Guest Reviews
- Karen (9/5): - Spacious room for our family. We loved being served breakfast on our balcony each morning. Nice beach.
- Edorsson (10/5): - Perfekt läge vid stranden och personalen var fantastiska Lite svagt wifi ibland
- Anders (9/5): Would gladly come again - Extremely kind staff, great location just at the beach where restaurant was situated. Not worth paying extra for seaview in this case as it was limited
- Katrien (9/5): - The location was perfect.
- Jana (7/5): Schöne Anlage und tolles Team – leider mit deutlichen Schwächen bei Transparenz und Kommunikation - - Wir hatten viele wirklich nette Gespräche mit dem Personal und haben durchgehend gemerkt, dass sich alle Mühe geben, den Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten und auf Wünsche einzugehen - Der separate Liegebereich war ein großer Pluspunkt, weil man dadurch nicht ständig von Strandverkäufern angesprochen wurde und einfach entspannen konnte - Das Meer und der Strand sind wirklich traumhaft und machen den Aufenthalt vor Ort etwas Besonderes - Während unseres Aufenthaltes waren nur sehr wenige Gäste in der Anlage, wodurch es sehr ruhig und entspannt war. Das haben wir sehr genossen - Leider kam es mehrfach vor, dass vorab mündlich genannte Preise (z. B. für Ausflüge oder Wäsche) auf der finalen Rechnung deutlich höher waren… Besonders enttäuschend war die Verlängerung unseres Aufenthalts: Uns wurde nach mehrfacher Nachfrage ausdrücklich ein Gesamtpreis bestätigt, der sich später als Preis pro Nacht herausstellte. Daher unser Rat: Preise unbedingt immer schriftlich bestätigen lassen, um Missverständnisse zu vermeiden. An Ende steht man sonst vor einer Rechnung, der man so nie zugestimmt hätte, aber natürlich zahlen muss weil die Leistung schon erbracht wurde… - Als wir die Abweichungen angesprochen haben, war die Reaktion leider wenig verständnisvoll. Statt auf die Situation einzugehen, wurde uns von der Besitzerin der Anlage deutlich vermittelt, dass wir selbst schuld seien, wenn wir die genannten Preise so verstanden haben. Auch mit etwas Abstand und nachdem wir die Situation haben sacken lassen, bleibt vor allem dieser Umgang als sehr negativ in Erinnerung – und hat den ansonsten schönen Aufenthalt am Ende leider deutlich überschattet.
- Ana-Maria (10/5): -
- Ann-Mari (9/5): -
- Judith (8/5): - The staff who were always friendly and very helpful
- Mustapha (10/5): Très bon séjour hyper bien accueilli. Merci - Le personnel très sympathique. Très bon emplacement. Hôtel à taille humaine.
- János (10/5): -
- Valérie (10/5): Bien être et zenitude dans ce petit hôtel avec un beau jardin tropical - Un hôtel de charme à taille humaine, avec un personnel très accueillant et toujours prêt à rendre service. La situation en bord de mer permet de contempler le coucher de soleil en dinant des plats très gouteux. Une vrai pépite. Rien, tout était parfait. Le seul regret c'est de l'avoir quitter pour un hôtel à Paje où nous rencontrons que des problèmes ( Jambo by resort )
- Sonia (8/5): I am very pleased - The staff was absolutely wonderful. Fatima and agnas was wonderful. Everyone was eager to help. Loved having dinner at the beach restaurant. The property is well taken care of. The mattress felt like there was no mattress. It was very hard. The shower needs more water pressure. The cocktails needs improvement. None of the cocktails i got were good.
- Liliana (10/5): Felt like home, safe and sorrounded by good vibes - Beach front, paradise, wonderful garden, delicious food, excellent services!
