Fantastiskt ställe. Under 20 dagar på Zanzibar stannade vi i 7 olika platser och jag kan ärligt säga att Moonshine var en av mina favorit. Perfekt läge. Breakfests på terrance med fantastisk havsutsikt. På stranden på framsidan av hotellet tidvatten var mycket "kort", så simmar i havet var möjligt under hela dagen. (Stora differance jämför med t.ex. Jambiani eller Matemwe) Restaurangen har rimliga priser och och mycket trevlig personal.

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Just wow!! I had a group of seventeen members from Nomadness Travel Tribe stay at Moonshine, and it was an oasis in what we surprisingly found was a super underdeveloped island, as a whole. It was exactly what we wanted in a place that was less tourist, and more authentic. The beaches are ransacked with big name resorts that almost seem out of place. Moonshine was next to a school, so seeing the locals (particularly children) was a beautifully organic reminder of where we were without feeling completely displaced. Leo, Frederica, Emma, and the rest of the staff work so hard, and it shows. The hospitality was top notch. Hard saying goodbye to those sunrises. Thank you for allowing Nomadness to be us the whole time we were there. Only heads up I'd give is WIFI. Plan on not having it consistently, or not at all. Once that's fixed, this gem is on it's way to 5 star quality. Thank you so much. On behalf of my whole group, we appreciated you greatly.

Extremely welcoming and very homely environment - very responsive and attentive, accommodating. Great with the children and safe environment.

Je suis resté dans cette maison avec ma famille pendant quelques jours autour de la nouvelle année et ce fut une expérience incroyable! Ann nous a fourni beaucoup d'informations sur Zanzibar et avec un téléphone qui a rendu très facile de se déplacer et mettre en place des visites guidées. La maison est belle et très propre, juste sur la plage avec un belvédère sur l'eau. Se déplacer était facile avec un taxi, offert arrangements préalables Ann. Ce fut un grand endroit pour se détendre.

Место было фантастическим. Энн Мари была очень полезной, даже если бы она была из города сами. Это при условии точного exerpience мы искали. Персонал дома был чрезвычайно полезным, и мы очутились смеялись над нашими различными и творческие способы общения друг с другом. Дни, проведенные в доме были очень расслабляющая, а также время, проведенное на пляжах рядом и далеко. У меня есть 3 маленьких детей, и время было превосходным. Она даже организовать такси, трансфер из аэропорта взлетов и инсайдерское Zanbari Седрика. Большой отпуск

The men Carlo hired to take care of us ( arrange taxis, meals, etc) was great! his name was Mr. Agi. Very reliable. Apart from that Carlo was not easy to communicate with and as my friends and I checked in he stopped responding to all my messages. The place it self is new, but not well kept. When I arrived the bed sheets were still there from previous quest and there were cookies, dust and dead bugs under my bed. I spent as little time as possible in the home. The good things were the size of the rooms, the AC, Mr. Agi and Hassan.

We spent 8 days at Ina and Msuli's house in Pongwe and we were extremely happy that we chose their place. The hosts are extremely helpful and helped us with shopping and arranging snorkelling and a trip to Stonetown. The beach is very close from the house and it's a lovely private lagoon with very few tourists and only a few fisherman for company. If you walk up the beach there are lots of places to eat and drink, but somehow it manages to feel very un-touristy and relaxed. It was exactly the place we were looking for to get a few good days of rest!

This was a great experience, both as accommodation and chance to chat and do things with the hosts. They did their best to make us comfortable, as we were more (7) than the house usually accommodates. Next time we would definitely want to be only 4-5 people in this location. It was very nice to spend New Year together with the hosts. We really enjoyed the food they cooked, had a deal to swim in the pool of a nearby hotel, were amazed by the dream like nearby beach, etc. We felt very welcome, learnt a lot of life and history of the island, etc. Many thanks Ina and Msuli for the experience! We can warmly recommend.

