Ok hotel at reasonable price. The room was nice and clean, however the ac sounds like a *huge* tractor, so you'll have to be prepared with earplugs. The waiters/cooks in the restaurant were probably the slowest on Zanzibar, so if you're gonna eat, be sure to have the whole night free.

Smiles beach is a reasonably priced option in high priced Nungwi. The 4 2-story buildings (4 rooms each) are cute and clean with carved teak furniture. The grounds are lovely with shaded beach chairs and palm trees. It's located at the quiet end of the beach, next to the Hilton. The sand is soft and the swimming was lovely. We... More

We stayed here for a couple of days after travelling through Tansania to relax on the beach. We ended up here because most other hotels we were checking out were already booked full and this one is actually a bit over our budget. The manager gave us a good price, though! The hotel itself is great - large rooms, very... More

We took a chance on booking Smiles Hotel after reading only a couple reviews and we were happy that we did. It’s situated at the quiet end of the beach (between the Hilton and Flame Tree Cottages) which we liked because we were able to watch the activity of the local fishermen and have some peace from the beach boys....

The... More

We stayed at the Smiles Beach hotel for a week from 29 Dec until the 5th of Jan. The hotel is situated very close to the beach, and from every room you will be able to catch a glimpse of the beach/ocean about 70m away. The room was well kept and clean. The aircon was a blessing indeed, although ours... More

We stayed at Smiles Beach Hotel between 29th October and 7th of November 2012. Hotel kept up to expectation - nice & clean room, comfortable bathroom, A/C (however so loud that sleeping with A/C on was too challenging for us...). No safe in room - that was kind of surprise for me - but you can leave your valuables in... More

We stayed for two nights in Smiles Beach Hotel. The hotel was a little bit neglected, especially the bathroom. However it was ok for the price in comparison the other hotels in Nungwi. The room was quite big, and the breakfast was nice. They do not sell alcoholic beverages however if you ask, they buy for you. The walk in... More

They don't usually serve alcohol, but if you ask politelt, they will buy for you. (There is also a liquor shop in the village and... More
