Meget stille - og for dyrt i forhold til standard
For forelskede par sikkert fint - men ligger langt fra alt - og er 30 % for dyrt i forhold til standarden

Not value for money
We stayed here for 7 nights and paid £1102 for this, which was not good value for money. The staff are all incredibly friendly and amenable. However, the bungalows are tired and run-down, the door handle was nearly coming off to our room, the taps are severely lime-scaled and wall switches with holes in them? We had to ask for hand soap, toilet roll and we had to keep asking for a towel. The towels and bedding were stained. There is no mattress protector. The breakfast was awful; stale cereal and bread, the only meat was a processed hot dog and the coffee was instant powdered, which is a huge shame because Tanzania produces coffee. There was a pod machine for the coffee, but this was an additional $3. We decided not to eat there for any other meal. The location is ok, you have to walk at least 15 to 20 minutes to get to another restaurant or bar, but it felt safe to do so along the beach. While the beach is beautiful in Paje, the beach here was very sea-weedy, so you cannot enter the water here. It was definitely not value for money and was disappointed when I contacted hotels.com for help on arranging another hotel and they advised it was non-refundable.

Book elsewhere
This is a tired somewhat rundown resort. It seems apparent to us that the manager is not willing to put any money into maintenance or any updates on this property. The food choices for breakfast were on such a shoestring budget it was almost insulting. Literally no cheese or dairy and the only meat were hot dog wieners. There was a sign on the Buffay one morning advertising chicken samosas but when I asked about them the server said “no… We didn’t make them“. The dartboard didn’t have any darts and the foosball table was so unbalanced you couldn’t play on it. All the cushions were dirty and worn out on all of the patio furniture and the towels were so rough they almost scratched your skin rather than drying it. The location feels somewhat isolated compared to other parts of the beach of Pagé. I highly recommend staying somewhere else closer to some action where you can watch kite surfers and multiple restaurants and bars are around. Lastly the bar at this resort was a joke. The wine was terrible the beer offerings sparse and the fridge was not cold enough to chill any of the beverages. The only saving grace was the second unit we stayed in had an ocean view and a nice outside swing. The first bungalow we were put in was pretty awful. The toilet was cracked, the bathroom dirty and twice we had to call staff to exterminate ants which were crawling all over the walls. Look elsewhere is my suggestion.

Hakuna Majiwe Lodge in Zanzibar - inferior value for money. Worn down rooms, suffering from long-term lack of maintenance. Paint is hanging in bathroom, leakage from toilets. Air-con in room hardly working. No power back-up when power outage. Facilities highly disapointing. Defintively way below what you expect for USD 225 per night in Zanzibar. Postives: good location on Padje beach and friendly personel.

Nice place, horrible food
This place has beautiful rooms right near the ocean with a nice breeze. Wonderful views from the room, with a hammock and chairs outside. The pool is big and it is nice. This is one of the only places on this beach with rooms so close and a nice breeze. The rooms are nice with air conditioning. The staff is nice. The only problem with this place is that we paid for half board before arriving and we were less than satisfied with the food. That is the only problem with this place. The menu never changed and the food was not good. The service was slow with the food and check, sometimes two hours total. The food tasted good but not fresh. We went down the beach to The Rock and had amazing meals that were fresh and tasted great. Stay here and eat (except breakfast) at The Rock.

Nice hotel right on the beach. It is close to the shops and restaurants around. Staff is really nice. It has a quite atmosphere. Breakfast is OK. The only negative is the dirtiness of shower water but only stayed for couple of days so it wasnt a big problem. Personally did not like Paje as it is really touristic compared to other locations but the hotel is recommended if you are planning to stay in that location.

Lage und Meer traumhaft
Ideal für Ruhesuchende, nette Anlage, sehr weitläufig und gepflegt. Zimmer optisch nett, Bett schon etwas durchgelegen. Bad renovierungsbedürftig, wir hatten an keinem der 5 Tage Warmwasser. Halbpension Essen immer das gleiche in Sossen (Fisch und Huhn) und Pizzaecken, Geschmack mittelmäßig, nur 1 Mal in 5 Tagen wurde Thunfisch gegrillt, dieser war hervorragend. Extremer Nepp beim Bezahlen in Dollar (schlechter Kurs), also besser genug TSH wechseln

Lovely friendly hotel in a great location
I really couldn’t fault this hotel we had a fabulous time. It is rustic and simple and you mustn’t expect a 5 star smooth operating establishment, there are other hotels at a higher price on the island for that. friendly staff, beautiful location and surprisingly comfortable beds. After seeing guest comments about the standard of the beds I had low expectations I was happily surprised at the quality of sleep. There is a new manager in the hotel he has only been there for a month talking to him he has great plans for the upgrade of the hotel one of the most important things was WiFi in all the rooms. This was done whilst we were staying. This hotel is situated on the quiet area of the island there truly is little to do here. I wouldn’t suggest a long stay here but I would suggest a stay. Make a multi location holiday starting with this hotel to truly relax then perhaps go to the north for a few days to see life. The beach sellers are particularity irritating at times on the beach but after a few days you will be able to keep them away successfully.

Beautiful beach!
Simple but nice accommodations--very pretty decorating and finishes. My only complaint is that you are a little soloed in Paje without too much access to other nightlight/activities. I wish there were more options for food! That aside, lovely stay, lovely facilities. Simple but hits the spot! Would recommend!

Beautiful hotel. Outstanding staff & kitchen
5 days with 2 small children. Staff wonderful, very warm hearted and helpful, going extra mile. The rooms are quite simplistic but nice, with patio in front of each . Everything is on the beach, feet always in the sand. The atmosphere is very relaxed and laid back. Huge and beautiful main area / house, all open to the breeze. Since this is a bit away from village (15 min walk), not many people in beach (hardly any). Big nice pool. The lunch / dinner is really good. A few details to make this a Full 5/5 experience given the price tag of the hotel: everythjng is saltwater (shower, pool, etc). Fresh water provided for brushing teeth, but was à surprise. Seems standard in many hotels here. maybe some more breakfast variation (ok choice, but repetitive after 5 days). Some minor maintenance in rooms ( towel hangers, plug covers, flush keeps flowing )
