Langi Langi Beach Bungalows

The hotel is absolutely amazing. It’s very quiet, peaceful with small and cozy territory where you can find animals just walking around. The staff was so hospitable and helped us book the trip to Mnemba island. I really enjoyed lying on the deck and watching the water rising, the best part for me was swimming right off the stairs of the hotel (once the water is up). The walk on the beach was also very pleasant :)

Langi Langi is in desperate need of upgrading to compete with the other hotels neighbouring,. The food is very basic and the wifi is worse than intermittent, no good if you’re needing to work a few hours per day as speed is too slow and most of the time not working. When checking out and finalising my bill I was charged 5% charge for my card payment, it seems that there is no set limit for charges so either pay in cash or challenge the percentage. The view from the bar / restaurant is truly amazing to watch the boAts go by and of course the wonderful sunsets.

We booked the 3rd floor room because of the expansive view. The location was perfect, right in front of the ocean. It was breathtaking!!. To me this was the best part as I could watch the coming and going of the tides. An ideal place to recover, relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility. We were in one of the sea view rooms with balcony which was ideal for watching the evening sunsets over the ocean. As long as I closed my eyes to the rundown aspects of the stinking bathroom, I truly enjoyed my stay there. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because of the bathroom issue. Loved the outside dining on the deck and lounging area. A few steps down and you're right in the ocean ..... awe-amazing! The pool area was very relaxing with birds chirping and beautiful flowers everywhere. Rasta the owner, has created a little wonderland with amazing lush green enclave with few free-roaming domesticated animals on his property. Love seeing the dwarf antelope! The room does need a little more maintenance but I understand how hard it’s to keep the properties near the ocean in perfect state. If you wish to experience true Zanzibar warmth and welcome ….. then Langi Langi is the place. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Conclusion: Overall it a beautiful place, we will surely come back again although, it's a long trip from Canada.
