“I would visit again”
+Firstly it was the staff, communication from the manager because we requested for a late check in as we landed at 1am but he made everything easier for us. Everyone was just amazing, they made sure we always had power by using generator when it was loadshedding time. Breakfast was also amazing, the place is clean,had hot water always. The place is few minutes from the beach and Baraka aquarium
−Nothing honestly

“Try fishing”
+Amazing location in Nungwi for the price! White sand blue water beach. We booked a deep-sea fishing trip with the owner and hit the jackpot- a huge marlin! It was an unforgettable experience.

“A Home Away From Home in Nungwi!”
+What an amazing stay at Lighthouse Guesthouse! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The room was spacious, clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The hospitality was truly exceptional! Everyone was so warm, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying my stay. A very special thank you to Dulla, who was absolutely amazing! His kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care made my stay even more memorable. He really went above and beyond, and I appreciated every bit of it. The location is also perfect! Just a minute’s walk to the beautiful Nungwi beach, with lovely restaurants, supermarkets, and taxis all conveniently nearby. Everything you need is practically on your doorstep. What made this place truly special was how welcome and cared for I felt. It didn’t feel like I was staying at a guesthouse; it felt like a home away from home. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend Lighthouse Guesthouse to anyone visiting Nungwi. Thank you for making my Zanzibar experience so special!

“Recommended”
+Clean, nice staff and good communication with the owner through Whattsapp. Bed vas comfortable, room spacious. Breakfast ok, good pancakes, coffee, fruit.
−Rules and regulations were not followed. Neighbour was loud until 02:00 (should be quiet after 21:00) and the guard didn’t tell the ppl to be quiet so I had to tell him. Told the owner in the morning and he dealt with it right away.

“À l’écoute”
+Un accueil exceptionnel et une équipe très gentille et attentionnée. Un merci particulier aux deux frères Masaï qui assurent la sécurité, toujours disponibles et prêts à aider, ainsi qu’à la gentille jeune femme qui préparait et servait le petit déjeuner chaque matin. Je remercie également sincèrement le propriétaire pour sa bienveillance.

“Mala,”
+El personal fue amable al recibirnos
−Nos fuimos de la propiedad porque la ubicación si bien es cerca de la playa está metida en una zona muy fea que nos dio miedo, insegura para salir a pie - nos sentimos desprotegidos y las ventanas eran de vidrio sin rejas, no llegaba el wifi, la cocina no estaba habilitada y toda sucia , ni hablar de utensilios. Una pena, es la primera vez que llegamos a un lugar y decidimos irnos por seguridad y bienestar. Caminar entre un pasillo con escombros y casas q parecían en construcción o a medias era el camino hasta la habitación. Nos dio miedo.
