Top Zanzibar Hotel Reviews

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so wonderful and welcoming, everyone greets us by saying “Jambo”. They even taught me a little Swahili. The food was amazing and tasty. My family and I also loved all the activities and events they held daily. Best resort I’ve stayed at so far!!!!"

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Very recommended! Amazing hotel! Great location. Extremely helpful staff!!!"

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"All inclusive hotel with great buffet. Beautiful and large beach."

Tembo House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our stay here was fine. The hotel is right on the water with a great proximity to StoneTown shopping and the sights. The breakfast was very good and the staff was helpful. Recommended!"

The Residence Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"We had lot of issues with poorly maintained appliances , light switches , bathrooms , WiFi connectivity , property is amazing otherwise"

Amaan Beach Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right on the water. Very well priced for a great experience in Nungwi. Nothing bad to say about the place. Beds are pretty firm, but thsts pretty standard for Zanzibar and most Southern African places (that are not 5 stars and super expensive). Would definitely come back again"

My Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"
