“Paradise in Bwejuu Zanzibar”
I love this place been here for the second time and can’t find any reason to try something else. It’s a calm place close to the beach included in the village Bwejuu. It’s really genuin, they have natural and excellent food from there own garden. The design are simple but artistic and the host is so nice and gave us excellent tips when you go budget.

“A good place to start your travels in Tanzania.”
We started our Holiday here at Mamarasta and could not have wished a better place. Lovely breakfast and also Mamarasta and Combo is very helpful with everything from buying SIM-card to arranging good (and fair priced!) tours. We had a room with a small balcony and enjoyed that a lot in the evenings.

“Amazing stay ♥️”
Everything! The property is managed by fantastic people ♥️ very friendly and helpful at every stage of our travel. We loved these calm evenings with talks with the owners. The place is super close to the beautiful beach, we had amazing breakfast every day with fresh fruits. The owners helped us to organise every trip and recommended a very nice tuk-tuk driver . We enjoyed every moment spent there. I recommend this place and wish to be back there one day! Thank you for our stay ♥️

Mamarasta was an absolutely wonderful place to stay! The atmosphere,the food, and the staff ware all Amazing and so kind. The other guests who stayed there were also incredibly charming and lovely people. Although I only stayed for two days , the time I spent on Zanzíbar Island and at this guesthouse was truly a happy and memorable experience for me. Even though my English wasn’t perfect , everyone was patient and took the time to listen to me. Thank you so much everything!

This place is an oasis full of very beautiful art and small well placed details. Just a short stroll from a nice local beach. The room is spacious, and there are nice hangout areas with hammocks. Mamarasta & Combo took very good care of us both as we were in a very bad flu during our stay there.

“Relaxed life”
The place felt immediately safe and like home. Deco, garden and food was perfect. Very clean. Owners are very heartful people and are always ready to help. I would come back any time. Bjewuu is good spot for peaceful beach life and also near from Paje, where there is more services.

“We couldn‘t ask for better! :)”
We planned to stay one night at Mamarasta, but we ended up to stay 3. Really nice and welcoming people, they gave us many tips during this time. Bwejuu is a calm village, authentic and far away from tourist crowds. From there we could also easily reach other nice places on the east coast. Totally reccomended! :)

Mamarastas Hostel is a hidden gem! It’s quiet, beautifully designed, and surrounded by nature. Just a 5-minute walk from the beach, it offers the perfect blend of relaxation and convenience. The food and drinks are top-notch, and the breakfast is simply amazing. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway!

Mamarastas place is just a little paradies. Plants, hammock, fireplace, places to relax. Mamarasta was very welcoming me and showed me around the island and gave me many advices. The breakfast was always fresh and very nice. One of the best things was the quiet and peaceful beach. This is a awesome place for coming down and enjoying the beauty of Zanzibar. Can’t wait to come back!

“Overall, I think we couldn't find a better place for our Zanzibar adventure”
We stayed at this truly hidden gem african accommodation during winter holydays for 16 nights. The place is recently opened and the host is originary from Europe so expect the european cleanness standards. The place is very nice decorated in the african style. The garden is big with enough resting zones. The place is situated only a few minutes walk to the beach and just a few minutes to the main road. Breakfast was delicious with fresh juices, tea, coffee, local fruits and tasty pastry. Mama Enza makes such a good team with her partner, Kombo which is a local of Zanzibar. It is wise to have a friend which is a local when you are in Africa. He knows many helpful infos about Zanzibar and he can guide you around the island. He is also a good cooker so you can have local dishes freshly prepared. Both are very helpful and friendly. Overall, I think we couldn't find a better place for our Zanzibar adventure, taking into consideration value for money, position on the island, hospitality.

“An oasis of peace and tranquility”
There's so much to love about this little paradise. Mamarasta and Combo are the best hosts I've ever had. The place is so peaceful and calming, the rooms are spacious, and the garden is gorgeous. There's a lot of creativity in the house decor. Everything about the place made me feel at home, and I had everything I needed. Wi-Fi works great. The location was great, and easy to get around, with a beautiful beach just a stone's throw away, a main road with mini shops, and a gym/yoga center close by. Also, the food was delicious! Everything about my stay was amazing and I'd go back again in a heartbeat!
