My girlfriend and I came here for a week of relaxing and to escape the winter and we could not have had a more perfect time. The Bungalow, on the beach, was beautiful and whilst simple, beautifully cleaned and such a cosy place to return to after a day of walking up and down the beach and falling asleep in... More

we stayed six nights here and enjoyed every single one of them. Very nice place on the bach between the coconut palms. Delicious food in the restaurant. Friendly staff and helpfull. Would come again in the future.

Even though I have traveled a lot (have also been to Zanzibar before) I normally don't write reviews - but this experience I simply feel compelled to write about, since it was really unpleasant. But to be fair, first the good things about Upepo: secluded location (note that the water gets more beautiful and clear and less full of sea... More

We came here as the last stop in our 2-week vacation, and we considered our stay at Upepo one of the highlights in the trip, and this is a very high benchmark...

I had a wonderful experience at Upepo, from the moment staff met me at the main road and walked me to my cottage at night (I had opted to take public transportation from Stone Town and night fell more quickly than I had anticipated) to conversations with Karen and Shareef over a beer, to the delicious food that was served....

Stayed there in July 2012 for 1 week. Very sweet and personal staff! Small place with 2 nice cottages, one just down to the beach. Good restaurant, but make shure to orden 1 hour before since everyting is cooked from scratch..If you are looking for a place where you just want to only a few people, this is the place:)... More

We had an amazing experience at Upepo. The bungalow overlooked the beach & sea which was stunning. The room had a decent bed with mosquito net, fan, and bathroom. I enjoyed the sea breeze a lot and never felt like i needed AC. During the night we just opened the windows (which have mosquito protection) and slept very comfortable. I... More
