Positive: Excellent friendly staff with Hassan the manager being excellent. Great food at affordable prices, especially dinner. The seafood and soups are excellent with generous portions. They lend you bikes to get to and from the beach and dive shops. No air-conditioning in the room but with the fan it was fine as the stone used kept it cool. The showers have working hot water and the room was bigger then expected. They also do laundry where you just tip what's fair depending how much you wash.
Negative: Its a 10-15 minute bike ride to the beach where all the tours and activities start. About a third of the ride is on sandy trails so you need to be a confident bike rider. It's also easy to get lost if you are bad at directions like us and the place is not on google maps yet. Even just placing 1-2 signs or painted posts to follow could make a huge difference. Also just know at utende you need to pay the marine park fee daily if you want to go to the beach.

Positive: We just finished our 3 day stay in Mafia and at Mafia Island Bungalows : it was a lovely stay, all-round : beautiful space for the house, comfortable terrace, perfect bedroom (Upendo - very nicely decorated with local flair, loved it), great bathroom… everything fine! The place is overall very quiet as it sits a little away from the road at the entrance of the Marine Park. We did not meet the owners, who where on a trip off the island : however, they took the time to check-in with us every single day, and it was much appreciated. We also would like to adress a great shout out to the staff : Hassan was very available, without being « too present » / just the right balance; and there is an amazing Chef on premises: we loved the breakfasts and even more the diners! The homemade bread and Chapatis, the soups, the mains and the deserts… everything was delicious ! Well done, we whole-heartedly recommend staying with you when visiting Mafia and hope to come again one day ☺️
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Perfect relaxing spot on Mafia island

Positive: The staff was amazing, very hospitable and took care of everything. Breakfast and dinner was great, they have a really great chef and attentive personnel. They also rented us bikes for free, such that we could drive to the dive shop (~10 minutes by bike). Great and inexpensive stay!

Positive: The design of the bungalows is really really nice and special. It’s very clean and like a little oasis in the palm tree jungle of Utende. But what is even more special is how everyone is taking care of you. The breakfast and the breakfast service with Kanari is exceptional and in the end he even gave me a tour through the village in Utende with local food. The food in general is really reall good (much better than at the beach haha). Breakfast with fresh papaya and lime was also soo good! Whatever you need, everyone tries to make you feel at home. My charging cable broke and I didn’t even have to wait 10 minutes until they organized a new one for me. Great place and you are never alone there. You can rent bikes for free to go to the beach as well and drive through sand pathways, coconut trees and cows :) absolutely recommend to stay there!
Negative: No WiFi and AC for now but they just openend and will have one eventually. Shortly before rain season Mafia Island is just really hot and humid.
Summary: Great boutique oasis within the coconuts of Mafia Island

Positive: lovely staff, great food, peaceful location and lovely rooms! the beach is from 10 mins bike ride away and they offer you bikes for free. the staff was super nice and helpful to organise excursions etc. great value for money!
Negative: the only minus is that the place is so new that not many boda drivers know about it so it can be a little tricky to find (even for me everything coming back got a little lost because i'm not very good at navigating). maybe a sign to the road would help.
Summary: peaceful and lovely new place
