It was spacious with beautiful palm trees at the lower area where my room was. English breakfast was served and the food orders took max 30 minutes. It was quiet, serene and the beach beds were not as crowded as the neighboring hotels. It has the best beach area that forms a beautiful pool during the high tide and it was never crowded. Staff were very helpful and payments were paid with card or cash in USD and TZS conveniently. WiFi was a bit weak in the room but overall was accessible across the property and beach area. The room was big enough with all amenities. Pictures don’t do justice to this beautiful and leafy hotel. Will definitely return! ##### Cecilia Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Klaudia 27 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great holiday, thank you to all friendly and good people at Kendwa. This beach hotel Is a little paradise. The restaurant is at the beach- you dine and watch the waves and boats. The beach life is colorful and interesting; acrobats perform, people passing by, also some sellers but everybody is respectful, without pressure! The days at the beach were peaceful and nice. The area of Kendwa Hotel is great, Sand and many Palm trees. Very peaceful and clean place. Wifi mainly in the restaurant area.Most delicious is the food. We had half board and got a buffet dinner quite many times. The food was really delicious. People from other hotels came for dinner to Kendwa. The staff is always helpful- Zena and her team: asante sana! We highly recommend this hotel. ##### Klaudia Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eileen 12 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in one of the bungalows close to the beach, which I would highly recommend. The rooms up near the reception would require walking a steep set of stairs each time you wanted to use the pool, beach, bar or restaurant. Our bungalow was very nice with a front porch to sit on. The front desk staff was helpful with arranging boat tours and taxis. The beach in front of the resort is beautiful and very swimmable. There are great shaded chairs and beds to use while lounging near the beach. The swimming pool was large enough, but could use better maintenance. Many tiles are missing and the stairs do not have a handrail. I slipped on the slippery tiled steps and injured my head and leg. ##### Eileen Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tauseef 26 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Enjoyed my stay ##### Tauseef Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kelvin 27 Feb 2025 Amazing beach ##### Kelvin Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabina 4 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Zanzibar gem Amazing hotel, wonderful beach and the perfect staff.

They were able to shift me around and accommodate me, moving me 3 rooms in 3 nights. Staff was very friendly and helpful with the process, and apologetic. ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### shuk 9 Sept 2014 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service The hotel stuff didn't give us good customer service. They gave us an expensive price for the room.later we found out that others got it for much cheaper price. The wifi cost money. The rooms are overall nice and the area is amazing. ##### shuk ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sisser 12 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing setting. Service improvement potential. Kendwa Sunset is very well located by a beautiful beach. Hotel is well kept and with a cosy feel. Green garden feel in first part of the hotel and beach vibe at the bungalows located as an extended part of the beach. Room was good with nice beds, clean and with nice size bathroom. Beach area is large with more space between chairs than many other hotels. Pool had great clear view over the beach and ocean. All this would give a 9-10 rating. However service was clearly the worst we experienced among the 5 places we visited in Zanzibar. Seemed to be a mix of Language challenges, care and pure skills. So bring a lot of patience and Hakuna Matata in order for it not to destroy your experience. During 4 days (ehere we also ate elsewhere) we experienced a meal that did not arrive until we were ready to pay, rarely being able to order what we preferred (more than other places) but the challenge was not so much ‘sold out/not in stock’ but lack of knowledge among servants on what was available so ordering was a cumbersome and time consuming process, incorrect order when food arrived and attempt to make us order things we did not want ‘because we have already put x in the system so could you not have y instead’. Likewise for beach towels where ‘sold out/not available right now and not able to find out when we could get a towel or if we could use our rooms towels instead until we went to the reception. However the day the little lady in the restaurant was in, all went smooth 😀 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/be724d6c-9799-47b8-abe1-2a0559be7925-1755015564422.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5116da5c-c228-4cf9-a871-a9d09794a596-1755015563787.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bab174f5-dba1-4e2f-8a52-6664e4720812-1755015564544.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fcc545c2-324b-4d8f-948d-ef389f0d2834-1755015564531.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sisser Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 26 May 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### An overpriced disappointment Apart from the broken mosquito net in my room, the non existing Internet service along with the incredibly mediocre breakfast which was included contributed to making this stay a complete waste of time to a high price. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone when there are so many incredibly nice hotels and resorts next door and it is definitely worth to pay the extra 10 USD to stay at a place with class instead of the dump which is Sunset Kendwa. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Ella 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Trevligt hotell Jättetrevlig personal överlag! Var en receptionist som var otrevlig samt en kille på stranden som var på oss hela tiden. Missade även ala våra samtal och meddelanden om Airport-transfer, och försökte skylla det på oss. Annars bra! ##### Ella Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lydie 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Bonne expérience Service un peu approximatif, mais chambre très propre, spacieuse, quelques coupures de courant le soir mais je ne sais pas à quoi cela était dû. La wifi extrement nulle. Les repas du soir et petit dej très corrects. Une bonne expérience, la plage est magnifique, transats pour tout le monde. ##### Lydie Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### EVELYNE 10 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities L'hôtel est situé en bord de mer.

