The staff and especially Jacky really did what they could to make sure that your stay was as good as you could get. The owner daily asked how our stay was and if there was something they could do to make it better. Its a place you always wanted to visit but didnt know how to find....... just book and go Very good breakfast with fresh fruit daily. You have a small meny to order from. the chef prepares it every morning. The food meny had alot of different dishes and the chef prepared it very good, The Lodge is situated in one end of the beach so no mass turism an less locals that seeked contact, with a short walk you can find other places to eat when you want to stretch ypu legs....still without shoes..=)

the bathroom wasn't really clean. We didn’t try the food cause there were no other guests and we don’t like to eat alone in the restaurant

The location right on the beach and away from the other hotels was great.

Wi-Fi was not great and quite unstable: could be improved.

Big room and nice facilities. The resort is literally right off the beach, but it offers a small swimming pool as well and a few chaise longues and hammocks scattered around the front of the establishment, facing the sea. Breakfast is great and lunch/dinner menu is also quite nice, with a few Swahili specialities.

The bathroom is very old and the power of water was sometimes very weak.

Very quit and beautyfull place. Beach was very quiet. The Staff was very friendly and aways helpfull. They always took good care of us. Our room was ok, the bathroom would need a renovation, but the rest of the room was very simple but totally fine for us and we did not expect a 4 Star hotel. If you want to relax and don't need the typical touristic spots, this good place to stay.

Unfortunately, you are away from touristy spots which limits your choices in regards too eating out and entertainment. Head north to Nungwi, Matemwe or even Stone Town. We hired a car for three days which was $30 a day, plus $15 for your official Zanzibar license. Finally, because you are so close to the beach and the accommodation is basic, the water pressure can be unreliable when having a shower.

The views whilst having breakfast are lovely and tranquil. The staff are kind, always happy to see you, pleasant but very shy, be nice to them. The rooms are cleaned everyday which keeps it nice. Juliana is very helpful and will make you feel welcome. The location of being in Uroa puts you right amongst the local way of life which has positives and negatives. Positives, you can witness traditional methods of fishing whilst not having a commercialised holiday (sun beds and music all along the beach are not here) which keeps it peaceful and relaxing. Value for money - yes, absolutely.

The beaches in the area are dirty, too many people trying to sell stuff and constantly harassing you on beach walks.

Rooms are big and comfortable, the staff were helpful to arrange a fridge for our room.

Limited selection of food in the area, but we found really good grilled calmari for 15 bucks (Tartaruga)

It was a really nice and comfortable stay. We really loved the place and the staff. It is beach front, you leave the room and have the ocean literally a few steps away.

The breakfast was very basic and was outside. It was taken outside - there was no indoor area. The area was covered by a roof but mainly open. The murals on the walls were peeling off. In fairness it was not expensive, you get what you pay for. When I booked online the room said it was for 8 people so expected it would be large. It was very small with no furniture, just 2 beds crammed in. The bathroom was basic and we had to have water brought in a bucket one night as the shower didn't work. Another time I would pay more and maybe stay at the hotel next door which had a bar, restaurant and spa, all of good quality.

The location was lovely. It was literally on the beach. The meals were basic but made with fresh ingredients and freshly cooked. The owner organised a short boat trip for us which was lovely and she helped us to hire a car and book a safari. There were small shops/units on the beach with very friendly and helpful staff. The village was very friendly, everyone said hello, even the children. My friend bough a pillow which was handmade, the maker signed the pillow for her. The country is basic and there is only what is there. We loved the holiday and had a fantastic time - we hired a car and visited caves, beaches, The Rock Restaurant (magical), saw turtles, giant tortoises, took boat trips, visited a spice farm and went on safari to Tanzania - all 'once in a lifetime' experiences.
