The property is a good value for the money you pay. It is located in the heart of Nungwi village near the most scenic beach of Zanzibar ( 3 minutes walk). You will have plenty of cafes around. Kendwa beach is also in the walking distance during low tide. The property had all the necessary commodities for us: clean room, hot running water, air conditioning (fan), mosquito net and repellent. The size of the room was quite spacious with big comfortable bed. The property serves very good breakfast with plenty of local fruits. In addition, local cook is available throughout the day so the guests can order food from the menue. The meals were very good and for very favorable prices as compared with other restaurants in the area. The area of the guesthouse is well secured. It has fensed individual area which is guarded around the clock. The staff is very nice and welcoming speaking sufficient English We enjoyed our stay in this guesthouse.

Our 1 week stay at Papaya Guesthouse was very good. The accommodation is very well located and at an affordable price for which we paid. Although not in front of the beach, it is a 5-minute walk away, as are restaurants, souvenir shops and from the main square at the village, where there is a farmacy, supermarket, bakery, local restaurants. Our room was large and the breakfast was good and varies every day. They also serve lunch and dinner, and the prices are cheaper than the restaurants at the seaside. The staff is wonderful and did everything to please us and make us feel good. Also the owner of the accommodation (a young Ukrainian) was fantastic and relentless to make their time available to help us in a health problem that almost ruined our holidays, and thanks to this young man, we can enjoy the last days. I will stay again at Papaya Guesthouse if I return to Zanzibar.