- Regina (9/5): Higly recommend! - Great location right at the beach with beautiful sunsets. Amazingly friendly staff. Honestly best place to stay in Nungwi
- harald mantlez (1/5): noch nie so eine abzocke und unhygienisches hotel gesehen - wir reisen sehr viel und das flame tree cottages war das erste hotel in 20 Jahren, das wir nach nur einer Nacht sofort verlassen haben, noch nie so ein schlechtes hotel gesehen. Wir mussten unsere Daten in ein öffentliches buch eintragen mit Einsicht auf die Daten der anderen Gäste. danach wurden wir in die Zimmer begleitet. Wir bekamen jedoch nicht die 2 angegeben Zimmer laut Buchung sondern 2 andere kleinere und hässliche Zimmer. Im Badezimmer im Bereich der Dusche sind elektroleitungen welche eine gefahr beim Duschen darstellen. desweiteren ist es nicht möglich mit diesem geringen wasserdruck zu duschen. Der kühlschrank ist dreckig und rostig. weswegen wir in nicht verwendet haben. Unsere Pässe und Wertsachen konnten wir ebenso nicht im tresor verstauen da dieser Lose ohne Verschraubung auf einem Regal steht und jederzeit mitgenommen werden kann. Der Wasserhahn beim waschbecken schwenkt in alle Richtung weil er nicht richtig befestigt ist. Man muss ihn mit einer Hand festhalten. Die räume sind ungepflegt und unhygienisch und unzumutbar zum vermieten. Es sind sämtliche elektroleitungen offen zugänglich. Die badezimmertüre ist nicht versperrbar und während ich auf dem wc saß betrat die reinigungsfrau das wc. Aufgrund der großen Enttäuschung und der unmöglichen Umstände haben wir am nächsten Tag ausgecheckt. Wir informierten die Rezeption welche uns zu der Manager weiterleitete. Auf diese mussten wir 15minuten warten. Wir haben ihr alle Mängel vorgelegt und es gab keine Reaktion ihrerseits. Sie kontaktiert den Besitzer und teilte uns mit das dieser in 15minuten bei uns ist. nach mehrmaligen nachfragen und warten verließen wir das hotel nach 2stunden. daraufhin mussten wir uns ein neues hotel suchen und auf eigene Kosten bezahlen. Die Managerin weigerte sich unsere Buchung zu stornieren und uns das Geld wieder zu geben. Ich kann nur ausdrücklich davor warnen dieses hotel zu buchen.
- Simone (9/5): Atmosfera familiare e romantica una piccola perla con una posizione top - Anzitutto lo staff, amorevole e gentile. Poi la posizione, il giardino molto curato, il ristorantino sulla spiaggia Potrebbe migliorare il ristorante: il posto è davvero top e molto romantico e potrebbe essere una super destinazione per una cena romantica ma la scelta del cibo è troppo limitata, le porzioni piccole e in generale la qualità nella media. Con poco sforzo potrebbero fare di più. Suggerimento per il prossimo capodanno: evitare i cannoncini spara coriandoli di plastica, hanno sporcato la sabbia del ristorante e credo ci siano alternative molto più sostenibili.
- David (2/5): - The food was good The wifi and the toilet was horrible
- Olivia (10/5): Sehr entspannend - Direkt am Strand, sehr ruhig, Shoppingstrasse in gehweite, gutes Essen, freundliches Personal
- Orlov (10/5): Незабываемый отдых в цветочном раю: бутик отель в Нунгви - Это бутиковый отель, со своим частным пляжем, чудесными заботливыми людьми, которые работают тут. Мы провели 10 дней в этом отеле. Я, честно, не понимаю, кто может ставить негативные отзывы. Это один из лучших отелей в районе Нунгви. И звездность у него должна быть выше, чем заявленная. Тут все живут в коттеджах, каждый коттедж называется цветком, например: Иланг-иланг, Роза пустыни и т.д. Название не случайно: тут чудесный сад вокруг каждого коттеджа. За ним ухаживают девушки каждый день. Все в цветах, глаз радуется. Есть зона для массажа и площадка для йоги. Отдельная любовь и фишка - завтрак, который подают официанты на террасу вашего коттеджа, по меню на выбор. Это так приятно, будто ты дома. Кстати, именно так мы себя и ощущали , пребывая тут. Девушки -менеджеры Маргарет и Агнес сразу по прибытию сказали «будьте частью нашей семьи». Они большие молодцы! Большое им спасибо, старались сделать наш отдых максимально комфортным. Всегда все улыбаются и спрашивают как дела. Это очень приятно! Тут, кстати, на территории отели живет хозяин отеля - мистер Сайф. Очень приятный человек, который старается также помочь и решить вашу проблему. Он говорит «его двери всегда открыты». Он помогал нам с арендой машины, хотя это не его бизнес. И всегда был рядом и всегда можно было к нему обратиться . И, да, парковка есть. Пляж у отеля собственный. Постоянно ходит охранник. На Занзибаре это очень важно, потому что вас будут донимать торговцы. На этом частном пляже вы в безопасности и комфорте. Места на пляже всем достаточно. Я никогда не видела, чтобы кому-то не хватило места. Душ всегда работал максимально. И горячая и холодная вода. Фен приносят по запросу. А ещё перед сном приходит работник, женщина, которая обрабатывает комнату от комаров и насекомых. Тут ощущаешь себя особенно, в безопасности и комфорте. Все понравилось
- Nestor (10/5): - Flame Tree Cottages is a paradise on earth. The staff is amazing and always ready to help. The location can not be better, right at a really nice beach. The restaurant/beach bar ("Zanzi") was really beyond our expectations and much more then what the pictures show. They prepare wonderful food, with great variaty and it is located directly at the beach with organized entertainment a few times per week. The breakfast was brought to our veranda every morning and we ended up having lunch at the dinner at the Zanzi restaurant every day as it was really delicius. Thank you for a wonderful vacation. Nothing I can think of.
