Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I am extremely happy with my stay, not only because of how comfortable my room was, but especially because of how helpful my host, Bunda, was throughout my entire stay. He walked me through the village to show me where to buy local food, he helped me understand local prices and some basic Swahili phrases and words, he walked with me to nearby properties where I could access the beach, and he even walked along the beach all the way to the other side of Kilindoni with me to Juani! He called a boda boda (motorbike) for me when I had to get to Utende for scuba diving, and always greeted me when I arrived back at the property. He was there when I needed help or wanted company, but he was also kind and gave me space when I was looking for solitude. I felt very safe and welcomed as a solo female traveler.
Negative: This one small thing wasn't the end of the world for me, but it was still slightly disappointing - unfortunately, I think because the small fridge gets turned off occasionally to save on electricity (understandably), I had to throw away some leftover food that I stored in the fridge because ants got in and took over my food. I thought I had a tightly sealed container, but turns out the ants are small enough to find a way! Oh well - just keep this in mind if you stay here and store your food in the fridge! :)
Summary: 100% recommend this homestay to anybody, solo or a group, who'd like a local experience in Mafia!
