I recently stayed at Lala Salama Kendwa for 4 nights and had an incredible experience. The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the stunning Kendwa beach. The rooms were clean, modern, and very comfortable, offering a great balance of style and functionality. It was both AC and fan in the room. What truly stood out, though, was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always willing to help. A special mention to the manager, who went above and beyond to ensure an extra night of stay during New Years celebration. If you’re looking for a relaxing and memorable stay in Kendwa, I highly recommend Lala Salama Kendwa. Can’t wait to return!

Amazing stay at Pumzika. Only a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Rooms were clean, had AC and a safe. Mustafa, the host couldn’t be more helpful. He was always on hand to give the best recommendations and to organise whatever tours you wish. If you want to help support the local community in Kendwa , I would highly recommend staying here.

Our stay at this guesthouse was wonderful. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were delicious, varied, and filling. The location is great, as you can walk to two of the best beaches — Kendwa or Nungwi. It takes about 25–30 minutes on foot to reach each beach. We are very satisfied with our stay. There’s also a great restaurant just about 50 meters away, where the food is excellent.

This is one of the best places I have stayed at. The room was great (we stayed in the new bungalows - highly recomend), the staff was super friendly and the place in general has a great vibe. We stayed there for a week, we were working remotely so we used their "digital nomads space". The interent worked pretty well 90% of the time. The restaurant had decent options and it wasn't pricy at all.

The place is very nice and super clean, all the staff is amazing, super kind and they clean your room every day. It has a nice area for breakfast, all the facilities are good, aircon works well, wifi is fast, swimming pool is nice, it has sun beds, etc. The breakfast is big enough, there are different options, the location is amazing, just a short walk to a nice beach, and a few minutes walking from different restaurants. The people around the area are very nice and friendly, we felt safe walking around all the time. A big Thanks to all the people from Ondo House, specially to Ali and Hassan, they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during our stay, they helped us to arrange taxi, helped us to go around the ATM, they are very kind and good people! I highly recommend this place, we will definitely come back next season :)

The hotel was great! it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The hotel is run by a father-son duo who take care of all your needs be it with places to visit, arranging transport or keeping your food ready at the in house restaurant if your arriving late or from a long day of being out and about. The staff is equally helpful and will cater to all your needs. The rooms were big & clean. The swimming pool & the garden is great to just hang out in. The quality & taste of breakfast, lunch and dinner were very impressive. The walk from the hotel to the beach is just around 5 minutes. Kudos to the team at Ocean Breeze Boutique Hotel. 10/10. Will definitely recommend to people who are visiting the island and need a place to stay a little away from the beach and crowds.

There were also 5 kitten and their mother, it was great fun to watch them run around and play together! We would recommend this place to everyone going to Nungwi!