- Jiannina (9/5): Très bon séjour - La gentillesse du personnel, du propriétaire des lieux et de l’équipe globalement Le manque de tv et d’internet mais ce dernier point ne relève pas de l’hôtel, toute Zanzibar ayant été impacté par la coupure des communications en raison des élections
- Kasper Stefan (7/5): - Der var rent og pænt. Personalet udviste god service. God beliggenhed uden for meget musik og støj. Dog slipper man ikke for de påtrængende unge mænd og alt deres scam på stranden
- Julie (8/5): - Lovely property, friendly staff, good food at restaurant. On site massages and facials were nice.
- Aaron (9/5): - Great quiet hotel, relaxing hotel located away from the crazy intensity of the main beach. Agnes and the other staff were all super friendly. Not a criticism of the hotel as it applies to all hotels in the area, but as soon as you leave the grounds for the beach, the Masai beach boys start their relentless harrassment. Trying to sell you tours, drugs and all kinds of things. Be careful if you are a single woman, they are very charming and are often sex workers (in the Thai Bar Girl style), or have a romance scam angle.
- argoud (8/5): séjour agréable - hôtel très bien situé, au calme le petit déjeuner servi sur la terrasse pourrait être amélioré : manque un jus de fruit frais le restaurant était bon mais un peu cher devoir quitter la plage privée très tôt pour installer les tables du restaurant
- Dekel (9/5): - Amazing staff, kind and friendly. Location superb. WI Fi needs an upgrade
- Suleman (8/5): -
- Christine (9/5): - Great location, the staff and owners were very friendly - we had a great time. Nothing :)
- Laetitia (5/5): Hôtel bien placé - L’emplacement, le sourire du personnel qui sert au restaurant et les dames qui font les chambres. Nous avons séjourné deux nuits dans cet établissement et avons été globalement déçus. Tout d’abord, les chambres ne donnent pas sur la mer, contrairement à ce que nous espérions, ce qui a été une première source de déception. De plus, malgré le panneau « Ne pas déranger » affiché, le personnel est tout de même entré dans la chambre. Nous avons également été fortement dérangés la nuit, notamment entre 23h et minuit, à cause du bruit provenant d’un chantier voisin, avec un groupe électrogène en fonctionnement. Pour un hôtel présenté comme étant très calme, cela ne correspondait pas du tout à nos attentes. Concernant le petit-déjeuner, il pourrait être amélioré, tant sur la qualité que sur le choix proposé. Cela renforce notre impression d’un rapport qualité/prix peu satisfaisant. Concernant le restaurant, nous n’y sommes pas allés, il n’y avait personne. En revanche, nous tenons à souligner la gentillesse du personnel du matin au petit-déjeuner, ainsi que l’accueil chaleureux que nous avons reçu à notre arrivée. Le petit déjeuné était bon. Crêpes, pain de mie, beurre, cake, omelette, fruits. Par contre pas de buffet. Ces points positifs méritent d’être mentionnés.
- Cormac (10/5): Highly recommended to anyone staying in Zanzibar - Such a nice place to stay in a spectacular location. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Everything is very well looked after. Excellent breakfast and a great bar.
- Nadia (8/5): Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour en famille au Flame tree cottages , je remercie le personnel de leur bienveillance - La nourriture été excellente , l’hospitalité du personnel et l’emplacement du cottages . Le créneau horaire proposé du petit déjeuner ( entre 6h30 et 09h30). Préparation des tables pour le dîner au milieu des transats près de la plage très tôt ( 16h30), ça nous ne laisse pas la liberté de bronzer et profiter du coucher de soleil à notre rythme .
