Simply love this place! Everyone in the staff help you get the best experience on mafia island. They arrange great tours that we really enjoyed. Best experience by far was the whale shark snorkeling. The place is small with few bungalows which make the place really friendly where everyone says hello to each other. The location is also great close to the beach and Kilindoni and the airport. Theres a bar and smaller restaurant which serves great food. Really recommend this place!

The property has a wonderful pool, and large, clean, modern rooms with air conditioning. The staff, especially Hamidu at the front desk were kind and really helped make our stay very comfortable. You could easily walk from the airport to the hotel, but the hotel will happily arrange transport for a fee. We organised our whale shark and full day snorkelling through the hotel and they were both fantastic! The whale shark tour started a 7min Tuktuk ride away, while the snorkelling tour was about half an hour away to the marine park on other side which means you have to pay the marine fee. Worth it. And nice to stay on the side where you don’t need to pay the fee everyday. The activities needed to be paid in cash, but the hotel and meals can be paid with card. There’s an ATM around short walk away. The restaurant is good, a loved the banana milkshake!

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!

What a beautiful place - the rooms are so nice incl. all you need (hot water, A/C, super clean....) the garden is beautiful, and the view from the pool towards the ocean is a dream. Staff is very nice, food and drinks are good, prices reasonable and there are just a few rooms, so it is very calm and relaxing. I would return to there anytime! Note - no beach access!

The location was amazing when it was high tide you could go out and snorkel on the beach to the jetty the water. Has a great sunset view bar with great staff. Food was also great and quite dynamic not always the same.

Mgeni Homestay was the best value accomodation that we've stayed in during our African travels. While the building itself is basic the rooms have everything you need: comfortable bed and pillows, mosquito net, ceiling fan, somewhere to sit that isn't the bed and places to hang your drying towels (and clothes if you've done some handwashing). Aly was also very helpful at organising excursions and taxis for us, while Bunda cooked fresh, delicious and generous meals (including a good amount of vegetables, which can be hard to come by). The homestay is close enough to the airport that you can walk there if you have packs (not ok for wheelie suitcases) and don't mind a hot walk. The ATMs are also a short walk further than the airport so they are also accessible. We appreciated our stay so much that we returned for second stay before leaving the island.

Fabulous stay, great location and everyone super nice! We took trips and the staff/owners couldn't have been nicer. The image is from our Whale Shark excursion, I love it! Such a moody day but we reached and found these beautiful, gentle sea giants. 🤍🖤🤍

Beautiful resort. The location is amazing, my room even had ocean view. The food is fantastic, every day was a celebration and surprise. Which for me as a vegan is quite hard to find usually, even in Europe. Let's not forget about the staff. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. It's super rare to find such attentive staff. I will be back for sure.

    Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time.

    Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time. Still underdeveloped with not too many locals handling foreign languages but nice people. A lot of chinese low key staff in the boutiques but sometimes quite pricey. Even the beer is cheaper in Europe ! Kilindoni is the main spot and if you don't find a certain thing here , you won't be able to find it on the other part of the island. Island still lacks promotion ( advertising ) and I was disappointed that I wasn't able to find those T shirts with Mafia logo or saying something about the island. I went there for diving - and it turned out to be the most expensive one I had in whole my life - so resume to whale shark watching.until the government change its mind and stops screwing tourists. ( I hope this will happen in the future ). Regarding the diving: I'm an instructor so can lay down a professional thought: good but not outstanding as they brag ... and not worth the money.
