    (Translated by Google) The hotel is kept by the Italians, which is reflected in the "peculiar service" Greed and hypocrisy are two postulates of this hotel. In the villa, as we will call it, two bedrooms, designed for 4 people, charge an additional fee of $ 20 for placing children on existing beds, motivating this by the fact that children's service, i.e. breakfast (price no more than 5000shillings), towels and water (1000 shillings) costs money for them too. A meager breakfast of three pieces of fruit, a set of bread and rolls and an egg, that's all. After all, we know what a variety of fruits there are on the island. It shows up in everything. The fans are noisy, the air conditioner is only in the living room. The bedrooms are stuffy, the view from the bedroom to the dump near the fence. There are also questions about security, the fence is low, you have to close the windows tightly at night to avoid robbery, because there is no safe in the room. The pool is dirty and cold, just for show, no one swims in it. Washed towels. There is no organized parking at the villa, we leave the car on the road. We have not seen such greed on the island, having lived here for a month, in 6 hotels. The hotel does not have its own territory at all. On Booking, the room lists a washing machine and an iron; in fact, this service costs from 8 euros. I think the highest degree of greed is the lack of water and coffee and tea in the room. For the first time we meet in Zanzibar, such greedy owners, who feel sorry for 1000 shillings (30 rubles) for daily water for guests, at a room price of $ 115 / night! There is no internet at all. (Original) Отель держат итальянцы, что отражается на "своеобразном сервисе" Жадность и лицемерие два постулата этого отеля. На вилле, так назовем ее, две спальни, расчитанные на 4 человека, берут дополнительную плату в размере 20$ за размещение детей на имеющихся кроватях, мотивируя это тем,что обслуживание детей, т.е завтрак (ценой не более 5000шиллингов), полотенца и вода (1000 шиллингов) для них тоже стоит денег. Скудный завтрак, из трех кусочков фруктов, набора хлеба и булочек и яйца, это все. Ведь мы знаем какое разнообразие фруктов есть на острове. Это проявляется во всем. Вентиляторы шумят, кондер только в гостинной. В спальнях душно, вид из спальни на свалку у забора. К охране тоже есть вопросы, забор низкий, приходится окна на ночь плотно закрывать, чтоб избежать грабежа,т.к сейфа в номере нет. Бассейн грязный и холодный, только для виду, никто в нем не купается. Полотенца застиранные. Парковки организованной у виллы нет, бросаем авто на дороге. Такой алчности на острове , прожив здесь месяц, в 6ти отелях мы не встречали. Своей территории у отеля нет совсем. На Букинге в номере числится стиральная машина и утюг по факту это услуга стоит от 8 евро. Высшей степенью жадности считаю отсутствуе в номере воды и кофе, чай. Впервые встречаем на Занзибаре, таких жадных владельцев, кому жалко 1000 шилингов(30руб) на ежедневную воду для плстояльцев, при цене номера в 115$/ночь! Интернета нет, вообще нет.

