We stayed 20 days from the 16th December 2011 and absolutely loved every minute of our stay. The staff are excellent, very welcoming, friendly, well trained, genuine and warm. A great place to stay and relax. The rooms are cleaned daily, towels and sheets changed daily too. What we enjoyed was that we could sleep as late as we wanted... More

The Mbuyuni Beach Village was rustic, and set on the beach, about an hours drive from Stonetown. It is very secluded, and does not offer much of the touristy attractions... well, not any actually, but is friendly and the food was passable. The beaches are not clean, and do not offer much swimming scope either. More

The Mbuyuni is a great place to stay. The rooms are basic but well cleaned and looked after. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was very relaxed. It is not he most pluch hotel on the beach and the tide timing can be a bit bad (there are rocks at low tide). But the place was... More

We made a last minute decision to limit our exhausting mainland travels and come to Zanzibar to relax. After 3 days in Stonetown, we contacted the Mbuyuni Beach Village and got a double for $40 US per night. Our room was not ocean front, but was spacious, had a clean, updated bathroom with hot water, and a large bed with... More

The food is very tasty and satisfying (but slow) and the beach is very scenic (but not good for swimming). My partner and I prefer to swim in the sea so we simply walked about half an hour down the beach (it gets... More

Not having made a reservation previously (which is not necessary when traveling in September / October, but is advisable before or after) we got a taxi in Stone Town, which would drive us around several places on the east...

Mbuyuni is a well situated hotel, giving access to a wonderful white sand beach. The bungalow we stayed was big enough with a nice bathroom. We stayed 02 weeks. The hotel is far from the touristic area and Stone town (1 hour by car). So the hotel is advisable for people who want to relax, enjoy the sun , the... More

We have just returned from a wonderful 13 nights at Mbuyuni. The bungalow exceeded expectations; we had one of the larger bungalows with sea view and it easily slept a family of four. The beds were extremely comfortable and there was plenty of space to lounge on the balcony, it was very good value especially compared to other similar places.... More

Located in Jambiani this is one of the first 'resorts' as you enter the small village. The setting is very relaxing and romantic with small bungalows a few steps from the beach. The rooms are well sized and comfortable, very good value when you compare to similar places. The attached restaurant serves reasonably good food which is pretty well priced,... More
