Tha staff was extremely nice and helpful, we felt them like close friends. We booked a twin room, but we got at the same price a family room, which was very large, with 2 bathrooms, 2 large bedrooms and living room. The mattresses of the beds were firm and we slept very good. Every evening they sprayed the rooms (if you want) with antimosquito substances. The staff helped us with all the trips we wanted to make, they arranged perfect everything for us. The location is very quiet and perfect for trips in marine park, it is close to the airport and the main city of the island. During one day trip we saw the northen part of the island, which has beautiful white sand beaches. Everything was perfect, the food, the room, the bar, the swimming pool and the staff was amazing! We thank everyone very much and we hope to see them again!❤️

My husband and I had a pleasant stay. The room and bathroom look exactly like in the pictures - very spacious and clean. Bunda is very kind and friendly. He prepared a very fresh and abundant breakfast for us every morning at the time we agreed upon. One day he accompanied us to the beach. The beach, airport, and city center are very close, easily and safely accessible on foot, as well as by tuk-tuk or boda-boda. Ali - the owner is also very nice and honest. He responded to all our requests very promptly. He advised us not to book the whale sharks tour until someone assures us that they have been seen the previous day. All tours on the island can be booked at very good prices directly from the owner. Ali, Bunda thank you very much for everything! We wish you all the best! Asante Sana! Kindly, Ioana & Andrei

We absolutely loved our stay at Kileleni. It’s a great little hotel, the perfect place to chill out or enjoy the island from. The rooms and grounds are beautifully looked after and the pool is a great spot for a dip. The food was all very nice but the best thing about the place was definitely the staff. Ali and his crew were so kind and friendly, there wasn’t anything they wouldn’t do to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Would definitely recommend for your stay in Mafia Island.

The location on the beach, the amazing bungalow with the view of the ocean. The beautiful gardens with unexpected treasures such as being visited by monkeys. It was right next door to a whale shark experience operation that I had booked a trip on. Beyond all this however what makes this property so special was the service provided by the staff. They we so welcoming and friendly, we felt at home straight away. The manager William (apologies if I spelt this wrong) knew the names of all the guests and over our 3 day stay we had many conversations. We were told the total occupancy was for 32 that made our short stay a big change for the hotel we were staying at in Zanzibar. The dining areas and bars felt very intimate and it was lovely and peaceful. My wife had a massage that she described as one of the best she has ever had accomanied by lapping waves from the ocean. The food was a set menu of several choices but the chef took time to go round the guests and ask if someone did not like the choices, alternative meals specially cooked would be provided. The meals were delicous. I needed to visit a doctors on a health issue and was shuttled to the surgery by the hotel team who helpfully arranged an appointment. The hotel has a water sports and dive centre attached to another hotel on the opposite side of Mafia. We did a sunset cruise from there and the sunset view was spectacular. Our greatest regret was having to leave the hotel after 3 days. We are already considering returning for a longer stay.

We found this lodge online and booked for 9 days. After a fantastic welcome we were offered the traditional bungalow on the beach, but could choose others that were available. The lodge is right on the beach and is a “barefoot” resort, sand right up to your veranda. We wanted to dive with the whale sharks, snorkel and scuba dive and the lodge delivered on all accounts. What really made our stay was the team, including the two Moodys (we called them the moody blues) and the wonderful team from the restaurant and boutique. Massages are also available. They all treated us like family and there was nothing they would not do to make our stay amazing. All our diving and snorkeling trips were organised, and we could add all the costs to our account and pay on departure. The whale sharks were amazing and the island snorkeling and beach BBQ incredible. We also ate on the beach in front of a beach fire. The fishing boats are right in front of you. There are also two resident black cats (Vladimir) who added to our family experience. Hassan, the owner, was very discreet, super friendly and professional leaving his team to happily look after us. Mafia is a small island, very laid back, and these guys do not have mass tourism, they just made our stay amazing. Well done!

- Mussa, Juani Beach manager, will provide you diferent choices to do as many activities as the island can offer you. All his contacts will be professional and caring with you. - Location could not be better, just by the beach. - Food is not only better than any other around the island but also pricey - Rooms are local-styled made of palms leaves in some cases

excellent accommodation in utende village. the staff is super friendly, attentive and helpful. the rooms are beautifully done, breakfast is fresh, delicious and more than enough. the dinner for 12$ is reasonably priced, you get a starter, a main and drinks and it‘s delicious. keep in mind that you‘re staying in the village and not on the beach. they lend you bicycles for the 5 minute ride and the drive is really nice. if i ever return to mafia i‘d stay there again. asante tena:)
