Kajibange BAR & Guest House — Restaurant in Unguja

I made a big mistake booking my hotel here. Knew it was a mistake the minute I checked in. I am an older (dare I say elderly?) woman traveling along, so maybe I shouldn't have booked at a "bar", but it sounded fun online, nope. Room was nasty smelling and didn't feel secure, wifi in "common areas" means at the bar on chairs in the dirt and the dark. Spent the night, felt unsafe and uncomfortable, discussed in the morning and said I wasn't comfortable and was there any problem cancelling rest of my stay. Guy behind bar says no problem, helps me get a ride to another hotel. And then it gets truly messed up ... refuse to refund me remaining nights. Ignoring texts, emails, etc. When I finally get through they say they can't refund because it's up to expedia. expedia says the hotel refused multiple times to refund. Just save yourselves the headache, there are many nice places to stay in Nungwi - just...

Well done cafe staff! The guys are very professional! Food is ok. That's all. The prices are very high, in dollars!!! I have not seen a menu in dollars in any Nungwi cafe. The cafe has a sunbathing area. One sun lounger costs $10. We briefly went to the beach opposite the cafe to swim. We bought a small bottle of Coca-Cola and water for Sh12,000 from a cafe and drank it all while sitting on the concrete path separating the sunbathing area from the ocean. The cafe owner wanted to charge us another Sh50,000 for 20 minutes spent on the concrete path. We had dinner at this cafe. Every day we buy drinks when we go swimming at Nungwi beach opposite the cafe. The cafe owner needs to think about how to attract customers, and...

This was a really nice place to stay at, a clean and big room, a beautiful garden, a perfect location, a unique spot on the island near the fisherman village, and just some minutes away from the crowdy Nungwi beaches.

The staff at the bar and kitchen were very polite and friendly, we even come back on our last night in Zanzibar to have a dinner and couple of drinks because it was so good. Try octopus salad and calamari curry – delicious! The drinks are very good as well, get yourself a Martini cocktail right away 😊

Thank you, Kajibange Guesthouse, and thanks to the owner who gave us a ride to our next stop at the island.

I hope to see you again,...
