Homestays in Zanzibar South, Tanzania

First of all, the advantages here are designer hotels, design with great care, rich characteristics, everywhere can make blockbusters. There are also many shortcomings. First of all, the location is remote and the price is not cheap. Except for the hotel itself having two kayaks, there is no sea exercise. The beach is not good, because there are fishing villages nearby, so it is dirty and there are many rocks. The food was exquisite and too delicate, leading to a little bit of food not enough. Unexpectedly, the fishing village next to it can buy the seafood that local fishermen catch every day. The price is incredible. I bring my own hot pot base to help the hotel process, which is absolutely satisfying for the stomach of the food. The hotel is built on topography, up and down are not very friendly to families with children, suitable for couples to travel

It is a very characteristic bungalow hotel located just on the sea, the beach is huge and you can take a beautiful walk along with relaxing in the common area with bed or amenities. There are 15 rooms with Wi-Fi and outdoor terraces and, although there is no restaurant in the structure, breakfast is served outdoor just in front of the room and you can choose two or three types of sucking and salt menus. We have made half-restaurant and we have been given a voucher to use in one of the restaurants in the area that are conveniently reachable walking from the beach. The staff is very friendly and available you can book excursions directly through them so you are quiet on the service offered and there is also the famous rock restaurant always reachable on foot. The Gillian's manager is really top of the hosting. He is super ready to accept all requests that are made to her and makes you feel really at home.

Staying at Hakuna Majiwe felt like finding a hidden slice of paradise, a real good value for money. It was made even more special by the incredible team that runs the place. I came here with my parents and my sister this summer, end of July approx. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine care that it felt like coming home. The staff here aren’t just doing their jobs—they’re truly passionate about making your stay unforgettable. Every interaction, from the friendly greetings in the morning to the thoughtful touches throughout the day, showed how much they genuinely care about their guests' experience. They cared a lot, helping with the suitcases, bringing the food to the room (room service), showing a service and type of staff seen nowhere but as in Hakuna Majiwe. What really stood out to me, though, was the food. Breakfast had a variety in worldwide and local food, which is thanked to try the flavors from Zanzibar. Every meal was a treat, bursting with fresh, local flavors, they tasted amazing, hats off to the chef, who even asked us if everything was good! The chefs clearly put their heart into every meal, and it shows. If we had to mention a downside, we would say that, as we kind of came in a time in which there were no guests, we missed a bit more of activity, animation at the hotel… Though, some new guests came the last 2 days we had there. Hakuna Majiwe isn’t just a hotel; it’s a place where you feel truly looked after, where every detail is taken care of so you can fully relax and enjoy your surroundings. The amazing staff, food and decoration made my stay here something I’ll always remember fondly! Thanks!!

This hotel was amazing! The owner was really kind and helped us out a lot with food and offered excursions and day trips. The service and staff were amazing. I wish we stayed longer as the food was amazing and right on the beach - which was beautiful and crystal clear. I definitely recommend staying here and I would definitely definitely definitely come back :)

It was indeed an unforgettable vacation. I stayed in the hotel for eleven days before leaving the island. The facilities are a bit like a B&B, but basically everything is available. But you still have to remember to bring slippers or beach shoes, otherwise you will go barefoot because the hotel does not have slippers. The sanitary conditions are good. Remember to close the door in time, otherwise mosquitoes will come in. The environment is good. You can go to restaurants in the village to eat, which is also good, but they only serve Western food. The seafood is relatively fresh and tastes good.
