Mixed feelings, still quite certainly the worst highly-rated accommodation Ive ever stayed at.The bathroom was not a nice place and twice I had to wash under the sink as the real shower stopped working.The rooms itself are quite basic but the sleep was surprisingly good(read:cool) when we left both the balcony and room door open at night.Location is also below average, quite a long walk from any beach and shopping.The restaurant prices were also highest weve seen in Zanzibar, even higher than seafront hotels in Kizimkazi.Overall, spend the rest extra bucks to get a seafront experience at the second best beach in Zanzibar(after nungwi)

Great place, owner is very nice person, so are the employees. We felt very welcomed here. There is outside garden where one can just chill and enjoy holiday. Its also possible to borrow a bicycle for free. The beach is close, but there are cliffs so its better to swim between high and low tide. There is also a restaurant in the Mnana Lodge, food is really good and prepared quite quickly (given the fact youre on Zanzibar) We enjoyed our stay and felt very welcome here.

Although owner is extremely nice, rooms are not nice at all. There is almost NO water pressure and water is very slick. Surrounding is beautiful and this house is located on the end of the road.However this made us feel little bit threatened especially when main gate was open whole night while we were assured it will be closed.Overall we wouldnt pick this place again.

We have been there for 4 days and it was amazing! We enjoyed everything! The food is really tasty and cheap, from the lodge is possible to do any kind of escursion, the place is an oasy of peace... surrounded by beautiful vegetation and flowers, theres a nice swimming pool, bicycles at costumers disposition and so so so on...! Than last but not least, the staff: Jenny, the crew and the super cute Darma are amazing, the will do everything you need to make your holidays greats

Excellent Hospitality by the owners.Rooms though small are comfortable for 2 persons.Breakfast was delicious.They took us for Dolphin Spotting, (at an additional charge) and provided very good instructions for the best possible chance to view the Dolphins.

Jenny is just the best hostess Ive met so far. She goes above and beyond to ensure youre satisfied. Shes always on her feet, watching after her guests from whatever port youre coming in to Zanzibar. Wonder how she does it. Shes just amazing. Mnana lodge is beautiful, relaxing, cool, clean, and has an archaic feel to it, the sea/beach is a short walk from the lodge. You sleep and wake up to the sound of sea-waves. The lodge is clean, has an homey Italian/European/African feel to it. Its just cozy for anyone. Then the meal is just perfect. I had a full, rich breakfast and lunch ranges from seafood to Mediterranean. I stayed in the dormitory bedroom, but its so spacious. Jenny you are the best.Thanks for a wonderful time.

Food smells amazing, cant wait to tuck in; lovely ambience and beautiful!!Without question perhaps the best Italian food Ive had anywhere (puts the UK to shame!!)... go try, thank me later 😉

Nice place to stay, & have a drink. Such a cool place. I loved the wi-fi (very speed)!! You can see a baby whale skull (pic below). Owner help you how to go & see / swim with dolphins & whale (depends w/ seasons too)

I went there only for the restaurant but who could have thought I would eat one of the best pastas in my life in Zanzibar?Very nice place with warm staff and the food and cocktails are perfect.

Awesome rustic facility with extremely friendly and hospitable crew. I totally enjoyed my family vacation there. Thanks Jenny and the crew.

Dont know about the hotel.but the restauraut is great!very cheap,very tasty,very big portions!the atmosphere is very peaceful,thanks to the massai guy!such calm and chilled,like in a meditation!

I went here for dinner every night . Italian family that cook excellent food at a great price

Its like paradise! We love this place and we hope, one day we will be back :-)

Amazing food!!! Probably the best on this island!

Food worth for waiting, lovely service Homely itlian? Its ZanZibar for f... s...

Very good kitchen, delicious food👍

The best Restaurant on Zanzibar which I tried.

Very particular ... excellent chicken

Amazing place to be I love it

Charming place, very careful detail and attention. Very clean and at a great price. Just 120 meters from the beach and 1500 meters from the town of Kizinkazi. Excellent cocktails prepared by Stephen Pinto. And the best thing is that they provide you, free of charge, a mobile card, so that you are never cut off from communication. A 10 out of 10

I stayed in September and did not like it at all. There were no towels in the bathroom, the shower did not work, I arrived at lunchtime, I ordered a pizza and while waiting for the food they began to argue among themselves, Jenny screaming I did not see her all day, breakfast I It came from jambiani and I found it very rare. Luckily I only stayed two days, I found the accommodation and the restaurant very expensive. It is at the end of the town, very far from everything. I will be back this year. But I will not stay there. Honestly because I only had two nights left, but when that discussion had gone, and I wasnt in the compound much either. I was in town except to sleep. Very simple rooms and you can hear everything

Nice staff, close to the beach, green area, free bike rental, delicious breakfasts, swimming pool.But! The rooms do not have doors to toilets, shower over the toilet and opposite the window into the corridor. The blind from the window is constantly blown away by the wind and you can see everything from the street. Also on the 2nd floor there is a thatched ceiling, so at night you can hear absolutely everything that happens at the neighbors + there is a large lizard that hunts at night, running over you behind the ceiling.In general, I would recommend this hotel to everyone except those who have a light sleep.

We have been here for 2 days and we are fine .... great breakfast and food .... nearby there is a lot of tranquility ... Jenny makes you feel at home ... Andrea the masai is very nice and kind .. ..the essential rooms and always with something special about the beds .... highly recommended !!! a few steps away is the beach and at 700 m the village ... here the best sea of ​​Zanzibar

A quiet place, a super cool boss, a very relaxed end of stay at mnana lodge, thank you very much these last days in zanzibar, far from the beach boys sometimes too insistent, were very pleasant, caress a darma😉✌

Excellent welcome, cleanliness, amazing cuisine at a more than honest price. Highly recommended!

Very nice quiet place and ideal for a quiet stay without the sellers of souvenirs

Very nice home, restaurant very good and fresh.

Excelent stay propote y attenzione I love
