It was remote, far away from everything - that‘s what I like. I like the idea of being Eco: no plastic, waterless toilets etc. Very good!

“Just Fantastic!”

Just Fantastic!

At first, we were a little disappointed by the dated simplicity and lack of style, the energy-saving lights with their harsh white glow, and the plastic washed up on the beach. However, we decided to stay and didn't regret it. The secluded, wonderful beach and Omar's personal and warm hospitality are unforgettable. We were treated to delicious meals and even had candlelight at our request. Omar was very empathetic and able to respond to our criticisms and special requests. We embraced a few days of genuine African hospitality. We met locals who came daily to collect shells and fish. Instead of just loitering on the beach and complaining, we started collecting the plastic waste that washed up every day, with visible success. Eventually, even the village children helped us. The residents of this paradise are completely overwhelmed by the waste problem, ignoring, burying, or burning this foreign garbage as a makeshift solution. Neither the authorities nor the owners of Pemba Lodge seem to be offering any solutions. Furthermore, there are concerns that if the trash were collected regularly, it would simply end up back in the ocean. Perhaps our initiative will inspire others, perhaps the local population will develop a greater awareness over time, and perhaps Adam, the manager on site, could organize trash collection days in conjunction with the local school, thereby raising awareness of this issue. Small, rewarding gestures could help win people over.

We had a great stay at the eco lodge. Everyone was very nice and the lodge realy feels a bit like paradise on a remote island. Pick up and drop off by boat were smooth. It is best to arrive and leave at day time during high tide, which allows for landing on the beach by the lodge. The food was extraordinary. We had lunch and dinner every day, never the same food twice. For a few days you can do nice activities like snorkeling, kayaking and walks arround the island. We can only recommend going there.

“Outstanding and very good value for the money.”

Beautiful and very relaxing. Extremely good value for money and especially in Pemba. Very friendly and service oriented staff. Thanks Omar

“A week in paradise!”

Location is simply stunning - and beautifully quiet. Nature at its very best. The lodges were very simple and perfect for the location. We were supremely well looked after by Adam and his team. The food was all local, fresh and beautifully cooked. Pemba Lodge really is one of a kind if you are looking for a simple, natural getaway. A truly amazing place!

Thank you so much for all. This place is a heaven on earth!

I have now been to Misali sunset beach hotel and pemba paradise, for me the eco lodge was the best experience. So authentic!!! The location is perfect for a exploring getaway! Friendly staff. Not crowded at all, at one of our nights we were the only guests at the resort. The beaches are so prestine and beautiful! Snorkeling and turtle aquarium I recommend! Food is excellent, super fresh tuna! The best I have ever tasted!!

everything, especially omar made our trip very easy and comfortable.

amazing stay, omar made our kitesurf trip even more special. Thank you so muchmuch for we will definitely come back

“Un desastre”

We reserved by Booking and then we exchanged some messages to access the hotel (by private boat), it was only when we were at the hotel almost with the sun down, that they told us that we had only paid for two people for one night. If we wanted to stay the night, we had to double the price and they kicked us out the next day, even if we had two nights reserved and even if Booking sent un email insisting in our rights. They refused to get in contact with Booking saying it was our obligation to contact them. The managers treated us really badly, we were defenseless. Even for this review, they told us they would delete it.

The perfect place to relax in nature

“Peaceful”

Beautiful location, stunning. Kayaking was a great experience.

Amazing food, friendly and helpful staff, beach in front of the rooms.

Staff friendliness and location were both incredible. The experience was overall an unforgettable one, being at a completely secluded paradise island. The staff would always try to accommodate any requests. Room has impeccable views.

“Beautiful, magical location if you are fine NOT swimming.”

The food was excellent, even for us vegans! The location was very out of the way and tranquil; there was a couple of trails to walk but, for the most part, there was little else to do as the water out to the reef, which was very far, was too shallow for swimming or snorkeling. Also, the scuba diving was very far, so this is the perfect place to just veg and relax!

“I only recommend for nature.”

nature was great

really private with beautiful hidden beaches
