The owner was away when we visited, and he didn’t tell the manager that we would be there, so when we got there, the rooms were not ready, the manager wasn’t there, either. Several big trees in the garden are sick, turned blackish brown, and they need to be taken care of. Garden and lounging areas need more cleaning and maintenance. When we tried to pay for our food, we realized that they charged us 6$ for three bottles of mineral water they had put on our dinner table (we hadn’t even asked for them). We asked them to put some vegetable in our omelet for breakfast, they didn’t say we should pay for it, but then 5$ was charged for the veggies on our omelet. The ladies at the hotel were friendly and nice people. I appreciate it. ##### Eunji Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Highview Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Karatu-Hotels-Highview-Hotel.h22109001.Hotel-Information) > - [Karibu beach resort ](https://www.expedia.ca/Pongwe-Hotels-Karibu-Beach-Resort.h93229445.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > - [Meliá Serengeti Lodge Member of Meliá Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Melia-Serengeti-Lodge.h18410258.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > - [Kibo Palace Hotel Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kibo-Palace-Hotel.h2559587.Hotel-Information) > - [Ikoma Bush Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-Hotels-Ikoma-Bush-Camp.h83262005.Hotel-Information) > - [Stonefish Inn Jambiani ](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Stonefish-Inn-Jambiani.h100720924.Hotel-Information) > - [Kia Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kia-Lodge.h1849013.Hotel-Information) > - [Farm of Dreams Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Karatu-Hotels-Farm-Of-Dreams-Lodge.h11806795.Hotel-Information) > - [UVIVU by Jambiani Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-GreenZ-Jambiani-Apartments.h37946686.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Malaika](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Villa-Malaika.h96936853.Hotel-Information) > - [LUX Marijani Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Pwani-Mchangani-Hotels-Marijani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h69923153.Hotel-Information) > - [Sharazad Oasis Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Sharazad-Oasis-Retreat.h89854080.Hotel-Information) > - [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > - [Nungwi Dreams by Mantis](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Nungwi-Dreams.h19700686.Hotel-Information) > - [Bagamoyo gold accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagamoyo-Hotels-Bagamoyo-Gold-Accomodation.h32251278.Hotel-Information) > - [Brubru Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > - [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > - [Ananda Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paje-Hotels-Ananda-Beach-House.h36255479.Hotel-Information) > - [Azao Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Pongwe-Hotels-Azao-Resort-Spa.h13131768.Hotel-Information) > - [Mbuyuni Beach Village - Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Mbuyuni-Beach-Village-Bungalows.h2205544.Hotel-Information) > - [Coral Rocks Hotel & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Coral-Rock-Hotel-Restaurant.h1912135.Hotel-Information) > - [Leparadis Zanzibar Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Leparadis-Zanzibar-Boutique-Hotel.h108902952.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Lala](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Villa-Lala.h106920206.Hotel-Information) > - [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > - [Tarangire Simba Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tarangire-National-Park-Hotels-Tarangire-Simba-Lodge.h21559150.Hotel-Information) > - [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > - [Naf Apartments - Mtwara](https://www.expedia.ca/Mtwara-Hotels-Naf-Apartments-Mtwara.h45842906.Hotel-Information)