Struttura molto bella, curata e accogliente. Camere molto pulite e confortevoli, anche l’aria condizionata funziona perfettamente. Cibo buono, con molta varietà a colazione, da segnalare l’estrema lentezza del servizio pranzo, nonostante sia una struttura grande con la presenza di molti camerieri. Inoltre una sera ci siamo presentati alle 22:30 per poter mangiare qualcosa ma ci è stato detto che non era possibile nonostante la chiusura del ristorante fosse alle 23 (essendo Kendwa una zona tranquilla non abbiamo trovato nessun altro posto per mangiare). Fantastica la possibilità per i clienti di usufruire dei lettini direttamente in spiaggia. Per concludere, ci torneremmo e consigliamo assolutamente di alloggiare in questa struttura ##### Matteo Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Flinke og hyggelige ansatte/servitører ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie 7 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Strandnära hotell med fint hotellområde. Uppskattade att hotellet låg vid stranden och hade ett fint hotellområde med tre pooler och gym. Hotellet hade en mycket bra frukostbuffé. Det jag upplevde mindre bra var utbudet av mat för lunch och middag när vi inte hade valt till lunch- och middagspaketet. Hotellet ligger lite utanför Nungwi och vägen dit på kvällen kändes lite osäker att gå när det är mörkt. ##### Marie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alina 17 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Das Areal des Hotels ist wirklich WUNDERSCHÖN mit den vielen Palmen und der direkten Strandlage. Ich habe es geliebt aus unserem Beach Bungalow rauszugehen und direkt auf Sand zu sein. Für unseren Urlaub hat es so absolut ausgereicht, um eine schöne Zeit zu haben. Das Personal war immer sehr bemüht, aber teilweise etwas planlos und vergesslich, was wir ihnen aber nicht übel genommen haben. Die Umgebung des Hotels ist leider sehr arm und für Alleingänge nur bei Tageslicht sicher. ##### Alina Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nina 26 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ett magiskt ställe med fantastisk personal! Oj vilket ställe! Vilken service nere på stranden och i restaurangen. Läget är perfekt, stranden är magisk. Det enda vi hade nån synpunkt på var att kanske lite mer kryddning i maten (och lite för stora portioner), samt att de låter gäster ”paxa” solstolar en halv dag innan dom kommer och nyttjar dom. Samt att wifi är väldigt svajigt. Annars är vi så nöjda att vi faktiskt ändrade om vårt sista hotell och ska bo vår sista natt hos dom igen. Magiskt! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BDE65C8B3B0397538B9FD4F60F8EE95ECC3F7E681735190354350.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FE6B0D3ADF0EAE1E810C7F0BB9442C41423359A91735190352608.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F8097F275DF5B324A0A2E4A8F06574F4C6D779E11735190346816.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4E95FAC544BB6D42A60BBBB8B532DA974D1D109C1735190353472.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nina Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vivian 13 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Rooms need to be checked before check in .