- Hélène (9/5): Séjour très agréable à Zanzibar je recommande - Nous avons bcp apprécié la gentillesse du personnel et leur sourire l’accueil chaleureux, le petit déjeuner servi sur la terrasse de la chambre, la piscine, le coucher de soleil, le calme. La plage privée isole des vendeurs et permet d’être au calme. La nourriture était bonne mais un peu chère. Les transats de la plage sont enlevés un peu tôt pour préparer les tables du soir ce qui ne nous a pas permis de profiter totalement de la plage Pour les geek le wifi est pas top sauf à la piscine et à la plage
- Martin (6/5): Pleasant -
- Tracey (9/5): Superb -
- Iola (10/5): Exceptional - The location was fantastic, straight onto white sand and clear blue sea beaches! The staff were extremely attentive and polite. We enjoyed the private beach area by the hotel bar as you could relax there without being bothered by vendors on the beach. The view was gorgeous. Our little cottage was always clean and comfortable. We enjoyed waking up in paradise each morning. Would love to return to flame tree cottages. You can also snorkel from the beach outside the hotel if you bring your own snorkel gear. We saw lots of starfish here 🤩 Nothing!
- Josef (10/5): Ett hotell utöver det vanliga - Detta boende är som en dröm! Hela området är grönt av växtligheten och färgglada blommor överallt. Guavaträdet utanför vår veranda var väldigt fint att se. Hotellet är rent och personalen väldigt vänlig. Frukosten som serverades på verandan varje dag gav en känsla av lyx och den var väldigt god! Färsk frukt, olika sorters ägg, bröd, pannkakor, kaffe och juice - ingenting saknades! Rummet städades varje dag och varje eftermiddag kom de och såg över handdukar som vi haft på stranden. Hotellet ligger enligt oss på den bästa delen på ön och vi hade inte valt ett annat hotell om vi kom tillbaka igen. Maten var väldigt god. Varje kväll åt vi till ljudet av havet precis intill. Tack vare Flame Tree blev vår vecka på Zanzibar den dröm vi hoppades på!
- Walter (7/5): Good -
- Thierry (10/5): Tout est parfait - Sans doute une des meilleures adresses sur cette partie de la côte. Établissement pas trop grand, personnel attentionné, jardin magnifique, petit dej excellent. On peut y aller en toute confiance
- Kayla (10/5): Lovely and relaxing few days spent in Nungwi - Beautiful property, ocean views and great lounge area. Amazing staff, they were so friendly and really made our stay special. Shout out to Agness, who was so incredibly sweet!!! Very walkable to basically everything in Nungwi.
- Hila (10/5): Exceptional - Gorgeous luxury stay with plenty of attention to details, spacious rooms, private terrace, beautiful garden and right at the beach
- Jordan (2/5): *Avoid* Backpacker quality. Luxury price. Rude ownership. - Hotel is in a good location, if access to Nungwi is of interest. In our view, there are better places on the island to stay than Nungwi. Pool was nice, with a shallow section for kids. Some of the staff, particularly Mohammed and Agness, were great. Mohammed especially tried to make the best of the numerous issues that came up. It's clear the owners can't be bothered to give him much to work with. ** UPDATE: I wrote a review. It was not positive. The owner said she'd consider refunding me if I took it down. I did. And she gave us nothing. So here it is again ** We've traveled for 30+ years and been to 50+ countries and had never checked out of a place early... until we stayed at Flame Tree. If this were a $50 a night hotel, we would have dealt with anything. But paying nearly 8x that?! The owner might consider coming from Europe to TZ to see what customers get for the thousands she earns daily. We eventually switched to another place that was much cheaper and wildly better -- we will remember there and not Flame Tree, but we wanted to warn others to help people avoid getting ripped off. - We booked a 5 day stay. We would've left after 1 night, but stayed for 3 as our kids got sick. We left 2 days early and were told by the manager, after he consulted the owner, that giving refunds were 'not our policy'. The product was poor. The customer was miserable. And nothing can be done? - The photos in the listing are not a true representation of how rundown Flame Tree rally is. It needs a major overhaul. Mold is everywhere. Our bathroom light flickered like in a horror movie. The showerhead sprayed all over the place. There were exposed wires sticking out of the wall. The ceiling fans and water kettle were probably from the 1990s. - Breakfast on the patio was a nice idea until it arrived. Our eggs were some of the hardest of our lives... and they were scrambled. We asked for bread and it smelled like mold. We stopped ordering breakfast for ourselves and just got daily pancakes for the kids. - The listing said free toiletries and we basically got nothing. We asked for shampoo and conditioner and got a handful of lotion. - Wifi was awful. Simple pages didn't load. At nearby locations, Wifi worked fine. It's not TZ. It's Flame Tree. ** Spare yourself the trouble and stay somewhere else. There are much better options on the island.
