    We got great value for our money at Maisha Marefu Apartments. The room was clean and well-equipped, and the view was amazing. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the beautiful beach. The staff was friendly and made us feel at home.

    The morning meal could have been improved with more consistency in the offerings. Some days we got fruit, yoghurts, and sausages, while other days we didn't.

    We had a fantastic stay at Maisha Marefu in Kiwengwa. the warm welcome and assistance from Lara, the host, made us feel right at home. the apartment was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. the view from the apartment was breathtaking, and the beach was just a short walk away. the staff were friendly and the facilities, including the pool and garden, were well-maintained and peaceful. the fresh fruit and coconuts provided for breakfast were a delightful treat. Maisha Marefu is highly recommended, especially for families. Exceptional value for money. Thank you Lara, Jessica, Winny, and Rama for an unforgettable vacation. Cons: All was good. 👍.

    I came with my mom for a week and chose Maisha Marefu. Lara, the owner, took care of us and even surprised my mom for her birthday. The service was great and the place had everything we needed, from AC to a private pool and beach access. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated, with a comfortable bed and a great shower. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was healthy. Highly recommend for a great time. Thank you Maisha Marefu Team!

    Can just recommend this hotel.

    Everything about our stay at this accommodation was absolutely mind-blowing! The host, Lara, was super kind and helpful, even taking us on an adventurous trip to the local grocery stores. The staff was incredibly polite and the cleanliness of the place was jaw-dropping. The apartment had all the necessary amenities like AC, fans, a spacious shower, a terrace, and even a private pool. The highlight was definitely the private beach access with comfortable seats and the healthy breakfast served every morning. This place exceeded all of our expectations and we would highly recommend it to anyone, especially families with children. The location was also great with beautiful nearby beaches and various activities to enjoy like hiking, fishing, snorkeling, and more. The saltwater and infinity pools were perfect for relaxation, and the massages provided by Joyce were truly amazing. an unforgettable experience that we would definitely repeat if we were to visit again.
