Pros:

Un bel accueil dans l’ensemble ensuite a découvrir c’est proche de la plage rien de plus

Cons:

Les coupures d’électricité pratiquement toutes les nuits en plus en été ici (bon achat d un générateur mais pas assez )
Les plages j’ai connu mieux
Pas de commerces à proximité merci les taxis 50$
Pas de piscine, excursion baleine on voit rien avec tous les bateaux
Bref au bout de 4 jours J ai écourté mon séjour et changé pour aller à SUNSETKMUU à 600 m sans regret

Nous sommes partis en courant
Pros:

La localisation et les petits déjeuners

Cons:

Les photos ne correspondent pas : par exemple, le sol des chambres (nous en avions deux) n’étaient pas carrelé… c’était de la peinture. il n’y avait pas de vitres au fenêtres, on entend tout ce qui se passe dans les autres chambres. Les coupures de courant ne sont pas gérées (pas de lampe sur batterie distribuée). Les toilettes et douches n’ont pas fonctionné durant plus de 12h (même quand il y avait de l’électricité). Pas de wifi : c’est celui de l’hôtel d’à coté !

Ottima qualità prezzo peccato per la corrente instabile
Pros:

Il responsabile molto disponibile simpatico e accogliente, la posizione ottima e la colazione molto buona.

Cons:

Non viene segnalato il problema della corrente, si rimane ogni giorno senza corrente dalle 18 alle 23 indicativamente, perché non sono dotati di generatore e a Zanzibar i blackout sono molto frequenti.

Excellent location
Pros:

Location, paradisiac beach nearby, staff attention to detail (shout out to Mr. Kitwana who helped us and exceeded expectations in terms of what we needed at any time of the day - Asante Sana). Cleanliness. Felt welcome and living our 4 fantastic days in Michamvi staying at this small hidden- gem oasis within a short walk from the beach. After a short walk you get to an almost private pool like beach which is quiet, turquoise waters. Amazing views for sunsets and the exclusiveness of the luxury hotels nearby (paying quarter of the value). Breakfast is served at your door and is very good too. Great value for money!

Cons:

Electricity cuts but is not really properties fault just the fact that without ventilation the room gets a bit warm inside.

Pros:

The host was very kind and helpful; he answered all of our questions (and we had a lot of them)! The breakfast was delicious, the place was always clean, and the location was perfect - just one minute from the most beautiful sunset beach on the entire island.

Cons:

A small drawback was the power outages, especially during heavy rains.

Lovelly stayy
Pros:

The property was spacious, very clean, and felt comfortable and safe with daily cleaning and mosquito repellent spraying provided. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming; Isaac regularly checked in and was always available to assist with any requests, including arranging a boda boda driver for us. The location is convenient with many restaurants close by, though withdrawing cash requires travelling a little further. Overall, a wonderful and relaxed stay with excellent hospitality.
