If you want peace and quiet in paradise, this is the place. Simple, clean, accommodation with a view to die for The hosts, Colin and Lesley, are the warmest, most welcoming people you could ever meet. The breakfast is fabulous, and if you don't want to eat out in the evening, this is the place to, the freshest sea food you'll get, you certainly won't go hungry Both Colin and Lesley can arrange trips for you and are full of valuable tips and advice, which can make a huge difference on your experience. Can't recommend enough

We had an amazing time. Pros Colin and Lesley - they are the warmest welcoming hosts and will offer lots of advice regarding places to go, how much to pay etc. They are good company and we spent many evenings chatting over a drink. Food - what can I say about the food. Breakfast fills you up for the day consists of pancakes with fresh fruit and a choice of omelettes or English/American breakfast and is included. Colin will cook the most amazing evening meals if requested. The fish is always fresh on the day and the flavours are just sublime. We ate in a few different restaurants - but none compared to the meals we had at Gamefish Lodge. Location - in a quiet location outside of the hustle and bustle of the main resort but still within easy access. Simplicity - Gamefish lodge offers clean basic accommodation with amazing views, beach access, swimming pool but with a personal touch which is a nice change to the soulless all inclusive resorts. Cons Genuinely none that I can think of

Abbiamo soggiornato al Fish Lodge in due coppie di amici, e purtroppo la nostra esperienza non è stata all’altezza delle aspettative. La struttura, purtroppo, avrebbe bisogno di una ristrutturazione urgente: le stanze sono un po’ datate e non perfettamente pulite. Durante il soggiorno, abbiamo notato anche delle formiche in camera, il che non è certo piacevole. La colazione era abbastanza deludente, con poche opzioni e qualità mediocre. La pulizia lascia a desiderare, e nonostante alcune richieste minime, la coppia di proprietari non è sembrata particolarmente disponibile o pronta a soddisfarle. Le uniche note positive riguardano la posizione e l’ambiente circostante. Il resort è infatti ubicato su una splendida spiaggia, in una zona ancora naturale e poco frequentata. Per tutta la settimana siamo stati quasi soli, il che ci ha permesso di godere di un’atmosfera tranquilla e rilassata. In generale, il Fish Lodge ha delle potenzialità, ma per essere veramente competitivo necessita di miglioramenti significativi in termini di pulizia, servizio e struttura.Non consigliato.

This is one of the extraordinary places to relax and keep the stress behind. It’s a simple place, made with love and a vision to give guests a wonderful place at the ocean without the noise of shows, waiters in white shirts around you and pampering comfort. We have been here several times now ( since 2010 ) and enjoy the freedom and hospitality of Lesley and Colin. Definitely not for guests who are seeking the Comfort of big hotels but a cozy place to enjoy the Landscape the beautiful scenery. I was astonished to read some bad reviews ( like Leo G. …) and feel that they didn’t get what makes Game Fish Lodge so unique and authentic. Travellers find here a real gem, in a natural environment with a beautiful pool, and personal freedom.

We were looking for a quiet but quality stay at Nungwi and liked the look of Game Fish Lodge. However, the warm hosts and excellent location rose well above our expectations. Lesley and Colin are always available to guide you on how to make the most of your stay in Zanzibar, which is great for a tourist as there are plenty of ways to waste time and get scammed in the island. We also had great conversations with them over sumptuous meals. Our stay was incredible and we truly missed this kind of service in our next stay in the island. Highly recommended!