It is a very nice place, clean, large rooms, plenty of space. Outside there is a nice spot to relax or you can walk a short distance to the beach to sit there. After we arrived, Msuli showed us around the place and gave us a nice tour along the beach to show us the different places where we could eat. And if we wanted to cook ourselves, it was not a problem as Ina helped us with the doing the groceries, for which you need a car. Ina and Msuli were kind enough to help us arrange a great spice tour at the last moment. And were willing to help us with basically anything. They do have two dogs and if you wake up early and want to go to the beach the dogs will join you. Which is not a problem as they are very friendly, but they are not always tempted to go back the same time as you want to go. We really enjoyed our stay there and would gladly come back someday.

Nice, very spacy, clean, cosy house with large terrace. Very quiet and calm, no tourists hereabout. Ina was very gentle and helpful with us! We got delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. :)

We had a lovely Christmas at Ina and Msuli's place. The flat is perfect. It's spacious with a kitchen for making what you need, but there's also hotels in walking distance if you want to eat out. The swinging beds outside were glorious. It was the perfect spot to relax and read. The beach is a short walk away and delightfully quiet. There were few to no beach boys and hawkers which made it perfect for quiet walks. Ina and Msuli set up a wonderful Christmas dinner as well as a great snorkeling trip. They shared the beauty of Pongwe with us and we're so grateful!

We had a wonderful stay at Ina and Msuli's home! The house is very comfortable, outfitted with custom made local furniture and it even has 2 double bed/hammocks to lay in! Ina made us wonderful food for breakfast each morning including fresh baked bread, fresh fruit and eggs and she also made us a fresh, grilled fish dinner twice. The food was incredible. They are also very helpful with tourist information, we booked a spice tour through Ina that was really great. Highly recommend this accommodation!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Ina & Msuli's place for 2 days and it was fantastic! The apartment is very spacious and absolutely gorgeous, very clean, and comfortable. Everything we needed was available to us including a yummy fresh breakfast each morning. Inna also made us feel very much at home and was there to help us out along the way. The beach nearby was isolated and cute and the restaurants at the rock and nearby hotel was good. I only wish we would have stayed longer! If you have a chance do stay at Inna and Msuli's.

Our stay at Ina's and Msuli's place was just great, we can definitely recommend it! We were 4 people traveling together and there was plenty of space. The wonderful beach of Pongwe is just a few meters away.  Our hosts even made sure that we can use the pool and restaurant area of the lodges nearby. Ina helped us with groceries, took us to the north of the island for an afternoon at the beach and had lots of useful information about the island and the people living there.  Ina and Msuli are living in the upper part of the house, which we were invited to on our last evening for a wonderful dinner. Such delicious food and a great atmosphere.  Communication worked perfectly, we had fun with the 2 dogs being around.  To sum up: Ina and Msuli are very nice people, the place is great, we can only recommend it! Thank you so much, we had a wonderful time(URL HIDDEN) Very nice people, great place tostay at! The location right next to the beach is a big plus. 

The photos don't do this place any justice, also I guess a lot has been changed in the last couple of months. we had a wonderful stay at Talib's place! It's a plce to go if you just want to relax and hang out in hammocks and have a few drinks in the evening after a long 3 weeks on the road like we had. The food is great even though a little overpriced, but REALLY amazing. I would say the only downside is the beach which was full of seaweed but also surrounded by abandoned guest houses and resorts. Nevertheless I loved spending time here and would come again for the cat, the 2 dogs, the hammocks, food and drinks!

a nice please with super-friendly people, out of all trouble.

Place is really nice and quiet. It is good choice for budget travellers. It's probably not the place for honeymoon but it depends on your preferences. You can walk for hours on white sand beaches just few steps from your room. You can buy basic stuff in shop at the village. You will have basic bathroom with "cold" water which is OK, because you won't use hot one anyway. Talib and his cook can make you traditional meal from fresh seafood - it can be tricky when its windy and it's hard to get it everywhere around, but you can always get rice in local spicy way. Talib is still improving the place so every new visitor will probably have bit better experiance. You can play football with local boys almost every evening. Probably the best is night when you can sit and watch fire while you can have the luck and see Bush baby in wild.

"Relax in peaceful Kae Zanland" ist der perfekte Titel für diese Unterkunft. In einem wunderschönen Garten, bei wirklich super netten Leuten fühlt man sich so gut, dass man gar nicht mehr weg möchte.

