    The rooms at Hakuna Matata Arugambay are cozy and comfortable, with a seating area perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring.

    Personally, I found the lack of a balcony in some rooms a bit disappointing, as I enjoy spending time outdoors.

    I had an amazing time at Hakuna Matata! During my stay, I had the pleasure of experiencing Billy's creativity and hospitality. He even showed me pictures of the beautiful fireplace he had built after my departure. The traditional breakfast prepared by Billy's mom was absolutely delicious, with something different every day. The BBQ organized by Billy was also a highlight of my stay. He even took me on a scooter tour, which was really cool. Whenever I had a problem or question, Billy went above and beyond to help me. The atmosphere at Hakuna Matata was warm and relaxed, making it the perfect place to meet new people. I had a great time and will definitely come back to Hakuna Matata.

    Our stay at Billi's guest house was absolutely mind-blowing! The cozy and clean cabana, along with the upgraded veranda and chill area, were decorated with stunning natural elements. The location, just 2 minutes away from the beach, was super convenient. Billi and his parents were incredibly friendly and welcoming, ensuring we had a diverse and fresh breakfast every morning. Billi went above and beyond by organizing a safari for us and assisting with transportation. He even helped me with my foot injury and provided an effective Ayurvedic treatment. We highly recommend this place for its great value, proximity to the beach, and outstanding hospitality!

    The garden at this hotel is like a peaceful paradise. Sitting amidst the colorful flowers and lush greenery, I felt like I was in my own little secret garden, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind, sipping on a cup of tea while enjoying the serene atmosphere.

    Parking space is limited.
