Max Hotel Nungwi

It was close to the beach and convenient to move around and I had a spacious room The stench that was coming from the bathroom

Nothing to like Cats everywhere, which causes pet hairs to be everywhere including chairs. It’s not ideal if your allergic to pets, there’s visible cracks in the doors that allow mosquitoes in your room all night, there’s no switch for the fan in the room so you have to use to use the AC, there’s no hot water either

Great location if you want to be in the hustle and bustle of Nungwi and the staff were lovely! The showers are salt water and sometimes without hot. The laundry service was cheap but again the water ruined some of our clothes.

I liked it! Thank you!

I chose this place for its convenient location and competitive price in the area. The location was good - if you have an organised day trip or excursion, most depart from Mama Mia, which is just a short walk away. 1. Salt water in both the tap and the shower! Never seen this before and it was a terrible experience (2. not even a bottled water provided to wash you teeth) 3. Only one body towel was provided for two guests, and it had a really unpleasant smell, leaving you feeling less clean after a shower. No hand towels were provided. 4. The reception person was never at the reception - when I checked in, a lady let me in saying her boss was minutes away - I never got to see them since I aimed to leave for an 8am excursion, at which time, the reception person had not arrived and I had to wait for them to arrive, the lady was very unfriendly. I would definitely avoid staying here again for this price, I really hope this review helps management change this as it’s a competing price for the zone, good location but highly over priced and the above should not be acceptable at any price point.

Passable

Great property ! Good breakfast Welcoming staff

I came back to this hotel after the safari! Really good place !

Location quite, breakfast good Tap water was salty

Passable

I was pleasantly surprised by the service and the cleanliness of the rooms! The mattress was comfortable and the pillows were good. Excellent value for money, and I would definitely recommend this nice place.

Thank you, I liked everything! I already stayed overnight in this hotel and came back.

The hotel has a perfect central location in Nungwi, with many cafes, bars, shops, and more nearby. Despite this, the street where the hotel is situated is quiet. The atmosphere at the hotel is calm and comfortable. At the reception, I was able to buy a SIM card at a reasonable price, because outside the hotel they tried to sell me a SIM card for three times the price, which was outrageous. The water in the shower is quite salty, but it didn't cause me any discomfort. They have their own water well, which I found to be excellent, and I am confident that the water is safe for my health. They provided drinking water for brushing teeth. By the way, the drinking water was available in unlimited quantities and was free of charge. The breakfast was good. The staff helped me get around Nungwi and gave me a lot of useful advice. I parked my rental car near the hotel without any issues. I can recommend this hotel if you are on a tight budget and do not require luxury.

Great experience. This was the only hotel in Zanzibar out of the five I booked that had really good water pressure! The water was also hot and came on instantly—you didn't have to wait or adjust the shower like in other hotels. Only at the end of my vacation in Zanzibar, staying at Max Hotel, was I able to have a proper shower, which is amazing... The breakfast was delicious. My stay at the hotel lasted only one night, and I deeply regretted not booking more nights at Max... It's time for me to head home. Zanzibar is a very beautiful island. ?‍♀️

Loved the proximity of the property from the beach and other useful places. The property is spacious and have lots of trees and dedicated small sofa and table outside the room to relax and listen to birda chirping all day. Breakfast is filling and has variety to choose from. Staff is friendly especially the ladies who clean the rooms regularly. They are super hospitable and makes the room like new. I liked majority of the things in the property. They also provide drinking water. Constructive crticism: All the faucets in the property release salt water for use and has a distinct rusty odour to it (Probably from the well it is stored in). So even after shower it feels like you have salt all over your body. Brushing the teeth becomes a problem and taking a shower with cuts and bruises if you have hiked before will be another problem. The water gets clogged in the bathroom after shower. Only the toilet needs some maintenance and proper drainage. Otherwise the room is cosy and spacious. Another issue i faced is not having window panes in any of the rooms. The outside voices might disturb you in the morning while sleeping. I was traveling solo. But the guest just right infornt of my room were a couple. Everyone in the property could hear all kinds of voices from their room. So if you are a couple on your honeymoon and need some privacy please avoid.

Well located close to the beach Friendly staff Excellent breakfast The water from the taps is super salty

Fantastically convenient location, very helpful staff, I liked everything.

Pleasant

I had a great night's sleep, my room was clean and the water pressure was strong! And I was finally able to wash myself with hot water!!! In other hotels the water was barely warm. Breakfast was good and served in a very nice place decorated with shells! The free drinking water was also nice. The place matches the description. I will be back Mr Dickson was very helpful! Yes everything was fine, I have nothing to complain about
