Guest Reviews

• Elena (10/5): Прекрасное место, чтоб почувствовать колорит Африки - Чисто, удобно, в доступности пляж, прекрасный персонал! Вкусные завтраки Надо понимать, что жильё около дороги. Берите с собой беруши, шумновато
• Nayala (5/5): Precisa de renovações! - O staff do hotel foi atencioso e percebeu o nosso lado. As fotos não correspondem a realidade. O alojamento tem um ar antigo e pesado. Precisa de manutenção e atenção tanto no exterior como no interior. Reservamos para 3 noites e só ficamos 1 porque na conseguimos dormir bem na primeira noite. A localização também não é a melhor, junto à estrada principal muito escura e movimentada
• My (2/5): - Det som var plus var att det fanns en AC Bilderna och känslan man fick av de stämde inte överens med verkligheten. Var inte en jättevälkomnande känsla när man kom in genom gaten, mycket som inte var färdiggjort kändes det som. Rummet luktade unket, frukosten var inte alls tilltalande och god. Finns andra bättre ställen för samma summa.
• Capucine (9/5): Bien - L’emplacement, petit déjeuner, chambre spacieuse Pas d’eau chaude
• Emanuel (8/5): Acceptabil - Ne a placut foarte mult micul dejun Nu ne a placut locația ,că e aproape de centru și e gălăgie ,când am ajuns nu le a apărut că aveam rezervare ,cand am ajuns ne a cerut bani in plus pentru ședere aproximativ 15% din total ,ne au încuiat afara și am sărit poarta sa intru ,ni s a făcut curat in camera doar o data în 10 zile ,necesita renovare
• elena (8/5): - Price, staff, AC
• Carolina (1/5): Not happy. - This place it’s not like the photos. Since we arrived we didn’t feel comfortable, door knob was loose and they didn’t fix it. Grimy walls. Not enough towels, poor shower water. We found bedbugs, my whole body was stung, they didn’t want to recognise that they had bed bugs. We had to leave the hotel at midnight because they didn’t even want to change our room for one day. The new hotel we went told us bed bugs are a big problem in Africa and they have to take care of it and disinfect often. The treat they gave me when we were complaining about what happened to me, which was basically a health problem.
• SORIN COSTEL (8/5): - Personalul Curățenia în spatiile comune Micul dejun putin Nu s-a făcut curățenie în cameră în 7 zile Am primit un singur prosop pentru 7 zile Camerele, curtea, terasa, bucătăria, exteriorul hotelului trebuie urgent renovate Nu te poți simți bine în concediu doar dacă personalul este amabil.... Trebuie sa ai și condiții bune...PREFERAM SA PLĂTESC MAI MULT DAR SA AM CONDIȚII MAI BUNE Stațiunea este aglomerată... Trafic haotic și intens... În timpul zilei ești acostat și deranjat de minim 200 ori... Toți vor sa îți vândă ceva... Foarte neplăcut... Aproape ca te simți jefuit...

• Marina (1/5): Nie wieder – katastrophale Zustände - nur das Personal war nett Das Wasser in Dusche und Waschbecken war salzig und kochend heiß – weder duschen noch Zähneputzen oder Händewaschen war möglich. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht, die Wände waren verschimmelt, der Geruch unerträglich. Auf unsere Bitte um ein frisches Handtuch am zweiten Tag wurde nicht reagiert. Die Lage ist extrem ungünstig, weit ab vom Schuss. Wir hatten sechs Nächte gebucht, sind aber nach zwei Nächten abgereist, weil es schlicht unzumutbar war.
• Ramy (10/5): Don't look anywhere else - The place was great in every way especially for the value. Nothing beats it in my travel experience. We booked 4 nights and we ended up extending to 14 nights. The room was clean with a fan and ac along with a private bathroom with hot and cold water. They even have parking space.We felt very safe and welcome by the staff. They cleaned our room and did our laundry upon request. It is located on the main road with the best coffee shop in nungwi only 3 min away. There is also a bakery and a few restaurants within 5 min walk. The beach was less than a 15 min walk away. The owner Imran is super nice and great human being. Drulla who also works there was just as nice. He showed us a shortcut to the beach and even showed me the nightlife. Paulina was a sweetheart, she cleaned our room and did our laundry. There was also another lady but I do not know the name.  Everyone was amazing!
• Alan (10/5): Exceptional - Really appreciate the host’s kindness and flexibility with early check-in and late check-out during the low season. The location is great, just off the roadside and traveling by local bus (Dala dala) was a breeze. Highly recommend!
• Jakub (8/5): Nice place - Everything was fine, AC worked and the bathroom was clean. Great price. There was some construction going on around the house plus the lock in the door had the tendency to get stuck.
• Anthonia (8/5): Very good -
• Pressiana (9/5): Superb - The staff is very welcoming, super nice people. The shower had hot water and great pressure. The only inconvenience was the frequent power outages, but they are a problem for the whole town.
• Tim (9/5): Good value for money - Very helpful team. It’s a basic accommodation, but considering the price it’s really good value for money. Nice and changing breakfast. Some rooms don’t have window glasses. We thankfully received a different room upon request. There are water and power outages, which seem usual on the island.