We visited Miele Lodge/Kae Zanland in Sep/Oct 2016 (8nights). The place is very peaceful and relaxing.. All of the staff are really friendly, helpful and always here if you need anything! We felt like that place is our second home and the stuff is our family!! The owner(Talib) is really nice person, which help you anytime, anywhere and anything. Also can help you to organize the trips around to see the real Zanzibar. We also met some kind of special friendly man in this relaxfull place (his name is Dutchi)-he is a bar man / organizer.. He is here, whatever and whenever you need. The food is really good, amazing fresh breakfasts, tasty lunch's and dinners for really good prices. The room is very clean and all the windows are protected with mosquito nets, like bed. Outside in the sharing big peaceful garden there is the gardener, which takes care that everything is perfect all the time. The location of this magical place can shows you how near is to the beach, where you are welcomed to paradise. Different story like in other "tourist" places in Zanzibar. If you want to take relax, enjoy the vacation and not be lost in a mass of tourism, than we recommend you this place! If we will come back, than we will stay on the same place. Thank you so much for everything! We hope to see you soon again!

The best staying in Zanzibar! The beach is out of this world. You experience the real African culture. Close to Pingwe & Paje beach and the famous The Rock is just 5 min by car. The staff are all amazing people, but Dutchi - you are awesome :))!!. The food is delicious and cheap. I would strongly recommend this little paradise. Thank you, thank you for everything.

Very friendly hosts. Nice and peaceful place. If you have any Problems, the host will help you. Nice little beach 50 metres away from accomodation. You can see the best sunset on the Island. Dutch is also a very good tourguide. Ask for the "Mangrove Sunset Tour", you will not regret it. The bathroom should be upgraded. The Food is very good and pricy as well. We would recommend a stay at any time. All the best for the hosts and Mody :-)

Great place to relax and recharge. Mosquito nets, fans and clean beds are all there for you. Excellent staff with answar and dutchi running the place very well. A must-visit if you come to zanzibar! Best hammocks ever !

a great getaway! so peaceful. andrew is a sweetheart.

True paradise. To spend a week in this. Bungalow was everything we wanted. Paradise beach is just a few minutes away and we almost had the beach to our self. An incredible unique place and having a host like Andrew only made it better. He helped us with everything we needed and it was so nice to just to have a chat with him now and then. We couldn't be more happy. Michamvi is amazing!

To stay at Peku Peku is the step out of a rushed and consumption oriented life. There is nothing and everything at the same time in Peku. It is easily reached by Daladala, small shops to buy water and snacks, small restaurants with great food close by, a beach bar with reggae lifestyle and pure nature: beach with white sand like flour, romantic sunsets, warm water, friendly and easygoing neighbours, buch babies, monkeys, friendly dogs and cats and birds. Andrew welcomed us very warmly and we felt immediately welcome. It is a pleasure to just be there. The banda is very small with a fan, shower and toilet and a small porch. Enough for a beach life. There is no option for self cooking at the banda.

Peku Peku is a little paradise where we felt very welcome. We can highly recommend this place! Beautyful ground with lots of exotic plants and trees. Andrew is a great host! He made our stay just wonderful. He gave us great tips and showed us arround the area and where to find a place to eat near by. We felt very safe night and day in the area and arround! The house had everything we needed. A brand new fan was installed when we were there, which was great! For little extra charge, Andrew prepared us breakfast with fresh fruits coffee and tea every morning, and served it to our Veranda. Just Wonderful! We had great chats with him. We hope to come back here some time in the future.

We got a warm welcome with fruits and afterwards Andrew showed us the village and the beach. The Beach is just beautiful. Two persons fit in the banda and you are living in the middle of nature. For example one night a monkey climbend on the top of our Banda. Michamvi Kae is not as crowed as other places in Sansibar so its perfect if you like quiet. We enjoyed our stay at Peku Peku a lot.

