Top Buyu Hotel Reviews

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really beautiful hotel in a great location whether you want to use the ferry or not. Everyone at the hotel was so friendly. They even helped me park my car and offered directions around. The breakfast included an egg/omelette station plus pastries, fresh fruit, pancakes, samosas and hot items. The dining area has a choice of inside with AC or outside with scenic views of the harbour and boats. The room was really spacious, with beautiful original decor and had a charming balcony overlooking the pool. Overall I would highly recommend. There's also an ice cream cafe next door that I didn't get to try."

Maru Maru Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel located in the middle of Stone Town, beautifully maintained. Great breakfast and cocktail menu. Pool located at the rooftop is too small and does not feel private. It is located at the same level as the restaurant, which is open to the public. Staff was not very helpful for a solo black traveler. Like in many tourist-packed destination on the continent, staff tend to gravitate towards white or white-adjacent clients. Hotel manager (of Indian descent) was also very unwelcoming. He also seemed to gravitate towards a certain type of clientele and seemed to engrave this attitude into the staff. Mood felt very colonial."

Tembo Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay; I didn't expect any kind of view and it is in the midst of other buildings. A short walk from the main hotel, where you have access to all of the the amenities including breakfast, pools, private beach, etc. The room was a bit bare bones for furniture, but what was there was local and good quality. No mosquito netting, but they say that they spray, although we did find one. We used the ceiling fans all night which should also keep them away. The bathroom was beautifully tiled. Great staff at the main hotel and there is security at the entrance to the Palace Hotel. Biggest downside - uneven stairs and no elevator."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Buyu?

The best area to stay in Buyu is along the northern coast, particularly around Kendwa and Nungwi, which offer exceptional beaches and a range of amenities.

Kendwa is ideal for travelers seeking a relaxed beach experience with beautiful sunsets. The beach here is known for its soft white sand and calm waters, making it great for swimming and sunbathing. You'll find a selection of upscale resorts directly on the beach, many offering direct access to the ocean and various water activities.

Nungwi, located just north of Kendwa, is also an excellent choice, especially for those interested in local culture and marine activities. This area is a traditional fishing village and a hub for dhow building. Here, you can find a mix of resorts and guesthouses, along with opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and sunset cruises.

When is the best time to go to Buyu?

The best time to visit Buyu is during the dry season, which runs from June to October and also from December to February.

During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty and outdoor activities Buyu offers. The weather is generally sunny, which is superb for enjoying the beaches and coastal excursions.

For travelers interested in wildlife viewing, particularly birdwatching, the dry season offers excellent conditions as vegetation is less dense and animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot.
