From the reviews i had read I was expecting a fun and crazy atmosphere but it was quite the opposite. Everything on trip advisor had mentioned the bar and the crazy barmam. The only liquor the bar had was Gin and the only thing drink was water or sprite. The bar area has things about Jack Daniels everywhere and as... More

I traveled to Zanzibar the day after Christmas and had booked a stay until January 2nd. This was my second time in Africa, (the first in Zanzibar, I was in Uganda earlier that year). Let me preface with saying this - I have never met a group of more hospitable and accomodating people. By the end of the trip, I... More

When we arrived at Crazy Mzungo's the one toilet in our bungalow was broken and there were only two stand-up fans (one of which broke on the first day) and one small roof fan for 8 people (no aircon). The owner apologised for the broken toilet, but said they would get a plumber to fix it and get some more... More

We had issues with getting our luggage to the island and he tracked it down for us. The highlight of this place however is the food. It... More

I just had a realy bad experience, i've never been threated by a barman before.. We residents and decided to take some family over to Crazy Mzungo's. The marketing looks brilliant, so the expectations were high. My guest was leaving, so we were a bit in hurry. The barman told us the chef was not there, so we had to... More

Pros: beautiful beach with no crowds Cons: threadbare, worn, scroungy accomodation. Granted the bungalows are marketed for the budget traveller but book their accomodation only if you are on a shoe string budget. Food took an hour to an hour and a half to be served albeit cooked fresh but the prices were tourist class so did not match the... More

Your review refers to 7 Seas and NOT Crazy Mzungo's - revamped in June 2011. Your reference is invalid, you are refering to is the original 7 Seas bungalows. These were demolished in June 2011. Only 3 of the original 8 bungalows remain and they were renovated last year under new management and called Crazy Mzungo's. More
