Pros:

Muy lindo hostal. Los dueños son muy buenas personas y tienen una hija deliciosa.. "P".

Nosotros fuimos en temporada baja.. (mayo) por lo que quizás las instalaciones no estaban en su óptimo estado. Pero es un lugar agradable con un espacio común super grande y lindo. Tienen mesa de ping pong y red de volley.

Great - get away from it all.
Pros:

Location right on the beach, surrounded by wildlife with monkeys climbing over the bungalows.
We had 2 double rooms - it said shared bathroom but we had a bathroom in both rooms.
The food was fantastic and the staff very helpful.
Quiet and peaceful - a complete break from it all.

Cons:

No wifi - but we knew this before we arrived. There are places close by that you can go to to use wifi if you buy a drink.
Not the easiest place to reach by public transport - but what an experience! ( we were back packing)
We changed our itinerary and instead of travelling to Dar Es Salem went direct by boat to Zanzibar arranged by Captain Rahim (tour guide) which was a great option and only took 2 hours and at a great price.

Beautiful natural resort perfect for relaxation
Pros:

If you are searching for remote quiet relaxing beach- this is for you. I loved everything. The staff is extremely friendly. Madam cook is excellent, she really tried to indulge my preferences, the cabin is lovely like all the facilities: minimalist intervention in natural sandy surroundings, natural materials . The monkeys are all around, sound of bush babies at night made this stay unique.

Passable
Cons:

it seemed like this was a quite nice place a few years ago! but when we arrived there was no staff at the location to find! We had to wait 30-60 minutes till somebody arrived! (The person was really kind and arranged everything for the next day to go to Zanzibar) It also looked like the room we booked was the only clean one the other ones were a total mess! the place looked like we were the first guests since a few weeks or even months. so all in all it could be a wonderful and lonely place to relax and even to have a really good time when some more guests would stay there and the place get a renovation. One last thing to say: There was no drinking water a the accommodation!! and you have to drive half an hour to buy some. we were lucky to bring our own but this is an absolutely no go

Great setting but room for improvement
Pros:

The setting was gorgeous. It’s a lovely place to stay at and relax.
The food was very good too, we were very happy with that.

Cons:

The salty showers! For 40$, we should be able to shower after swimming in the ocean (which is very salty)
We liked it enough to stay but I think it is not acceptable.

The staff was not always very friendly and helped us arrange the trip to Zanzibar ( for a lot more money than the normal price of course) but didn’t seem to care enough about helping guests, which is a shame.
