"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Es war einfach alles super! Man fühlt sich mitten im Dschungel und erlebt die Natur hautnah. Auf unserer Terrasse konnten wir sogar Affen beobachten und nachts Buschbabys sehen – ein wirklich einzigartiges Erlebnis! Der Besitzer und die Mitarbeiter sind super nett, herzlich und hilfsbereit. Auch das Essen im Restaurant war top und hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und können das Monkey Mountain Hotel wirklich von Herzen weiterempfehlen!"

"The hotel is not nearly as beautiful as it is in the pictures. I am sure it was amazing 5 years ago but it has fallen into a bad state of disrepair. A colony of bats made a home inside and leave their droppings all over the hallway and in room #4 if you are lucky to get that one. Room #1 smelled of raw sewage. However, the wifi is blazing fast and works all over the property and beach. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. I just wish the owners would invest a little in repairs and clean out...

"The hotel is OK. If you shower everything is going to get wet in the bathroom. Very varying access to electricity. The food was good and service was good. But a man that said he owned the place kept smoking marijuana outside our window, so that was very uncomfortable. It smells a lot and he would not stop even though we asked nicely. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Mtende?
The best area to stay in Mtende is along the coastline near the village centre, particularly close to the main beach.

This area offers direct access to the white sand beaches and the Indian Ocean. It's where you'll find the primary accommodations and eateries, providing a convenient base for exploring the local environment and enjoying water activities.

For couples seeking a tranquil and romantic getaway, staying in one of the boutique lodges or villas directly on the beach is ideal. These properties often feature private verandas, stunning sea views, and direct access to swimming and snorkelling, allowing for a secluded and intimate experience away from larger crowds.

Families will also find the beachfront area suitable, particularly resorts that offer spacious family rooms or bungalows.
When is the best time to go to Mtende?
The best time to go to Mtende is during the dry season, which runs from June to October and again from December to February. This period offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the area and enjoying its natural beauty.

During these months, you can expect warm temperatures, plenty of sunshine, and minimal rainfall. This makes it ideal for activities like relaxing on the beaches, snorkelling or diving in the clear waters, and exploring the local villages without the interruption of heavy downpours. The sea conditions are typically calm and inviting, superb for water-based excursions.

Conversely, the rainy seasons, particularly from March to May and a shorter period in November, can bring heavy tropical showers.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.

To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Mtende.
How much is the nightly rate at a Mtende hotel?
Prices for hotels in Mtende often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $49 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
