The beds were very comfortable, and the pillows were perfect. The service was great, but the food could be better. The pool was okay but not very clean. With better food and cleanliness, it would be a great stay!…………………………… sante sana!!!!!!

Beautiful place! Nice Staff! Friendly People! They offered snorkeling, wich was the most amazing experience in the bay Just outside the island, just 30 minutes boat ride. The area of the hotel is truly paradise. Will definitly come back if the opportunity presents itself!

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans ce petit coin de paradis. Le lieu est vraiment idéal pour un séjour inoubliable sur l’île Mafia. La nourriture du restaurant était délicieuse, des portions généreuses et nous avons même pu goûter aux plats traditionnels ! Exquis. Les extérieurs sont luxuriants, très propres, bien entretenus, c’est agréable de se balader de notre chambre jusqu’au bar de plage en passant par la grande et belle piscine. Toute l’équipe a été très accueillante du début jusqu’à la fin de notre séjour et toujours soucieuse de notre bien être. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison, supplément vue sur l’océan indien. Un grand grand merci à toute la nouvelle équipe du BaseCamp Mafia Island, nous avons passé un séjour formidable grâce à vous ! Asante sana, tutaonana tena ! Astrid et Dimitri.

We had a wonderful stay. The staff was amazing and we loved our room . The hotel is very well kept and beautifully maintained. We will miss the view, the warm sea, the great food and the amazing people. Snorkelling and lunch on a sand dune was the best. We will come again next year!
