8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (310 reviews)
"A quaint inn-like lodging outside of Dar es Salaam by the beach. Our stay was made extra special by housekeeping, reception, restaurant staff. While the property was well maintained and clean, the beach was not maintained, littered with garbage brought in and out with the tides. If Mediterraneo could also focus on its beach clean up, it would stand out with pride as a corporate citizen being part of the solution."
