Lovely location and well maintaned.
Reviewed By Alice SLovely lovely lovely location right at the beach with cosy little bungalows along the hill. Only a fan in the room but it worked just fine. The beds were comfortable and the mosquitonet was whole. Nice private balconies and the facilities felt fresh. We ate at the restaurant and it was good even though my fish was too small for the price payed. The Sahidi was very friendly and helpful with everything. Breakfast was good and the same as everywhere in tanzania, pancakes, fruit, toast and eggs served with tea or coffee. What made it great is the location and that it feels well taken care of. What makes it difficult to stay longer is the Marine Park Fee which adds another 23 usd / person / night.
2. Ibizza Inn
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 33 reviews
Ibizza Inn is the perfect place for any traveller who wants comfort but at an affordable price. Because we are based in Killindoni, you will not have to pay the daily marine park fees. All our en-suite rooms come with air conditioning, a large bed and mosquito net. We have a lively treetop bar where you can spot all sorts of wildlife including bushbabies, bats, monitor lizards and even monkeys. Based in the centre of town Ibizza Inn is less than 10 minutes walk from the market, the airport, the jetty and the beach. Mafia Island has everything you need for a fun and relaxing holiday on a hot, tropical Island. Although many people come here to swim with our resident whale sharks, the island has a lot more on offer including snorkelling, diving, pristine beaches and even hippos!
Best budget rooms on the island.
Reviewed By Alice SWe booked this inn via booking.com. One of the few budget hotels with aircon on Mafia island. The room was decent. Enough space for the two of us. One small desk with one chair. Thr aircon worked most often but at times when the electricity was ubstable the aircon did not work. The bed was comfy. The hot water shower worked like a charm. The bathroom toilet ring was broken in 3 places which made it quite uncomfortable to sit on. The breakfast includes egg, two pancakes and some fruits served with tea or coffee. The restaurant and the outdoors area has a view over some palm trees and could have been really nice if not for all the trash lying around on the hill. Also tons of small insects that bite you during dusk, evening and dawn. The restaurant was okey. More pricey than right outside the hotel. Tastes alright. They usually show football and play music quite loud and it seems to be a hangout for locals some evenings. We went away to another part of the island for one night and asked them to hold a room for us when we arrived the day after, but unfortunately there had been some kind of mixup so when we arrived the evening after quite late, there were no room available for us, causing us to have to pay double price for a worse room since most accomodation was sold out. We checked in again the day after at Ibizza inn but unfortunately there was a citywide electricity breakdown but it started working again late evening. They were very helpful with assisting us in booking the covid test and one of the girls from the reception went with us to make sure everything went smoothly! The english level of the receptionists varies alot and it makes planning very difficult sometimes. The manager was very helpful. All in all, we had a good stay and would recommend it with the little observation for that the electricity might be a bit uneven this includes the wifi which is not always working, and when it's working is not the fastest. But it is the best budget accomodation on the island.

Welcome to Chole Foxes Lodge. Situated on the beautiful island of Chole, this is the only place in the Mafia Island Marine Park where you can enjoy a relaxing holiday at a reasonable price. All our rooms are self contained, with twin beds,showers and toilet. Situated on an unmodified beach, nestled amongst the mangroves, this is a fabulous place to relax and watch the sun set over neighbouring Mafia Island.
SUPER!
Reviewed By MarianneAndersenDKThank you Chole Foxes Lodge Team for a wonderful stay with you! We came for one night, but ended up staying three nights because it was so great - the company, the tasty food, the silence, the sunset, the charming nature with fireflies and hummingbirds and the view. We will surely get back! See you, Moses, Mossa, Ali and the rest of you!

The hotel is situated 60 km north of Dar and 20 km before Bagamoyo. The location in the tranquility of a genuine lagoon makes it peaceful and does also give you a lovely view to from your room and your terrace.

