Casa Umoja Guesthouse

A little supermarket is run by the owners, and there's also a small spa where Amina gives excellent massages and other treatments. The owners and staff are friendly and happy to help with anything. Rooms and breakfast are simple, but give you what you need for beach days, just two minutes away, or for going on trips. It's a lovely, safe place a bit off the beaten path of Nungwi. Their four dogs and probably six puppies, born while we were there, are super cute and a unique bonus. Everything felt down to earth. I'd come back anytime.

The beach is very close, just a minute from the beachfront. The owner was friendly and happy to share information about the island. The chef will also cook dinner each night if you ask, for an amount you agree on together. We had a great stay with my family. I'd recommend it to everyone and would come back myself!

This place costs too much for the low quality. The bungalows were dark and dirty, as were the shared areas, with dirt that had built up over a long time without cleaning. Rooms weren't cleaned regularly. We had a broken fridge in one of the bungalows, water problems with little or no current, and sometimes the electricity didn't work. Breakfast was dull. I especially wouldn't recommend it to families with children. Since staying there, the whole family has had intestinal problems that continued for a week after we got home.

Good place for the price, with helpful staff ready to assist with what you need. It's 100m from the beach, and there's lots of greenery, almost like a small park.
