Great relaxing stay!

Staff, pool and our room were fantastic. Our host was very knowledgeable and even took the time to take us out personally to a beach party All the staff were friendly and helpful The pool was very relaxing Very close to some fantastic restaurants and beaches Our room was very comfortable Our host explained that there are power cuts every day administered by the government. However this didn’t affect our stay at all. Fantastic accommodation! Will definitely be back in the future!

It was serene, relaxing and the hostess, Carla and her staff , were attentive and welcoming

The general breakfast and spread was good; the grilled tomatoes were done beautifully always. The bungalows are well cocooned away from the bustle of the touristy activities and a great retreat at the end of a busy day.We would visit again.

Homely

Our stay at this accommodation was overall pleasant and had a very homely atmosphere. The place is surrounded by lots of beautiful plants, which gives it a calm and welcoming feel. The owner was absolutely lovely—very friendly, welcoming, and took the time to explain everything clearly when we arrived. The staff were also polite and helpful, and the whole area was kept tidy and well maintained. The location is another big plus, as it’s quite close to the beach, making it very convenient for morning or evening walks.

The location is fantastic, a short walk from the beach but just nice enough away to be out of the business of it. The staff here are incredible, so friendly, helpful and personable. The room was amazing abs cleaners were brilliant! The pool was lovely aswell!

Acceptable option in Nungwi

Location and decoration of the place. It seems that you are in the middle of nature. Good hot water pressure and clean room. They fill you up bottle of still water everyday. Masai Pedro the best one!!!

The property is amazing and very beautiful. They have some nature around and the houses or bungalows have an African style. The breakfast was very good and staff was nice and welcoming. The closest beach is a 5-minute walk and is very beautiful. The colour of the sea is amazing! The place we stayed was large and the bedrooms were very beautiful. They also have a nice pool. They have a place to park the car inside the property and Masais work there as doormen.

Amazing stay in Mawimbi

The stay in Mawimbi was amazing. We had everything what we needed at the property. The room was cleaned every day, the breakfast was great and overall the atmosphere was amazing. Close to the beach and near by to the local shops. Host Carla greeted us when we arrived and was always avaiable. We felt like at home. Thank you very much for having us!

We had a short and delightful stay at Mawimbi Bungalows.

My friend and I had a delightful 3-night stay at Mawimbi Bungalows. From the moment we arrived, Carla, the owner, made us feel incredibly welcome—a perfect introduction to the charm of Zanzibar. The property itself was a lush, green oasis, providing a cool and cosy atmosphere. Our bungalow was spotless, with comfortable beds and a shower that provided hot water, ensuring a comfortable stay. The breakfast was delicious, and the friendly, attentive staff went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The location was ideal, with the beach just a 5-minute walk away. It felt safe and secure for us as two women to explore, adding to the overall sense of relaxation and enjoyment. I highly recommend Mawimbi Bungalows for anyone looking for a serene, welcoming, and conveniently located place to stay in Zanzibar.
