My stay at Samawa Living was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I arrived, I felt an incredible sense of warmth and care from the staff. As a solo traveller, I was made to feel so safe and seen, which made the experience even more special. It truly felt like a home away from home.
I’d like to give a special thanks to Kadogo, Hashimu, Baby, Asha, and the rest of the amazing team who went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. Their genuine kindness and attentive service stood out in every interaction.
The location of the hotel was perfect – close to the iconic Paje Beach, with convenient access via buggy, so I could enjoy the beauty of the area while still retreating to the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the hotel. The boho vibes of Samawa Living were stunning, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a cosy and serene environment.
From the delicious meals to the immaculate rooms and tranquil ambience, everything about Samawa Living exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to return! If you’re looking for a safe, stylish, and welcoming place to stay in the Paje area, I highly recommend it.

Guest UserA beautiful, well-maintained hotel. The staff are very friendly and constantly cleaning something. Beautiful plants and space design.
The downsides, which ultimately didn't bother us at all, were the lack of a TV in the room. But on the bright side, our minds got to rest and we went to bed earlier. There's a TV in the common area where we all happily watched football with other guests. Plus, there's a fridge, which isn't available in all hotels.
There's a power issue affecting the entire hotel, but it's more of an administrative/city problem rather than the hotel's fault. However, the hotel was quick to resolve it every time 👍🏼. The hotel is very quiet. There aren't many rooms, so there's little noise from guests. If you truly need a break from everything, this is the place for you. We like to stay in different locations for 3-4 days at a time. Here, we really caught up on our sleep. The hotel manager is a pleasant man; he'll approach you, greet you, ask if everything's alright, and solve any problems.
We opted for breakfast, as we don't eat during the day and usually go out to town in the evening. Breakfast was standard: omelet, sausages, buns with jam, fruit, simple tea, coffee – perfectly sufficient for breakfast, nothing fancy, but you won't go hungry.
We walked to town along the shore (safe ☝🏼👍🏼, 20 mins) because the car road was very dusty and noisy! Then we turned onto a path between hotels and came out onto the main road, walking along that. In town, you can buy coconuts for 2000 tzs, beer, find a currency exchange, and so on. The village is small and still developing, but if you ask locals, you'll find everything you need. The people are very responsive. You can have lunch or dinner with various cuisines at the food court. The hotel's all-inclusive supplement is $50 per person, which is expensive. We had dinner for two at a neighboring hotel for $25 (spaghetti and a Buddha bowl) ☝🏼.
Overall, we were very happy with the hotel.
Yes, there are low tides, but you just have to accept it and wait. But what a pleasure the beach and its beauty are in the second half of the day! Incredible! In the evening, the lighting is unique, and the beach becomes simply magical. In short, we were satisfied. Portesl la playa - thank you for the rest 🙏🏼🤗

It’s a very nice hotel nice location. Food is great at the restaurant. The room is very clean but there was little hot water so we couldn’t fill the bathtub. The service needs to be enhanced, we arrived but no one there to take the luggage so I had to carry them. The cleaning lady came to our room an hour before the check out time and she put her cleaning stuff in our terrace. Jembe the pool boy was very friendly he showed us around the hotel and took some good photos for me and my wife.
