The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service. After a month of traveling around Africa, this place was our home away from home for two weeks. For an affordable price, we got everything we needed and more. Juma, the receptionist, always greeted us with a smile on his face and was happy to assist with anything we needed in and outside of the hotel. Augustino, the manager, is practically a local and helped us plan our itinerary throughout our stay. Rooms were cleaned and tidied every morning, and laundry services and a restaurant were provided in the hotel. Pool was perfect temperature, and we could even swim at night thanks to beautiful pool lights. The location is a 5 minute walk from the beautiful Nungwi beach, and right next to the local "Cocobello" club. Miti is beautiful, quiet, and intimate, and we are already planning our next trip!

We were looking for a quiet place to rest and feel cared. And we definitely found it. This small hotel has everything you need. excellent food kind service. a feeling of home. Attentive to everything, clean and beautiful rooms just on the beach!! Waking up with the amazing views. One evening there was a lovely band with a varied menu of seafood, fish, Italian food. A small and charming boutique hotel. Thank you for a magical birthday and an unforgettable stay
Great location, attentive staff and great hosts Max and his wife. The food here is amazing. And the pool too.
Very spacious room- Genius upgrade! Lovely bed and working air condition. Very close to all amenities. Great hosts and very helpful staff. Amazing, fresh fruit and cooked breakfast, good coffee too!
We booked for 3 nights and ended up staying over 2 weeks! We got lucky to be there at the time the hostel guests formed a really nice group, but when when quieter this place felt like an oasis of peace, relaxation and perfect holidays. The swimming pool is a blessing at any time of the day or night, the breakfast was so delicious, the staff was very kind. The location, hidden from the busy and touristy Paje, was perfect as it felt like coming back home to a comfy place. Very cheap accommodation. Definitely the best hostel in Zanzibar for me!
I thought it was a great location, straight onto a quiet bit of the beach. The staff were phenomenal - extremely helpful and very pleasant. Overall, a nice boutique hotel where I would return.
Amazing little hotel 1 minute to Jambiani beach. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Great location next to superb local restaurants On the quieter side of the beach but only a 5-10 minute to cover everything you'd need. Excellent staff - Carlos is an amazing host! Laundry services super cheap. Breakfast was nice with different amazing fruits, pancakes and fresh juice. We enjoyed it every morning.
