"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Es war einfach alles super! Man fühlt sich mitten im Dschungel und erlebt die Natur hautnah. Auf unserer Terrasse konnten wir sogar Affen beobachten und nachts Buschbabys sehen – ein wirklich einzigartiges Erlebnis! Der Besitzer und die Mitarbeiter sind super nett, herzlich und hilfsbereit. Auch das Essen im Restaurant war top und hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und können das Monkey Mountain Hotel wirklich von Herzen weiterempfehlen!"

17. Zanzistar Lodge

Jambiani

"I had assumed incorrectly that Zanzistar was on the beach, so when I arrived, I was really disappointed. I felt claustrophobic in the garden which is surrounded on all sides by high fences. The beach bar which is a 5-minute walk away was underwhelming and there were lots of people smoking. Unless you lay in the front row, in the sun, you couldnt really enjoy the sea view.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to stay in a 2-star hotel in Zanzibar?

Travelers can find great deals on Zanzibar 2-star hotels from £15 with Expedia – but remember that prices vary throughout the year. Factors like demand and location can affect hotel prices, and it's often more expensive to stay in Zanzibar hotels during weekends, holidays and high season. Try searching for 2-star Zanzibar hotels during midweek to track down the best deals.

What is the difference between a 2-star Zanzibar hotel and a 3-star hotel?

With all the home comforts travelers need, 2-star Zanzibar hotels make a great base for exploring. These hotels are designed for convenience, and usually have comfy rooms, daily housekeeping services, and a 24-hour front desk. Some also have their own restaurant. For travelers who want to take things up a gear, 3-star Zanzibar hotels might tick all the boxes. These mid-range hotels often have spacious rooms and extra amenities for a relaxing stay, such as a pool, gym, restaurant or bar.
