Pros:

Had my private room with bathroom, spent a comfortable week at papaya.
There are no negative really, it was low season but , still, everything was fine, breakfast was good, the wifi worked well.
Its a perfect budget accommodation, for me that need a private room.
The beach is very close, as plenty of shops ,cafe , restaurants etc.
Don't forget to take your earpods with you in Nungwi, you'll be harassed much less by vendors, sellers, bikers, taxi, tuktuk, pushers tput operators etc etc etc(that what really annoyed me of Nungwi)

Cons:

Nothing
