Kendwa Rasta Style — Hotel in Unguja

We booked kendwa Rasta style because comments seemed to be ok. The Place is nice and peaceful. However, we where not lucky and had many issues. We had to come out 3 times during the showers to tell them that there was no water. Then the AC and fan was not working properly in the room so it was very hot in the room. After asking for a solution they offered us another room that the AC should have worked properly. The fan worked better, however AC stopped working at 23:00 at night. Breakfast was quite pathetic, one mini sandwich with a peace of omelette, one bread with Nutella, one bread with some jam. Three slices of fruit that seemed to be cut the day before because they tasted old. Location is not the best, you need to walk about 20 min to the beach.

This hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the beach. The bungalows are very big and clean and they have air-con, however I will suggest to put more furniture inside such as tables, hangers and maybe a wardrobe since there is plenty of space for it. The food is really good and the staff is so lovely, thanks to Jay and the chef they made our experience fantastic! I am not giving 5 stars just for one reason: Booking and the hotel have miss leaded us completely, we booked a bungalow with two beds and when we arrived, there was no availability since they only have one bungalow, they deffo need to look into this issue, we were not the only ones with the same problem so maybe check with the hotel before booking. Also, bare in mind that they charge a extra fee if you wanna...
