Рекомендую, но с оговорками
Pros:

Очень доброжелательный персонал здесь. Особенно молодой человек в ресторан-баре. Ежедневная уборка. Очень вкусная еда, действительно вкусно! Идеально приготовлено. Самая вкусная еда за всю поездку. Шеф-повару браво 👏
Тук-тук от и до аэропорта комплиментарно.
Слышат гостя и стараются сделать пребывание здесь максимально комфортным.

Cons:

Огромный минус для меня это сендфлаи. Только на одной голени я сейчас посчитала 60 укусов. Искусано все тело полностью. За всю мою поездку больше месяца у меня было максимум 10 укусов, но здесь меня просто полностью сожрали. Сильнейшая аллергия и не помогают ни крема, ни таблетки. На теле не одна сотня укусов.
До этого я жила в другом месте острова и ни одного укуса там. Это для меня огромный жирный минус, который перечеркивает все плюсы, потому что ближайший месяц мне потребуется антигистаминное лечение и ходить полностью в закрытой одежде, когда хотелось бы демонстрировать приобретенный загар.
Но я вся покрыта красными пятнами. Это ужас просто. По ночам настоящий ад, когда хочется расчесать всю кожу. Скажу честно, я не стала занижать оценку, так как отель не виноват, но я очень пожалела, что переехала с другого места на острове, где не было этих насекомых. Сейчас травить себя таблетками и гормональными кремами. Всего 4 дня здесь и все тело изуродовано этими укусами.
Про другие минусы умолчу, так как мы их решили и претензий нет никаких.

Pros:

Great location, wonderful hospitality, good food

Cons:

Bathroom was old, very little water from the shower, and the toilet floor was always wet (don’t know where the water was coming from). Lots of flies in the dining area and ticks in the bed - we got bitten everywhere.

Its cheap but not cheerful
Pros:

The location is fabulous. Beachfront property

Cons:

The flies! It was impossible to eat with them. Garbage is just heaped up and they come in swarms. The room smelled awful and musty. Even though i only stayed one night I was charged for a week and the owner refused to meet me when I left which was disappointing.

Unforgettable stay – like leaving a piece of our heart behind!
Pros:

Juani Beach Bungalows is not just a place to stay – it's a feeling, an experience, and a memory that stays with you long after you've left. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms and genuine smiles. The owner is a truly wonderful human being – full of joy, warmth, and a deep desire to make every guest feel at home. His mantra, *Hakuna Matata*, isn’t just a saying here – it’s a way of life. You really don’t need to worry about anything; everything is taken care of with love and attention.
The bungalows are charming and comfortable, perfectly blending with the natural beauty of the surroundings. The beach is simply breathtaking – soft sand, turquoise waters, and unforgettable sunsets. Every evening, we gathered around a fire on the beach with music, dance, and laughter – it felt like pure happiness.
The food was excellent – fresh, flavorful, and lovingly prepared. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. Each and every person made us feel like family, going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Their kindness, joy, and sense of community touched our hearts.
We left Juani Bungalows feeling like we left a piece of our heart behind. It’s more than a destination – it’s a home, a celebration of life, and a reminder of what happiness truly feels like. We can’t wait to come back!

Exceptional
Pros:

The hole of the place. The feeling of being welcome and not as a turist, but as a human. Mussa is the carrier of the place, his way to run this place is so responsible for Natur and respectful to his staff, it all shows. This is the best holiday we ever had, and i give it my warmest recommendations. And I have been traveling to Tanzania for four years now.

Cons:

Mosquitos bites 😄
