After a month of traveling around Africa, this place was our home away from home for two weeks. For an affordable price, we got everything we needed and more. Juma, the receptionist, always greeted us with a smile on his face and was happy to assist with anything we needed in and outside of the hotel. Augustino, the manager, is practically a local and helped us plan our itinerary throughout our stay. Rooms were cleaned and tidied every morning, and laundry services and a restaurant were provided in the hotel. Pool was perfect temperature, and we could even swim at night thanks to beautiful pool lights. The location is a 5 minute walk from the beautiful Nungwi beach, and right next to the local "Cocobello" club. Miti is beautiful, quiet, and intimate, and we are already planning our next trip!

    Nadya is great host who gave some really awesome recommendations (from restaurants to going to a secret sand bank), and all of them were top rated. MaNa is a super quiet place, just 2 mins walk from the beach, and about 15 mins walk (on the beach) from the busy part of Nungwi beach. Great food options everywhere nearby. And the place is super clean, lots of care gone into it.

    charming, quiet villa on the east side of Nungwi. with a large garden and a space with a pool table. Very nice for those who want seek a location in Nungwi and still very close to the beach. I rented the room with private bathroom which is very spacious as well as the bathroom. The breakfast is local and includes fruits, chapati, eggs, coffee and tea. Mike the host is very accommodating. But the most interesting point remains the unbeatable value for money on Nungwi.

    I enjoyed my stay very much ❤️ the accomodation is just in perfect location! It is in the middle of Nungwi, so you can go more on west to enjoy more turistic but beautiful beaches, or more on east for more calm, local beach experience. Or you can just swim on the beach which is like 3 minutes from guest house 🙂 It is in very calm area, no noise from Nungwi parties 🙏 and Kosta is just great host! Easy to talk and he cares for his guests very much! Hakuna matata! 🙂 During my stay I felt like a family member ☺️ Thank you once again! ❤️

    This place is a few steps away from the best beach in Zanzibar. Perfect location for a place that's not a beachfront. It is also located right next to the city center so there are restaurants, mini markets, bars and other shops everywhere within walking distance. Great hosts
