"De eerste ervaring bij aankomst was slecht. Zo leken ze verrast door onze aankomst en werd er wat apathisch gereageerd.

Verder was agv het regenseizoen het beddengoed in de eerste nacht zo vochtig dat we er niet op konden slapen.

We had the most enjoyable and welcoming stay at this luxury safari lodge. The service from all the staff was exceptional especially from Maximillan and the food was delicious. The tent was so spacious and had very comfortable beds. Also our safari driver (John) was excellent. When we come back to the Serengeti we will definitely stay at this lodge again.

From the moment we stepped into Lux* Hotel Zanzibar, we knew we were in for an extraordinary experience. The hotel itself is breathtaking, but what truly sets it apart is the staff—easily the friendliest I’ve ever encountered in my life.
A heartfelt thank you to Pina, who welcomed us with such warmth and grace. Her attention to detail and personal touches made our stay feel incredibly special. Pina’s genuine care and energy elevated our entire experience, and it’s safe to say she’s the heart of...

This was a few days away after doing some fairly demanding charity work in the Maasai Mara. The hotel was recommended by some friends and it did not disappoint. We arrived late but the Assistant Manager was there to greet us and there was a light meal in our room. There were several similar nice touches during our stay and all of the staff went out of their way to make your stay as perfect as they possibly could.

Amazing resort, perfect for relaxing and the friendliest staff with the F&B team going above and beyond. We had a lovely private dinner on the beach on our last night which was a perfect end to an unbelievable stay. Highly recommended and will be back.

Hotel was lovely in a nice location. Close to Slipway. The gym was small but the pool was nice. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were helpful. Only thing was I had to wait for checkin even after checkin time. The hotel looked after my luggage whilst I went on safari so I was very pleased.

One of the best Rooms in Dar es Salaam .. I have been to many other hotels in Dar es salaam but no one can match it he size and layout of this rooms. Staff is extremely helpful. Many restaurants to choose from.. my favourite is Vi on the roof top .. big breakfast layout and good quality food .. I won't suggest any other place for Dar es salaam..

This is such a nice hotel. Brand new, built to highest quality. Some teething issues (food can take long to arrive - but it is HIGH quality food) - just love how it is an oasis of calm but not in a false fake neighbourhood like Masaki. The neigbourhood of Kijitonyama has a real African feel with authentic Tanzanian bars and restaurants nearby

The hotel is very big yet beautiful. The rooms are spacious and we were pleased to find a hairdryer in the bathroom. Evening entertainment was great but also easily avoided if required. We also enjoyed the selection of pools and meals on offer! Would highly recommend this hotel.

We chose to stay here after reading many great reviews and it didn't disappoint. Great food, amazing views of the beach and the sea and the owners were really helpful and accommodating. The wifi and air con both worked well. Swimming at high tide at sunset was absolutely idyllic.
