Casa Umoja

Lots of green. Could be very beautiful place if well administered.

Wifi never work. The room very dark , no AC. Poor breakfast.

Hotel is an oasis! You open the gates and it's like wow! It's so green nothing like the surroundings. Loved all the plants! Simone made us feel very welcome! We had a lovely bungalow with the terrasse, which I believe Simone has upgraded us as we were traveling with the 2 year old. I should also mention that were traveling in November which is I believe is not season there therefore breakfast which was included was not the greatest but as we didn't see many people that stayed in the hotel I presume you cannot expect the staff to prepare the same as you would on the busier days. In Zanzibar we have stayed in 4 different towns and the only place where we got bitten by mosquitos was Nungwi. I believe having those plants around attract more mosquitos but at the same time it has rained daily so maybe it was just a period and bad timing. Overall, great stay and would come back!

Casa Umoja in a nutshell: Paradise! Nungwi and its beaches are constantly enterntained and busy, there is a lot of commercial infrastructure, lights, music, people. But then, just 20 meters from the beach, there is a hidden Oasis you can truly call paradise, surrounded by flowers and plants, nice and quiet: Casa Umoja. It is a wonderful place with lots if shared spaces to use in the garden such as hammocks, couches, swings. There are calm and peaceful dogs that always keep you company and the breakfast is a fresh delight in the morning. We were also allowed a late check-out upon request to enjoy the reef during low tide one more time. Back in Nungwi, I would ONLY come back to this place, knowing its exist. We has a truly magical time.

We stayed for nights and didn’t have any housekeeping checking in during that time, although the house guides states “every other day” but I am sure if it would have bothered us and we’d have asked for it they’d have immediately looked after it.

Amazing location and hotel. I really enjoyed the breakfast and everything they offered. The staff were very friendly.

I would just have liked to have had small bottles of shampoo or conditioner. But that would’ve been an added bonus.

everything, location perfect, grounds beautiful, room perfect, safe, clean, incredible yoga Shala!

Location is excellent and only a few steps to the beach and restaurants etc. We stayed in the main building upstairs and appreciated being surrounded by greenery and a breeze. Room was a good size and functional. Breakfast was simple, healthy and filling.

Our room was dark and a bit claustrophobic due to the extra bed/furniture and the non-standard shape of the room. I can appreciate that it would provide a cool retreat at the hottest times of the year, but honestly I didn’t want to spend much time in the room. I didn’t feel the facilities represented value for money compared to other offerings in the area.

Location is great. In quiet area but just next to everything (restaurants, bars, sea, etc)

Rooms are really dark. But that is africa style

The breakfast are nice. different kinds of fruit with eggs and staple food

Good location and very friendly staff!

The place is very nice, clean and the stuff is wonderful. It is close to the beach and the surroundings are just beautiful!
