The pictures don’t do it justice - the surroundings are absolutely beautiful, the forresty vibe together with it being beautifully placed on the beach, as well as the rooms. 10 out of 10! What should have even higher praised are the entire staff. So welcoming, so nice, incredibly keen on you having the best possible experience while visiting and giving you the space needed to just relax. 15 out of 10! Food is great, rooms are great, their house cat Tiger is amazing, and the closeness to nature (seeing bush babies etc) just adds to the experience. Highly recommend Marafiki for your visit. ##### Pontus Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clare Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you are looking for a proper escape to a quiet paradise then look no further. The Marafiki bungalows are set in lush greenery with steps down to the sea. There is a lovely pool but no real sandy beach, though with swimming shoes, you can get down easily to swim when the tide is in. The restaurant is fantastic with a brilliant breakfast menu setting you up for the day and a wide variety of choices for the evening meal, all beautifully cooked. However what makes this place really special are the staff! Always willing to help and have a smile and "jambo" to greet you. From previous reviews I had thought that it might perhaps be quite couple orientated but actually there were several families so actually this place is perfect if you have kids and don't want the big resort vibe. It is a little removed from the main road so you can really feel quite secure and completely disconnected from everything. However, if you do want to do trips then Justina or Esther will happily organise everything for you. This really is a little haven of paradise. ##### Clare Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Casey Mar 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Highly recommend the Marafiki Beach Hotel & Spa In Zanzibar. Picturesque location on beautiful & luscious grounds with authentic sounds of nature, the feel of tranquility, and all your needs catered to by efficient & friendly staff. On our 1st day there, we arrived late in the day and the kitchen stayed open just to serve us a hot meal. Gorgeous Outdoor seating, which is always my preference, with bowls of locally grown fresh fruits and homemade breads prepared for us to share with one other. The beach was a few short steps away, along with free transport to another beach, and they easily orchestrated any day trip or excursion we could think of. A small bush baby made his way to dinner one evening for entertainment and sang us to sleep each night. Skinks galore in the lush gardens and Thursday night we were treated to live entertainment while we relaxed in the pool. And to top it off-on the last day, they packed up a nice breakfast to go, because they knew we were leaving on an early flight and would miss their yummy breakfast. ##### Casey ### 6/10 Okay #### Andy Nov 20, 2023 Liked: Staff & service good : staff at the front desk were trying to help out . neutral : food in the restaurant was hit or miss , sometimes good , sometimes bad bad : I don't normally write bad reviews, but maybe they can do some improvements . there was a bad smell coming from the toilet , we were in room 7b , we turned on the a/c to mask the smell and I became sick with runny nose and flu like symptoms. They tried to switch us to another room , but they were fully booked and we got stuck in there 2 nights . They need to figure out where the smell is coming from. ##### Andy ### 10/10 Excellent #### sari Mar 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Henkilökunta oli aivan mieletön.
