The rooms are beautiful and comfortables, details oriented. Pool just for us anytime we wanted , and the fact that they don’t do the cleaning everyday for the climate impact we found it very ecological and nice, something that we appreciate.

Mama Root offers breakfast, and upon request, serves delicious lunch and dinner. While there isn’t a 24/7 kitchen, food and drinks are always within easy reach at the nearby beach spots.

This place was beautiful! We loved that it was set back from the beach so it was quiet, yet we had easy access to the ocean and we had a wonderful view of the turquoise waters from our large covered balcony. The balcony was an extension of our huge and pleasant room. A delicious and plentiful breakfast was delivered to our balcony each morning.
The owner was very kind! He allowed us to stay extra time, since our taxi wasn't arriving until after check-out time.
Nungwi
Located in Nungwi, on the quieter north east coast of Zanzibar, Game Fish Lodge is situated along the beachfront and features an in-house restaurant, bar and a sun terrace. Free private parking is offered on site. The place is very special and therefore might not be right for everyone. I typically don't write reviews, but as the place is so special (and as I just missed a flight ;)) I would like to help directing the right people into the place: Come here if you are looking for: - a very personal experience with your hosts. After a very short time you will rather feel like visiting friends than being at a hotel. - amazing self-cooked food. Breakfast and dinner is also just like friends cooking for you. Collin is an amazing chef. Try his tuna steak. You will get cheaper offers for dinner in local restaurants, but in terms of quality and quantity they can't compete with Collin. Mind that Collin might not cook every night for you (e.g. when rugby is on), so talk early to him when you want to eat at the lodge. - a calm and spacious place in which you can sit directly at the sea in an exclusivity you will not have in all the nearby high-end hotels. You will have a huge property almost for your own. - very nice other guests. People are chilled and it's true what's written in the other reviews. Collin kicks out people who spread negative vibes ;-) - great views and a lonely sandbank. From the sand beach and pool terrace on the rocks right next to the sea and from the terraces of your bungalow you will have amazing views to the sea. Don't come here if you are looking for: - "Zanzibari 5-star service" in which you have a waiter every 5 meters serving you a cocktail and cleaners cleaning your room twice per day. It's just the 2 people owning the place and 1 employee. - A new hotel with a lot of standardization which was just build 1-2 years ago. The place was built over the past 20 years by the owners. Collin used to be in the construction industry himself so everything is built nicely. He does not like edges and standardization, so you will not feel like in a branded hotel. - Sand beaches to swim. Go to the west side of Nungwi.

The location of our hotel was beautiful, it was quiet so was perfect for my honeymoon. I liked how the hotel is located in a village and seeings locals outside and activities to do and stuff to buy. My room had all the facilities we needed and AC/fan was good. Staff attended to our needs and looked after us well. I like the view from sitting at the top when we had our breakfast lovely view from the beach side. The pool was nice too and because it was quiet we still had our privacy.
The hotel is right on the beach! There are locals on the beach that try to sell you stuff but they don’t come up too close to where the sun loungers are so you can still relax. The food was amazing and the staff were great!
Location is good, not on the main beach but only a short walk to it. The beach directly in front of the hotel is main where locals park their boats. We stayed in 3 hotels between Kendwa and Nungwi beach. This was the best value for money hotel. It’s not expensive and the hotel reflected that but we’re not mad about this at all.
Great boutique hotel! Small, comfortable, great hosts and good foods. What more can you ask for?
Very hospitable, great host. The property is right next to the beach, where you can find nice restaurants. Beds are comfortable, room clean, bathroom looks great. Amazing breakfasts with local fruits, bread, fresh juice, eggs and sweets. Highly recommend staying with Zuzanu!
Everything was excellent from the moment we walked in. Staff were welcoming and sweet. The place was not crowded. We felt as if we owned the resort. The locals were also good to us and showed us around. We are definitely coming back.
Fantastic and very welcoming small property with a limited number of rooms. A great feel of safety and privacy. A few steps away from the beach. Place is run by very attentive hosts, helpful and I think sincerely caring. Amazing breakfast prepared by the hosts and taken at shared tables by the kitchen. Endless supply of fruits, homemade jams, and many goodies. Feel like being welcome in a private home. Nicely equipped rooms with all that’s needed.
