bungalows in a very calm area. It is not luxury but it is not what you are looking for when you go there. The best is the ratio cost vs quality. Staff is friendly and helpfull. Advice: rent a bike to move.

Mbuyuni Beach was a very nice place to relax, enjoy the view and the beach. The lounge area was the highlight. In addition to the comfortable cushions to relax on, there were different activities including board games and pool that allowed the family to enjoy quality time together and enjoy the view.

Mbuyuni Beach Bungalows are right on the beach between Paje and Jambiani. You ideally need some transport if you are going to visit other areas of Zanzibar. The secluded location is perfect for a quiet week or two away and the staff are great. Friendly and attentive. No air con in the room but for the price I can't fault it.

If you want to get away from the big hotel complex and just relax and have a nice quiet time, this is the place! The staff are really kind and helpful in every way. The rooms are nice and clean and right on the beach. There is a huge difference between high and low water witch is no problem as long as you are aware of that you have to walk a while to swim. The food is very good and at a resonable price. We loved our 9 days here!

As a volunteer working with an NGO, I was seeking solitude and respite and not the typical "tourist - cram in so much as you can in a day" kind of vacation. Mbuyuni was exactly what I needed. The salt water pool is good for swimming when the tide is out. There was not a sign of sea urchins or jellyfish I have experienced on other trips to other beaches in Zanzibar. The white sands beach is great for relaxing and there are hammocks and chairs and other things you can lounge on. There were few hawkers or touts and I never felt hassled. The food was great for the price point and the menu changes every day You do have a long delay between ordering and receiving food but we just grabbed our mobile devices and took advantage of the free wifi while we waited. The portions are huge and the seafood is delicious. The staff was always friendly and available to answer any questions we had. The room was simple but everything worked and was clean and ready for us. I will definitely return for another stay next time I am in Zanzibar.

Veldig koselig liten, privat hotell. Hotellet har små hus langs stranden. I huset der vi bodde var det to store senger, stor bad med dusj og toalett. Vi var heldige med aircondition, men det er ingen kjøleskap. Vann og brus kjøpt i supermarked har vi pakket i vår bag og spurte om å ha det liggende i storhet kjøleskap i baren. Det var ingen problem:) Frokosten inneholdt en tallerken med frukt og deretter fikk vi servert en tallerk med pannekaker, ei brødskive og så får man velge mellom ulike type egg / omelett. Kaffe, te og fantastisk fersk marakuja jus. Vi hadde flere middager på hotellet og det kan vi anbefale. Kokken var god. Det var rent på rommet. Liten basseng, men var mer enn nok for gjestene. Beliggenheten var midt i blinken , da det var en veldig rolig sted. På stranden var det en del steng, men å bevege seg mot Paji er det helt kritthvite strender og havet er bare fantastisk. Veldig rolige omgivelser uten masse turister på akkurat dette området. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake:)

We had a pleasant stay at a white sandy beach in a quite region between Paje and Jambiani. The hotel offered excellent meals in a daily changing variation. We loved the nice stile of the bungalows with the relaxing leisure areas with the views to the different blue colour sea and the possibilities of nice long walks at the white sandy beaches. Our 12 nights on Zanzibar in this hotel were very relaxing after visiting Tanzania and Uganda.

Funky, low key beach resort near Jambiani. We saw several rooms, and all were very clean, although somewhat basic in terms of in-room amenities. Most have a large furnished private deck. The grounds and pool were very well-maintained. The atmosphere is very informal with lots of cool and cozy spots to relax along the beach in hammocks, lounge chairs and bed swings. The only downside is that the ocean's not ideal for swimming due to exposed rocky areas at low tide. But the pool is great! The food in the restaurant was excellent, and there are other resort restaurants within easy walking distance.

Mycket bra valuta för pengarna men det är långt till allt och du är i stort sett tvungen att äta på hotellets egen restaurang, vilken varierar stort i kvalité - vissa rätter var fantastiska, andra rent usla. Som andra också skriver, kass frukost. Stranden är även den inte den bästa, mycket bråte i form av sjögräs å dyl. Samt massa vass sten. Stor skillnad på ebb och flod. Med andra ord, är stranden viktig för er, ta ett annat hotell uppe i Paje. Rummen däremot fina, takfläkt och veranda/balkong. Vi hade två olika bungalows, fick byta då vi delade den ena med råttor - vilket personalen iofs tog itu med så fort det gick, så ja skulle inte va orolig att boka för den sakens skull. Trevlig personal, väldigt goda utrymmen för avkoppling, både kring pool och beachside. Wifi och safety deposit i restaurang/reception. Kort sagt, ett bra hotell för bra peng om ni inte är rädda för att gå en bit till de riktigt fina stränderna eller andra restauranger/affärer.
