I (60 years old) lived in the guesthouse for 36 days. I felt very comfortable in the apartment with a sea view. The equipment is simple and sustainable. Juma and Santos were very hospitable, helpful and supported me on my activities across the island. The team is very well organized and friendly. Furthermore, I was provided with reliable motorcycle taxis, tours or on my own with contacts, advice and support, even when I was sick. This clean, cozy house with a beautiful garden, warm hosts, a friendly team and a natural, beautiful and typical ambience is recommended! Flashlight and a bit of leisure is required. It's a 20 minute rocky path through the village to the beautiful beach. However, always very, very entertaining. You can experience a lot here too. I would love to come back and can recommend the accommodation! "IT IS THE EYE WHICH HAS TRAVELLED THAT IS CLEVER"

Kilimani house is a very special place , first the location , close to the beach around 10 minutes walk but just outside the main touristy area where it is too loud and busy. It was such a pleasure to walk back home from the beach and go through the local communities that are so nice and welcoming. Santos , the lovely owner does everything so you feel part of this magical house . Bedrooms are nice and with air … it is a lovely place and breakfassts are amazing so make sure to try them …. If you are looking for the true spirit of what a guesthouse is, this is the right place first you… I spent four nights there so I can really recommend it

I felt at home in the beautifully styled African home - and I really enjoyed the hospitality from the family. They are friendly and caring. The view from my place was stunning - I watched the sunset from there several times. I was volunteer in School of Hope which was just a few minutes away. I liked to live in the village close to the locals and still have the comfort of my own place with bathroom. I have already booked my next stay there.

It was a challenge sometimes with the sounds at night - animals, music and other. When I experienced a challenge at the room e.g. with water not running, Santosh and Juma quickly followed up and fixed the problem. They were really helpful.

Juma is a wonderful host. Any questions you have about the island, any tours you want to organize, places to eat and swim, all very helpful and with a great sense of humour. The top room has incredible views, and the breakfast is fantastic.

A little bit hot although the fan and windows make a huge difference, wifi a little bit slow, harder to walk out at night after the sunset as a solo traveller, but otherwise the location is more than ideal as it is removed from the busy areas of Nungwi.

Felt like home! Hosts attend all our needs very efficiently and kindly. Makes the place very familiar. We enjoyed a comfy bed, really fast wifi and great tasty breakfast with all we need in the morning (coffee, tea, egs, fresh fruits, local bakery, bread etc). Hosts provide anything you need and nicely give useful advice regarding all our questions. We walked through the authentic local community of the island to get to the beach.

Beautiful garden, large spacious rooms, beautiful view, inside the community, lovely and helpful hosts. 10 minute walk to the beach.

Absolutely nothing to complain about. Important notes though for other travellers, roads are pretty rough once in town, wouldn't recommend a small car, the second entrance is not really passable even with a small 4x4 so go in the first if you're travelling in a rental, parking is limited to 1 guest vehicle so check in advance, just in case and be cognisant of the fact that you're staying in the local village, be respectful (don't blare your rock n roll - the guests downstairs?) and drive carefully on their roads - there are children, bicycles etc. so be aware.

The accommodation is a beautiful little paradise perfect for relaxing. It is located about 10 minutes from the beach in a small village full of friendly people. In the kilimani house there are three large rooms which were all designed with love. Overall there is a cozy atmosphere that allows you to relax. It is easy to get into conversations with other guests, to walk to the tourist part of the beach but also reach the quieter part of the beach. You can find Local food on the main road but also reach the touristic restaurants by walk. The host family is super welcoming and can provide you with food and information. They know about tours, restaurants and everything else worth knowing. They also provide very tasty fresh breakfast in the accommodation itself on request. I planned to spend 2-3 days in Nungwi and ended up staying at kilimani house for 5 days, because I felt so comfortable at the house and the beach. I can fully recommend Nungwi in kilimani House.

Amazing guesthouse in the middle of the local village, 10 minutes walking from the tourist area, with beautiful and clean rooms. The first floor room has excellent views and you can relax on the balcony like a boss, can't miss that! Santos is a real top host, super helpful, and she makes the best breakfast on the island, by far! We'll definitely come back next time we're on the island, this place is a must!

The owners are kind and welcoming. Their dog is very sweet. The area is gated, it's a comfy garden area with seashells and plants around. The bed is large and comfortable. The bedroom, bathroom, and private patio are spacious and nice.

The rooms are screened-in with no walls so you can hear everything from outside.. sometimes the baby who lives there is crying, music is playing, the dog is barking, or another guest is talking loudly in their room. You have to keep the curtains open at night so the breeze can get through, so there is not much privacy. It is somewhat tough to walk through the rural area from the main road to get there. There is no kitchen. Restaurants on the main road are about a 15-minute walk (I wouldn't do that walk through the rural area in the dark alone so ate dinner around 5:30 every night).