Peku Peku is just wonderfull place, very quite and full of white sand. Beach is less then 5 minutes away and what a beach it is ! Gorgeous white beach only for you. If you are looking for quite and peacefull place where nobody will disturb you then Michamwi is a right place for you. Nobody will annoy you with business offers and you can enjoy romantic sunset alone at the end of the world :) Of course there is not many possibilities for shopping, night life and only few restaurants are available. This place is for relax only. After week in Peku Peku-Michamwi we moved down to Jambiani and it was little shock for us. Much more people, every 50 meters someone was trying to sell us something. Andrew was very carefull, showed us surrounding area and also help us to manage Dhow (boat) trip. We really enjoyed our stay at Peku Peku and we can only recommend this place.

Great place to relax, enjoy the nature and the beautiful beaches on Zanzibar. Andrew is very friendly and can show you everything. I can recommend the accomondation to everybody!

Andrew's place is beautiful! We really enjoyed the quiet of peku peku and michamvi. The room was very clean and we didn't miss anything. Andrew is a friendly good careing host and we'd love to come back!

Barefoot Zanzibar was an interesting place. On arrival we were a bit stressed because there is only one building on the big property (they are still building I think) and we didn't know how close anything else was so we felt a bit isolated. We walked down to the beach and were amazed - such a lovely beach and sunset! Then we found the hostel Sagando where we ate most of our meals and hung out during parts do the day. A really funky place. The staff at Barefoot were really nice and made delicious breakfast! We didn't get to meet the hosts as they were away. So all in all a great, cheap place to sleep with all the basics, but not the best to hang out during the day. But the hostel and beach were great to hang out at - so a win win!

Sehr gute Unterkunft, 30 sek bis zum Strand, sehr ruhig, Leute extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit, gerne wieder

Our 3 days in Mpole Bungalows were great. Relaxing and peacefull, exactly what we looked for. The room was very clean, the bed is big and confortable and the bathroom is big and very clean. Kombo welcame us and was here for any needs. He's very nice and helpful. The breakfast is excellent and we also recommand lunch or diner. Thank you guys, see you next time.

Mpole Bungalows is a quite new accomodation, we stayed there for 4 nights. What can you say? The beach is in 100 metres walking distance, and if you don't want to walk there is the beautiful garden. The guys have put some real effort into the place and they are still expanding. Breakfast is the most abundant and best we had in whole Zanzibar. Every time you think now it's done - somebody arrives with pancakes etc. You can also order food for dinner. Maybe the services are not fully stated anywhere but we asked a lot and the staff consists of cool and easy going people who were always eager to help - regarding laundry, activities, excursions. Would definitely rexommend the place.

Saubere Bungalows, super Frühstück. Nur 1 Minute zum Strand. Sehr ruhig gelegen, nur wenige Hotels in der Umgebung. Definitiv zum weiterempfehlen!

Warm welcome with flowers. We got an excellence breakfast. The guys were very helpful. Ideal place to relax.Nice Restaurant nearby - not at the beach!

My go to spot in Michamvi. Make sure to talk to the hosts as they are a wealth of information about what to do locally. One morning I went spear fishing with the guys that work at Mpole. They made me feel like a local.

This place has something very rare, and as I work in tourism, I should know. The people there love what they do with their heart and will welcome you no matter who you are, what you have, or what you are going to give to them. When I had a big problem with my other host, out of money and panicing, Combo, the manager of Mpole spend lot of his personal time trying to help and then moved out of his room , sleeping in the garden, so I could stay there 2 days for free, including breakfast. After made a very low price for a beautiful hut, and all this without expecting anything back. I spend my time there like floating in a paradise,all people being so understanding, and relaxed, smiling, calming me down, to let go and enjoy my holidays. This beach paradise has beautiful big huts, with huge beds and powerful showers, is surrounded by sand and palmtrees and the white sandy dreambeach is just 20 m away. Also the beautiful mangrove forest is very near, and the food is wonderful. Every wish or question you have, Combo will sort it out, with a big smile and relaxing Hakuna matata. This is a place you can just be, and be welcomed whoever you are. It is a dreamplace you will always want to come back to,. I will. I am so lucky to have found this place.Asante sana Combo, Hakuna matata.
