My boyfriend had stayed at the hotel many times before, and he couldn't have made a better choice. From the very beginning, I experienced paradise; the view was heavenly, and the food tasted incredible, with natural ingredients and tropical flavors. All of the staff were professional and welcoming. Evelyn took care of every detail for the guests. Ali, Raza, and Hidaya were always kind and greeted us with fabulous smiles. Abdul showed us around the farm and took care of the kayak trip. They provided a wonderful experience. The staff made us feel welcome and at home with positive energy, which made all the difference. I leave with a grateful heart and recharged with positive energy. ![Kayak](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2721fdd3-15af-4596-bc0d-b962e73ccb68-1765485675673.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from reception](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d2b2f617-5244-4b8a-bdcd-bf50a54d8087-1765485676585.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from Villa](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5291a118-cc15-4b19-a46c-f118e7482d23-1765485676147.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### davide Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonia 14 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This is my second time staying at Zawadi and every time I feel at home.

Everything was pristine: staff, property, drinks/food, views, villa, bed comfort, bath products, water pressure, hospitality, etc. The service & staff was incredible- Iddy, Mr M, Innocent, Bernard & Ally were amazing and truly caterered to my husband and I. Mary & Tatu did a superb job maintaining our villa. Noa, Isaak & Evelyn were lovely hosts, always checking on us and ensuring a pleasant experience. Live music is brought in for dinner 3x a week. Snorkeling, clear kayak & paddle boarding are available & included on site. You can also visit the small farm & garden onsite to see where most of your meals/food is grown. Everything is incredibly fresh! Extra activities are available such as a sunset cruise, however it is quite pricey ($450usd) so we chose a local tour operator on a traditional dhow boat that was a lovely experience for just $60usd. It seemed a bit frowned upon by the hotel staff to book w/outside/local tour operators (multiple comments were made). If you’re well-traveled & cautious like we are & want to support the locals, you’ll be fine. Don’t let the staff scare you away from an authentic experience. :) In conclusion, this is a property my husband and I would absolutely return & visit yearly, and as a travel advisor- it is most definitely one I’ll recommend to my luxury vip clients. ##### Heather Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harpreet 26 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Exceptional property, spacious water facing villas, stupendous views, attentive and smiling staff ##### Harpreet Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shafiq 4 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Enjoyable stay Serene place with excellent view from the room.

Very private and intimate with staff who will make sure you are taken care of. We were originally booked for a different property but Expedia switched us since the other property was overbooked and we were so lucky to stay for the Christmas holiday. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer! ##### Dacy Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julian Heiner 28 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beste Hotel Auf Sansibar.

Bei der Auswahl vom Hotel sind wir auf das Zawadi Hotel Zanzibar gestossen. Wir wollte nicht in einem grossen Hotelbunker übernachten. Was wir dann angetroffen haben hat alle unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Wir möchten sogar behaupten, dass das Hotel das beste Kleinhotel von Sansibar und Tansania sein wird. Noch besser kann man es nämlich nicht machen. Service, Unterkunft, Anlage, Strand, Essen und Personal. Einfach topp!!! Es besonderes Kompliment gehört dem Management rund um Evelyne. Anders lässt es sich nicht erklären, wieso jeder Mitarbeiter höchst professionell arbeitet mit einem stetigen Lächeln im Gesicht. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ygor 23 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Estadia memorável.

Nous ne pouvons que recommander chaleureusement le Zawadi, sans doute l’une des manilleurs expérience en hôtel que nous ayons eu l’occasion de vivre. Notre séjour était juste parfait : le cadre et la vue exceptionnels, les chambres immenses et décorées avec goût, le service incroyable, le personnel très attentionné et les repas raffinés. Un hôtel all inclusive de grande qualité dans lequel nous reviendrons certainement. Un grand merci à Noa et Evelyne anisi qu’´à tout l’équipe : Ali, Msegeju, Iddy, Innocent, Hamad, Raza, Walter, Desdery, Mabula … (on a certainement oublié d’autres) qui ont fait de notre séjour un souvenir inoubliable. ##### Makine Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara 11 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gem!!!
