Homestay Mau'sPlace - Authentic Afrikan House
Kibigija, Jambiani, Tanzania – Great location - show map
We had a very comfortable stay in Mau's place. He's usually busy at work in the day, so we talked to him for a bit at night. His wife and another family member that's helping there don't speak much English but they are very nice. Their daughter Sabrina is the cutest baby I've ever seen. She's completely "free ranged" and we had so much fun with her. Every day there's a big and nutritious breakfast with lots of fruits. They even provide milk for coffee, that's a big plus for me! The room is big and has lots of furniture. It doesn't have much light, but that's how they keep the room cool during the day.

We had a really great time at Mau's Place. He is an exceptionally friendly and helpful host and he serves very good breakfast. He offered us to use the kitchen and the fridge, though we didnt. The room is quite basic, but definitely enough and the whole house is very clean. All in all great value for money.

the place is really nice not far from the beach in a nice and local neighborhood. we’ve got a very delicious breakfast and the kitchen is available for us to cook so it’s really nice. we could have met Mau’ only the last day but he seemed to be a very nice person and very helpful. Mau’s wife helped us a lot with our phone problem so it was very kind from them.

We loved Maus place so much, great value for money, short walk away from the beach! Clean and comfy room

The staying in Mau's house has been a really good experience. He was really helpful (he even went to look for herbs for curing my friend's running nose) and caring. The house is situated really close to the beach but still in the village, so that you have the chance to experience closeness to the locals as well as enjoy the ocean. Special mention goes to the breakfast, delicious!

Mau and his wife are great people and they made us feel at home! The breakfast was so good and we had a delicious Tanzânia dinner with them! Our best meal in Tanzânia! The house is in a quite place, in a small countriside village, 200m from the beach and from transports.. If I go back zanzibar I'll stay here again, for sure! Thanks Mau and Sabrina! :-)

Very friendly stuff, excellent breakfast. House located in bit dodgy place and to reach it, you have to go through yard, bushes, step over pipes etc. Not a single light in the dark and very uneaven path, so be ready for challange arriving after sunset😁 But locals are very friendly didnt feel uncomfortable at all. Walking distance from Kuza caves and ocean. Right next to the house is cheap but tasty local food stall with chips and meat. Honestly for budget traveller great choice as restaurants are very expensive there. I would give 10 out of 10 but i honestly think price for night are too expensive. Very basic ( its nice and cozy, dont misunderstood me), no wifi and 20€ per night is bit too much. Fair price in my opinion would stay around 8-12€

Clean room, good breakfast, kitchen for using, nice staff, super homey feeling. We will be back:)

The hosts are really nice and helpfull. The food is delicious, the rooms are clean. Mau helped us everytime we asked and gave us advices. His home is in the village so you can see a little bit of daily life of the locals. The beach is really close, just 2 minutes walk. The area is safe and the local people are really nice. You also have nearby shops (best chips are right next to the house), fruits shops, some local restaurants with really good food.

We stayed in a room with bathroom, which was very clean and well prepared. Unfortunately without air-condition nights were very, very hot. We improved the situation taking cold showers during night and was ok for some time. The breakfast was very good. At the time of booking, I knew that I'm not making a reservation in a delux hotel, but in a private accomodation in the middle of Jambiani village, therefore everything was OK.
