Accommodation in Utende

This place has air con fan and plenty of hot water, and they will be expanding rooms at the end of the season!! Nice and close to all dive centres and with dive plant right next door

It is a beautiful place, well organized and very friendly and considerate staff. They remember your names, likes and dislikes when it comes to food - we were really impressed We tried different activities at the dive centre and had a great time. They also have a very comfy lounge area to chill and escape the heat.

Our stay at Lala Mafia was absolutely wonderful. It’s this beautifully and lovingly arranged little spot of paradise that instantly makes you feel at home. The terrace felt like being right in the middle of the jungle, so peaceful and unique. We had the whole place to ourselves, which made it feel truly exclusive compared to larger, more standard places. Emmanuel, our host, was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure every little detail was perfect. From the thoughtful touches around the property to making us feel completely cared for, everything was effortless and warm. We’re already missing Mafia Island today, and the accommodation definitely played a big part in making us fall in love with Mafia Island. We hope to come back soon.

Very beautiful amazing place, very nice and helpful staff. They were not disturbing but helped a lot even with a tiny problems which we were about to tolerate. It is a best place to stay on Mafia

The service and staff were wonderful, very attentive and helpful. Free bikes so we could go into Utende which is 10 minutes away. Very nice gardens and grounds. Comfortable and nicely decorated rooms. Great food and juices. Only 2 rooms so feels boutique.

Very friendly host making you feel like you are at home

Meremata and the staff were very helpful and attentive, always anticipating what you might need and able to help out with any request apt tasks I had on the island from getting massage to booking plane tickets to getting transport.

The service provided during the stay was truly exceptional in every regard. The dedicated staff demonstrated remarkable attention to detail and a genuine commitment to ensuring a comfortable experience. Every request was handled with grace, efficiency, and a welcoming attitude that made a significant difference. It is clear that a high standard of hospitality is prioritized for all visitors. Such thoughtful assistance creates a lasting positive impression that is deeply appreciated.

Basecamp is a beautiful place to stay on Mafia Island! The property is so stunning with views of the ocean and access to the beach. Our stay was very comfortable with lovely beds and bedding, our room was very clean and recently updated. The staff were all extremely welcoming and tended to our every need. We were greeted with a coconut to drink out of upon arrival as well as some local fruits. The breakfast was great with freshly made eggs however you like. The lunches and dinners were also really tasty. There is a bar at the pool, beach and restaurant which was convenient. The pool has a nice view of the ocean as well. The shuttle service from the airport was timely and convenient. We saw whale sharks snorkeling! We had our laundry done and folded, which was great. Our room was upgraded free of charge as there was availability, which was such a nice surprise as it has never happened to us before. Overall an amazing stay at a beautiful hidden gem, book it!!

All of the staff were fantastic and made it a perfect stay. Nothing is more magical than sleeping in a baobab tree. Great food.

Staff absolutely exceptional. Food the best. Quiet spot away from the action but easily accessible. Rustic simple charm

Lovely small property with very personal service, really great standard of accommodation, big room, great shower, nice pool, extremely accommodating staff. Excellent overall. Dive equipment is new and dive service also excellent.
