The price is very very fair for what u get. The Toilet and the Shower work fine, the Fans in my room worked, the mosquitonet was whole. And Ally (the owner) and Bunda (the housekeeper) do everything to make the stay more comfortable. Both of them went out to buy me a ferry ticket because i was out diving that morning.. and it took hours of effort, they nearly failed because it was to crowed, but finally got me a ticket, which i am more that grateful for!! The breakfast Bunda is prepairing fresh for everyone is delicious! Its very close to the „city“, airport and port, and some restaurants are around as well.

Great simple stay in the city. We only slept for one night here as we decided to move closer to our dive shop on the other side of the island. It’s a simple and cheap stay. Ally Mgeni is very responsive, he sent tuktuks to the airport to pick us up even without us asking.

Basic accomodation but with everything you need: clean rooms, bed, fan and mosquitos net. Very well located, close to the beach and nearby local shops. They are also very helpful in organising tours if needed. A big thank you to Bunda (the housekeeper) who has guided us through for our excursion in the morning at the beach and prepared amazing breakfasts and lunch.

The place is clean neat and tidy. Breakfast is good. You will meet other traveler’s here. The owner is helpful aswell as the care taker.. there a card that is helpful if you would like to participate in activities such as whale sharks.. I rented a manual motorcycle from the place and cruised around (recommend) as it’s nice to have the option to go where you want at what ever time you’d like. Main Street is 2 blocks away you’ll get local food there. I recommend staying here when you come to this Island. Anything can be arranged on this island take a step back and slow down in this tropical paradise.

I stayed in a large room with a private bathroom, which I would strongly recommend. I was comfortable and very well looked after by Bunda at the house, who even gave me a swahili lesson in the morning. There are places to eat nearby, but I highly recommend you try Bunda's cooking. Ali, the owner, is a vital source of information about the island. Really made me feel welcome.