    (Translated by Google) PERFUME COLORS .... .... SMILES We spent our vacation here in Maisha Marefu, a small context of 2 units in a small hill that has an incredible view .... we called it "a favor". Those who come here are fascinated by flowers, plants and fruit trees that perfume all the interior parts of the common spaces, making everything magical, enjoying a 360 ° natural spectacle .... sipping a drink by the pool and diving into this magic is divine . The apartments are incredibly perfect furnished with care and with high finishing qualities; there are 2 nice large rooms, an indoor and outdoor lounge, a comfortable kitchenette with lots of accessories ... what about a vacation you don't expect, different from the usual resort but with all the comforts ... it's like being at home ... unlike that at home you don't have a scief every day, but here there is ... it is a beautiful service that offers the structure ... it is called Ali and prepares breakfasts, lunches and dinners ... from things more simple in refined dishes ... great !!! Another service available to guests, which is just 4 minutes away on foot, is the beach, with umbrellas and sunbeds .... crystal clear warm waters that leave you breathless, white sand like talc .... it is difficult to describe this place from what is beautiful ... I invite you all to visit it not as tourists but as travelers .... discover it, love it, turn it, live it .... (Original) COLORI....PROFUMI....SORRISI Abbiamo trascorso qui la nostra vacanza a Maisha Marefu, un piccolo contesto di 2 unità in una piccola collinetta che gode di una vista incredibile....l'abbiamo definita "una bomboniera". Chi viene qui rimane affascinato dai fiori, piante ed alberi da frutto che profumano tutto interno delle parti comuni rendendo tutto magico, si gode di uno spettacolo naturale a 360°....sorseggiare un drink a bordo piscina e tuffarsi in questa magia è divino. Gli appartamenti sono incredibilmente perfetti arredati con cura e con pregi di alta finitura; ci sono 2 belle camere ampie, un salottino interno e uno esterno, un cucinotto comodo con tanti acessori....che dire una vacanza che non ti aspetti, diversa dal solito resort ma con tutte le comodità...è come sentirsi a casa...a differenza che a casa non hai uno scief tutti i giorni, invece qui c'è...è un servizio bellissimo che offre la struttura...si chiama Ali e prepara colazioni, pranzi e cene... dalle cose piu' semplici a manicaretti raffinati...ottimo!!! Un'altro servizio a disposizione x gli ospiti che si trova a soli 4 minuti a piedi è la spiaggia, con ombrelloni e lettini....acque calde cristalline che lasciano senza fiato, sabbia bianca come talco....è difficile descrivere questo luogo da quanto è bello...vi invito tutti a visitarla non come turisti ma come viaggiatori....scopritela, amatela, giratela, vivetela....

    We had a great trip to Prison Island and Nakupenda from Stone Town Zanzibar which Afrikaan Tours & Safaris arranged. Their prices are very competitive. We had a great lunch on Nakupenda (like a sand bar near Stone Town), and saw pretty great fish. We thought he would just put us on a boat with other tourists, but my family and I enjoyed a boat to ourselves, and Robert and his colleague came along. Great guy...Im sure he will do well in his business and in life.

    (Translated by Google) The hotel consists of three apartments. To the beach 5 minutes on foot from the hill (and back to the hill, respectively 😀). The whole territory is clean, well-groomed. The rooms are clean, cleaned every day. The only thing is a very poor breakfast. You can throw at least some vegetables) But, in principle, for this price - fire! (Original) Отель состоит из трех апартаментов. До пляжа 5 минут пешком с горки (и в горку обратно, соответственно 😀). Вся территория чистая, ухоженная. В номерах чисто, убирают каждый день. Единственное - очень уж скудный завтрак. Можно хоть каких-то овощей подкинуть) Но, в принципе, за эту цену - огонь!

    I really can't tell much, But one thing I can say, If you looking for the best experience in Africa Zanzibar, Try this Tours Company. Excellent Tour Guiding, We met several Children and communities that danced for us. They are very knowledgeable and price is negotiable, What I know they are not money Minded but looking to expand their travel company, They make sure you receive what you pay for. Very friendly guide and best service offered. All my thanks goes to everyone behind this great company. I bless you for many more bookings with you.

    Its on of the Most heart attractive Spot in Africa. I enjoyed alot there Especially the Two places was my dearest places in the whole trip. 1 Tarangire National Park 2 House of Wonder's & The Old port Tarangire National Park is closed to river Tarangire. Which doubles the thrill of the Park. Oh Beautiful scenes of Elephants. Walking in a group Unguna Island was another Nature Mystery for me Uniguja Also known as Zanzibar Island. The Blue Water of the lakes pretty awesome views.House of Wonder' is another mystery to Find I am Completely shocked. My heart and my eyes are still there watching and Enjoying palace along with a Clock tower. I really loved to fly again there

😠 The food was not good at all. The fish was dry and the chips hard as stones. Probably cooked many times. Tragedy for big money. It is the shame to call it Italian cuisine.
