"Not a functioning hotel - unsafe and abandoned"

1.0

Our experience with Ellavita Cottages on September 9, 2025, was truly unsettling. We arrived at 4 p.m. to find the place completely abandoned. We were let in by two men off the street, who said were not staff and who showed us a room that smelled incredibly musty, as if nobody entered in months. After viewing several other rooms, all in the same state, they confirmed no one else was staying there and the manager was away. The rooms lacked working locks or safe boxes, no staff were present and, with strangers freely coming and going, we felt extremely unsafe. We left to find another hotel, and when we returned to drop off the key, the entire place was dark and without power. Another man was sitting in the dark courtyard and he called the manager. We told the manager we felt unsafe, left the key, and left. We’ve traveled all over the world and are not easily scared, but this place gave us the creeps. I feel completely fooled by the few glowing reviews this “hotel” has — and honestly wonder if they’re even real. Just avoid it.

"Soggiorno di gruppo a Nungwi"

3.0

La posizione ottima vicinissima alla spiaggia di Nungwi. Staff gentilissimo e proprietari molto disponibili e gentili

Abbiamo scelto questa struttura attratti dalle ottime recensioni e dalla posizione centrale a Nungwi, davvero ideale per spostarsi tra escursioni, spiaggia e ristoranti. Purtroppo, l’esperienza reale è stata molto diversa dalle aspettative. 1. Struttura Definire la struttura “basica” è riduttivo: • Bagni fatiscenti, privi di box o tendina per la doccia, con conseguente allagamento completo del bagno. • Lenzuola sporche e stanze con forte odore di muffa. • Dotazione inesistente: una sola asciugamano (maleodorante) a testa, nessun phon, nessun sapone, shampoo o carta igienica. • Camere spoglie e trascurate, completamente diverse dalle foto pubblicate su Booking. 2. Colazione La colazione, descritta come “pazzesca”, si è rivelata deludente: • Solo uova cucinate in vari modi, pancakes che in realtà erano semplici crêpes, marmellata dalla consistenza gelatinosa. • Frutta fresca ma poca possibilità di scelta • Servizio molto lento e cucina collocata accanto a una pozza d’acqua con bottiglie di plastica sparse, creando un ambiente poco igienico e inquinante. 3. Servizio e personale • I titolari si sono mostrati gentili e accoglienti all’arrivo, così come il personale, disponibile e sorridente. • Tuttavia, al momento del check-in non è stata rispettata la prenotazione: avevamo richiesto e ricevuto conferma per 3 camere matrimoniali, ma una coppia è stata sistemata in una stanza con letti singoli, peraltro tra le meno curate. Nonostante le rassicurazioni, la situazione non è stata risolta nei primi due giorni. Conclusioni Dopo due notti insonni, abbiamo deciso di cambiare struttura nonostante l’importo fosse già stato interamente saldato: restare lì era impossibile. Ellavita Cottage si avvicina più a un ostello che a un lodge: infatti era frequentato quasi esclusivamente da ragazzi molto giovani. Le camere sono prive di qualsiasi comfort e lo standard non corrisponde minimamente a quello presentato online.

"No volvería"

6.0

No lo recomiendo. Por decir algo bueno, la cama es cómoda (si te gusta el colchón duro como a mí) y el desayuno cuando te dan a elegir está bien.

El agua no va la mitad de las veces y si va el chorro es menor que el del grifo del lavabo. El wifi tampoco va bien. Antes de llegar me quisieron cobrar parte de la reserva (no acepté) y 3 días antes me escribieron diciendo que no podían alojarme y que me ofrecían alojamiento en el hotel de enfrente por 65usd más la noche (si tengo asegurado el alojamiento y tienen un problema no debería ser a mi cuenta), pero finalmente si me dieron la habitación. En cuanto a la ubicación, está bien si quieres estar al lado de la playa pública que es peor que Benidorm. Y el desayuno de los 5 días, 3 me ofrecieron opciones y 2 me pusieron lo que quisieron. Durante mi estancia el resto de inquilinos eran adolescentes franceses (tendrán algún acuerdo) y no dejaban descansar por las noches.
