Villa Kumi Guest House Nungwi

I’m not sure how all these 5 star reviews got here. I’m leaving 2 stars because the staff and Piero (the dog) are really nice. But the mattresses are old and dip in the middle, rooms are not clean, and the sheets are stained. The towels and sheets all smelled like they were left damp for too long. The WiFi was not good enough to work on most of the time unless the villa was nearly empty and therefore few devices on the network. And finally Stefano got mad at us when we asked him why he charged us $14 for a plate of pasta….

We stayed at Villa Kumi in Nungwi for 4 days as a group of five (3 adults and 2 small children), and we had a truly wonderful time. There is a very warm and friendly atmosphere at the villa, created by the owner Stefano and the rest of the staff — everyone was very welcoming and especially nice toward the children. Breakfast was different each day — one day we had cake, another day eggs with sausages, and another day a delicious avocado spread. The place is very quiet at night, which allowed us to rest peacefully, and the swimming pool could be a great spot to relax during the day. The rooms are clean and spacious enough, with good Wi-Fi throughout the property. If you prefer a smaller, cozy place over large luxury hotels, Villa Kumi is a great choice. The beach is within a 10-minute walk, even with small kids. Highly recommended!