Do you live in Tanzania, this is the place to relax and enjoy the good food, the beach and the everlasting friendly service from our experienced staffs.
Nice location but very basic hotel
Reviewed By KHATRI_TANZANIADuring christmas holidays in Dec, wanted an ocean view outing, while searching found the name of this hotel and booked, it's located some few KMs before reaching Bagamoyo town, and we had to about 6 KMS through a rough road till we arrived at the hotel. Rooms was sea facing but very ordinary and basic, air conditioners were hardly cooling, there were plenty of mosquitoes in the room though mosquito net was there on the bed, they didn't have swimming pool but the ocean was beatiful. They have one restaurant and we had breakfast, lunch and dinner and food was good. There was no wifi and mobile signal also was very weak in that area. I can say this hotel has got a very good sea facing area which is not properly maintained, they have to do lot of renovations and also they must improve their services.
6. Millennium Sea Breeze Resort

Travelers to Bagamoyo can select rooms of their choice upon arrival at the Sea Breeze Resort or La Renaissance. The rooms are crafted in a manner that creates a wonderful and warm setting for guests to soak themselves in the aura of Bagamoyo in the the most exclusive resorts along the Bagamoyo coastline. The Resorts are equipped with comfortable Standard and Deluxe rooms that are fully air-conditioned, while Executive Suites are also available. The architectural design of all the rooms is outstanding as each room has a balcony from where visitors can view the luscious gardens and beach scenes. The sandy beaches of Bagamoyo are ideal for weekend getaways and secret hideouts. For honeymoon couples, this is the best romantic place possible. The Sea Breeze Resort lies next to the sandy beaches of Bagamoyo, which is rich with marine life and history. A visit to this particular destination is a must for everyone who wishes to experience the real pleasures of life.
Mid Budget resort
Reviewed By shaymaab2016The resort was impressive at first. We were only here for the night. Couple of things triggered me like how the workers were not friendly. The service was bad. the AC was on full blast when asked for the remote control to reduce the speed i was told they were “all” lost. So it was either live with it or switch it off (which i couldn’t because it was too hot) the room was full of mosquitoes. The breakfast was bad. Very limited and tasteless. One of the waitress was eating from the hot pots while the other was on the phone when i was asking him for something. We usually pay during check outs but at this hotel we had to pay during check in which made me wonder why. It was more about “money” than customer’s service. In general the rooms are ok. Swimming pool is nice. Would visit again if i was under a tight budget.

amazing service, average rooms
Reviewed By alyssaleanneThe staff at this hotel were so friendly and helpful to us. We requested to move rooms to the second floor upon arriving (to get 2 beds instead of one big one, and for less mosquitos), which they happily did without fuss. Then we found the AC in our new room was broken, so they moved us after our first night again. Overall, the staff is very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are what you pay for. The AC (once we had a working one) was great, the beds are comfortable and have mosquito nets, although in rooms with two beds, the smaller single bed did not have a mosquito net (I had my own free-standing one which I used). The shower situation is not great, as the shower heads in the room(s) we saw did not have a way to be fastened above your head, so washing your hair involves bending over. The rooms were quite spacious with a desk, wardrobe and T.V. Upper rooms had a balcony. We didn't use the hotel wifi. Though it's free it's not the fastest. We had local SIM cards with Vodacom which got spotty service in the area, and fairly good service in our room. Overall, you get what you pay for, plus really, really lovely staff.
9. Mapeni Lodge

The lodge was built from 2016 to 2017. Private and kindly. Well situated for safari tours or visiting Dar es Salaam, Bagamoyo or Sansibar. We will arrange whatever you would like to see! Safari tours to Mikumi Nationalpark, Ruaha Nationalpark, Sadaani Nationalpark or Selous Gamereserve by Jeep with your own driver. You can experience the african way of life during a village tour or visiting the new market in kibaha town. We offer a swimming pool and a beach-like experience. You can order a cool drink or a snack from the poolbar. In our restaurant our chef cooks tanzanien dishes or you can choose from the menu.
Unforgettable Vaccation
Reviewed By WilsonmusokeI stayed at this MAPENI lodge for a record 6months. What started as friendly reception and payment of upto about 15k USD ended up with the bar man turned to manager with no hospitality experience what so ever taking us to police for failing to pay $1200 USD (equivalent to about 3m TzS) on scheduled time. This was after making payment prior to that of $12k USD over the past 6months. Worst hospitality especially since we were foreigners. The young boy took advantage and abused our stay. Any would be out of his mind to even think of visiting this place. True experience and opinion!
