The hotel is a bit away from the beach, but I Loved the fact that they had private guest taxis to the beach and a walking guide on site should you choose to walk. The food was good and the staff were so kind and attentive! Made the place feel so welcoming. Wish I had stayed longer. Lovely hotel.

People there is so nice … Beach Club in Nungwi beach is perfect for enjoy the beach and why the tide is low you can enjoy the pool in the hotel, so it’s perfect.
Food is so good and the breakfast buffet is delicious.
At first impression rooms looks a little be basic but they have everything that you need

Probably very nice for families (maybe not the best option for couples etc)
Good breakfast
Very nice simplistic and superbly clean room
Great bed
Balcony
Good A/C
Beach club is a nice addition (but see below)
Very few sunbeds at the pool
The location of the beach club is not the best (not really a beach, but you can swim in the seagrass)
No fridge in room (there's space for it so maybe it's coming later)

Disappointing
Food, beach, private transport, staff at the lodge, cleaning ladies, good wifi, a bit cold pool but still good.
I dropped my husband's wallet on their small, but private beach and in a matter of minutes someone took it. ...I know this is not stealing, but still this ruined my stay at the property because it was only staff present at the moment and they tried convincing me that maybe I didn't have the wallet with me. That made me feel like an idiot and left a bitter taste for me.

It’s very close to the beach and good restaurants
Very clean and tidy
Was quiet and peaceful
Poor breakfast,all the time the same things! In one of the days the ham was very bad and the watermelon was with a sour taste!
The receptionist was telling us almost every day that there are no beach towels
The towels from the room were very old and used
The mattress is very uncomfortable

Beach club away from the lodge offering an added experience where you can bask in the sun, interact with locals and enjoy a good swim

Very Good
Very clean and comfortable bed. Staff are nice too. Location near to beach and main road. We opted for half board, the food is ok but can be better. Bar and dining area is nice. Only thing like others said, the beach club is somewhere else. The road to get to that place is rough and passing through the villagers' home.
No fridge and kettle for making coffee in room

Disappointing
The rooms were modern.
The bedroom door didn’t lock so we were left exposed all night. The staff were not friendly and welcoming. A lot of the plugs didn’t work. The dinner options was very limited it was not good at all.

Lunch selections were ok
Beds were bad: not a double bed but two separate beds and even the mattresses were different thickness/hardness. One bed even got broken during our stay.
Toilet didn't flush properly.
The hotel is not by the beach.

The staff at Kibanda lodge are extremely helpful and friendly, always trying their best to help us and accommodate us. We enjoyed our stay even though there were a few hiccups. The lodge is under renovation / building new units so there was that noise and construction during our stay. They even let us use the next door room’s shower when ours didn’t work and tried their best to get it fixed on time. They didn’t have another room to accommodate us but the kind host Francheska gave us complimentary drinks to apologise for the inconvenience.
Mercy also decorated my room for my birthday - thank you, I loved it.
The food is also pleasant- you have a set menu you choose from. There’s a starter and main for lunch. And dinner you get a starter main and dessert. These are portioned size meals and not buffet style. The full board only included meals and water no other drinks.
No other snacks and drinks through out the day. I’m mentioning this because if you’re looking for all inclusives with drinks - this isn’t it.
Beach club is away from lodge but there’s a driver and taxi to take you and bring you back. You have breakfast and dinner at the lodge, lunch is at the beach club. I liked that they had security watching the beach club and tourists/ guests because the locals do tend to trouble you a lot to buy stuff.
I actually enjoyed the beach club area. It’s vibey and they usually have good music playing. The sunsets here are quiet!
Noise / shower not working

Location was excellent, loved the Nungwi vibe. Secure, clean, safe property with very attentive staff. Nice pool area for lazy days. Lots of beach front cafes and restaurants nearby for a change of scene. Although the beach club was not in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, it was great to have this facility to get some r&r away from beach vendors.
Air conditioning was temperamental but understandable given the general infrastructure of the country.
