Attention to details everywhere (e.g. lots of plugs, switches, lights, decoration, paintings, furnitures, plants & garden, massage, etc). Great food available all day long, service by friendly personnel, cool background music never too loud, spacious bungalow, friendly and caring owner, good wifi and electricity, lots of different spots to enjoy apart from the room, spaces for workout if wanted, ping-pong table, 3 little pools to choose from, a real gem of an oasis! For divers, very good diving facilites and spots nearby.

Pools are not really for swimming but for cooling off and relaxing (not a critic at all, just a comment for would be swimmers). Walking to the beach might take 10-15 minutes (again not a critic at all, I knew when booking and tour or diving companies would come pick you up)

BEAUTIFUL place! Would come again 100%. Such a good value for money and the property is so pretty. We had our private bungalow with a balcony and it was our most luxurious part of the trip. Paco was so friendly and welcoming and helped us find tours, drivers and anything else we needed. The bungalows are so relaxing, lots of space to lay down. Also lots of fun activities like yoga, massage, ping pong, slack line, darts, swimming and board games. Breakfast in the morning was good since its an all you can eat buffet. The restaurant food and bar was also reasonably priced and delicious.

Beware of mosquitos! Luckily there’s a mosquito net, but I was pretty much always wearing bug spray.

We had a great stay. The entire property is so lush, green and jungely. A true oasis and very well arranged. It is a large ptopery, but thanks to the different areas it doesn’t feel large. Our room was spacious, beds comfy. The fan was sufficient for the nights. Bathroom was small, but sufficient and clean. Wifi was not great in the room, but outside it was well working. The pools are a great plus in the heat of Zanzibar. The breakfast was a bit underwhelming, but there were not so many guests. Staff is friendly. You walk around 15 mins to the beach or local restaurants.

Wonderful Stay at Salama Mbuyuni Bungalow I had a fantastic experience staying at Salama Mbuyuni Bungalow. The place is perfect for relaxation and unwinding — peaceful, beautiful, and truly serene. The food was absolutely delicious; I especially recommend the Thai beef salad, which was a real great. The team was incredibly friendly and always smiling, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owner is very nice and kind, making guests feel at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with great food and wonderful people.

Great inside territory, beautiful plants and 3 swimming pools, one is very suitable for small kids. Lovely bar area with some evening entertainments. Nice meals cooked at the restaurant for lunch and dinner, well priced and delicious. The hosts did the amazing job in building this accommodation. Even though it's quite far away from the beach and other sights, the owners made sure you have some things to do in the area: yoga class, good food at the restaurant, evening music at the bar. The owners are also very knowledgeable of the island, so they can help you to arrange things.

The breakfast was very limited and rather small portions (vs other lodges and hotels on the island). There is no coffee at the breakfast at all, only some strange drink with Cichórium taste that is served instead. Later I learnt that one of the owners doesn't like coffee, which I assume is the reason for this, but it shouldn't mean that guest should not drink it as well.

What a fantasic place! I loved the 3 swimming pools that were fairly deep (an adult like me could just about stand in most places, but when swimming my feet didn't touch the ground, which I loved! There is a sunny swimming pool, a less sunny swimming pool, which is a bit cooler and all set in lush jungle. The owners and their staff are super friendly and we had a fantastic time! We are planning on going back for longer.

Sometimes, as everywhere in Africa, electricity was off for a bit, but there was always electricity and internet somewhere. I don't consider this a problem, but if you are wedded to your phone and internet, just be aware that you may need to work from the extremely lovely and comfortable common areas at times.

Everything, the place has a magical atmosphere, spiritual and laid back, like in a tropical garden, my room was top, super big with a terrace overlooking palms and one of the pools. Good food every morning, help from everyone there and the massage of Maria in their super cosy spa was something I will never. forget, one of the best of my life. Maria and Paco are a Spanish couple who owns the place and make it unforgettable for everyone. If you have a chance don't miss to go there!

Nothing! The only thing you could say it's that the beach is 10 minutes away but a good walk in the morning and in the evening is what you must do! And you see also how real Zanzibar people live, so it was good it was like that!💪

Incredible place, starting from the bungalows, they are so comfortable with big rooms and beds, and everything perfectly decorated and you can find different swimming pools and ambients in the same space. The owners Paco and María are always available to help you in everything you could need. I wanted to highlight they have the coldest beers in all Zanzibat, something not easy to find lol, I have been in 4 different places apart of here, so I can compare it with others places we visited.before And finally the last day we decided to receive an incredible massage also in their installations,. So definitely I highly recommend this precious hotel and meet with Paco and Maria, they will always will try to make your stay in the best way possible.

Paco and Maria are extremely welcoming hosts! Their little oasis has a great vibe and we loved our stay there. We were lucky to be there a bit out of season apparently (mid September), so the whole place with 3 swimming pools was almost entirely for us (we even got an offer for a free upgrade to a stunning brand new bungalow, though we turned it down since we wanted to have 2 separate beds). Paco is the soul of the place with his never ending energy. We were extremely grateful when the first morning he noticed that our car had a flat tire... He offered to help us out and by the time we came back from the beach, the car was already fixed at a ridiculously low price of 20k TZS! They were also helping us to organize a snorkeling trip (which we had to cancel due to very rough sea) and overall were always available. Would be very happy to come back!

The beach itself was extremely quiet - we found one place with a few sunbeds and 1 or 2 restaurants, but we would prefer a bit more lively area to have more choice and having at least a few other people around (there was literally NOBODY the 2 days we went to the beach, so it felt a bit awkward).

Wonderful chill spaces throughout the property. Several different places to lounge on comfy couches in the shade. The yoga space was a huge plus-- nice to have room to stretch out. The pools were nice and perfect for a short swim or quick dip. Decent wifi, too. The kids loved the numerous cats and the barefoot walking ambiance

For longer stays, a bit more variety on both the breakfast and main menu would be wonderful. Pools occasionally had bugs, some of which bit. Power outages were a significant problem. They often lasted hours or would happen over and over. Lack of air conditioning in the room was a challenge for several members of our group, especially when coupled with nightly power outages. The location is quiet but has little to offer in the surrounding town.
