卡蘭巴度假村(Karamba Eco Boutique Hotel)

Hemos estado 3 días en Karamba Resort y es una excelente opción tras unos días de safaris por Tanzania. Un buen alojamiento para la gente que busca relax, tranquilidad, buen servicio, vistas y atardeceres impresionantes. Decoración sencilla, rústica, auténtica, elegante y con buen gusto. Todos los empleados encantadores. Muy buena comida. Muy recomendable!!

Na 8 dagen perfecte en gave Safari chillen op Zanzibar. We waren er helemaal klaar voor. Witte stranden, blauwe zee, leuk fris huisje. Dat was een deceptie toen we aankwamen bij karamba. Super vriendelijk personeel. Ons huisje voir 5 personen was heel klein en benauwd. Gelukkig kregen we tegen betaling De honeymoon suite. Prima qua grootte. Alleen met 3 pubers is WiFi op je kamer een vereiste. De eigenaresse begreep dat en heeft ons ook nog geholpen met zoeken. Daarnaast vonden wij alles een beetje smoezelig. De lakentjes over kussens etc. Het was niet wat we hoopten waar we terecht zouden komen. Na een prima ontbijt zijn we naar een andere locatie gegaan.

Un sitio paradisiaco para relajarse. Apartado de los demás hoteles, con una playa allí mismo y una piscina con vistas al mar espectacular. Te puedes tomar un mojito en las tumbonas... un placer! No nos dio tiempo a probar el yoga ni los masajes... una pena! Hizo mala mar y no pudimos salir a nadar con los delfines, que habría sido un plus. Eso si, la cocina es un poco lenta, no hay que ir con prisa.

Es el lugar ideal para viajeros que busquen autenticidad, tranquilidad y desconectar en un entorno de naturaleza virgen. El alojamiento se compone de cabañas individuales de diferentes características y precios, con una decoración típicamente africana, muy isleña y donde el protagonista indiscutible es el mar. Con zonas comunes de ensueño para relajarse y ver increíbles puestas de sol. La comida es deliciosa y de calidad. Es la segunda vez que vamos y estamos deseando volver a este paraíso. Deben abstenerse los turistas que busquen alojamientos tipo todo incluido, con toboganes para niños, espectáculos...etc.

The Karumba Eco Lodge was terrific. A wonderful complement to your time in Stonetown, Nungwi or other resorts - it is relatively undeveloped area and of course you get the dolphins. We chose it as it was recommended by the excellent Bradt guide to Zanzibar and appeared to a good location. We had 4 nights which meant we enjoyed the dolphins, snorkelling and also you can walk across to one of the oldest Mosques in East Africa. The food is excellent and much better than the other walkable hotels. The service and team are outstanding. The lounge and bar are a wonderful spaces with couches and shade. WiFi is here too. I saw there were some indifferent reviews on TripAdvisor and unfortunately I suspect these are because people have different expectations. This is a rustic lodge. There isn’t aircon or hot water but there are lovely rooms that all face the ocean and are a step away from a beautiful swim. There are lots of insects but that’s how it should be… it’s wonderful but if you scream every time you see a beetle then maybe it’s just not the place for you. It was just perfect for us! Thank you to a great team. Jane.

Karamba hotel is nicely located in a Kizimkazi bay. Surrounded by beautiful nature, ocean and plants. The rooms are very simple (so would need refurbishment). Beds are comfortable. Great service, special thanks to Nuru who was always very kind and helpful. The half board package let you choose between breakfast/lunch or breakfast/dinner. We went for the second option and were fully satisfied with the quality and quantity of the meals. The pancakes are wonderful. Bravo to the chef and the service team for their professionalism and kindness. Suggestions for improvement: - better cleaning of the room, especially for outdoor showers - bathroom are old - the manager could be a bit more welcoming and smiling

I cant praise this resort enough. It's an amazing place the owners are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are small but perfect for what I needed. The pool is lovely. The best part about it is the food. It is phenomenal, and the beer is ice cold.

This place is amazing, the location the vibe the people are just outstanding. The hotel is an a simple eco, yet well placed to the environment and perfectly adequate for every day needs, so as long as you're aware and appreciative of the restoration a trip to this slice of paradise will give you you're onto a winner. The beach is close, excursions are easy to arrange - simply chilling in the relaxation areas listening to the ocean and absorbing the views is an experience in itself!! All staff from cook to reception to bar to cleaners to the waiters and waitresses were delightful and extremely friendly and helpful. There were Masai on site too, which gave a rare opportunity to understand their culture and way of life. Myself and my daughter had an amazing time, she chose to speak fluent Swahili with the staff, and there were very many moments of hearty laughter. There's a small family of the native red back monkeys that frequent the gardens, which are gorgeous. I look forward to taking more of my family to this treasured place, it's an absolute tonic 🏝️

We stayed for 10 nights at Karamba Hotel, in the most expensive bungalow. The sheets smelled very badly and had a weird color. Everything smelled terrible and was sticky. The bathroom was extremely greasy. The air conditioning did not work for more than 5 days. We rarely had hot water. The veil above the bed was also dirty and was draping on our faces during the night. The towels - the same. Stinky and of a questionable color. 1 per person, even though when we arrived we had 2 pairs of towels. Everybody had the same issues with their room. We were aware there would be insects and small animals in the room, but not cockroaches :( The food options were very limited. And nobody ever cleaned the tables. For everything we told Gemma, the owner, her answer was: this is Africa. To summarize: 4-5 stars hotel prices for 2 stars services. 300 $ per night for this. But wonderful view and location. It could have been paradise vacation if everything wouldn’t have been so dirty.
