Geweldig
Pros:

Wij hebben 3 nachten in dit prachtige verblijf geslapen. Bij aankomst werden wij hartelijk door Vivi ontvangen, met een verse vruchtendrank. Er werd ons verteld dat we een kamer upgrade kregen, super fijn! Vivi stelde gelijk de WiFi voor ons in en gaf ons de nodige informatie. Ook gaf ze gelijk haar telefoonnummer die we konden gebruiken als we wat nodig hadden. Ze vertelde dat het verblijf door vrouwen wordt gerund, op twee mannelijke beveiligers na, voor de veiligheid. Vivi liet ons de kamer zien, wat een mooie kamer! Een groot bed en airco. Het ontbijt was goed, dagelijks verse sap, vers fruit, een ei gemaakt naar keuze, brood en een soort pannenkoeken.
Alles verliep goed. Eigenlijk zouden we 2 nachten blijven, maar het was zo fijn dat we besloten nog een nacht te blijven. Dit was mogelijk en we kregen zelfs korting!
Dit is een goed verblijf om tot rust te komen. Af en toe is er wat muziek te horen, wat van buiten het verblijf afkomt, maar dit was niet storend. Al met al een dikke aanrader!

Profit over people
Pros:

Staff was absolutely lovely, Fifi was very accommodating. Courtyard is well maintained.

Cons:

- beds & pillows were very uncomfortable, always woke up with neck pain.
- a lot of noise in the night but also early in the morning (eg lawn mowing in the morning)
- about the shared toilets and showers … toilet seats were broken with plastic pieces poking out and the seats moving constantly. showers were also a challenge..
- we decided to move out 2 weeks before departure date because we didn’t feel like we could rest properly in this property. Considering the rather disappointing stay, we asked the co-owner, Taha, to at least refund us the city tax for the two weeks we didn’t stay. We understand that the booking was non-refundable. But even refusing to refund the city tax was absolutely ridiculous and greedy considering that he is already making double the profit form booking the room twice.

The interaction with the co-owner was sadly the most disappointing part of the whole stay that cost us a lot of energy, with constant communication with the owner and booking to get things resolved. During our vacation. All the complaints I mentioned to him, he twisted into things I never complained about. His responses to my complaints sounded like a ChatGPT response, so no care for customer satisfaction from the owner’s side sadly.

Nungwu room with garden - clean & nice
Pros:

* Смештак близу плаже, али ипак није на главном путу.
* Особље је љубазно и желе да будете задовољни.
* Фифи менаџер је супер гостопримљива и жели да вам да све потребне информације да се лакше снађете у околини, и има вредне раднице коју су веома младе и љубазне. Неке говоре енглески неке не говоре.
* Све је супер чисто, собе се чисте свакодневно док сте на плажи, и мењају постељину и пешкире сваки дан из лепо украшавање кревета.
* Ми смо били у соби која је имала заједничко купатило. Заједничко купатило има 4 одвојена купатила која се чисто више пута дневно сваки дан, хигијена је стварно добра, тако да нам уопште није сметало што је купатило ван собе. Постоје и собе са сопственим купатилом које су мало скупље.
* Имају огроман и прелеп врт и двориште које је уредно и чисто и рај за очи.
* Ноћу се закључава двориште и имају чувара, тако да су вам и ноћу и дању ствари безбедне.
* Доручак који је био укључен у цену смештаја је био стварно добар. Тањир са воћем + тањир са хлебом, омлетом, кромпиром и палачинкама + цеђени сок од свежег воћа + чај или кафа.
* По вашој жељи у току дана могу да вам спреме разна јела, наравно уз доплату. Храна је укусна, лепо спремљена и хијена је одлична. Нисмо имали проблема. Порција је велика.

Cons:

* Прилазни пут до смешатаја, када сиђете са главног пута је лош, па кофере морате носити у рукама.
* Понекад нестане струје, али дође након неколико сати. Некада се то деси ноћу, некада дању.
* Птице и мачке понекада знају да буду бучне ноћи.

