Spacious, clean bungalows with a generous bathroom, all in a garden with a lot of vegetation and a lot of shade. The bungalows have minimal but sufficient furnishing facilities. The beds are very comfortable and have mosquito net. Where else can you sleep in a bed with a carved wooden canopy at this price? Linen is changed every day, including beach towels. The location is located right next to the beach, you just have to go down a few steps. The location is halfway between Paje and Jambbiani, where you can reach it in an easy walk on the beach. It all depends on the ebb and flow times. We had a bungalow without air conditioning, but we didn't feel the heat. The space ventilates very well due to the windows closed only with mesh and ceiling fans. The advantage is that you can hear the roar of the ocean. The disadvantage is that you can also hear everything that is being discussed outside, and if you have noisy neighbors it could be disturbing. In the garden there are many places where you can relax, hammocks, beds, swings scattered here and there among the trees, in the shade or in the sun. The pool is not big but it is not crowded either. There is a lot of silence. There are many flowers, and through the trees you can even see monkeys. There are hammocks, beds and swings on the beach as well. On the beach there are only a few people at distances of hundreds of meters. Breakfast consists of fresh fruit, a delicious freshly squeezed juice, coffee at discretion on each table (French press or instant), and eggs served in various ways. Maybe a little diversification should be done, not just eggs. You can eat at lunch and dinner, the food is good at reasonable prices. The staff is very kind. Wifi exists only in the terrace area of the reception-restaurant and it works well

A really nice property right on the beach. The room was simple but the fan was sufficient to keep it cool. The restaurant offers lots of food choices and there was always a vegetarian option available for us. The pool is quite nice and has lots of shaded areas to sit in around it. The property never felt crowded and you could always find a quiet place to relax and enjoy the view. The property isn't " close" to either village ( Jambiani or Paje) so it is quieter, but it also means that if you do want to go to town, it's about a 40 minute walk. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Breakfast is appreciated, but offering a little variety ( even just 2 options to select from) would be a nice addition!

Mbuyuni Beach Village is beautifully situated in the green. The complex is an oasis to relax and the accommodation is very well maintained and the pool invites you to relax. The breakfast consists of fresh fruit, toast, egg of your choice and a delicious fresh fruit juice. It is located between Paje and Jambiani, so especially in the evening when it is dark you are dependent on a means of transport, which can be organized by the hotel. The bungalows are very large and spacious. We had a very nice and relaxing stay. We would come back anytime.

Just a small recommendation but it's only my taste. The rooms are nice and big it could need a little bit more decoration like pictures at the wall. But just a small thing.

Mbuyuni has amazing grounds. We enjoyed having places to relax by the ocean including beds by the beach in a cove. It’s a very comfortable environment day and night to relax. And then they feed you😀….I loved my time. The food had me eating 3 meals a day. The service from the team was very well coordinated. The staff I liked as they made for such a calm peaceful atmosphere. I didn’t have to chase for anything. Their service was on point. The location is away from the populated beaches so I cannot wait to come back be it to stay or for food and a calm relaxing afterboon. Thanks for making my stay memorable. I’ll be back.

- Friendly and very helpful staff who speak good English - Beautiful location right on a really nice and uncrowded beach (no comparison to Paje where you are bothered to buy stuff every few minutes) - Plenty of comfy sun loungers, even directly on the beach - Rooms are spacious, there are mosquito nets on the beds and there is a shower with hot water and really good water pressure! You can book with or without AC - Outstanding value for money

- Swimming in the sea is not super easy because there are a few rocks in the sea. However, you can still swim on some tides or easily walk to a strip without rocks within 5 minutes - Don’t expect European hotel standards. Everything is well-maintained but still it’s not a 4-star hotel - The water in the pool seems clean but the pool walls are a little worn so that the pool water does look dirty on first sight

I loved this hotel- the garden was a little oasis of tranquility with palm trees, hammocks and the sound of waves. The restaurant had a delicious menu so i did not feel the need to eat elsewhere- i especially loved their milkshakes, juices and curries. I walked to both Paje and Jambiani during the day. Ideal if you are seeking peace, relaxation and solitude. The room was large enough with a lovely patio. The stuff was also kind and very helpful.

The food was amazing and the breakfast had lots of fresh fruit and juice every morning. The location was perfect, views of the beach everywhere. The pool was a nice bonus. They have very nice seats along the beach to rest and relax in, either in the shade or in the sun. I would highly recommend this place as a relaxing, quiet, and great costumer service spot. The staff were wonderful.

We had a really nice time there. The staff would answer all our questions and help wherever they could. The meals were reasonable priced and delicious. Many small places around the property to chill and relax. Nice pool areaThank you

The beach right in front of the location ist very rocky. You will have to move some meters to get into the sea easily.

The lodge is placed in a very quiet area between Paje and Jambiani, which can be reached both by walking on the beach (during low tide hours). The restaurant, swimming pool, and rooms are very nice. The staff is ready to answer your questions and offer optional services (eg, we went snorkeling in Jambiani for a honest price).

Communications before check-in were difficult (no answer to phone calls and messages via Booking app).