- Andrew (10/5): - Low rise buildings (mostly ‘bungalows’) set in colourful, well tended gardens within the owners grounds, with direct and wide access to a beautiful beach. The owners treat visitors almost as their personal guests (in a non invasive friendly way) The manager Margaret speaks good English and could not be more helpful or friendly. The staff team too are friendly and efficient. Flame tree cottages has a well kept swimming pool and beach bar serving a good variety of drinks and food, not as ‘exciting’ as some other local restaurants but with good portions. There are kayaks on offer and Flame tree have their own dhow boat offering reasonably priced & sometimes private excursions (guests can just say where they want to go, or ask for recommendations). Breakfasts are plentiful & special diets are catered for, served on the terraces outside each bungalow. Flame tree cottages is in a convenient location within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, cafes, a turtle sanctuary, local housing etc. It’s an oasis of calm within quite a busy & interesting community with the added advantage of being directly on a beach with glorious sunsets.

- Agnes (8/5): Relaxing, tranquill place in the otherwise busy Nungwi - Very nice set up at a beautiful beach, quiet and tranquil. Very friendly staff.
- Makyami (8/5): Very good - The location perfect and pool The beds
- Margot (8/5): Great stay at the beach! - At a wonderful location, beach side, restaurant, breakfast is served at the bungalow, room is spacious and nice, just 50 meter and direct access to the beach. Great staff, very helpful and gave us good advice on excursions. Staff checked regularly if all was good. Easy to walk to restaurants on the beach. Bathroom is a outdated, could use an update.
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrea (10/5): Relax y disfrute en flame tree - Muy buena estancia en Flame Tree cottage! Estuve unos días alojada allí con una amiga. El hotel es muy bonito, con ambiente relax y familiar. Un restaurante con vistas al mar en el que a veces hay música en directo, una piscina agradable y un jardín muy cuidado. El personal es muy amable y se preocupa por tu bienestar y ayudarte. El desayuno es sencillo, pero se sirve todos los días en tu mesa de la entrada de la habitación. Dadas las mareas, justo delante del hotel a veces no hay arena de playa, pero está cerca de otras playas andando, y muchos restaurantes.
- Kim (8/5): - Nice and quirete place with friendly staff. Beautiful houses next to beach. Great restaurants next to the place We come back next year
- Jac (7/5): Loved it and would recommend it. Anything you want just ask - Nice, clean, easy, spoilt and great staff. Didn’t need anymore to enjoy a relaxing break Maybe a little more choice for breakfast, especially more local fruits
- Tommy (8/5): - The food was not to Are likening. But there is plenty of other option's around for that.
- Adventurestz (9/5): Excellent location and Great Staff - Excellent location, kind staff, and nice facilities. The restaurant was OK. The food was not very good, which was disappointing because we paid to have meals included in the stay. We ended up eating elsewhere, which felt like a waste of money.
- Delia (9/5): Beachfront hotel with beautiful garden - Stayed here for 4 days with my boyfriend. This place is absolutely amazing. The property is beach front, the beach is beautiful with white sand and cristal clear water. At high tides you can jump right in. It’s also situated in a lively area with lots of cafes and restaurants around. The property is very large, it comes with a beautiful, well maintained garden with lots of palm trees, bushes and flowers. It is the only hotel with such a nice large garden. We had the king room with ocean and garden view. It’s a large room, comfortable bed and very clean. Room service is also spot on. We really enjoyed the breakfast serviced on the terrace in front of the room. Breakfast has a nice choice and really keeps you going throughout the day. We also very much enjoyed the pool, it has a really good size for swimming. Everyone at the hotel was very kind and welcoming. Overall I can absolutely recommend this place for an unforgettable stay! -
- Uroš (10/5): Beautiful stay in Flame Tree - -Super welcoming and kind staff. Every single one of them will make you feel welcomed, and assist you at any given time. Special shout out to Mohammed who goes above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing stay. -special touch of owner, who will greet you personally, which is really nice gesture -Breakfast is very nice. Served on your veranda every morning. (Its always same menu everyday, it gets a bit monotone, but its ok for 2-3 days stay) -Hotel is right on the beach, inside hotel itself it feels like resort, so much greenery and nice pool -Food is good, but portions are small... especially starters. -Everyday they replenish water bottles, and spray room for mosquitoes in evening time -Tea coffee pot and sachets available also in room which is nice -When power goes off (normal in zanzibar) they have generators so you always have electricity and AC in room -AC is really really good! There is little room for improvement which would be nice to see kn next stay here: -food takes looooong time to arrive on table -portions should really be increased -WiFi is slow... it barely opens websites. You have to keep waiting -breakfast menu to be changed/modified at least 2-3 days, because its always the same. For the price per day per room, it should be wider choice.
