Babalao Bungalow is a hidden GEM 💎 in Nungwi!! Location was everything and more! I had a phenomenal experience from start to finish! Max, the host/owner, went above and beyond...sharing details about restaurants in the area and a thorough description of how to navigate around Nungwi! I'm a solo traveler and I was super super comfortable at Babalao Bungalow! Best of all...I extended my stay and Max was super kind to accommodate me! The staff were very friendly and breakfast was exceptional! I got most of my breakfast packed up to go as most of my days was off site for tours and adventures! Thank you Thank you and Thank you Max and Staff for making this solo trip so memorable 💖 Bonus there is a super cute doggie!

Great vibe, owners always about and super caring of your comfort and feedback. Everything works in the room well and you have what is necessary for a comfortable stay. Take-away breakfast was included in the snorkeling trip which was a nice touch. Nice to have trips organised by hostel. Pool and outdoor area are great. Khalifa at the bar is great for a chat! Having Asha around was also fab.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The property is located right on a beautiful sandy beach with crystal-clear turquoise waters, making it the perfect spot to relax. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise, offering a good variety of options like meats, fresh fruits, and eggs made to order—though it’s not a buffet. The room was spacious and exceeded my expectations, and the bathroom was equally roomy. The water pressure was great, and I had a lovely sea view from the balcony. Internet was fast and reliable throughout my stay, which made working remotely a breeze. Plus, the hotel has a generator, so there were no issues with power outages. During the day, I enjoyed working in a quiet, shaded area of the hotel, and in the evenings, I dined on fresh seafood with wine right on the patio by the sea—such a special experience. The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing a detailed note with local price tips to avoid being overcharged, and sharing some great information about the island. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, stress-free stay with good service and a beautiful setting!

It’s really hard to believe that such a uniquely built hotel is suited where we found it in Nungwui. It’s beautiful. Modern and really breathtaking. The food was truly the icing on the cake. It tasted amazing. I’d stay again.

Zanzicrown is a modern, stylish hotel, situated in the more calm area of Numgwi, out of all the hassle. The room was big, extremely tidy with beautiful marble tile floor, bed was big and comfy and AC, hot water and wifi worked well all the time. They have very tasteful devoration and furniture, everything has a touch of design and elegance. The owners Elena and Matteo and their adorable cat Paolino treat us guests like we were family, always having time to chat and give great advice on what to see and do. For breakfast there was always a generous fruit plate, Elena's famous, freshly baked cakes and eggs and toast of your choise. All the staff was always helpful, arranging taxis, sunset cruises etc. Nearby is a lovely and relaxed Aluna sandy beach and a local restaurants with very good quality food for a very reasonable price, also vegetarian options easy to find.

Amazing location right by the beach - 10/10. Staff were really helpful and set up a tour for us when we arrived late the previous evening so that was really useful! Gave good restaurant recommendations too. They washed our clothes for us too for a very reasonable price. Good breakfast. Very clean room.
