Really bad experience, poor breakfast menu and bad service. Not attentive personell, unpleasant athmosphere. Only good thing is that it’s on the ocean front but in general that doesn’t justify the long staffing jammed trip from dar es salaam to the place out of the city.

Very bad air-conditioning. Charged for garden-view room but gave a room at the far back because the A.C. in the front room was not effective. It was not effective in the other room too but it had a small wall mounted fan, not very effective but livable. The New Year party was an apology - cold food, no variety show, just songs. Food service too was not up to the mark. Staff behaviour was good, the staff was helpful (though the attention to local guests was minimal).

I like staying at Mediterranio Hotel even if the journey from the airport is longer. The staff is courteous, the breakfast is very good and I can sleep well at night and recover from the long flight. If I travel to Tanzania via Dar es Salaam again, I will choose the Mediterranio Hotel to arrive.

Great atmosphere and tasty food. Walking into the property with its lush green gives you a sense of zen and the restaurant by the water follows the same vibe. Loved the shells curtains and the sand lounge area. Food was simple but tasty and service was great. We went for dinner but very impressed with the grounds and will consider staying there next time.

An awesome place with really hospital people. The rooms were spacious, airated well and the bed was maybe my only concern....The double rooms should have a 5by5 or 6by6 and not two beds that makes it hard for those who role over in their bed while sleeping.

The hotel is located in a really nice environment, and the pool is great-- heated!-- unlike many hotels in East Africa. Amazing views from the restaurant. The rooms are also pretty faultless-- except the shower head is a bit ailing. My two criticisms are that not much is within walking distance, and the hotel sells basics like water for very high prices. I understand upcharging at nicer establishments, but this was the highest I've seen for a typical 1.5 litre of killimanjaro water in the entire country, in my 13 years of traveling here.

Dear Michaela, We appreciate your feedback and thank you for highlighting the positive aspects of your stay, such as the nice environment, great pool, amazing views, and faultless rooms. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the ailing shower head and assure you that we will look into addressing this issue. Regarding the price of basic items, we will review our pricing policy and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a more satisfactory experience for our guests. As you mentioned, being located in a secluded area does limit nearby options within walking distance. However, we can certainly recommend tuktuk services to help you explore other establishments in the vicinity. Our staff will be more than happy to assist you with arrangements and provide recommendations to enhance your overall experience. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and take it seriously as we continue to improve our services. We hope to welcome you back in the future and provide you with an even better experience. Best regards, PR Mediterraneo Tanzania

Our party of 7 stayed here for 4 days. It is right on the Indian Ocean and was beautiful! They had a pool and spa and beach access. The restaurant had delicious food and great service. The breakfast that was included with our rooms not only had a buffet of local fare but you could also order eggs anyway you liked. We recommend the Spanish Omelette! Our stay was short but memorable! Thanks for a great time!