- Amanda (10/5): - We stayed at Flame Tree 2-6 Feb after spending a few days in Jambiani and Pingwe. We didn’t really know what to expect as we had never been to Nungwi before. But everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The garden of Flame Tree Cottages is so beautiful with many different types of trees and leading down to their very own beach restaurant where you can enjoy dinner while looking at the sunset. Our room was spacious, clean and had a nice balcony overlooking the sea (where we were also served breakfast each morning). We stayed in the honeymoon suite but I believe every guest is served breakfast on their own balcony/veranda which is nice. A special thanks to the staff who took such great care of us. We really enjoyed our stayed. Kind regards Pontus & Amanda
- Johan (9/5): Superb - Clean, spacious bungalow with all amenities you can ask for. Situated in a lovely big garden. Breakfast is served on your terrace, which is very nice. Peaceful place with its own beach area, which we appreciated a lot. Very helpful and supportive staff and the owner, Seif, was also very nice.
- Fabienne (10/5): Fabulous stay! - We very much enjoyed our stay at Flame Tree Cottages. All the staff is adorable and the service fantastic. Our cottage was big and we loved having breakfast on the porch. The breakfast was very good. The bed was super comfy too. The bar / restaurant has a superb view of the beach and is lovely to admire the sunset. The place is very charming and perfectly located, you can find many restaurants and bars, scuba diving centres on the beach at a short walking distance. Special mention to Dalila who provides brilliant massages.
- Lorenzo (5/5): Average - Breakfast, most of their staff Bugs in the pool, many insects in our accomodation, check out process, a specific member of the staff who pretended but we discovered he was not telling us the truth
- Anders (10/5): Underbar vistelse i Nungwi - Rent och snyggt, både i rummen och de allmänna utrymmena. God mat och väldigt omtänksam personal. Trevligt att få frukosten serverad på rummets egna terrass. Fantastisk strand precis vid hotellet. Gångavstånd till affärer och restauranger i Nungwi. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka hit.
- Emma (10/5): - Flame Tree Cottages were an amazing find! We stayed here for 3 weeks, and every day was perfect! The staff are a complete credit to the hotel. They are super helpful, always smiling and nothing is too much trouble. The cottages are super cute, and positioned as such you don’t have neighbours, just your own beautiful gardens to look over. The food is amazing (especially the jumbo prawns, chapatis, and coconut pumpkin curry) and the restaurant is a front row seat for the wonderful sunset. There is nothing like eating dinner with your feet in the sand! And if you forget your sandals, they are discreetly delivered to outside your door, thank you! The swimming pool is well equipped with sun beds and umbrellas and you can while away the time with just birdsong to keep you company. Staff will bring you drinks and snacks or meals by the beach, the pool or on your private veranda. We cannot rate Flame Tree Cottages highly enough. The staff and owners really care about their guests. Far better than an 500 room faceless hotel. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
- Christoph (9/5): Very familiar atmosphere, nice place in Sansibar - Very nice place, amazing cottages and very friendly personal
- Emma (8/5): A very relaxing getaway - This property was great for a peaceful getaway in tropical paradise. The owners were brilliant hosts and the food was good. The water was expensive from the bar.
- Chris (8/5): Very good -
- Gerardus (9/5): Great place to relax in Nungwi ! - great location, beautiful garden like premises, good pool, great food, pleasant staff, breakfast served on private terrace, beachfront dinner food service fairly slow; room somewhat dated
- Heike (8/5): Very good - The resort has a beautiful location right on the beach. The breakfast includes a wonderful fruit plate, lots of coffee and choice of eggs etc. There is a lovely beach front restaurant that does a great fish burger. Staff are very friendly and try hard to be helpful. The swimming pool water is like a hot tub, not at all refreshing. There is a generous onsite library with tons of titles of many languages, these books are so dusty and disorganized.
- Nadine (8/5): Very good - The surroundings are beautiful, gorgeous trees, plants, flowers. Very quiet and peaceful, the staff cannot do enough to make you comfortable. Situated on a beautiful beach. The bathrooms could do with an upgrade as they are very dated. The food orders always took a long time to come.
