Pleasant
The location is nice & quiet but far from the airport & the port. Nice & clean beach on the front. The staff are amazing, friendly & helpful but the restaurant needs to improve on their service eg they did not have teabags when we asked during breakfast. We had dinner twice & we loved it. We had breakfast every morning but it wasn’t filling. The rooms are clean & spacious but do not have kettles & tea/coffee. Beautiful place with amazing views. Overall pleasant stay, i highly recommend it& we are definitely going back in summer.

We got charged for everything constantly, the waitresses and managers were rude, insisted and didn‘t comply to wishes, the electricity was off for 3 days while we were there: toilet and shower weren‘t working, no lights and no air con, no wifi either. The food was okay and cheap but the overall quality and atmosphere was disappointing.

Dreadful
Hotel has a very low price point to start with but adds taxes at checkout so actually not that great value for money . Came with low expectations due to original price , but sadly was still dissapointed . Room literally just had a bed in it , outside balcony had no seating . ( deluxe room ) . Leaking sink ( was fixed by putting a bin under neath ) smell of sewage . No lampshades , no where to hang clothes to dry . Cleaning was good. Included breakfast very basic ( not surprising for the original without tax price ) . Eggs and some very small portions of very random (2)things On the plate ( e.g slice of courgette with tomato purée ) One swimming pool filthy with nowhere to sit . Other swimming pool clean with dirty mattresses on some sunloungers ,some without covering . Most loungers without a mattress . Only had one meal at the soulless restaurant . Very small portions for the price , but plated like a trendy bistro - not really suitable for the place . Restaurants near by offer a much better proposition . Charged twice for incidentals , took along time to get a refund , but they were very quick to take payment when it came to paying the bill originally. Staff mostly pleasant . No WiFi in the new wing , restaurant / bar or the pool by the beach . Reminded me of a very cheap package holiday hotel , could not wait to check out !

Construction site which was not told to us by the hotel prior to booking. They start work at 6am and end at 10pm so good luck getting sleep. Animal noises like dog and cats. In the night again making it more difficult to sleep No power at night. Looked like the hotel hasnt got enough power to power everything as the power will trip all the time. Spoke to the staff and eventually after complaining about no ac at night they showed me how to reenable it. But I shouldnt have to wake up at 1am and 2am to fix the power for everyone. Sometimes no water or no hot water No privacy with there only being a mesh net nothing to stop people looking through it No communication of stay in a different hotel upon arrival No chlorine in pool Rude and unhelpful staff. Heard staff making rude comments about guests 5-10minute walk to another hotel for food. To get to the beach you have to walk through a buildings site which is dangerous with live electric cables across the floor not far from water tanks.

We had a unforgettable stay at miramont Retreat. The food amazing, super fresh and local. The breakfast was always made with love and our extra wishes always fulfilled. We had an one hour full body massage wich was very relaxing. But the best were the people who worked there, everybody was so lovely and welcoming and helpful. For example when you needed medical assistence,they did the best to get you natural medicine. We stepped into a sea urchin and got approached by a jellyfish when we were in nungwi and the people from the hotel literally did everything to comfort us. We always felt save and comfy. Pool and garden area are very beautiful, we saw a chameleon and a bushbaby. Miramont Retreat made to extended our stay because we loved it there so much. Greetings go out to everyone Julia & Laura

Bungalow supérieur à l'étage(B11,B12) très agréable entouré de végétation . Jardin très bien entretenu . Personnel de nettoyage efficace et toujours souriant . Par contre comme l'année dernière , petit déjeuner très moyen , en particulier le minuscule petit bol de fruits frais . Et certains matins le manque de lait , de pain ou de confiture paraît incroyable dans une telle structure !!! La literie est également à surveiller ainsi que la qualité de l'eau des piscines . C'est cependant un endroit que je conseillerais à des amis en espérant pour eux que mes remarques négatives seront prises en compte ...Merci d'avance .

