The location was great and we felt like we got a much more authentic experience than if we would have gone to some of the big hotels instead. The breakfast was great, the staff was really friendly and helpful at all times especially Mona Lisa who runs the place and does an amazing job as a host. She let us borrow an extra fan and even switch rooms when we were having trouble sleeping because of the heat and she was accommodating to any requests or needs we had. She also helped us with laundry and allowed us to checkout later. Overall really nice stay and I would recommend!

It can get quite hot in the rooms but it's easily solvable if you talk to Mona Lisa so not a big problem at all.

This hostel is great, clean rooms, hot water, good fan, working wifi, communal gas top cooker and great communal relaxing areas. Mona Lisa is LOVELY and made our stay so much better! Everyone that works here is super friendly and there is always someone available to talk to if you need anything. The breakfast in the morning is great. We got two crepes, a piece of toast with an egg how you want it (fried, scrambled etc.) a plate of fruit, a glass of juice and the option of tea or coffee with sugar and milk optional. Each day we got a different juice and fruit which was a nice bit of variety. The walk down to the beach is so close it takes less than two minutes, it is a bit hard to swim as the tides aren’t high until later at night around 6 so during the day you can just relax on the sand. It is hard to find things to do in Jambiani just because everything like the turtle sanctuary and the dolphin or snorkelling tours are up at the top of the island in Matemwe which is a 2 hour drive. We did a nice snorkelling trip for roughly 2 hours just from the Jambiani beach right down from the hostel which went out to the reef and it was great. Highly recommend Mudi House if you’re staying in Jambiani!

An amazing sojourn in Mudi House,a cozy and comfortable hotel with the beautiful Mona and Fatouma.Their kindness and love make us feel right at home.The cleanest hotel in Zanzibar, especially the kitchen where you can prepare your food.The terasse and the garden are just amazing without forgetting that the hotel is close to the beach ⛱️, between small houses.Children play around and the funniest thing is that you wake up with the Baaa of the goat 🐐 to live an authentic Jambiani life. Without forgetting the most delicious 😋 breakfast prepared with love by Mona and Fatouma who made our experience just unforgettable.

We were greeted with the beautiful smile of Mona Lisa which started our weekend off perfectly! There were so many special little bonuses, such as a magically lit seating area in the garden which we really enjoyed as we could hear the surf of the ocean, sleeping under cotton sheets and being hosted by the very friendly staff who took care of all of our needs. Will definitely stay there again!

Breakfast included a lovely plate of fresh fruit, eggs made to order, toast, coffee and tea along with jam and peanut butter.. it was delicious although we suggested they buy locally made peanut butter and make their own jams and the idea was very well received, so we expect more homemade goodies next time!

Arrived to a warm welcome. Had a little problem in the evening with a sick cat, staff called the owner who was very concerned and offered to try and locate a vet for me. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Breakfast was a good selection of fruits followed by eggs of your choice and a stack of pancakes. Owner very friendly and because of this I would have liked to have stayed longer but unfortunately I had to leave early.

Very cosy place,😍( Top price performance ratio! 👍🏻) Special thanks to Almasi (for healing my cold with african medizin) , Mona Lisa, Neema and Fatuma! You are great, i felt very welcome. Asante sana 🙏 uko malele chamwa (you know what i mean) 😉

It was very clean and the host was really nice.

Very warm and loving welcome. They showed me everything around the hotel, helped with transport services. Wonderful breakfast! Very kind staff, management very tentative to our needs. Very close to the beach, the place is quiet and peaceful in the village, and Monalisa, the incredible manager, with her kind smile and her devoted personality makes you feel at home 🙏🏼

Our stay at Mudi House was fantastic. The location is ideal, just a short walk from Jambiani Beach. Mona Lisa was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit. The outdoor seating area at Mudi House was a wonderful spot to relax and chat with family. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Monalisa is such a great host - when I was sick, she took great care of me, the breakfast was amazing and always freshly prepared. Whenever I had a question, they had answers and had great recommendations for activities and areas. Everyone is so kind and friendly and you feel very much at home.
