    Had great stay for 5 nights with welcoming staff and stunning location to the stunning beaches of Nungwi. The breakfast was delicious, offered coffee and fruit. Location: the hotel was adjacent to many bars and restaurants, and the sea shore. I appreciated staying here...

    The bathroom was very basic, I didn't like it.

    The food was brilliant, and I have nothing but wonderful memories from this trip. the accommodation was safe and clean, and the rooms were reasonably spacious. It was situated in a well-maintained building in a magnificent location by the ocean.

    The staff, however, were the saving grace. They were very friendly and helpful, which made the stay somewhat bearable. the location of the hotel was also a positive aspect. It was conveniently situated close to other bars and restaurants along the beach, making it easy to explore and find alternative options. Despite the disappointments, the beach itself was nice and offered a good walking opportunity. Overall though, I found the experience to be overpriced and underwhelming.

    The facilities and the overall experience. the rooms were not well-maintained and needed some sprucing up.

    I had an unforgettable time at this idyllic location where the beach is just steps away from the rooms. the staff was extremely kind and helpful, offering tailored services to our group so we could have the best experience possible. Breakfast served on the terrace of our room was delicious and the excursions organized by the hotel were amazing. the rooms were clean, comfortable and benefited from a stunning view of the ocean.

    Although we enjoyed the food served in the hotel, we would have loved to explore more culinary options in the area.

    The hotel is located right on the beautiful Nungwi beach, offering breathtaking views and easy access to the sea.

The basic amenities provided in the rooms, such as the refrigerator and the comfortable mattress, added to our overall satisfaction.

    We loved the hotel's perfect location right next to everything. It was close to the beach and the village supermarket, only a 2-3 minute walk away. We enjoyed having breakfast on our balcony every morning, which was a great personal touch. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel less alone while solo traveling. The whole place was super clean, with well-maintained surroundings adding to the tranquil vibe.

    No negatives to report.

    Peaceful and lovely to chill out. The staff was helpful and the location was great for watching the sunset. The pool was well maintained and offered plenty of sun beds. We enjoyed breakfast on our terrace which was a nice touch.

    The restaurant service was slow and the menu wasn't very extensive. The Wifi was sometimes problematic but understandable given the location.

    This hotel is a hidden gem! The value for money is exceptional, with prices that won't break the bank. The attention to detail in the rooms is evident, especially with the nice terrace where we had breakfast in the mornings. The staff go above and beyond to provide excellent service, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    No improvements needed, everything was great!

    We had an amazing romantic getaway at this hotel. the location was superb, with a stunning beach just steps away and a beautiful pool. the simplicity of the cottages was enchanting and we loved having breakfast served on our terrace with a lovely view. the staff were very personable and we enjoyed getting to know them.

    The internet connection was unreliable, which made it difficult to stay connected. we were disappointed with the 10 am check-out time as we would have preferred to stay longer in the laid-back atmosphere.

    The peaceful atmosphere at Flame Tree Cottages allowed us to unwind and recharge after our safari. The well-kept gardens and refreshing pool created a truly heavenly relaxation experience. We particularly enjoyed having breakfast on our private terrace, and the menu at dinner offered delicious options, including the mouthwatering lobster. The staff were always welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. I highly recommend this hotel for a tranquil and rejuvenating stay.
