Unguja North Region Budget Hotels

"This was a very disappointing experience. I had arrived after a long day of travelling to discover that I had booked the wrong dates and was supposed to arrive the previous day. I always double, triple check the dates when I am booking, but I guess I made a mistake. Once this was realized, I was really hoping the staff would help me resolve this as painlessly as possible. I asked for any kind of break on staying another night, specifically said even $50 off (from $240) would be huge. They responded with a hard no. They made it clear that this was my fault and they had no intention of helping. "Go and check the apps if you want a better price" is what the manager told me. No attempt at all to be empathetic to my situation, with very much a "why should I help you" attitude. I would understand if the place was busy and it was costing them money to give me a break, but it was empty... based on the people I saw, I would estimate they were at 10-15% capacity, tops. In the next 20 minutes after this interaction, I had someone come into my room to "check on the water", then 5 minutes later someone came to "check my bed was made", and then 5 minutes later my wifi cut out! The wifi cut out about 5 times in the night I was there. The beach is also tiny and you will be swarmed with locals trying to sell you stuff. All that being said, other than the manager, the staff was very friendly."

"Beautiful, serene property. Very private. Staff were amazing and went well above and beyond!"

"Clean room, good Wi-Fi really pretty "

"SPA WAS VERY RELAXING, BAR HAD A WIDE VARIETY OF DRINKS AND EXCELLENT SERVICE FROM ALL THE STAFF."

"The property itself is very nice and well kept. The staff were also great! The pool is nice but a little deep at 1.4m but I’m just short. They do need to do a better job of food safety and covering food from flies. If I didn’t make it right at buffet opening, everything was covered in bugs! Also it wasn’t clear enough that this was a no alcohol resort when booking (I don’t drink that much anyways) and I understand it’s Ramadan but other resorts still had activities and entertainment, this one was SILENT.
