Nungwi Inn has definitely seen better days. The only good thing about the room was the air-conditioner. Other than that NOTHING. Bathroom was terrible. Bed had an old foam mattress that we rolled into the centre all night. Back ache in the morning! Not a lot to say about it other than there are far better places for the price. More

We stayed here at the end of our tour of Kenya and Tanzania. We were impressed with the food, lots of variety both local and western dishes to chose from - the fresh lobster seemed great value for money and a massive portion! This hotel is right on the beach so great for what we wanted after 2 weeks of... More

I am surprised at the negative reviews of the Nungwi Inn. Maybe it was people on a short holiday and it wasn't what they had hoped. My wife and I stayed here after being on the road in Africa for about 7 months and it was a very welcomed break. The first place in months with air conditioning and it... More

A freind and I arrived at this hotel, checked in and realised after an hour at the beach that we had not discussed price (a massive error on our part!) We approached the reception again, and were told that a night at the hotel would be DOUBLE the original price, that the tourist info office had quotedl!! They told us... More

Bathroom was dirty and shower had almost no water pressure. (When you flushed the toilet, the shower stopped working entirely for 5 minutes.) Grimy and not well maintained. The restaurant serves excellent food, but it's painfully slow and the flies at the tables are unbearable. The location right on the beach is superb, but I think you can do better. More

We stayed at three places in Zanzibar and this was the most expensive one. It was also the one we were the least happy with. We had a double room with sea-view, and the surroundings where really cute. However, we where supposed to have AC and there was an AC in the room but it never worked during our stay.... More

The worst hotel we have been to in Zanzibar. The hotel is located near a beach, and this is the reason we chose it. The room is small and the double bed is tiny. I am 185cm (6 feet), but the bed was too small for me. The beach on which the hotel is located on is very disappointing. It... More

This hotel lies on a small strech of beach to the south of Nungwi - southern part of "South beach". There is not much to do there but lie and relax on the beach. There are no sunbeds or shade on the beach so do bring your own beachtowel and lots of sunscreen. Nearby there is some tour operators and... More
