The staff and surroundings were extremely friendly and open. Our room was perfect and simple for our stay on Mafia. The food served was very fresh and always on point. Another good thing is the location of the property, just at the beach, with beach lounges and activities in case you want to see some more than just being in the hotel. Since someone is always around you can be sure that all of your belongings are a 100% safe and you can even decide to leave your room open or leave your phones to charge somewhere out.

We had a wonderful stay with Antonia and Hamisi. The bungalow was so peaceful. It's tucked away in the forest, but close enough to town for an easy walk or quick boda ride. We loved the private outdoor shower beneath the big tree. We even saw a bush baby while eating dinner on the terrace. There’s a quiet, sandy beach among the mangroves just below the bungalow and they have stand up paddle boards which we took out to watch sunset from the water. Breakfast was great, with some of the best coffee we’ve had in Tanzania and Antonia had baked us fresh bread in the morning. We booked for one night and stayed for three but wish we’d had more time before our flight!

The place was right on the beach with beautiful views. The rooms are basic but comfortable and good for the price. The owner PJ and the rest of the staff are really friendly and helpful. Best budget accomodation in Kilidoni.

What an unexpected gem at the end of our holiday. It only has 3 rooms with amazing view and lovely staff. Our 3 year old daughter loved Ali who was so kind to play we her constantly. We stayed here 3 nights which was perfect because it is very secluded. Perfect for chill and some excursions. Food was lovely too. Thanks all!

FAQs about hotels in Kilindoni

What guests said about Kilindoni:

6.0

Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time.

Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time. Still underdeveloped with not too many locals handling foreign languages but nice people. A lot of chinese low key staff in the boutiques but sometimes quite pricey. Even the beer is cheaper in Europe ! Kilindoni is the main spot and if you don't find a certain thing here , you won't be able to find it on the other part of the island. Island still lacks promotion ( advertising ) and I was disappointed that I wasn't able to find those T shirts with Mafia logo or saying something about the island. I went there for diving - and it turned out to be the most expensive one I had in whole my life - so resume to whale shark watching.until the government change its mind and stops screwing tourists. ( I hope this will happen in the future ). Regarding the diving: I'm an instructor so can lay down a professional thought: good but not outstanding as they brag ... and not worth the money.
