Worst lodge EVER !!!!😡

The worat lodge in hhe entire. Filthy and is a health hazard. The management is extremely corrupt.. Fully aware of the dilapidated facity. My kids and myself could not saty due to very poor sanitation. Where I request of my US$497.00 neither vould not be refunded 50% . Inspite no service was provided. The management is infested with corruption and thievery. These peeople ripped me off $497.00

Excellent and relaxing stay

The property has a beautiful tropical garden and large pool area. The rooms are spacious and also good for families and kids. The food is delicious and the staff very polite. A few minutes walking there’s a nice white sand beach where you can swim. You can also arrange trips around the island.

Decent stay with a great location and helpful staff, but noise levels were a big drawback.

The location is good — only about a 5-minute walk to a nice beach. The staff were very helpful and accommodating, and the small pool was a pleasant bonus.

Great place to relax.

The breakfast was great, I practically did not feel hungry all day after that. No frills, simple but delicious. The place has a relaxed vibe (especially after a busy week in Dar es Saleem. The tide is relatively high, not the best for swimming, but there are opportunities to explore by boat. The dolphin tour was fógreat. If you rent a car, it's a good location to explore the southern part of the island.

Highly recommended!

Maggy was just amazing how she received me! Nice serene and chilled place. Staff is super friendly. Room was impeccable and had all the comforts one needs. Quiet area with a nice breeze at night entering the room keeping it fresh. The dogs and cats are well behaved and friendly.

A beautiful gem for a tranquility and peace.

I seriously loved everything about this place. The owner and staff are so sweet. The atmosphere is nice, loving and peaceful. I found it to be a simple, beautiful and inspirering place. And the garden and pool area invites you to relax and feel at home. On top of that, just 2 min. walk, you have one of the most secluded beaches I have found on this Island, with rocks, local atmosphere, good snorkeling and beautiful sunset views. I recommend to stay at least 5 days here - to really unwind and let that Polle-Polle feeling settle into every cell of your body. This is one of the hard-to-find-gems on the Island. Thank you Giudi and Maggie 🫶
