Guest reviews for Kileleni
"Great staff (Ali and team were extremely welcoming and kind), amazing view, beautiful surroundings and very nice food (big portions!). Just overall relaxing and cosy feel, while being in a small paradise."
"We actually liked everything. Only the swimming pool was staining blue paint, which wasn’t great for our skin and swimwear. But they were going to look into it."
"Great food, great staff, amazing pool, fantastic views."
"bed was a little too firm for my liking."
"Peaceful, quiet, serene ambiance. Great for relaxation and creative work. Good food. Excellent staff. Spacious room and bathroom. Nice veranda. Wifi working well. Good amenities in the bathroom.."
"Steep descent to the beach. Swimming pool was not operational at the time I was there (maintenance or repair)."
"Amazing food, friendly staff, great pool and a good shower. Drinking water available the entire day. Big rooms with a nice lounging area in front of each bungalow. Pick-up and drop-off are included."
"The blue paint of the pool gets on your skin. It can be a bit hard to wash it off."
"Ali and his team were attentive, engaging and energetic, making our stay one of our best holidays ever. The food was excellent, and the excursions arranged through Ali were fun, very worthwhile, and always delivered. The lodge has added little personal touches and attention to detail that you don’t get anywhere else."
"Absolutely nothing."
"Best accomodation of the island, very private with all services, great pool, close to the beach and a fantastic restaurant and bar. Super relaxed and only 3 bungalows with great bed and outside terrace. Brilliant place!"

"We loved every moment of our stay at Kileleni! The place is utter paradise and the friendly, helpful staff went the extra mile to ensure we were happy at all times. Communications were amazing from the booking stage right up to checkout, with excellent advice and helpful assistance. I generally like to visit new and different accommodations when I travel... but would like to go back to Kileleni!"

"Lovely small hotel set up above the sea with amazing views. The rooms are very spacious with huge comfortable beds and excellent AC and fans. There is a lovely infinity pool to relax by. The staff are wonderful . They are so helpful and friendly and they really look after you. . Mafia is a very quiet and undeveloped Island so come here to relax. It is not an Island of sandy beaches as it is fringed by Mangroves.There is excellent scuba diving and snorkeling and the opportunity to see Whale Sharks. You can arrange to have a relaxing massage in the hotel.You are also able to walk along the shore for miles and see no one. So beautifull. There are no nearby restaurants so you will need to eat in the hotel."

"Everything! The place was fantastic, the room was excellent, the staff was amazing. I strongly reccommend it."
"My stay was too short, I would have loved to stay few more days."
"We absolutely loved our stay at Kileleni. It’s a great little hotel, the perfect place to chill out or enjoy the island from. The rooms and grounds are beautifully looked after and the pool is a great spot for a dip. The food was all very nice but the best thing about the place was definitely the staff. Ali and his crew were so kind and friendly, there wasn’t anything they wouldn’t do to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Would definitely recommend for your stay in Mafia Island."

"Veramente favoloso! La posizione è perfetta per raggiungere il nyerere National park. Il proprietario è gentilissimo e molto disponibile, ha organizzato per noi la visita al parco. Anche lo staff è preparato e gentilissimo. Lavorano al campo anche dei Masai che ti accompagnao la sera in camera e ti aiutano con le valige. La struttura affaccia direttamente sul fiume in una posizione sicura e rialzata e da qui si può organizzare un safari in barca della durata di circa due ore in cui si possono vedere coccodrilli, vari tipi di uccelli e ippopotami. La vista dalla camera è dalla zona comune è spettacolare. La camera è pulita e spaziosa e con una vista meravigliosa. Ulteriore nota positiva è il cibo, cucinato internamente sul fuoco e veramente buonissimo. Ogni dettaglio del campo, dagli alloggi alla cucina, è curato e garantisce un'esperienza immersiva. Riassumendo....meraviglioso e fortemente consigliato."

"Friendly host, clean and spacious room, perfect location for a flight (and still just 15 min by car to the city center). Would stay again!"

"The value here was phenomenal. Nice hotel right next to the center of Stonetown but off the main tourist path enough that it feels quiet and secluded. Great shower and decent size room."
"Clean and the hosts always available for anything needed."
