Opted for a sea view lodge and ended up in a beautiful, self contained cottage on a private beach. Staff are attentive and very helpful. Room was clean and spacious. All in all I would have no issue with recommending a stay here. ##### David Alan Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 7 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spectacular property!

Elisha and Zebron i dealt with daily and they made sure everything was in order and that i enjoyed myself. The cooks serce some of the best food i have tasted it was so i tried food i have never tried. The property was secure and i had no worries of unfavorable events occuring. First place i have stayed wjere housekeeping comes in person at least 3 times a day to ensure the room is in order or to check if anything is needed. I didn’t just meet people that work at a lodge there, no i made friends and i will be visiting again. Asante sana to the entire staff and managers ##### Jimmy Stayed 17 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 12 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Beautiful and unique hotel with amazing staff We felt so comfortable staying at this hotel, and the staff did everything in their power to make it a perfect stay. We had an amazing stay at Chuini Beach Lodge. The hotel is a perfect size if you don’t like the big commercialized resorts, and are looking for a more personal experience. The service was definitely the best we experienced in Zanzibar (we stayed at different hotels). In addition, it’s location makes it super easy to visit Stone Town and the northern part of the island. However, you won’t get the crystal blue water on this side of the island, so I’d recommend to combine your stay at Chuini with some days on the East coast to experience the beautiful water Zanzibar has to offer. ##### Laura Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Asha 13 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The surrounding areas at night had loud noises it the room was stunning. It could have just been the situation of our room as it was close to the gate. The room unfortunately also didn’t have a telephone so when my husband got food poisoning and i wasn’t feeling my best I had to go to reception to ask for some help. The staff were super accommodating and always friendly. ##### Asha Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Small property as to number of rooms. Staff very helpful and personable. Food was good, sometimes slow other times within minutes of ordering. Lovely party for guest one evening with music and celebration of food and maybe for full moon. Not easy to ambulatory the step and walkway. They were uneven and nights the walkway not lite very well. On the ocean and a fishing area, some times isand petroleum and the burning smells...overall Avery pleasant stay would recommend and would love to visit again. ##### Ann Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren 10 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Zanzibar Gem: Chuini Beach Lodge Our stay at Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. The staff, led by the incredibly helpful and friendly General Manager, Cameron, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The two ladies behind the bar, whose names unfortunately escape me, provided impeccable service with warm smiles and attentive care. The food was simply divine, thanks to the talented chefs in the kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfasts, which featured a wide variety of fresh fruits, pastries, and cooked-to-order dishes. The hotel’s beautiful setting was a major highlight of our stay. The main pool, with its stunning views of the local beach and fishermen, was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The ruins of Chuini, located within the hotel grounds, added a touch of history and intrigue. We were also impressed by the cleanliness and well-maintained condition of our room and the hotel facilities. Overall, our experience at Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge was unforgettable. We highly recommend this exceptional hotel to anyone seeking a luxurious and relaxing vacation in Zanzibar. ##### Lauren Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Pritha 27 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The staff at Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge are the best thing about property. They are extremely friendly and really strive hard to provide excellent customer service. The surroundings are stunning and provides an amazing backdrop during sunset. We did suffer a few issues. On our first evening, there was no water in any of the villas for several hours. A day later, water from the toilet in our villa was leaking and flooded the cubicle. Kasim tried to resolve the problem the same evening but informed us that it would need to be fixed by a plumber the following morning. Kasim offered us a move into a different villa, which we declined since we were not keen to pack up so late in the evening. Hence he left us the keys of the adjoining villa so that we could use the bathroom there since the water supply had to be turned off in our villa to stop the leak. The lodge was offering 15 minute complimentary massages to all guests but due to the problems we suffered during our stay, Kasim arranged for the two of us to enjoy complimentary one hour massages each. We both opted for the deep tissue massages and this was amazing and very relaxing as it helped to soothe our aching muscles. We really enjoyed the food at Chuini, with the chef using an array of fresh produce to create a variety delicious dishes. We particularly enjoyed the tuna tartare with the mango and avocado salad as well as the wraps and fried rice. Esther was always a smiling presence in the dining area. ##### Pritha Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bruck 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The lodge is good with a nice view to the ocean and the staff are great. We did not enjoy the lodge food and it's expensive for the quality we tasted. There aren't any nearby dinning places near the lodge and not is the place convenient for transportation to go to other places ##### Bruck Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harold 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great facility ##### Harold Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alison 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service #### Mixed experience Leaking air conditioning unit with a flood of liquid on the floor affecting clothes and shoes.

Great quality food with nice breakfast! Rooms nice, mattresses standard like everywhere in Zanzibar. Attention: for this who are looking for the typical Zanzibar beaches, don’t go there! For swimming go to east coast hotels. Swimming and beach is not recommended here due to busy little harbor bay only. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stetson 23 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing stay at a beautiful resort. The vistas of the nearby palace ruins are stunning and the pool areas open and comfortable. The food in the restaurant is delicious and I highly recommend the dinner set menus. If you visit on a Friday evening, the Tanzanian meal is incredible. Staff is friendly and attentive. The only drawback is the boat maintenance going on in the bay below and adjacent to the resort, which draws local labourers. The bay is loud and full of rubbish so keep your eyes to the sea, which has a killer sunset! I would definitely return. ##### Stetson Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fumba Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fumba-Hotels-Fumba-Beach-Lodge.h1845002.Hotel-Information) > > [Diamonds Mapenzi Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Diamonds-Mapenzi-Beach-All-Inclusive.h4532521.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendwa-Hotels-Gold-Zanzibar-Beach-House-Spa.h5388856.Hotel-Information) > > [Breezes Beach Club & Spa – Half Board](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Breezes-Beach-Club-Spa-Half-Board.h3522641.Hotel-Information) > > [TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pongwe-Hotels-Toa-Hotel-Spa.h75012943.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > > [Reef & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Reef-Beach-Resort.h6643793.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Pongwe Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pongwe-Hotels-Pongwe-Beach-Hotel.h8057383.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Zuri Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendwa-Hotels-Zuri-Zanzibar.h20217090.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [Kena Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Kena-Beach-Hotel.h4544228.Hotel-Information) > > [Baraza Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Baraza-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h10042688.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [ Safaya Luxury Villas (Adults Only)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Safaya-Luxury-Villas.h91433919.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Neptune-Pwani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h4544303.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Verde Zanzibar - Azam Luxury Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zanzibar-Town-Hotels-Hotel-Verde-Zanzibar-Azam-Luxury-Resort-And-Spa.h23060759.Hotel-Information) > > [Zanzibar Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marumbi-Hotels-Zanzibar-Bay-Resort.h27086671.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Cliff Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangapwani-Hotels-Sea-Cliff-Resort-Spa.h978691.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Kiwengwa Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Kiwengwa-Beach-Resort.h11888909.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Ocean-Paradise-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h4235502.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) ---
