I was quite excited to transfer to Amaan Bungalows because the brochure showed the bungalows on the water. Unfortunately this is NOT the case - it's just clever photogrpahy. So right off the bat my girlfriend felt robbed. But that was just the start of a horrid experience. Ok so there was no electricity. They had a generator that ran... More

The standard rooms are nice and large with good bathrooms/showers and a couple of chairs outside on a shared balcony. Definately the best cheapie in the area. Breakfast was also really good, a buffet with different things each day. We stayed both in seaview and gardenview bungalows, and the view is great from the seaview ones, but water pressure is...

We loved Amaan Bungalows. I sourced out 5-6 others, in person, and settled on their property for a variety of reasons such as: proximity to water(very important to us); cleanliness; price ($120 US for waterfront); casual atmosphere; access to restaurants and bars not to mention air con and private hot water tank in each bathroom. That being said, that was... More

We moved to Amaan Beach Bungalows after one terrible day at Nungwi Inn. Amaan Bungalows have nice large rooms with good bathrooms. The air-conditioners are the old style and therefore a bit noisy but they work well just the same. They provide additional towels to take to the beach which is excellent and change all towels each day. They have... More

I stayed here just last week, and I highly recommend not to stay at this hotel because of reasons below. 1. They only accept cash. They don't have ATM, so when you are short of cash, then you have to swipe your card with 20 % fee. 2. Stink from a room For the first time to enter the room,... More

We paid for a 'Sea View' room w/ private balcony, however, we got a 'Tree View' with shared balcony. 1) Room - We visited their website and believed we would be getting a room with a nice wooden deck set on stilts out over the water where my partner could get sun. They first put us in a room facing... More

I stayed here on my 5th trip to Zanzibar - its a couple of doors down from the place I used to stay (I decided to step up a level from the low-budget place I used to go). I knew the location was great, and chose to stay in a Sea View room. These look out onto the sea, and... More

Do Not Stay Here. This place is a run down casino, designed to take as much money from you as possible, at every angle. Everything is overpriced. There are no ATMs in the area, with the exception of the hotel, which charges you a 10 percent fee to swipe your card and give you shillings (they won't give your dollars).... More

We stayed at Amaan Beach Bungalows at the end of August. We had initially reserved a deluxe garden room but upgraded to anocean view room. The rooms not on the ocean are not worth the price- just a standard hotel room overlooking a patch of grass. It was $150 for the ocean view room and $120 for the deluxe garden... More
