This place is good choice if you are looking for a private, clean, well priced accomodation. Flame tree consists of few isolated one / two storey buildings (cottages). Each of this biuldings has 2-4 rooms. I have found the one storey buildings to be a bit lower standard (lower priced) and two storey buindings fitted with "higher" standard rooms. We... More

We spent 4 days in Flame Tree Cottages in February 2012. And that was just like spending time in paradise. A beautiful and picturesque hotel. The paths in the hotel were made of send...so you don't have to wear shoes...the beach is just at your front door. Breakfast served on your veranda, all those colorfull flowers around, people so friendly... More

Stayed over New Year so considering the standard of the hotel and facilities, it was a little overpriced. However, it was very friendly, family friendly and safe, quiet and only a short walk along the beach to other bars and restaurants. We did try their food at first, but weren't so impressed and we tended to eat elsewhere. Not that... More

My husband and I stayed at Flame Tree for 5 nights for some R&R after doing a 7 day Tanzanian safari and 6 day Mt Kilimanjaro climb. We stayed in the Jasmin 1 room, which was basic but nice. Breakfast was served outside our room each day, which was nice however, like some of the other reviewers on this forum,... More

Having your breakfast served on your terrace was lovely, although after the 3rd day I'd had enough of eggs. great selection of fruit. staff were all really friendly. it was very quiet when we were there so enjoyed the pool to ourselves most of the...

Flame Tree Cottages is very nice and peaceful place. It has beautiful dense gardens, which give you best time to relax. As regards the location it was at the end of the Nungwi public area with bars, so Flame Tree was very quiet place with not long walk to any Nunwgi bars. The owners are very nice and reply to... More

I have stayed at the Flame Tree Cottages for 9 days on the beggining of January 2012. The personal was very lazy. The staff and the management of the Flame Tree Cottages – very poor! The location is very good near the beaches bars area. The breakfast was poor (eggs, eggs and eggs), except all the fresh fruits and juice.... More

Whilst we didn't stay here, our party preferred to use the facilities here rather than our own hotel. The restaurant was lovely with excellent fresh food and plenty of variety served each night and good honest prices for the trips and other facilities. We were never disappointed and it put our much more expensive nearby hotel to shame in terms... More

I stayed three nights at the flame tree in frangipani cottage. As a solo female traveler this was more than enough. The room was huge. There are two single beds pushed together so not ideal for a couple. There was a safe and huge sitting room. While this was furthest from the water, it's not a terrible walk. I didn't... More
