Fabulous stay, great location and everyone super nice! We took trips and the staff/owners couldn't have been nicer. The image is from our Whale Shark excursion, I love it! Such a moody day but we reached and found these beautiful, gentle sea giants. 🤍🖤🤍

The staff and dedication to detail was outstanding. The place is very well taken care of and the food was excellent. We got upgraded to the newly built rooms. The area was quiet and the balcony was overlooking the sea. We felt like we were in paradise!! They made a big effort to make it eco friendly, which we loved. We will definitely go back! Thank you to all the staff for an unforgettable experience

excellent accommodation in utende village. the staff is super friendly, attentive and helpful. the rooms are beautifully done, breakfast is fresh, delicious and more than enough. the dinner for 12$ is reasonably priced, you get a starter, a main and drinks and it‘s delicious. keep in mind that you‘re staying in the village and not on the beach. they lend you bicycles for the 5 minute ride and the drive is really nice. if i ever return to mafia i‘d stay there again. asante tena:)

The food was delicious. The staff were very accommodating, and the location is close to all of the major activities i.e. snorkeling, sailing, tours, scuba, … I also really like that Mafia BB is the only locally owned accommodation with all local staff. All of the other locations I visited in Utende are owned by foreigners with a slightly uncomfortable dynamic with local staff.

Simply love this place! Everyone in the staff help you get the best experience on mafia island. They arrange great tours that we really enjoyed. Best experience by far was the whale shark snorkeling. The place is small with few bungalows which make the place really friendly where everyone says hello to each other. The location is also great close to the beach and Kilindoni and the airport. Theres a bar and smaller restaurant which serves great food. Really recommend this place!

The staff was magnificent, kind, and attentive. The facilities are new and beautiful. The pool was perfect to relax in and cool off. The location is centrally located, we even walked to and from the airport. They called for transportation to scuba diving and whale shark tours. The food was excellent and plentiful. We ate all our meals there for 6 days. And the staff was wonderful. All 5 of us in our group, after a month of traveling, highly recommend Mafia Dream

Some nice different options for various tours in the marine park. Not really a beach there, and the little sand available is occupied by working fisherman; either side is mangrove. There is a sandbar further out you can visit. Better to stay outside to avoid the marine fees and only pay them when you need to enter it as nicer beaches elsewhere.
