“Superb hospitality”
+One of the most memorable places I've stayed. A beautifully built house with fantastic hospitality from Mamarasta and Combo. I was especially grateful to be allowed a few hours' rest after my checkout time ahead of a night flight. Highly recommended.
−Only one note of caution - if staying in the dorm, it's at the top of a ladder through a hatch - quite tricky to negotiate, especially in the dark with luggage!

“Paradise in Bwejuu Zanzibar”
+I love this place been here for the second time and can’t find any reason to try something else. It’s a calm place close to the beach included in the village Bwejuu. It’s really genuin, they have natural and excellent food from there own garden. The design are simple but artistic and the host is so nice and gave us excellent tips when you go budget.

“A good place to start your travels in Tanzania.”
+We started our Holiday here at Mamarasta and could not have wished a better place. Lovely breakfast and also Mamarasta and Combo is very helpful with everything from buying SIM-card to arranging good (and fair priced!) tours. We had a room with a small balcony and enjoyed that a lot in the evenings.
−The room has a fan, but it does get very hot during the night. When you are in Tanzania for a while you get used to it. But when you have just arrived it does give you some har nights (in january).

“Amazing stay ♥️”
+Everything! The property is managed by fantastic people ♥️ very friendly and helpful at every stage of our travel. We loved these calm evenings with talks with the owners. The place is super close to the beautiful beach, we had amazing breakfast every day with fresh fruits. The owners helped us to organise every trip and recommended a very nice tuk-tuk driver . We enjoyed every moment spent there. I recommend this place and wish to be back there one day! Thank you for our stay ♥️

“Exceptional”
+Mamarasta was an absolutely wonderful place to stay! The atmosphere,the food, and the staff ware all Amazing and so kind. The other guests who stayed there were also incredibly charming and lovely people. Although I only stayed for two days , the time I spent on Zanzíbar Island and at this guesthouse was truly a happy and memorable experience for me. Even though my English wasn’t perfect , everyone was patient and took the time to listen to me. Thank you so much everything!
