Sarah “Great place to stay in mafia”
22 May 2025
Very good value for money and everything was nice. I highly recommend to stay in Mgeni homestay.
Sophia “100% recommend this homestay to anybody, solo or a group, who'd like a local experience in Mafia!”

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.

I really liked and valued everything about Mgeni Homestay. Bcause it was my first time to come to Mafia Island, I was able to contact Mr.Ally (The owner of Mgeni Homestay) in advance and he was very kind to guide me all way from understanding how to travel from Dar-es-salaam to Mafia to buying the Ferry/Ship ticket until arrival at Mgeni Homestay. Upon arrival I was warmly received, registered my stay, paid and went to the cozy and beautifully clean room. I really enjoyed the delicious, numcious African breakfast that was served to me at Mgeni, ......in general I really had precious memories at Mgeni. I will surely return back to Mgeni when I go to Mafia.
Gaia “Basic but perfect value for money and authentic”

Ally is the perfect host, very kind, helpful and responsive. He organized for a tuk tuk to pick us up at the airport on arrival and he called one for us anytime that we needed it. He’s also very helpful to organize tours and activities. Location is great, outside of the marine park area so there’s no tax to pay everyday and it’s where locals live. Close to the beach and a few min of tuk tuk to the airport area where there are a few nice places to eat, it’s also possible to go there walking, which we did every time, you just need the torch. Also not far away from the marine park by tuk tuk. Room is basic but exactly as in the pictures, pretty spacious and clean. There is no hot water but that honestly is not a problem at all considering the temperatures, besides, I think this is the same in pretty much the whole island. Breakfast is good and they are also very flexible on the time if asked. Value for money is great so overall it’s the perfect place to explore Mafia on a budget. Hope to come back. Asante sana!
