"Property was beautiful, room was comfortable and spacious, excellent breakfast, and staff was wonderful"
"It’s difficult to find, off a dirt road (and near impossible to find at night when we arrived). Recommend printing a map or directions so you can navigate it."
"Everything was great, the host was very helpful and prepared delirious food. We stayed in the hut for couple of days. Very recommend!"

"Aucun."
"The staff, food and rooms. Staff: super friendly and helpful, especially the concierge/cooker Lina. She was always available to help us with what we needed. She even helped us with Safari tours and laundry services. The breakfast: one of the highlights of Mambo! It's very well served and cooked with passion. The rooms: so quiet and peaceful! You wake up with the birds sing."
"The location: it's a bit far out of the tourist track and it can feel a bit unsafe when driving at night. Also, Mambo Hideaway is not in Google Maps. The shower: when several guests take shower at the same time, there is not enough hot water for everyone."
"Mambo Hideaway is a tucked away in a small dirtroad and not so easy to find. We liked the place very much. It was quiet, clean and Lina was very helpfull. We didn't go out for dinner, because of Linas good cooking :)"
"Aucun."
"Everything! Food was delicious, interior of the cabin very cosy and a beautiful garden."
"Aucun."
"Really nice, calm and clean room. Breakfast was amazing. They make whatever you like. Seems a bit outside center, but you can take the “badjadji”(tuk tuk) or taxi and you’re there in a minute. It is also ideally located if you want to visit a coffeefarm or one of the waterfalls. You can go for an organised trip or hike yourself like we did. Tip: negotiate the price for the taxi to citycenter and airport."
"Nothing. It was so perfect!"

"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."

"It has very good and friendly staff..very helpful. I’d recommend it to anyone traveling to stone town"
"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."
Michael Karibu Nyumbani
"Very Staff. Located in the middle of Stone Town. Good breakfast at the Shoki Shoki Hotel. 24h Access due to friendly Maasai guard. All in all 10/10 definitely would recommend."
