The hotel is really beautiful !!! Greeted by a Masai at the gate, which is looked most of the time, the staff are all super nice and friendly, the cook sings a lot which made me smile every time I was around him. The room was clean and spatious, for one. I also had access to a balcony from where I was able to catch some sunsets. The hotel offers a menu for lunch or dinner ; for 18$ you can choose a starter, a main course and dessert (if I recollect correctly). I was able to use the pool, super clean, as well as the outdoor shower. From the hotel, 5 to 7 min to the beach. There’s also a mini supermarket, 10 min by foot. And last but not least, the manager was always there to help or only to greet you with a big smile.

The resort was fantastic! Not only the room was clean, spacious and cozy, but also all the facilities were top, including the chill area and the restaurant where we had dinner every evening. Delicious food, a bit pricey but at least you get the guarantee of not getting sick. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly 🙏 I really enjoyed interactions with the staff who apart from being funny and teaching us Swahili, did arrange an amazing tour after another company cancelled on us. Thanks to them we could swim with dolphins and snorkel and it was the best experience! Besides, the beach is at a walking distance from the hotel and it’s spectacular. Good value for the price we paid and the whole design of the resort was beautiful ✨

The smell in the room was questionable.

The staff in this place is amazing! Especially Mohammed made me feel like home with his friendliness. Also Remo did a lot for me during my stay. Shoutout also to the cleaning ladies who even did my laundry and always greeted with a big smile! The hotel it self is charming, clean and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

The location isn’t necessarily the best one as it’s not by the beach. And actually the Kiwengwa beach wasn’t even that nice beach out of the ones that I visited during my trip. However, you can take a taxi or boda boda to other places and explore the island from here. And it was always nice to come back to this little hidden garden after the adventures around the island.

The hotel is great, the rooms are nice and clean, the garden is beautiful. Remo and Bertram deserve special mention. They do everything to make their guests feel comfortable. I have been to many hotels and the staff were often very helpful and friendly, but these two and everyone else like the cook, cleaning lady, etc. just do everything. The service is world class! My partner had an accident, Bertram brought him some soup without asking, and before that, our whole breakfast was brought to the room on the top floor without asking. Remo contacted the doctor and helped us with a Masai stick because my partner had difficulty walking. We then wanted to spend a few more nights in the sister hotel "Sofia Sea View" and we got a good deal for this and Remo took us there too. This hotel is also really nice and a bit more luxurious with larger rooms and direct beach access. Bertram also accompanied us to ATMs or Remo drove us there by car. I can really recommend both hotels to everyone. I have never experienced better service, but one that is so unobtrusive, sensitive and just incredibly friendly and kind. We will definitely be back and miss it there. You really feel like "at home".

The facilities were great, clean and comfortable. The place was peaceful and a welcome stop after travelling for ages. The amenities and breakfast were good. There are restaurants by the beach or the main street for food and drinks. The beach is only a few minutes walk and the sand is powdery soft.

The property gave away our room and put us in a downgraded room, but they rectified the problem by the next day and gave us a complimentary dinner.

- Staff was very kind - Food and restaurant guys were great - Big and comfortable room - Good prices for excursions - Guest are treated very gently - Private beach option for free with twin hotel “Sofia See View”

- The road to reach the hotel is narrow and might need some improvements for guests

I absolutely loved this hotel. It was so restful and beautiful. The staff were really attentive and so friendly. The lady who made up our room every day did a particularly great job with decorating our room with flowers every single day. I would not hesitate to come back

The road to the property is a little treacherous and so wouldn’t walk it at night in case I fell over

There was a breakfast menu with different options. All of them including coffee, juice, fresh fruit and pancakes... plus a real meal. Chef Mo is a star. Also the girl coming every evening to set the mosquito net, the sweetest. All in all, the staff was beyond kind and helpful.

Not a lot to do in the premises. Many power cuts and weak Wi-Fi. Swimming pool was nice but super slippery. Street not paved and quite steep.

Raymond, the manager, and all his staff were exceptional. They were all so friendly and helpful. The house keeping staff were such a joy. Cannot praise them all enough.

The breakfast, unfortunately over the 11 days got less and less.. we were getting 3 fruits at first, then down to two very small pieces, the choice with two eggs went down to one egg, and no coffee was offered at all over the 11 days. However we would go back due to the staff

we traveled to nungwi, Kiwengwa and Bweju. but only in this hotel it was true service ! the staff was amazing as on no other hotel. we felt extremely welcoming and as if we would be the most important guest. in comparison to all the other hotels - it was the best. Eventhough the pool was cloudy the first day - they stand out with Theire service to find a solution for us. it was a perfect stay thanks to the staff (including the lovely cleaning lady)

Location was a Bit off Road - Pool was not clean wifi was a Bit bad in the rooms
