Great boutique hotel! Small, comfortable, great hosts and good foods. What more can you ask for?
Great location, near to the beach and plenty of food and drink places. Rooms were as described, we had no qualms. We had breakfast one of the mornings and we found it to be good value for money. The best part of our stay here was the great host Vanessa, she was so welcoming and helpful in giving us recommendations in the area and overall ensured we had a great stay!
Great location, attentive staff and great hosts Max and his wife. The food here is amazing. And the pool too.
Vanessa and her sister are great hosts, very friendly The house is close to the beach in a quiet area, nice breakfast as well
Nadya is great host who gave some really awesome recommendations (from restaurants to going to a secret sand bank), and all of them were top rated. MaNa is a super quiet place, just 2 mins walk from the beach, and about 15 mins walk (on the beach) from the busy part of Nungwi beach. Great food options everywhere nearby. And the place is super clean, lots of care gone into it.
Charming Boutique hotel lovingly designed down to the smallest detail. Wonderful rooms, large balcony, great breakfast and dinner. White powdery sand beach only one step away - quiet and clean at all times. Amazing owners. Very friendly and always helpful staff. Arranged for me everything. Service level: 10++/10. You come as a stranger and leave as a friend. Recommendation: 100%
I thought it was a great location, straight onto a quiet bit of the beach. The staff were phenomenal - extremely helpful and very pleasant. Overall, a nice boutique hotel where I would return.
Amazing little hotel 1 minute to Jambiani beach. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Great location next to superb local restaurants On the quieter side of the beach but only a 5-10 minute to cover everything you'd need. Excellent staff - Carlos is an amazing host! Laundry services super cheap. Breakfast was nice with different amazing fruits, pancakes and fresh juice. We enjoyed it every morning.
The guesthouse has great location in the centre of Paje, 5 min to the beach. The room is big and has comfortable furniture.In spite of central location, it was quite quiet compared to other places I stayed at.The breakfast prepared by Sophie was amazing! Fresh fruit juice, vegetables every morning. It wasn't the case everywhere. Absolutely my number 1!