- Stephen (8/5): Very good -
- Ayşe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cillian (8/5): Very good - Nice pool, comfy room, plenty of space between rooms, could hear the sea and swim there and nice overall vibe Food a bit hit or miss in the evenings. We gotva pita bread and hummus thar was not good for 5 dollars. Cocktails could have been a bit stronger and no happy hour but the breakfast is good and these are small complaints. Got a lovely veg curry as well
- Fida (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karim (9/5): Exceptional! - The staff is amazing , they really take care of you. the location is exceptional just in front of the beach and the rooms are very nice. the owner offered us a boat trip for free and he is carrying about his customers. nothing - our stay was perfect
- Morten (10/5): Fantastic stay - The hotel was located in a great aria. The pool was nice and the hotel was next to the beach. The breakfast was served outside the rooms every morning and it was very close to the town with all other facilities.
- Teresa (8/5): We enjoyed our stay & the staff couldn’t be more accommodating . Breakfast on the balcony was a real treat:-) - great location
- Brian (9/5): Stay in October 15-18th 2022. - I liked that the staff were very friendly, a lovely landlord too. The pool was perfect and it was only a short distance to all the main restaurants. The complex is very safe with security guards at both entrances. Nothing that I can remember.
- Rita (8/5): Very good - The staff is super hospitable The location is amazing Very relaxing Away from the noise Just a bit of renovation
- Inés (9/5): Superb -
- Roger (9/5): Amazing stay - Amazing ocean view and the staff was great. The location is perfect. The owner personally arranged transport to kendwa Beach party.

- Maria (8/5): - Very nice place, has it all you need for relaxing stay at Nungwi, swimming-pool, sun-beds, restaurant. Helpful staff, owners live in the same place, easy access to the beach and the city.
- Olivier (10/5): - Tellement bien que nous y sommes resté 3 jours de plus! Le cadre est juste magnifique et le personnel est parfait! Le plus, le plus belle endroit de la plage de nungwi à 5 mètres de l hôtel.
- Anna (10/5): Великолепные бунгало. - Жили в семейном бунгало. Все очень понравилось. Пляж великолепный, в тихом месте. Территория отеля замечательная , великолепный бассейн, терраса перед бунгало. Утром накрывают завтрак прямо для вас. Комната большая , кровать мягкая, большая ванная. Неплохая уборка. У нас была своя машина , нам позволили ее припарковать на охраняемой территории. Хозяйка англичанка, приветливая, помогает советом при надобности. Влево от отеля много ресторанов и баров. Дважды ужинали в ресторане при отеле, очень вкусно- советуем.Мы остались очень довольны и обязательно вернёмся. Спасибо
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We stayed 5 nights. The garden was lovely, large room, comfortable bed, the bathroom unfortunately was pretty old and not really clean. Breakfast was also average, but it was nice to be served on our veranda. Staff was nice.
- Hilde (8/5): En annerledes hotellperle - Et hyggelig familiedrevet hotell med fokus på at gjestene skal trives og ha det bra! Hotellet består av små ‘hus’ på et eget område, og det er stille og rolig på selve resorten. Fint og skjermet. To ganger om dagen kommer det en flink yogainstruktør til hotellet. Dette er ikke inkludert i oppholdet, men verdt å få med seg!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Veldig blide, hjelpsomme og imøtekommende ansatte! Fin beliggenhet med kort gåavstand til fine badeområdet og restauranter. Rommene var fine og rene, men på grunn av luftfuktigheten så lukter det litt mugg.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nettes kleines Hotel mit tollem Pool und schöner Lage am Strand. Die Zimmer sind groß und total sauber, Klimaanlage ist sehr gut. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Abwechslung beim Frühstück hat gefehlt. Restaurant: Sehr leckere Fishcakes ;-)
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Super fin bungalow, stor flot have, der er "luft" mellem bungalows, god strand, swimmingpool når havet er ude.Skøn morgenmad på terrassen. rolig og afslappet atmosfære.Meget tilfreds.
- Louise (10/5): Peaceful oasis in beautiful Nungwi - Incredible stay, like a piece of heaven located in the most beautiful surroundings. Hope I will be able to return one day, and stay longer. Simply amazing!
- Cary (6/5): - Directly on the beach, but with plenty of security. The food was not great, even the breakfast, which are served very nicely at your room. I had to ask for salt/pepper twice rather than it simply being on the table. as well as jams.