• Kinga (10/5): Amazing stay ❤️ - Everything! The host and staff are sooo nice. The host helped us with everything. Room was clean, breakfasts are delicious. Although the room is located in the heart of Nungwi village, we didn’t feel unsafe and it was a great experience to be so close to local Zanzibar people :) shops and pharmacies are close. Around 10-15 minutes walking distance to the beach, depending to which area of Nungwi Beach you want to go to. Highly recommend. Thank you for such an amazing stay ❤️ Nothing!!!
• Alphonce (10/5): It was a very beautiful weekend spending at the raha house - It was very clean and quite accessible, the customer service was top notch Nothing really
• Enikő (10/5): Best - Everyone was very kind, best location, nice staff and clean rooms.
• K. (8/5): Very good -
• Clodagh (9/5): Superb -
• Svetlinak (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean house, comfortable bed and delicious breakfast.
• Ana (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was excellent! We had a choice each morning and always had wonderful fruit or fresh juices prepared. The room had air conditioning and a good WiFi connection, and it was cleaned every few days. Hosam, the host, was amazing. He showed us the shortcut to the beach and gave us a lot of useful information. Everything was great.
• Meiling (10/5): Exceptional - helpful staff
• Farren (7/5): Big room and bathroom. Clean and safe - The room was large as well as a good size bathroom and a cupboard and it was clean. Good breakfast. Felt safe Approximately 15 plus minutes from the beach. They did not clean my room or dirt bin I had to ask. Some but not all staff could assist with questions The bed was not very comfortable
• Fatima (10/5): The highlight of my Zanzibar visit! - Cleanliness of the room Price is absolutely amazing, but what I loved the most was the outstanding customer service of the whole team. Maryam the cook was very kind and woke up earlier on days I had scheduled day trips. Most of all, Hosam at the reception is the best I interacted with and thanks to whom I’ll definitely be back at the same hotel. The man is “on a mission” as he worded it, he gets you whatever you need and right away. Thanks so much for everything, Hosam! 🙏🏽 Nothing! It is a 10-minute walk from the beach, but for what you get instead, I think it is absolutely fine. It is also opposite a nice restaurant that is very reasonable and away from the other tourist traps.
• Timon (9/5): Superb -
• Mikhail (9/5): Nice place to stay - These guys really care about their rating, so they will do everithing to make your stay as good as possible The only minus was slow wifi, but they said it will be fixed
• Reddy (10/5): Raha house is a perfect accomodation for those seeking to reside in Nungwi - The host was extremely helpful and kind to us during our stay. We visited Nungwi from South Africa and we also arrived very early in the morning around 3am and the host was ready to check us in and welcome us to Zanzibar. The rooms are so well equipped with everything you need. It is also a new development so rest assured that everything is clean. The beddings were all new and had such a lovely odor. There were also mosquito nets covering all windows as well as the bed itself. The breakfast was also very good and well worth it. The host even made arrangements for our breakfast to be made extra early since I had tours booked for the entire week. I really enjoyed my stay at Raha House and it is so close to all of the tourist attractions in Zanzibar making it an ideal spot for your stay. There are so many restaurants near to the hotel from a walking distance which made the location even more favorable. Nungwi beach is also a 5 minute walk away through an easy shortcut route that the host showed us. My friend also got some heat rash during his stay at Zanzibar and the host assisted so much in getting the correct medication. I will definitely stay at Raha House when I visit Zanzibar again. Thank you Awesome for making our stay a memorable one.
• So (10/5): Spacious and clean rooms! - Recently refurbished property owned by a local family (they are very nice), Very recommended in order to support sustainable tourism!! The room, bathroom and communal areas are spacious with all what you need, very clean. Big mention to the breakfast which was very tasty, consisting of fresh fruit, coffee/tea/milk, water, crepes, scramble eggs with veggies and toast. And it is served until 11! The location is good as it is few minutes walking to the beach (ask in the reception how to get there) and you have bars and stores nearby. If you need taxi you just need to go in front of the door as they are passing constantly. Even if the guesthouse is by the main road, our room was quiet. Another plus is that they have private parking! And lastly, wifi works perfectly.
• Natalia (10/5): Great! - Raha House is a locally owned guesthouse that sits by the main road in Nungwi. It’s newly renovated with very clean rooms and a nice terrace where you can enjoy a refreshing sea breeze all day long, even though it’s very hot outside. It’s run by an amazing group of people that make you feel like home. I extended my stay by a few days, it was so hard to say goodbye. The place is not by the beach, but you can get there in a few minutes if you know the shortcut; ask at the front desk and they will show you the way. The breakfast is huge and consists of a variety of things: fruit, bread, creeps, eggs prepared in the way you like best. There’s also a nice local restaurant across the street and some street food stands that operate all night long in case you need a midnight snack (try their rojo and fresh juice, they’re fantastic).
• Mancey-jones (10/5): Comfortable, clean and enjoyable - This is a newly refurbished property so everything is new and clean The host is very helpful and tried to make my stay the best he could It’s hard to think of anything. Probably leaving
