A group of friends and I (6 people) recently stayed at Mbuyuni Beach Village. Amour, Sheshe, Musa and all the other staff at Mbuyuni Beach Village make your stay that of a 5 Star hotel and even better. I spent weeks chatting to Amour (reservations) via email while i asked for advice, tips, info, etc on Zanzibar and there were... more

We stayed here and Blue Oyster and thought the value for $ at Mbuyuni was much higher. Clean, airy rooms with ceiling fans and private bathrooms. The beach is steps from your room with lots of sunny and shady areas to choose from... We recommend for completely relaxing, sunny beach holiday. Added bonus - they didn't bug you constantly about... more

We stayed at Mbuyuni for five days. Bungalow was good, with Zanzibar beds en big bathroom. Nice staff, preparing to help you with anything. Beach was really nice, the tides made it difficult to swim, but we knew that before choosing this hotel. Overall, everything was good, it's a quiet place to relax. But....one disadvantage: on our beach were a... more

My daughter and I stayed at Mbuyuni beach August 2009. The rooms were very basic comparable to an average North American motel. With such a beautiful beach and ocean we were only in the rooms to sleep, shower and change. The furniture was locally made which gave it an Island appeal. We always had plenty of space on the beach,... more

Mbuyuni Beach Village is a calm and quiet place, as decribed on their homepage. You will find good value bungalows for a good price which makes your stay not as comfortable as in a five star hotel, but once you have decided to go to East Coast Zanzibar, you are probably looking for nice beaches, silent environment and peaceful people... more

We are American residents in Tanzania. We had reservation for 3 nights at Mbuyuni Beach village from July 16-19 2009. We stayed one night and the accommodations were horrible: bad beds, dirty bathroom, toilet didn't flush, fridge didn't work, and the beach is very rocky which is unsafe for anyone to swim. But the worse is that after we canceled... more

Allow us to explain what real happened when the guests stayed here with us. They had a booking for 3 nights but once they got here on the first day, they informed us that ,they would like to check out the following morning and We agreed with their decision as they said that they were not happy with our place...
