What an unexpected gem at the end of our holiday. It only has 3 rooms with amazing view and lovely staff. Our 3 year old daughter loved Ali who was so kind to play we her constantly. We stayed here 3 nights which was perfect because it is very secluded. Perfect for chill and some excursions. Food was lovely too. Thanks all!

Fantastic staff, always happy and smiling, and the owner Mussa was super helpful when we arrived with the ferry from the mainland! The location is great, next to a nice beach with no beach sellers harrasing you. They also arrange the whale shark snorkeling tours right from the property at a fair price. Breakfast was super and the overall vibe of other travellers at this hotel was very good with people from all over hanging with each other. This was our favourite hotel during our whole trip in Zanzibar/Tanzania/Mafia and so good that we returned here for an additional night.

Wonderful staff, excellent beds and a very nice swimming pool. The chef made some very good meals and the room was very spacious and very new. The staff is also very helpful if you want to explore the island. I can highly recommend Mafia Dream Hotel if you are looking for a place at Mafia Island.

We hade a great time, everyone is friendly and welcoming from the staff they also provide great possibility to see the whalesharks in a responsible and nice way. So all over we would definitely come back!

My husband and I had a pleasant stay. The room and bathroom look exactly like in the pictures - very spacious and clean. Bunda is very kind and friendly. He prepared a very fresh and abundant breakfast for us every morning at the time we agreed upon. One day he accompanied us to the beach. The beach, airport, and city center are very close, easily and safely accessible on foot, as well as by tuk-tuk or boda-boda. Ali - the owner is also very nice and honest. He responded to all our requests very promptly. He advised us not to book the whale sharks tour until someone assures us that they have been seen the previous day. All tours on the island can be booked at very good prices directly from the owner. Ali, Bunda thank you very much for everything! We wish you all the best! Asante Sana! Kindly, Ioana & Andrei

I really enjoyed my stay here in the tent zone! Just steps away from the ladies' bathroom which was well-maintained and always clean. The tent is as described and was perfectly comfortable for my stay! I feel that it may be a little small for two, but it was perfect for one. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler! The restaurant and relaxation area are nice. Staff were lovely, from the restaurant to the diving center. The best part is that there are several places to get a drink or dine nearby if you'd like (I recommend Pamela's on the beach, just two minutes walk away!) I would definitely consider staying here again, good value for money!

The bungalows are very cozy, super clean and the staff is extremely friendly 👌👍 The owner took us on a day trip with snorkeling and diving and had a lot of tips for us. He joined us for lunch and dinner and had an answer to all of our questions regarding whale sharks, diving, beaches etc. 100% recommendation !

This is a very new place focussing on diving excursions with two very well equipped cabins. It is situated in the beautiful marine park area where scuba diving is exceptional. The area is not overrun by tourists and the cabin is a very cosy and restful place. Enjoy one of the evening cocktails, prepared by the friendly staff or relax at the poolside. The small resort arranges shuttle service to and from the airport.

    I had a wonderful stay at Mgeni Homestay, with both Ally, the owner, and Bunda, the home caretaker, going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the house is centrally located in Kilindoni and close to the beach. I would recommend Mgeni to those who are traveling, either alone or in groups, and are looking for a budget and authentic homestay option.

    The location is nice for doing whale watching tours & the AC worked very well. Also it’s located close to the airport. For 1-3 nights it’s a nice stay but I wouldn’t want to stay longer for a second time.

    The staff was magnificent, kind, and attentive. The facilities are new and beautiful. The pool was perfect to relax in and cool off. The location is centrally located, we even walked to and from the airport. They called for transportation to scuba diving and whale shark tours. The food was excellent and plentiful. We ate all our meals there for 6 days. And the staff was wonderful. All 5 of us in our group, after a month of traveling, highly recommend Mafia Dream

    Beautiful new and well appointed hotel. Crisp laundry and spotless towels. Attentive and helpful staff. Beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea. A place for peace and quiet - esp beach combing and bird watching along the mangrove fringed shore.

    It's located right at the beach with beautiful sunset views. Unfortunately, this time of the year there was a lot of seaweed (and rubbish) washed up on the shore, it's still pretty though. The outdoor seating area is ideal for a sundowner, beer and soft drinks are sold at good prices. Food served was good. The staff is really friendly and helpful, you can book activities with Mussa as well. The room itself is clean, and has a nice seating area in front. Drinking water, coffee and tea are available free of charge all day long.

    The staff are amazing. Abi is so helpful and kind. The Whale Shark activity was awesome and the Captain and Guide were respectful towards the Whale Sharks unlike the other boats around us. It was also cheaper than the other lodges. The room was spotless and comfortable. Spa treatment fantastic. Really super spot. Its the perfect place to book at the start of your Mafia holiday and then explore. Thank you Maisara:)
