“Amazing. Will come back!!”

We had a wonderful stay at the Max Hotel in Nungwi. The location is ideal, a 3-5 minute walk from the beach. Restaurants and a shopping street for souvenirs were also within walking distance, and there's an ATM at the end of the street. Prices are generally in dollars, so exchange your money for dollars or shillings. You could also pay contactless with a credit card at almost every restaurant. The hotel is located on a somewhat dimly lit street, but it wasn't bothersome. Around the corner was a restaurant that was open late and lit up the street. The rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast was included, but we were always late for it because we slept until 11:00, haha. We only had one issue with the air conditioning leaking, but that was fixed within 2 minutes, and the water on the floor was cleaned up immediately! The toilet also stopped working at one point, but that was also fixed very quickly! The electricity went out briefly every day, but that's normal in Africa and also happened when you were eating at a restaurant or in the club. The hotel does have a generator, so you'll have light and water pressure back on quickly, but you might occasionally be without electricity or air conditioning. So make sure your power bank is charged for your phone. There's also a security guard at the hotel door every evening. We really appreciated this, as the Maasai sometimes walk with you to your hotel. I think this prevented them from walking into your hotel. A huge thank you also to Katerina, the hotel owner! We had checked out and gone to Paje, where we weren't very happy. I sent Katerina a message, and she made it possible for us to return to Nungwi and stay at the Max Hotel. We were so happy about that! We will definitely be back!

Good location

Price - quality corresponds. 3 minutes to the ocean. all the infrastructure around is within walking distance. Cozy place. We liked everything. Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Delicious, hearty breakfasts.

Nice, clean, cozy family hotel. Wonderful staff. Breakfast is beyond praise. Very tasty and satisfying. I was worried about the salty water in the shower, but it turned out, in vain. After talking with the manager, he explained that the water they use is not from the ocean, but from the well. But it has a salty taste due to its proximity to the ocean. But at the moment when I lived in this hotel, the management used imported fresh water. From the words of the manager, I realized that they would continue to use fresh water. To be honest, if I knew that it was so good here, I would have stayed here longer. But I was going to go to another part of the island. Internet is good. When the electricity was turned off, the hotel turned on the generator. In general, I have only positive impressions from the hotel. The beach is 3 minutes walk. It is beautiful, considered one of the best in Zanzibar. There are many cafes, restaurants, shops and pharmacies around.

“I will definitely come back”

It was amazing. The staff, the location, everything was clean and the treatment was incredible.

“Great Location - great People”

Every morning nice breakfast - Fresh Fruits & Juice and many choices to add on ! Nice amd always fruendly Service

I liked it! Thank you!

““Far below even the minimum expectations - definitely not worth the savings for the area”

I chose this place for its convenient location and competitive price in the area. The location was good - if you have an organised day trip or excursion, most depart from Mama Mia, which is just a short walk away.

“Nice cozy hotel with an Excellent location”

The staff is very friendly, the rooms are big and clean, breakfast is really nice and the location is perfect (2-3 min walk from the beach). The hotel helped us to arrange day trips and taxis a lot cheaper than anywhere else.

Great property ! Good breakfast Welcoming staff

I came back to this hotel after the safari! Really good place !

Highly recommend! I’m really enjoying here Cozy place

I was pleasantly surprised by the service and the cleanliness of the rooms! The mattress was comfortable and the pillows were good. Excellent value for money, and I would definitely recommend this nice place.

Thank you, I liked everything! I already stayed overnight in this hotel and came back.

“The Perfect Central Location in Nungwi”

The hotel has a perfect central location in Nungwi, with many cafes, bars, shops, and more nearby. Despite this, the street where the hotel is situated is quiet. The atmosphere at the hotel is calm and comfortable. At the reception, I was able to buy a SIM card at a reasonable price, because outside the hotel they tried to sell me a SIM card for three times the price, which was outrageous. The water in the shower is quite salty, but it didn't cause me any discomfort. They have their own water well, which I found to be excellent, and I am confident that the water is safe for my health. They provided drinking water for brushing teeth. By the way, the drinking water was available in unlimited quantities and was free of charge. The breakfast was good. The staff helped me get around Nungwi and gave me a lot of useful advice. I parked my rental car near the hotel without any issues. I can recommend this hotel if you are on a tight budget and do not require luxury.

Great experience. This was the only hotel in Zanzibar out of the five I booked that had really good water pressure! The water was also hot and came on instantly—you didn't have to wait or adjust the shower like in other hotels. Only at the end of my vacation in Zanzibar, staying at Max Hotel, was I able to have a proper shower, which is amazing... The breakfast was delicious. My stay at the hotel lasted only one night, and I deeply regretted not booking more nights at Max... It's time for me to head home. Zanzibar is a very beautiful island.

“Highly recommended for Relaxation and things at a reachable distance.”

Loved the proximity of the property from the beach and other useful places. The property is spacious and have lots of trees and dedicated small sofa and table outside the room to relax and listen to birda chirping all day. Breakfast is filling and has variety to choose from. Staff is friendly especially the ladies who clean the rooms regularly. They are super hospitable and makes the room like new. I liked majority of the things in the property. They also provide drinking water.

“The welcoming staff and tasty breakfasts made for a pleasant stay”

Well located close to the beach Friendly staff Excellent breakfast

Fantastically convenient location, very helpful staff, I liked everything.
