The hotel offers a delightful experience with breath-taking sea views that change daily. The well-maintained grounds provide a nature-immersed atmosphere. The lunch and dinner options were delicious and diverse, while breakfast portions were generous with a varied selection. The dedicated staff consistently demonstrated friendliness and helpfulness, contributing to the overall positive atmosphere. Despite some Google reviews being off the mark, the charm of this place lies in its connection to nature, stunning vistas, sea activities, and a touch of African culture. Ideal for those who appreciate a magical setting near a fishing village, where watching children play and fishermen on dhows adds to the enchantment.

Stayed at karamba for one night. Booked a room directly at the hotel, at check-in time we were advised that we had booked a standard room but at the time of check-out, the staff and owner argued that we were staying in a superior room (with no air conditioning) which was 20 USD higher than what we booked. They also charge a much higher exchange rate for USD to TZS compared to the standard rate at other hotels and local vendors, which is a huge rip off. Only pros are friendly and warm staff, and tasty food with good portion served. It is a calm and peaceful place, with great views and located on a secluded stretch. Make sure you confirm the room type and price before booking to avoid getting charged a higher price.

I spent 11 nights with my girlfriend in this hotel. It was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, typical, amazing view and beach. We took the room on the beach with the jacuzzi. The food is very good and fresh from the local fisherman. The service is very great as the hotel is quite small. It is a place to rest. They gave us great advices for trip. Don't rent a car, take taxi/driver it is much better and cheaper. It is 30 min by car from Jambiani. It was a pleasure

Rooms are dirty and room service needs constant reminding to bring clean towels and cleaning the floors and adding new coffe/ tea bags… Every day something broke in the room. Poor quality of everything in the room. Laundry service is extremely expensive! And half of our laundry disappeared for several days an I had to spend hours discussing/ explaining/ waiting at the reception to actually get our stuff back. Dolphin tour offered by the hotel is the unethical one (crazy speeding between dolphins and swimming people). The trip also included snorkelling at a riff, but instead they brought us snorkeling to the hotel beach…. (Not a riff). From positive side - the views are amazing! Overall atmosphere is very nice, a lot of space and areas to rest. Most of the staff is very friendly and lovely!

The family room we had was disappoitment for the price paid. Everything you see in the room did not work or stopped working during our stay. Tap and sink loose, sinkhole tube dropping away and lights going off one by one. Wall outlet having its contacts exposed with 240V electricity in family room, I even got electric shot from the exposed contacts. Sand dipping to the bed. Washing service lost some clothes and ruined my white shirt with colored marks, spoiling it. Room service reminded many times to do what they needed to do. The place has generator for cases of blackouts that is standard for the pricerange. Not happy with the staff. Got better experience elsewhere for the smaller price. The location and place: Love the nature and location. Very nice public areas, all that you can see from the pictures. Red-tail apes running wild and gekos on the walls to keep room free from insects. Lot of trees for shade and amazing sunsets views right from the lodge. UPDATE: After posting this review, manager came to apologise and made her best to solve the issues. Also blaiming our children for breaking things, which was not true. I broke one coffe cup and offered to cover the cost. I would give 4 stars for the location.
