Pros:

Fijne kamers met lekkere bedden. Enorm vriendelijke personeel. En behulpzaam zo konden wij de kamer langer gebruiken omdat die na ons niet in gebruik was erg fijn :)

Nog mooier dan op de foto's!
Pros:

Wat een fijn verblijf! Kleinschalig met een heerlijk zwembad en binnen no time op het strand. Bungalows zijn schoon en modern en het ziet er echt nog mooier uit dan op de foto's. Personeel is echt super lief, vrolijk, en helpen je echt met alles! Van het regelen van leuke excursies, taxi's, fijne restaurants tot een rit naar de ATM. Eten is ook ontzettend lekker en pluspunt is het beach hotel van dezelfde eigenaren waar je gratis gebruik kunt maken van de strandbedjes.

Cons:

Niks!

Buona struttura ma con qualcosa da migliorare.
Pros:

Il silenzio e la tranquillità. La gentilezza del personale. La colazione anche se non a buffet.

Cons:

Il menù poco vario. La struttura convenzionata sulla spiaggia era un po’ troppo distante. Qualche rumore di troppo per i lavori di ampliamento in corso.

Einfach fantastisch
Pros:

Es ist einfach ein kleines Paradies. Ausserhalb vom Hotel ist es teils sehr schmutzig und man wird ständig angesprochen und dann kommt man ins Hotel und findet Ruhe und Entspannung.
Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und jeden Tag gab es etwas andere Leckeres., das Allacarte Essen war auch immer sehr lecker.
Das Personal ist einfach grossartig, sie lesen einen jeden Wunsch von den Augen an ohne aufdringlich zu sein.
Es ist ein sehr kleines Hotel mit ca. 10 Zimmetn, so dass man nicht nur ein Nummer ist sondern sehr persönlicher Gast.
Der Pool ist sehr schön.
Ich würde jedem dad Hotel empfehlen.
Es gibt ein Partnethotel Dhow Beach Hotel, direkt sm Strand, dort kann man entspannt am Strand luegen

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wundervoller Aufenthalt im African Bungalows!
Pros:

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt im African Bungalows und können dieses Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den hervorragenden Service und die außergewöhnliche Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter. Das gesamte Team ist stets aufmerksam, herzlich und bemüht, jeden Wunsch der Gäste zu erfüllen. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und bestens aufgehoben.

Ein großer Pluspunkt ist außerdem das Nachbarhotel direkt am Meer, das ebenfalls zum Hotel gehört und das man jederzeit nutzen kann. Dort kann man entspannen, die wunderschöne Aussicht genießen und wird genauso herzlich empfangen. Auch dort sind alle Mitarbeiter unglaublich freundlich und sorgen dafür, dass man sich rundum wohlfühlt.

Die entspannte Atmosphäre, die Gastfreundschaft und die Hilfsbereitschaft des gesamten Teams haben unseren Urlaub zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit und die schönen Erinnerungen.

Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können das African Bungalows jedem empfehlen, der einen entspannten und angenehmen Aufenthalt auf Sansibar verbringen möchte.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 von 5 Sternen – absolute Empfehlung! 🌴☀️😊

Hotel fantástico con un personal muy amable y agradable
Pros:

Un hotel tranquilo, habitaciones grandes y cama muy cómoda, con todo lo necesario para hacerte la estancia agradable.
El personal siempre pendiente de ti para que no te falte nada, son muy agradables y amables. Un hotel para recomendar 100%.
El desayuno excepcional, muy rico y variado.

Cons:

No tiene nada que ver con el hotel, ya que se merece una puntuación alta que es la que le he dado, pero creo que es bueno mencionar que la salida a la playa se podría mejorar, la mejor opción, yo creo, que es salir por la parte de la playa publica

African Bungalows förgyllde vår resa!
Pros:

Vi är väldigt nöjda med vår vistelse hos African Bungalows, det är ett mindre hotell vilket vi tyckte gav en mysig atmosfär. Mycket fina rum, fint område med pool och resturang. Det var nära och smidigt att ta sig ner till havet. Vi vill säga ett stort tack till personalen som förgyllde vår resa. Personalen var otroligt snälla och hjälpsamma. De är väldigt måna om att gästerna ska ha en bra vistelse på hotellet. Överlag är detta ett suveränt hotell som jag starkt rekommenderar om man besöker Nungwi!

Cons:

Har inget ont att skriva om hotell, vi är nöjda med allt!

