+It was remote, far away from everything - that‘s what I like. I like the idea of being Eco: no plastic, waterless toilets etc. Very good!
−The Pemba Eco Lodge organzes a pick up from the airport (or elswhere), this is more or less the only way to get to the property. Well organized - but you should know that. And it would be nicer if this pick up service would be a little cheaper…

+At first, we were a little disappointed by the dated simplicity and lack of style, the energy-saving lights with their harsh white glow, and the plastic washed up on the beach. However, we decided to stay and didn't regret it. The secluded, wonderful beach and Omar's personal and warm hospitality are unforgettable. We were treated to delicious meals and even had candlelight at our request. Omar was very empathetic and able to respond to our criticisms and special requests. We embraced a few days of genuine African hospitality. We met locals who came daily to collect shells and fish. Instead of just loitering on the beach and complaining, we started collecting the plastic waste that washed up every day, with visible success. Eventually, even the village children helped us. The residents of this paradise are completely overwhelmed by the waste problem, ignoring, burying, or burning this foreign garbage as a makeshift solution. Neither the authorities nor the owners of Pemba Lodge seem to be offering any solutions. Furthermore, there are concerns that if the trash were collected regularly, it would simply end up back in the ocean. Perhaps our initiative will inspire others, perhaps th

+We had a great stay at the eco lodge. Everyone was very nice and the lodge realy feels a bit like paradise on a remote island. Pick up and drop off by boat were smooth. It is best to arrive and leave at day time during high tide, which allows for landing on the beach by the lodge. The food was extraordinary. We had lunch and dinner every day, never the same food twice. For a few days you can do nice activities like snorkeling, kayaking and walks arround the island. We can only recommend going there.
−The bed's matrace was a a bit too hard. Besides that, everything was fine. From reading previous reviews we can add that that bins and hangers for clothing were added to the rooms.

“A week in paradise!”
+Location is simply stunning - and beautifully quiet. Nature at its very best. The lodges were very simple and perfect for the location. We were supremely well looked after by Adam and his team. The food was all local, fresh and beautifully cooked. Pemba Lodge really is one of a kind if you are looking for a simple, natural getaway. A truly amazing place!
−Beds were a little hard.
