Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Friendly staff, clean rooms, pool with good upkeep and generally tidy grounds. Can't really complain about anything major. Even if it's not exactly 5-star accommodation they are making a good effort to cater to the needs of westerners. The restaurant has plenty of ambience and again the staff is friendly but the service is slow (this is endemic in Zanzibar though) and the breakfast selection is quite basic. The biggest knock is not their fault. The location is a good 15 minute walk from the nearest beach access point over unpaved roads in a sketchy, run-down area. Still, overall I don't regret it and would do it again. Beachfront properties are much more expensive but feel like fortresses isolating you from the townspeople and local culture.

Доброго времени суток юные и не очень, натуралисты путешественники! Мы были в Этом отеле 3е суток, и хотим поделиться впечатлениями, отель состоит из нескольких уютных бунгало. Лакшери ждать не стоит однако все очень функционально, все работает, чисто уютно, без излишеств, для комфорта самое то, белье чистое глаженное, кондиционер тихий исправный, кормят просто и вкусно, ребята стараются, очень вежливы и отзывчивы. Это не первая береговая линия, но до пляжа пешочком всего минут 5-7 прогулки. Пляж нереально красивый. Отдельное спасибо персоналу за организованный праздник, день рождения, тортик, и душевное поздравление, спасибо !!! Рекомендуем 10 из 10 в номинации цена и качество! Фото можете посмотреть в интаграме @Evgeny_sky Спасибо надеюсь отзыв будет полезен!

Svært fornøyd med Highland Bungalows. Vennlig betjening, svært god frokost og rene rom. Restauranten ble hyppig brukt på kvelden, og det var folksomt og god stemning i restaurant-/barområdet.
