The staff were exceptionally polite and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was a real highlight each day, with fresh and delicious fruit and juices that we all looked forward to. The hotel itself is beautifully situated in a quiet and peaceful area, with stunning ocean views that added to the relaxed atmosphere. We felt safe and very well looked after throughout our stay. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable and stress-free—we hope to return again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fd6fa1fb-e8cb-4135-9011-1c690b4189a1-1754207397033.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0f776421-f50d-467c-8d61-8150aafd3809-1754207396871.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d6ed4206-b270-41bb-a7de-bc9233834241-1754207395884.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0b03c1c6-4cbc-4c2d-86ea-387409b2e302-1754207395378.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anita Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arieyl 11 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Start with the hotel was beautiful! I was walking with a complementary juice. The staff was so nice and welcoming to me and they took my luggage and show me my room and later I had dinner which was amazing and their breakfast is also good. I only stayed for one night but it was a wonderful experience. The property has amazing views and a great to sun bathe. Definitely a Top stay in the Zanzibar area! ##### Arieyl Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 22 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice pool, good food.

The staff was friendly but the waiting time in reception and restaurant could be better. The hotel talks about their sustainability work, but there is more to ask on what they are actually doing. For example, towels were changed everyday even though we didnt use them, and the cleaner turned on the air condition everyday. This is waste with energy. A positive thing is that they work with local farmers/fishermens and the breakfast and dinner were really good. ##### Joakim Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great Place to be Great staff, great food, a great place to holiday at in Zanzibar ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/902DCBA13F48E2760B5941CC5A4FF1314E85B7AE1699370595350.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E4CC7CD2650F95704763A61074752A5216FE15911699370595140.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F9E817AB373E03A54877FE1B29CC0576623BC47D1699370596296.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3CC85B4E15249CD7C4A10FE9BEB4D6FFEB81494B1699370596459.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria Antonia 2 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An oasis in a busy little beach town. The staff at the Zanzibari hotel were exceptionally attentive and the service was always prompt. In a place where the main beach can be over run with tourists, it was such a pleasure to step into the quiet oasis that is the Zanzibari hotel grounds. This is a great gem of a property in Nungwi and would only improvements would be to upgrade the quality of the food, which was "safe" but very bland and to upgrade the plumbing issues in unit OC1\. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/227d8bc9-2ef0-4fba-aba1-c6159dcf4663-1748870288505.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9230fd83-28fb-4099-89c7-4b5dec91a4db-1748870314474.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Maria Antonia Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lucia 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Nice hotel but would have expected better service We stayed at the Zanzibari for 8 nights and we were very happy with our suite, very spacious and quite clean but not so happy about the service as it has been quite slow and the food menu has been the same all over our stay. We would have appreciated better choice and variety for breakfast and dinner. We appreciated the late check out free of charge but we have never been asked how was our stay, if everything was ok. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d84c1a4-8699-4f53-8d62-96e8259c978a-1754764608761.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f35cf283-5e20-4024-81d4-7170c940b72b-1754764610031.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ad8f594f-a7e7-4307-8194-d3d593a49d4d-1754764605945.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77f823a6-2390-4a9b-8b21-be8ea8a768f4-1754764608413.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lucia Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan 7 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very nice boutique resort.
