Matemwe6 nights3.5 star property9.2/10 - Wonderful (97 reviews)"The eco-friendly resort is a little gem. The cuisine is varied and excellent—even by Italian standards—with an outstanding breakfast offering both sweet and savory options. The air-conditioned bungalows, equipped with mosquito nets, were serviced multiple times a day, including the spraying of mosquito repellent.Efficient and very friendly staff.Top-notch security. A quiet, secluded location.

Kiwengwa6 nights5.0 star property9.0/10 - Wonderful (153 reviews)"Our stay at Diamonds Mapenzi Beach had several positive aspects. The location is good, the pool area is nice, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the stay. That said, there are a few points worth being aware of. The rooms appear more worn in reality than the pictures suggest, which detracts from the overall impression. In addition, the food unfortunately falls below expectations. Considering the price, the culinary experience could have been significantly better. This..."Reviewed April 7, 2026Return • London (LHR) - Zanzibar (ZNZ)LHR - ZNZ • 1 stop ZNZ - LHR • 1 stop£2,670£1,780found 1 day agoper traveller - Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

Food was exceptionally good, both in the a La Carte restaurants and the buffet, grounds were immaculate, staff were friendly and warm. The pool areas and raised beach were fabulous. If you had a question or needed help with something, dial 9 and reception staff sorted it without ever needing to leave your room. Without doubt one of our best holidays ever and we will be going back next year without a doubt. The only note of caution would relate to..."Reviewed October 22, 2026Return • London (LHR) - Zanzibar (ZNZ)LHR - ZNZ • 1 stop ZNZ - LHR • 1 stop£2,837£1,892found 1 day agoper traveller - Ycona Luxury Resort

"Clean room with a nice new bathroom , an excellent breakfast with a lovely view across the harbor. Staff were helpful."
"A wonderful stay in the heart of Stone Town! We stayed at Emerson Spice during our trip to Zanzibar and what a fantastic place it is! The hotel is full of character, with beautiful traditional architecture and a real sense of Zanzibar’s history. It’s completely different from your typical hotel, which is exactly what makes it so special. The location is brilliant for exploring Stone Town, with everything within easy walking distance. The atmosphere is relaxed and authentic, and staying here...
"The room was large and very clean. The staff were very helpful."
"The room was very spacious, clean, comfortable bed. New thing for us, was everyday our and kids bed were made for night sleep. Two things was a bit annoying: water pressure in the shower wasn’t very good and the noise few nites (probably some kind water generator sound like helicopter on the roof). I want to recommend a water safari trip we booked with the company based in hotel orange T-shirt and our guide Suri. Best to go afternoon. This trip was amazing we were snorkelling with dolphins, and...
"An absolutely amazing stay! The rooms were really nice and comfortable. The place is right on the beach (literally, you step onto sand once you enter through the gate). And I can not say enough about how thoughtful, considerate, and kind ALL of the staff are - (for example, they stood by our chairs when we left our towels etc to go into the ocean without us asking or anything!). Definitely will be recommending to all my friends."
"This is a hotel of opposites. Great location in stone town but down a dark alley you can’t quite drive to the door. Helpful reception but we’d booked 3 rooms and they initially gave us 2. Lovely clean spacious rooms but others with no view or very noisy. Wonderful old character but random electrical sockets - could only have the (empty) fridge OR the kettle OR the light plugged in. Clean bathroom with plenty of hot water and shower gel but no soap to wash hands at the basin. Great terrace for...
"Hotel located in the middle of Stone Town, beautifully maintained. Great breakfast and cocktail menu. Pool located at the rooftop is too small and does not feel private. It is located at the same level as the restaurant, which is open to the public. Staff was not very helpful for a solo black traveler. Like in many tourist-packed destination on the continent, staff tend to gravitate towards white or white-adjacent clients. Hotel manager (of Indian descent) was also very unwelcoming. He also...
