We stayed here for two nights, it was low season as rainy season was supposed to have started (but we barely saw any rain) and we got a good rate. There were only 8 other people staying at the same time as we did, which made it even nicer. Perfect place to relax. Rooms were simple, two Zanzibar style beds,... More

We stayed here for our last 4 days to relax after a 6 1/2 week safari. Couldn't of picked a better place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful and fun to be around. Food was very good. Internet was good. The pool very clean. Our room was ocean view by the pool. The room was clean and very... More

Pictures tell all! We were very pleased with our stay here and would definately stay again. We felt like we were in Paradise! You are right on the white sandy beaches, also with a nice pool! The tide goes out so far that you can only swim in the oceans at certain times of the day. So it was great... More

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

Mbuyuni Lodge is a great low budget accomodation in Zanzibar. The rooms are very simple but clean. 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

After having spent some weeks exploring East Africa, we headed for a quiet location in Zanzibar to recharge our worn-out body-batteries. 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...