Bons cotés : LA propriétaire très sympa, à la différence de son mari. Mauvais côtés : - LE propriétaire grossier et désagréable. - C'est un B&B de facto, pas un lodge, il y a zéro personnel de service : personne ne portera vos bagages, personne ne vous offrira un verre, personne ne vous mélangera un cocktail. - Not for people used to minimal comfort. This place charges like a hotel but is not one, by no means. It's a fish-focused lodge (not client-focused). - Tu paies plus de 120 euros la nuit, et n'as même pas un vrai café (on te propose du café soluble). - Les WC dans la chambre sont très mal isolés sur le plan sonore. - La chambre est mal protégée de la lumière extérieure, et tôt le matin on est déjà dérangés par la lumière. - L'internet est très lent. - Des araignées dans la chambre, et même un ver (!) de 3 cm accroché à un rideau. - La lumière est doublée, il est impossible d'aller aux WC sans allumer une partie des lumières dans la chambre en réveillant l'autre personne quand on vient à deux. - Il n'y a que deux prises (et entre le frigo, l'anti-moustique, la bouilloire, et 2 portables, je fais comment ?), la notice de la chambre parle d'une multiprise, il n'y en avait pas, et impossible d'appeler la réception pr en demander une. - Draps à propreté relative. Oreillers très inconfortables, je me suis réveillé plusieurs fois. - NB : c'est juste une propriété familiale, sans personnel ni services, ce n'est pas du tout pour vous si vous êtes habitué à des hôtels (alors que le pricing du lieu laisse penser à quelque chose de correct). - sur Booking, on avait coché la case qu'on était intéressés par le transfer ; Game Fish Lodge ne nous a jamais contactés pour cela, donc nous avons dû l'organiser nous-mêmes. - LE PIRE : au lieu de vous offrir un cocktail de bienvenue et vous laisser profiter de la plage, on vous fait commencer votre séjour par un briefing imposé, de type scolaire, d'au moins 45 min. Briefing déplaisant, anxiogène. (Le propriétaire sans doute part d'une bonne intention, veut éviter tout souci aux touristes; mais le résultat est juste catastrophique : il parle à fond des intoxications alimentaires, de l'insécurité, des arnaques, du tourisme sexuel, etc.). C'était clairement très grossier, désagréable ! Vous venez à Zanzibar pour passer un moment romantique, idyllique, en amoureux, et le type en présence de votre très jeune épouse parle lourdement et longuement du fait que les femmes viennent à Zanzibar pour se trouver des amants Massaï. Cela peut bien être vrai, mais il n'avait pas à nous en parler et n'avait pas à faire des allusions de ce type à mon épouse. C'était juste embarrassant, a total disgrace! C'est bien de lutter contre le tourisme sexuel, mais ce n'est pas du tout bien d'emmerder des clients venus passer un séjour romantique en racontant des choses sordides à quelqu'un qui n'a rien demandé, c'est juste grossier ! Résultat, après une nuit passée là nous nous sommes ENFUIS de là pour aller à un très bo

Colin and Lesley are excellent hosts and genuine, lovely, friendly people who made our stay in Zanzibar so enjoyable and memorable, we had a fabulous holiday. If you, like us, want to avoid the usual chain-type hotel and are looking for somewhere owner-managed, small, personal and quiet with a great location and a little bit away from the hustle on the beach and streets of Nungwi, this is for you. Colin and Lesley care deeply and work really hard for their guests. You’ll see spectacular sunrises and have direct access to the beach where you can take a short walk to a beautiful sand bar in one direction, or walk a little further in the other direction and find yourself in the busy resort area. There are plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance. You have the best of both worlds! Colin’s cooking is amazing and we loved our breakfasts and several evening meals. There’s a well stocked honesty bar for beer, soda and water so a beer, swim in the pool and a lazy afternoon with our books was a great way to relax. We were so grateful for their guidance on the sights to see and correct prices to pay, and we had a lot of fun using the motorcycle taxis ($1 each into the centre of Nungwi, $2 to Kendwa). Colin’s humour made us laugh so much we were almost crying at times! Overall, Game Fish Lodge is great value, down-to-earth and straightforward, which we loved!

C'était un séjour confortable et chaleureux avec des hôtes merveilleux. Nous avons été accueillis comme des membres de la famille. La qualité de la nourriture est de haut niveau, et vous serez certainement étonné par la taille des portions. Fortement recommandé.
