Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Ein wunderschöner Ort zum Erholen!
Wir haben – nach Kilimanjaro und Safari mit sozusagen Vollpension – eine Ferienwohnung mit Selbstverpflegung auf Sansibar gesucht und sind bei Ina und Msuli im Kimurimuri fündig geworden. Unsere Erwartungen wurden voll erfüllt: die Wohnung großzügig geschnitten, ruhig gelegen, sogar ein lokales Restaurant fußläufig erreichbar, gute Hinweise („kauft Gemüse und Obst auf dem Weg nach Pongwe“), zum lokalen Supermarkt wurden wir gefahren.
Es war traumhaft, vielen Dank, wir kommen gerne wieder!

A perfect vacation
The apartment is beautiful, comfortable and cozy, fully equipped with all you need for a perfect family vacation. The location is amazing - the beach is on the doorstep. It's a private beach on the Pongwe bay, quiet and hidden from all the crowded beaches of the island. The owners, Msuli and Ina, are welcoming, very friendly and very helpful. Msuli took us to the local markets to buy fruits, meat, and other supplies and arranged for us to get fresh seafood directly from the fisherman. The staff, headed by Muana, is on the premises at all times and helps with whatever comes up.
We would go back in a heartbeat!

Heaven in Pongwe
Words can't describe how wonderful this experience was. The apartments are amazing and well worth the money. There is everything you need to cook nice meals with fresh and seafood if you whish. And affordable places to eat out if you prefer Serviced is really what you get both by the host and all the friendly help. There is always someone ready to help you even though your privacy is respected. The village is lovely and although it would be considered poor by European standards, villagers are welcoming, always with an heartwarming smile and eager to interact. My two teenage boys loved playing soccer with the local boys and were shown the local school and escorted through the village for an inside tour and ended up playing in the local soccer field with local teenage boys. We gave some chocolates to local kids in the beach and in retribution one of them climbbed a coconut tree to present is with the fresh fruit and water. Lovely . The walks are amazing ️. From desert beachs, to coastal woods teaming with birds and bush babies. You can get lost and love it! Ina and Msuli were also incredibly helpful in advising us on buying local fresh produce, booking local trips and activities and getting transfers. The only thing I didn't like about Pongwe was how short the days were. 12 hours of daylight were not enough to enjoy the outdoors. Luckily the apartments are comfortable and we could entertain ourselves through the long nights. We stayed for 6 nights but could stay for a month!! See you soon Ina, Msuli, Msana (sorry for not spelling your name correctly) and all the Masai princes who made our stay memorable!!

A wonderful beach hideaway
The villa, the beach and surrounding jungle and sea views were amazing! We stayed with Ina and Suli (who both spoke fluent English and were very attentive) for five happy days. We really enjoyed the beach, pool and walking to the local restaurants all accessible along the beach, both in daytime and after dark. We arrived on New Year’s Eve and were immediately welcomed into the planned festivities. Good food and good company - we would return in a heartbeat. Remember to pack your swimming shoes as the ancient coral is sharp underfoot when tide is low.

Paradise
Kimurimuri is a hidden gem, perfectly situated at a beautiful quiet beach in Pongwe, far away from the hustle of the more touristic spots. The apartment is spacious with handmade furniture and bright textiles, equipped with everything you could ask for. The garden is beautifully kept and offers a deep private pool. Ina and Msuli are the best hosts, always helpful and with the best tipps what to do on the island. The arrange snorkeling trips as well as go to the market with you or help you find the best spice farm sand hotspots in Stonetown. It’s simply paradise!

Wunderschöne Location - sehr zu empfehlen
Wir waren für eine Woche mit unseren fast erwachsenen Kindern dort und haben einen größeren Teil des Hauses am Strand bewohnt.
Das Haus ist perfekt und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Betten sind mit Moskitonetzen ausgestattet und sehr bequem. Die Kücheneinrichtung hat das was man braucht. Es gibt in der Wohnung freies Wasser zu trinken und auch die Warmwasserversorgung in den Bädern ist einwandfrei.
Die gesamte Anlage ist wunderschön und sicher angelegt. An den wunderbaren Strand gelangt man durch eine Gartenpforte.
Bei Ebbe kann der schöne Pool genutzt werden.
In der Nähe gibt es einige schöne Rstaurants, in denen gegessen werden aknn, wenn man nicht selbst kochen möchte.
Ina und Msuli sind liebevolle Gastgeber und stehen für Fragen, Einkaufstouren und Ausflugstipps (sowie deren Organisation) jederzeit zur Verfügung.
Herz, was willst du mehr!?!

About the neighbourhood
Pongwe village is a sleepy village which has been less affected by tourism than many of the other Zanzibar beaches. The local population are still warm and friendly and this attracts many guests to return to this corner of Zanzibar year on year. The beach is very tranquil beside the calm blue waters of the Indian Ocean. It's the longest coconut fringed beach in Zanzibar. The beach is perfect for long walks and swims. The whole beach is protected by an offshore reef which keeps the inner waters calm and safe. Snorkelling and boat trips can also be arranged to the reef.
Getting around
You can easily catch a Dala Dala, rent a car or taxi with driver to find your way around.
