Sono stato truffato dal proprietrario, 145 euro. State alla larga. I was scammed by the owner, 145 euros. Stay away.

I (60 years old) lived in the guesthouse for 36 days. I felt very comfortable in the apartment with a sea view. The equipment is simple and sustainable. Juma and Santos were very hospitable, helpful and supported me on my activities across the island. The team is very well organized and friendly. Furthermore, I was provided with reliable motorcycle taxis, tours or on my own with contacts, advice and support, even when I was sick. This clean, cozy house with a beautiful garden, warm hosts, a friendly team and a natural, beautiful and typical ambience is recommended! Flashlight and a bit of leisure is required. It's a 20 minute rocky path through the village to the beautiful beach. However, always very, very entertaining. You can experience a lot here too. I would love to come back and can recommend the accommodation! "IT IS THE EYE WHICH HAS TRAVELLED THAT IS CLEVER"

“I had a nice and pleasant time”

unique, wild garden with palm trees, fantastic owner, always helpful and delicious breakfast

“Good quiet place for independent travelers”

I stayed here for 3 weeks. The place is a bit away from the touristy spots. But you can walk to them within 20-25 mins. It is quiet. Beautiful view from the 2nd floor terrace. Nice plants in the yard. The room is a good size with comfortable bed. The bathroom with the shower is big. When there's power outage you will only have the light in the room as it works from solar panels. There will be no electricity in the power sockets, so you won't be able to charge your electronics or use the kettle. Generally, I liked this place. And I'm glad we managed to find consent with Juma, the owner. Thank you, Juma! I recommend to come here if you're an independent traveler. And you're not looking for noisy touristy places. If you love nature and calm - you might like the place. The price/quality for Zanzibar is good to stay here! I would return again. And I will recommend it to my friends and acquaintances who will come to Zanzibar.

The staff is good.

“Best place to rest and recuperate and reflect”

Juma is a wonderful host. Any questions you have about the island, any tours you want to organize, places to eat and swim, all very helpful and with a great sense of humour. The top room has incredible views, and the breakfast is fantastic.

“Fantastic stay”

Kilimani house is a very special place , first the location , close to the beach around 10 minutes walk but just outside the main touristy area where it is too loud and busy. It was such a pleasure to walk back home from the beach and go through the local communities that are so nice and welcoming. Santos , the lovely owner does everything so you feel part of this magical house . Bedrooms are nice and with air … it is a lovely place and breakfassts are amazing so make sure to try them …. If you are looking for the true spirit of what a guesthouse is, this is the right place first you… I spent four nights there so I can really recommend it

“Amazing hosts and stunning view”

I felt at home in the beautifully styled African home - and I really enjoyed the hospitality from the family. They are friendly and caring. The view from my place was stunning - I watched the sunset from there several times. I was volunteer in School of Hope which was just a few minutes away. I liked to live in the village close to the locals and still have the comfort of my own place with bathroom. I have already booked my next stay there.

Santos and Juma gave me a very warm welcome. They really care about their guests. They gave me lots of advices and helped me a lot. The room was beautiful and comfy and I felt like home. Also the breakfast was delicious. Thank you so much for everything! I wish you all the very best!

Santos ( from Malaga) and Juma (Zanzibar) and her little son are so friendly. The house and garden very nice, outside touristic area, between the locals. Santos prepared the best breakfast from the island.

feeling at home. stay with locals and not tourists area.

wifi, quietness of the area

“Cheap and cheerful”

The ambiance and the nice couple whom run it.

“relaxing”

The accommodation is a beautiful little paradise perfect for relaxing. It is located about 10 minutes from the beach in a small village full of friendly people. In the kilimani house there are three large rooms which were all designed with love. Overall there is a cozy atmosphere that allows you to relax. It is easy to get into conversations with other guests, to walk to the tourist part of the beach but also reach the quieter part of the beach. You can find Local food on the main road but also reach the touristic restaurants by walk. The host family is super welcoming and can provide you with food and information. They know about tours, restaurants and everything else worth knowing. They also provide very tasty fresh breakfast in the accommodation itself on request. I planned to spend 2-3 days in Nungwi and ended up staying at kilimani house for 5 days, because I felt so comfortable at the house and the beach. I can fully recommend Nungwi in kilimani House.

“Would stay again”

They have solar panels to combat the frequent power outages of Tanzania. Quiet and peaceful in Nungwi. Tucked just far enough away from the chaos but not too far to be an effort. Really pleasant staff. Fan over the bed, pointing on you. needed in the heat!

I came home at night and a dog that i v never seen before came runing to me barking. I shouted nobody was seen. I made it to my room fearing the dog as he was not looking friendly and running free in the compound. I told it to the owner the next day, he said the watchman might have fall asleep and that he will take care of the problem. When i came out of my room after an hr, the owner has left! No explanations no nothing. I left the same day!

“Feels like home.”

Santos is a great host. You feels like home in Kilimani House. The room was very nice and the bed was very comftable. Everyrthing was good.

Amazing guesthouse in the middle of the local village, 10 minutes walking from the tourist area, with beautiful and clean rooms. The first floor room has excellent views and you can relax on the balcony like a boss, can't miss that! Santos is a real top host, super helpful, and she makes the best breakfast on the island, by far! We'll definitely come back next time we're on the island, this place is a must!