- James (10/5): Fantastic Place - We stayed for a couple of nights at Flame Tree Cottage and had a great stay there. The rooms were nice, spacious and clean, with hot water at all times. It was located right next to the ocean with great views out to sea. The staff were great and we met the owners who were very friendly. Breakfast was served on the balcony of each room which was a nice touch. Would thoroughly recommend.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Poor experience, this place is way to expensive comparing to the comfort. On top of this the smell over there is terrible... but I guess it is not their fault !
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very close to the village community - Not much to do there especially if it rains wich was unfortunate as it was for a whole week. Weak Wifi you can surf the internet but not stream or download. Friendly staff and good food at the on site reastarant. I wouldn’t suggest going to Nungwi for 2 week one week is enough. Yoga lessons are quite repetitive.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Warm & cozy local hotel with great staff - At first glance, this is just a simple hotel with far less of the amenities and infrastructure of the Doubletree 5 minutes away. There were glitches with minor plumbing issues but the staff immediately attended to every concern, and the owner personally got on the phone to apologize and give us a generous discount for the inconvenience. The overall warmth of the staff, and the simple but comfortable facilities really won us over. Excellent food, responsive service, and we got the best price directly from the hotel for the sunset snorkeling cruise that everyone on the beach is trying to sell. We much prefer this locally owned and green hotel to other chain hotels. The staff were incredibly solicitous. We would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not clean and not for the price. - I arrived at the hotel at 4 pm. My room was not ready. The toilet had to be fixed. The room floor was not clean. The air conditioner was not working. The bed had a bad smell. I would not go there again.
- Mark und Svenja (8/5): Immer wieder gerne - Das kleine Hotel, bestehend aus einzelnen Hausern, liegt direkt am Strand, verfügt über einen tropischen Garten mit Swimmingpool und einem Strandtestaurant mit hervorragender Küche. Man hat seine Ruhe, ist aber auch in 5 bis 10 Gehminuten am Ort des Geschehens bzw. bei den relevanten Tauchbasen. Sonderwünsche, wie z.B. zeitlich vorgezogenes Frühstücke, Nachbestellungen, eine Zwischenabrechnung, wurden immer sofort und anstandslos erfüllt. Schwimmen im Meer ist direkt vor dem Hotel (bei Flut) möglich, man sollte aber Respekt vor der Strömung haben. Vom Strandrestaurant aus kann man die schönsten Sonnenuntergänge und das abendliche Treiben der Einheimischen am Strand beobachten. Das Hotel bietet sich für einen romantischen Paarulaub an. Es waren auch Familien mit Kindern unterschiedlichen Alters da.
- Dwight (10/5): Spacious duplex close to the beach - Nice accommodations. Bedroom with good A/C, sitting room with mini-fridge. Bid bathroom with large spacious shower. Nice porch with seating too. Close to beach and pool.
- erminio (8/5): Bello ma si potrebbe migliorare - L'hotel é bello ma c'é da migliorare come ad es. per la colazione servita nella veranda del bungalow sarebbe comodo poter ordinare in giorno prima indicando l'ora del servizio in alternativa si dovrebbe garantire che un cameriere giri con frequenza fra i bungalow per prendere le ordinazioni (non essendoci telefoni). Il set di cortesia in bagno era presente solo all'arrivo poi non piú rimpiazzato. L'asciugacapelli anche se da prenotazione dovrebbe essere presente in camera nella realtà non lo era e su richiesta ci é stato detto che in tutto l'hotel ce ne é uno... Ma non ci é mai stato portato. Per il prezzo pagato si dovrebbe fare attenzione a questi particolari! Per il resto la struttura é pulita, l'ambiente é confortevole e tranquillo a due passi dai migliori ristoranti di Nungwi e sulla spiaggia
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice Rooms and Lovely View - The rooms are great, and the location is nice - it's right on the beach. The wifi however was very bad. You are given a voucher that says it's valid for 3 days with unlimited access, however, it does not work in your room, or even in many common areas. When asking the staff about it, they told you to talk to the owners, even though it is well within the timeline/usage. I was also quoted a higher rate while dining at the property than the menu listed - twice. We went snorkeling, and it was very nice, and a great rate. Even on a cloudy day, it was a great choice. The decor and vibe of the property is relaxing and nice. I'd go again, but I'd buy data ahead of time.
- Kristina (10/5): Cozy place to stay - Lovely hotel with really nice garden. Friendly owners and good service.
- Daniel (10/5): Great location and grounds! - Great location and comfortable room, beautiful grounds and beachfront, good service and hospitality.
