Tumbo Swahili Villa

Venlig værtinde, tæt på strand og landsby. Stor hjertelighed, hjælpsomhed og samtidig lidt udenfor al ting. Vidunderlig strand med Ebbe og flod. Dejligt easygoing. Vi kunne fint lave mad selv - med områdets grøntsager.

Ind i mellem gik strømmen, men kom hurtigt igen vha generator. På en måde en del af charmen ved at være lige netop i Kiwengwa (Cairo)

Great staff, location on the beach and good value for money

De super vriendelijke gastvrouw heeft ons rondgeleid door het dorp en de verschillende eetgelegenheden laten zien en de winkeltjes. We konden met vragen altijd bij haar terecht. Het appartement ligt midden in een dorpje waar de tijd nog heeft stilgestaan. Maar dit zal niet lang duren, gezien de diverse bouwlocaties. Voor de wat uitgebreidere boodschappen moet je een stukje wandelen, circa 25 min of een taxi nemen. Stroomstoringen kwamen voor maar een generator zorgde ervoor dat we daar nauwelijks last van hadden. Fijne plek en dankzij de gastvrouw voelde we ons al snel thuis.

Niets.

Le bon comportement des gens surtout Talha qui est serviable, généreuse, souriante, cet établissement est bien équipé de tout vraiment une expérience à refaire

Augune chose

Well this places is just amazing, are you going to Zanzibar this is really the place! This small newly built locally owned Hotel is great. Small and Personlig with a kitchen and a big fridge was perfect for me. The rooms was big and beautiful, with the best bed I hade for a long time. Good AC and shower, just perfect. BUT the best was the staff. Super friendly and great. Tala was just a beautiful girl, with a great energy, MashAllah. Se was so helpful to all the guest, best host I ever had any place in the world <3 I just came from Kendwa and Nungwi, before Kiwengwa. Kiwengwa was the best place, now in Uroa but really miss Kiwengwa. A beautiful village and Tumbo Swahili was just 1.min for a beautiful with Zanzibari beach. Really a dream beach! Free sunbeds and this bea beach was also really kice. And the local, beautiful, peaceful, super friendly people. The village was beautiful and peaceful with beautiful vegitation, houses and everything was just a beautiful vibe. Good food and drinks, in all prices. I just really love everything about this place. I really miss it and thinking about comming back. So if you are going to Zanzibar and dont want to stay in a big resort, but still want some good standard and luxery. Book this place before it get full!

"I had an incredible time in Zanzibar smoothly. I stayed in Kiwengwa, and the hospitality blew me away. My host was absolutely wonderful and so kind; she personally organized all my excursions and made sure I had everything I needed. I also want to give a huge praise to my local driver who was professional and friendly throughout the trip. The people in Kiwengwa village are so simple, kind, and welcoming. I felt safe and happy every day. For me, it was a 10/10 experience and I will definitely come back!

Clean. Staff is nice. Close from sea.

When no electricity and water, the rooms were too hot.

Modern, well equipped big apartment house in a poor area, the contrast is big. You can see here the everyday life of the locals. There was everything I needed in the apartment, fridge and warm water also. The rooms were cleaned every day. The host was very kind and helpful in everything. The beach is in a few steps, which is quite calm compared to the other beaches, where tourists are constantly bothered by the shoppers. The wind was also good, so I could kitesurf every day by the BA Kite School. For food, there are not many choices, the Yoga restaurant (which opens only at 11) is very expensive, but the food is good, but there are more cheaper options walking towards Kiwengwa. I had a great time here, so I can recommend the apartment.

In case of power outage (every day) there is no water too, backup power for the water pump would be good.
