We found this lodge online and booked for 9 days. After a fantastic welcome we were offered the traditional bungalow on the beach, but could choose others that were available. The lodge is right on the beach and is a “barefoot” resort, sand right up to your veranda. We wanted to dive with the whale sharks, snorkel and scuba dive and the lodge delivered on all accounts. What really made our stay was the team, including the two Moodys (we called them the moody blues) and the wonderful team from the restaurant and boutique. Massages are also available. They all treated us like family and there was nothing they would not do to make our stay amazing. All our diving and snorkeling trips were organised, and we could add all the costs to our account and pay on departure. The whale sharks were amazing and the island snorkeling and beach BBQ incredible. We also ate on the beach in front of a beach fire. The fishing boats are right in front of you. There are also two resident black cats (Vladimir) who added to our family experience. Hassan, the owner, was very discreet, super friendly and professional leaving his team to happily look after us. Mafia is a small island, very laid back, and these guys do not have mass tourism, they just made our stay amazing. Well done!

We had an amazing stay at Juani beach bungalows. Truly cosy, comfortable, very clean, surrounded by greenery, with direct access to the sea and a super nice walk to the centre of Kilindoni. Food was delicious, staff lovely and Musa himself was an excellent caring and informative host. Most recommended!

We went as a family with kids. Ofcourse value for money compared to those hotels near to the beach. Mafia is a big island but inhabitants is low. Having said that, this hotel was near to any basic amenities required. It is even just 5 to 7 minutes walk to the domestic airport. The staffs welcomed us very well and made our stay exceptionally perfect. They even organized good deal excursion, we all kids managed to see whale-shark and swim with them at Kilindoni which was 10 minutes drive from this hotel. Even snorkeling and blue-lagoon was amazing at Utende which was about 40 minutes drive. All transport was well provided and taken care of us. Looking forward to be back!

It is a beautiful place, well organized and very friendly and considerate staff. They remember your names, likes and dislikes when it comes to food - we were really impressed We tried different activities at the dive centre and had a great time. They also have a very comfy lounge area to chill and escape the heat.

excellent accommodation in utende village. the staff is super friendly, attentive and helpful. the rooms are beautifully done, breakfast is fresh, delicious and more than enough. the dinner for 12$ is reasonably priced, you get a starter, a main and drinks and it‘s delicious. keep in mind that you‘re staying in the village and not on the beach. they lend you bicycles for the 5 minute ride and the drive is really nice. if i ever return to mafia i‘d stay there again. asante tena:)

Please note that my review refers to Butiama Beach Lodge! A slight misunderstanding meant that we had booked Butiama Bustani but were taken to Butiama Beach upon pickup from the airport. Once there (at Butiama Beach) and once we realised we were at the 'wrong' hotel, instead of transferring to Butiama Bustani were we had actually booked, we asked if we could pay the supplement and stay at Butiama Beach, which we did (luckily they had a room available). The Butiama Beach Lodge is a truly wonderful and romantic place for a relaxing holiday. The service is excellent, the food is delicious, the rooms are very comfortable (with a hammock on the veranda that I could have stayed in forever was it not for all the other nice things one wanted to see and do at the lodge), the sunsets over the ocean are gorgeous, and there are several activities that one can easily join thanks to the hotel's own activity manager. As it wasn't the right season for the whale sharks, we joined a boat going out to watch humpback whales. The sea was quite rough, no possibility to keep the camera out for all the water splashing in, but seeing the whales was a great experience!