Рай на земле)
При встрече нас на ресепшн нам сказали "Добро пожаловать в рай"! Так и есть! Это тихое и спокойное место, нет приставал, море в 50 м, прекрасная лаундж зона. Жили в номерах SW (с видом на море), GW (вид на сад), бунгало (приехали изначально на три дня, а дальше продлевали). Территория отеля очень компактная и уютная: 2 бассейна, 2 эт.ресторан,3эт.корпус (sw и gw) и 1/2этажные бунгало; территория охраняема круглосуточно; прекрасный зеленый сад. В номерах есть только самое необходимое: кровать с чистым бельем и полотенцами, кондеционер, раковина, душ, стеллажи для хранения, 2 тумбы, в корпусе также балконы со стульями. Есть вай фай,но медленный. Редко и ненадолго отключают электричество. У нас завтраки включены в стоимость,мы брали испанские: омлет, тост с гуакамоле, просто тост, овощная нарезка, тарелка с фруктами, чай/кофе/молоко/напитки сколько угодно. Ресторан работает до 22-23 часов, можно заказать покушать/выпить, алкоголь в том числе. Персонал очень отзывчив, улыбчив, решали все наши вопросы, говорят на английском. В отеле чаще всего останавливаются европейцы, небольшая часть русскоговорящих. Пляж песчаный, чистый, но большое количество водорослей. В океане бывают большие отливы, тогда можно прогуляться до рифа, но острожнее с ежами,их много. В приливы вода доходит до забора отеля. Прекрасное место за свои деньги! Спасибо персоналу за комфортный отдых!

Cet hôtel est sympa, il est grand et un nouveau bâtiment avec vue sur la mer est tout récent (2mois) le bâtiment manque donc de finition et ne semble pas terminé cependant la vue est magnifique L’hôtel n’est pas idéalement situé, il n’y a pas grand chose à faire à part profiter des piscines, car la mer est pleine d’algues et d’oursins Cependant il y a des excursions à faire si besoin Le petit déjeuner est très bon ainsi que les repas, pour des prix plutôt abordables En bref, disons que l’hôtel a un bon rapport qualité prix

Haben uns nicht wohl gefühlt
Wir haben uns nicht wohl gefühlt, was aber auch daran liegen kann, dass wir zuvor von der Unterkunft Kiganja unmittelbarer Nähe verwöhnt waren. Der Eindruck des Bungalows war nicht der von Sauberkeit. Unserer lag am Pool, wo es teilweise sehr laut war. Das Bett hat bei jedem umdrehen sehr laut geknarrt. Wegen der rumänischen Leitung gibt es viele Kunden aus Rumänien. Die gleichen, die am Pool laut Party machten, behielten die Liegen im Hof zum Strand fast sämtlich belegt, ohne stundenlang dort wieder zu erscheinen. Gut organisiert war der Ausflug zum schnorcheln. Das Riff an der Insel Mnemba hat allerdings schon sehr gelitten, und es waren sehr viele Boote und Menschen dort. Das Essen haben wir nicht gut vertragen und hatten tagelang Verdauungsstörungen, was uns in 2 Wochen zuvor nicht passiert war. Das Frühstück war nicht gut und auch zu wenig, obwohl wir nicht gerade viel essen. Der Kaffee war einmal trinkbar, einmal ungenießbar. Alle anderen Unterkünfte auf Sansibar von Kizimkazi bis Matemwe und Stone Town haben wir mit 4-5 Sternen bewertet.

We are quite sorry about the way you have received the experience with us. Just want to say it is a joyful place where people can and do have fun. About pool party, that comes to an end around 10 o clock, since we don t want to disturb some of our guests. Other than that, we try to do our best for every single one of our guests and the important thing at hand here is to take into account that we are a B%B facility not a luxury hotel, so according to the price paid on accommodation, there should be a certain level of expectation. Thank you! Regards Miramont Retreat