Great value and awesome staff
Pros:

The host Fifi was so kind and welcoming. The property is clean and comfortable. I enjoyed staying in the female dorm. The staff was also lovely and made some tasty breakfasts. The beach is a short walk away and there’s also a convenience store very close by to get water etc…

Cons:

Power cuts were frequent and lasted several hours. A generator would make this place a 10/10

NON FIDATEVI
Pros:

Lo staff è stato comprensivo, e ci ha rimborsato l'importo. Perciò do un 4, invece che 1.

Cons:

Sono andata via appena arrivata. Avevo prenotato un appartamento con cucina (ho chiesto conferma più volte per email al gestore, il quale mi ha confermato più volte che la camera aveva il bagno e la cucina dentro, private!!!), ma al mio arrivo nulla. Una camera molto piccola con un letto! Il bagno addirittura era solo uno stanzino senza finestre con un gabinetto! Il lavandino e la doccia erano fuori dal bagno, vicino al letto. Inoltre camera buia, poche finestre. Neanche un minifrigo, che di solito gli hotel hanno! Poi è molto distante da qualsiasi attrazione turistica.

Pros:

Lo que más me gustó fue el trato por parte del personal. Creo que es lo que realmente le da la esencia a cada lugar y aquí, sin duda, saben cómo hacerlo. Desde la decoración en la cama, hasta la flexibilidad a la hora del desayuno porque nos íbamos pronto a bucear, servicio de taxi a muy buen precio... Sin duda nos hubieron sentir como en casa. La habitación cómoda y limpia. Cama King size, ducha separada del baño, pequeña terraza en el jardín... Gracias a Fifi y a las chicas que hicieron que nuestra estancia fuera perfecta ! Hasta pronto !

Cons:

Todo bien

Bello
Pros:

L'ambiente perfetto, caratteristico, giardino e spazi comuni ben tenuti. Appartamento spazioso, vicinanza al mare e ai ristoranti di Nungwi. Staff molto gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

A Zanzibar manca spesso la luce, si sa, però bisogna avere un generatore di corrente per non lasciare i clienti al buio.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — Si existiera una puntuación infinita, se la daría
Pros:

The Tropinest Bungalows en Nungwi no es un alojamiento: es una experiencia de vida.
Desde el primer segundo entiendes que este lugar es algo extraordinario. Aquí no te tratan como huésped… te reciben como familia.
Todo el personal es absolutamente excepcional: atentos, cariñosos, presentes en cada detalle y siempre dispuestos a cumplir cualquier deseo, incluso antes de que lo pidas. Nunca había vivido un nivel de cuidado tan genuino.
Los desayunos merecen una mención especial porque no son desayunos, son un festín. Un brunch espectacular con fruta fresca perfecta, huevos preparados exactamente como los quieras y delicias hechas a mano con un amor que se siente en cada bocado.
Aquí quiero destacar a Khadija y Light, las chefs, que cocinan con el corazón, y a Mnema, la camarera que sirve los desayunos siempre con una sonrisa y un cariño que ilumina las mañanas.
Las habitaciones son otro sueño: impecables todos los días y decoradas diariamente con flores frescas, un detalle que convierte cada despertar en algo especial. Gracias infinitas a Frida y Samira, que con su dedicación y buen gusto transforman los cuartos en pequeños paraísos.
Y luego está Fifi, la manager, que es sencillamente un ángel. Siempre disponible, siempre sonriendo, siempre resolviendo. Nos ayudó con transporte, cambio de dinero y hasta con cosas impensables: pedimos cartas para jugar y, aunque no tenían, en cinco minutos ya las teníamos. Me quitaron el encendedor en el aeropuerto y en cuestión de minutos apareció uno nuevo. Aquí no existe la palabra “no”.
Un agradecimiento especial a Mohammed, el security, que con una sonrisa fue a comprar tanto el encendedor como las cartas y siempre está dispuesto a hacer cualquier recado con la mejor actitud.
Cada noche compartíamos momentos con el personal, sentados juntos jugando, riendo y creando recuerdos que se quedan para siempre. Si comentabas que te gustaría probar alguna fruta o algo especial, ese mismo día aparecía. Magia pura.