Fantastisch gelegen hotel met aardig personeel!
Pros:

Omdat onze accommodatie gerenoveerd werd mochten we in het Dow Beach Boutique Hotel. Prachtig gelegen!
Fantastisch uitzicht op de zee en alle activiteiten op het strand. Uniek omdat dit gedeelte van Nungwi authentiek is en het leven van Zanzibar te zien is.
Heerlijk eten, ontzettend aardig personeel (Magdalena 😀), altijd bereid om je te helpen, mooi schoon hotel.
Vanuit het hotel werd ons een late check-out aangeboden.

Just a paradise
Pros:

My daughter and I stayed there for 10 days. It was amazing. The owner and the staff were always helpful and welcoming. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. We had a swimming pool with sun loungers just in front of our terrace.
It is a kind of boutique resort, very cosy and relaxing, with lots of greenery. Meals were delicious, freshly made and diversified. 5-minute walk to the beach and the nearest shops. Highly recommend.

Cons:

Nothing.

Sakin , huzurlu
Pros:

African Bungalows’ta eşimle 6 gece harika bir konaklama deneyimi yaşadık. Burası gerçekten huzurlu ve sıcak bir atmosfere sahip küçük bir cennet gibi. Özellikle çalışanların ilgisi ve samimiyeti bizi çok etkiledi; daha ilk andan itibaren kendimizi evimizde gibi hissettik.

Odalar oldukça temiz, konforlu ve özenliydi. Bahçe ve havuz alanı çok güzel düzenlenmiş, gün içinde dinlenmek için ideal. Kahvaltılar güzeldi; taze, lezzetli ve özenle hazırlanmış.

Konumu da çok avantajlı hem sakin bir ortamda kalıyorsunuz hem de plaja, restoranlara ve diğer yerlere yürüyerek kısa sürede ulaşabiliyorsunuz.

Kesinlikle gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye ederiz🇹🇷🌴✨

Udany pobyt w Nungwi
Pros:

Bardzo miła obsługa, pani menadżer zawsze na posterunku, pomocna. Właściciel pomógł nam nawet zorganizować leki dla żony. Śniadania obfite, smaczne, pokoje czyste. Do plaży dość blisko, ale droga nieco zawiła. Basen czysty, okolica zadbana. Polecam.

Pros:

Lovely location, very close to the beach. Clean and spacious rooms with an awesome garden and swimming pool. Great for relaxing and wonderful for solo travelers, couples, retirees etc

Cons:

Hostess was a bit pushy with drinks throughout the stay. There was also some confusion on arrival (partly my fault as I'd given 2 possible check-on dates) but the hotel didn't confirm the right date and as a result was surprised about my check in date and hadn't ordered a taxi for me as asked for.

Its Paradise!
Pros:

The hotel was exceptional. We loved the service, the attention to detail, the room, and the food—everything exceeded our expectations. The staff truly stood out: they were always smiling, eager to help, and genuinely committed to serving the guests. This is definitely a hotel I would recommend without any hesitation.
The attentive service and the owner’s special gesture of greeting each guest make the stay feel truly welcoming and like being at home. I remember a few names out of the all staff that was great, Angelina, Magdalena, Elizabeth... ALL GREAT!

It’s also important to note that the Bungalows hotel has a sister property right on the beach. You can go there for breakfast, use the deck with the sun loungers, and pay either there or at the Bungalows hotel. You can also use the showers and towels. It’s about a 500–600 meter beautiful walk to get there, and it’s an excellent option if you want to spend the whole day at the beach.

Cons:

If I had to mention something I didn’t like—though I already knew it when booking—it would be that the hotel is not located directly on the beach. To reach the beach, even though the walk is very short, you have to pass through a few alleys that are not in the best condition. However, I don’t believe this takes away from the quality of the hotel or the satisfaction I had during my stay, and it certainly did not affect the way I experienced my vacation.
But remember the "brother" hotel on the beach... this helps a lot...

Peaceful oasis in the middle of Nungwi
Pros:

The staff was very friendly - I like that when I told them about our leaving in the middle of the night for our flight they proactively offered to switch the free breakfast for a free dinner.
All of the staff was absolutely friendly.
The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was fairly modern.

Cons:

It’s not a beach hotel, which is fine - the area is like a peace oasis in the otherwise loud Nungwi Beach area. That said, it’s pretty hard to find it and the roads to/from the beach aren’t amazing. If you’re planning on walking around, be ready for some broken down roads, confusing streets, and some street vendors around.
