Casa Umoja

I really liked the place, an authentic little “jungle” vibe in the middle of a forest, with a good feeling. The rooms were not cleaned daily, in fact they weren’t cleaned at all! Breakfast was quite poor, the same every day… after a while we would have wanted something else.

“Umoja, unidos!”

The brothers who work there gave a warm welcome and were always ready to help with any questions or activities you wanted to try, always super friendly. They have cute little dogs that are part of the hotel family and greet you with kisses every day! Breakfast is excellent, and the large garden and space help you relax and feel at home. The shower was quite rusty, and at one point, probably because the guy in the room above and I were showering at the same time, the water stopped working. The room had too much moisture, so even my wet clothes never dried, but the staff left me a iron so I could dry my shirts and take my clothes out dry. So we always found a solution.

“CASA UMOJA (UNITY HOUSE) - FEEL like one of the family”

CASA UMOJA (UNITY HOUSE) is a family compound, and staying there felt like a privilege. Some family members live on the property and the staff are family too. I liked the organic layout—sand floors outside, plenty of trees, and the room décor and rustic furniture were lovely. The desk in my room was great for working. Breakfast from 7:00 am to 10:00 am was very good: coffee, tea, seasonal fruit, eggs, bread, and pancakes made a great start. Tours and taxi transfers can be booked at Casa Umoja. The location is very safe. Blackouts happened occasionally, but that’s typical for Zanzibar Island. The property has a generator.

“Angenehme Unterkunft mit einfachen, aber guten Frühstück”

The people are very nice and the accommodation is totally great, everything matches the description. Unfortunately the Wi‑Fi isn’t available everywhere as the listing claimed.

“Viaggio four girls”

The location was great, just a few minutes’ walk to the beach, and the first room we got was spacious enough for four girls, though we switched it because the Wi‑Fi was spotty; the staff were helpful and very kind, the guard dogs were genuinely friendly with guests, and breakfast was plentiful with fruit, omelette, bread and pancakes, but the breakfast, while abundant, became a bit repetitive, occasional power cuts—brief as usual—meant we sometimes had to wait for hot water between showers, which is fairly common on the island.
