    Went there for a lunch today. Beach view is amazing however, every thing else was a let down. There were 3 other guests at 1 pm when we reached, DJ was playing music super loud as if there was a crowd of over a 100. We asked for the music to be turned down a bit since 5 minutes in, we started getting a headache and wanted to leave. Dj turned the music down for a song and then went super loud again. Three more requests and it continued in the same pattern. I guess DJ was following instructions from management to keep music volume loud but clearly it wasn’t working. We asked to drinks and they came out perfect. Staff was smiling and helpful. We asked for grilled prawns, a boneless barbecued fish and a pizza. Prawns were not de-veined properly but tasted good, the fish was a whole fish with bones and when we asked for boneless fish / filet, chef was called who took the dish back. This fish was then changed to a tuna which smelt real bad upon return. We did not even tough the fish. Pizza was the only savior for the day . Not Italian but a Zanzibari version of the pizza . Tasted good. The bill came to 76,000 including a fish that we did not even touch. I am sure most places would knock off the fish from the bill since it was left untouched.staff returned saying change wasn’t available and she needed more time to give our change back. We left without getting change and TRa receipt. Paid 5,000 each entry fee for a place that definitely we won’t visit again . Oh yes the menu was dog eared and almost invisible to read as well. Furniture definitely needs some cushions as it’s impossible to sit on hard wood after 30 minutes.

    Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Kigamboni, the Getaway Villa offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was captivated by the villa's nice ambiance, exuding a sense of tranquility and relaxation. One of the standout features of this villa is its convenient access to the ocean. Just a short stroll away, I found myself on pristine sandy beaches, soaking up the sun and enjoying the refreshing sea breeze. It was the perfect setting for leisurely walks and breathtaking sunsets. What impressed me most was that this hidden gem was both affordable and impeccably clean. The villa provided excellent value for money, with spacious and comfortable rooms that were kept spotless throughout my stay. The complimentary breakfast was not only tasty but also served promptly, providing a great start to each day. In today's digitally connected world, having reliable internet is crucial, and the Getaway Villa didn't disappoint. The wifi speeds were impressive, allowing me to stay connected effortlessly. Furthermore, the staff was warm and welcoming, always ready to assist with any inquiries or requests I had. Another perk was the ample parking spot available, ensuring that my car was safe and secure at all times. This attention to detail added to the overall peace of mind and convenience of staying at the villa. The Getaway Villa offers a serene retreat that is both peaceful and rejuvenating. With its nice ambiance, easy access to the ocean, affordability, cleanliness, great wifi speeds, tasty breakfast, welcoming staff, and adequate parking spot, this villa is a true gem worth experiencing. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a tranquil getaway in Kigamboni.

    We stayed here for a night.. we wish we hadn't! Terrible food, poor waiter services, very pricey food, barely able to satisfy a person, pricey hotel rooms not worth the money! It's just a beach front resort with nothing else to show. Actually, the beach is a public beach, accessible by anyone. My last time here. Just visit here if you are willing to spend dollars for nothing.

    Went here after reading some good reviews. It's a small place on the beach side. Swimming pool wasn't so big, it could be used just for relaxing. The reason I gave 2 stars is; when they saw that we are foreigners they gave us list of prices in usd for the entrance. When asked if they don't have tsh entrance fee he did some calculation and exchanged usd to tsh. I'm quite sure you can't do that with tanzanian visitors. Being a resident and living in tz knowing all the places having entrance fees in tsh... It felt fishy and didnt feel comfortable being treated as "foreigner"...

    Had no supplies in our room, no soap, hand towels or complimentary water bottles. Had to ask for it. The mattress on the sunbed was dirty with dried bird pooh. Had to get it cleaned. The food was awful. Ordered beef burger and wings ,did not have wings. Instead gave us a half fried chicken which was not cooked properly. The burger bread was all soggy. It took two hours for them to prepare beef burger and chicken. They had no coffee except for instant coffee, the machine was not working. Instead of being a relaxing holiday. It was very stressful. They were just Catering to the guests who had come for the day trip.

    The rooms are good if they can maintain and clean it well. The staff is doing the best they can. Small and cozy place. If you can take the whole of the villa for the big group, you will be able to enjoy. Only non vegetarian food but u can go next door to sunrise beach hotel to grab vegetarian food if you are one.
