Zanzibar Hotel Guide - 4 stars Hotels in Zanzibar, Tanzania

If you are looking for a clean and good place to stay and for comfort in stonetown, i would deffinitely recommend this hotel. It is in the middle of the town yet feels like away from all that dirt and crowd. Best choice and quality. But exchange rates are very low in this hotel when compared to anywhere in zanzibar.

location was awesome, people were very accommodating and friendly. Room was clean and had an perfect view of fhe city nigh market area.

Generally - nice hotel. WIFI needs improving urgently. I was in a room close to reception where the hub is and it did not hold when I closed the bedroom door. Overall service is good

We spent 9 days in this boutique hotel. It was lovely, our room was so cute with lovely touches from flowers on the bed on arrival to towels laid out in different style each day (even a heart to end our stay). It was beautifully turned down twice a day and made us feel so welcomed. Our room was lovely as a romantic as retreat and to get out of the madness of he markets. What truly made the hotel was the lovely, thoughtful, ever smiling and helpful staff. Those there morning until night working tirelessly to ensure our needs were met, from room service, freshly squeezed juices to providing a pandit when my partner felt unwell. They went above and beyond with even the guy there coming out to translate for us when our rental car was broken into. Neema, Jacq, Lucy were wonderful and full of smiles, jokes and warm welcomes. We were very impressed by our boxed breakfast when we had to leave for the airport at 3am and our wake up calls. Their evening restaurant was lovely and the chef really paid attention to detail with his food. My only issue at the hotel would be we chose the room that was on a busy noisier side (fine at night as the AC drowned out the noise) but the room was so lovely we didn't really mind. Perhaps good to have more guide books, points of interest knowledge and maps but I found all the amazing places to go from trip advisor to be honest. The location was perfect not too on the main road and near the markets.

The staff are really welcoming. They is also available to you pool, table tennis, volleyball. It seems as though the people that come stay a long time because every seemed to know each other and very friendly. Sadly I stayed on one day, but if I had more time I definitely would have stayed longer. For sure my friend almost convinced me to take a few more days and she loved it too. I think I was pleasantly surprise cuz I wasn't expecting much for the cost. However, the hotel is far from everything and has only one restaurant to eat from. You have to hire a taxi to go anywhere, but taxis are not that expensive anyway.

Nice place, very good value for money, nice breakfast on roof terrace, staff was top!

We absolutely loved everything about this gem of a resort! The location is amazing and the facilities are beautiful and in great condition. Our villa was absolutely gorgeous and perfectly clean. The manager was wonderful and made sure everything was perfect for our short family vacation. The food was delicious and they made sure my baby and I had great vegetarian options at every meal. We had a wonderful little holiday and enjoyed every minute. We will definitely be coming back to Kisiwa on the Beach soon. Very highly recommended resort for both families and couples. You will love it, guaranteed.

As mentioned in the title, Villa Kiva was a gorgeous place to stay. The aesthetic and construction of the buildings, the choices of decor and furniture, and, of course, the beach and water, were all excellent. Staff were courteous, discreet, and helpful. We had a great time at Villa Kiva, and thoroughly enjoyed the One Ocean snorkeling/diving tour or Mnemba Atoll they helped us arrange. (also very professionally run, and we happened upon some dolphins whilst travelling between the excellent snorkeling sites, bonus!)

Absolutely stunning little hotel . After summiting kili we wanted to take a few days to relax and we never had to walk more than 50m from reception to your room , dinner , pool , beach or the bar . Staff are all great and food is excellent . They vary the locations of dinner too. An absolute must if you are travelling to Zanzibar

We could imediately, upon arrival feel the relaxing atmosphere sink in! The room was great, how cool With the bungalows located around three pools. The food was great. I loved the stay, and would love to come back.
