“Excellent location”
Location, paradisiac beach nearby, staff attention to detail (shout out to Mr. Kitwana who helped us and exceeded expectations in terms of what we needed at any time of the day - Asante Sana). Cleanliness. Felt welcome and living our 4 fantastic days in Michamvi staying at this small hidden- gem oasis within a short walk from the beach. After a short walk you get to an almost private pool like beach which is quiet, turquoise waters. Amazing views for sunsets and the exclusiveness of the luxury hotels nearby (paying quarter of the value). Breakfast is served at your door and is very good too. Great value for money!

Quiet place near to the beach. The best part was the attention to detail and the help from Mr. Kitwana.

The host was very kind and helpful; he answered all of our questions (and we had a lot of them)! The breakfast was delicious, the place was always clean, and the location was perfect - just one minute from the most beautiful sunset beach on the entire island.

“Lovelly stayy”
The property was spacious, very clean, and felt comfortable and safe with daily cleaning and mosquito repellent spraying provided. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming; Isaac regularly checked in and was always available to assist with any requests, including arranging a boda boda driver for us. The location is convenient with many restaurants close by, though withdrawing cash requires travelling a little further. Overall, a wonderful and relaxed stay with excellent hospitality.

“Great accomodation and very priseworthy”
It was a lovely little bungalow with a private terasse where we could enjoy our breakfast. The people were nice and the service was great, we were able to check in early, leave our bags after check out and even use the bathroom of the room after checkout. They also got us a taxi for the next place. We had a great stay❤️

Karanga Bungalow is an excellent place to stay, offering fantastic value for the money. The rooms are clean with a fresh interior that feels both cozy and inviting. The beds are comfortable, and the breakfast is great. The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff always ready to assist. The location is ideal, just a short walk to the beach area, making it convenient to enjoy the sun and sea. Karanga Bungalow is perfect for those looking for an affordable yet high-quality stay near the beach. Highly recommended!

“Hidden and so lovely spot”
What a lovely stay we had in Karanga Bungalows We loved the place so much that we extended twice It's far from the crowds and so relaxing, you can reach the beach after 5mins walk The owner is so kind, helped us with everything, breakfast is simple but has all you need and is served directly onto your veranda. The room is so big and was lovely decorated with flowers. Has also a mosquito net. The bed is the most comfortable one we had in Zanzibar. There are a lot of mosquitos, so bring repellant.

“Brilliant stay for bargain price”
This was a bargain stay. The bed was comfortable and even though there is no aircon, the fan was sufficient for night time sleeping. The area is very quaint and local. We ate at the little restaurant and walked to the beach and the famous beach bar. Staff were attentive.

The host was really nice and helpful, he even helped us book some boat tours. The room looked very nice and new. The beach is really close, and it's very nice, altough when the tide is low, you can't really swim.
