"Quite far to get to from Stonetown but a stunning location. It’s boutique hotel so not the facilities of a mega resort but the local friendly staff arranged a couple of excellent things for me and I really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere. Great food too with sea views. I also enjoyed a massaged in a small hut by the sea so could hear the surf. "
"Wonderful experience. The house is stunning and the room is comfortable and very clean.
The pool is incredible.
When high tide, we could just jump in the ocean right down the house
The staff is very friendly and polite. The Chef makes the best burgers ever.
The house is quiet but only 10 minutes away from all restaurants and bars from Nungwi
A very good combination of hideaway.
We highly recommend this Villa"
"Had a great experience during my stay. Wilson was great and helped us a lot! Beautiful scenery. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling in the region!"
"Amazing property. Secluded, with incredible views. With only 17 bungalows, if you want privacy and tranquility this is your place. The food is delicious, the staff accommodating (the dining staff extended lunch time by an hour just to accommodate us). Eclectically cool decor. Affordable luxury... highly recommend"
"Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast as expected, nothing fancy but nice. Great rooms with Daily moskito hindering. Nice size. Great and nice, but rather small pool.
In the end the hotel lived up to our expectations."
"Stop searching for anothers places to stay, Opera Hotel was our most pleasant stay ever: very good restaurant, extremely clean, outstanding service and comfort! With 2 swimming pools also. Just5 to 10 minutes walking to the nicest beaches in Zanzibar!"
"Beautiful hotel. The staff is the best part. The barefoot concept is great. If you are looking for a relaxing and quiet getaway this is the one. The ocean is not very accessible as it is mainly coral so keep that in mind when booking- you will most likely be 99% in the pool not the ocean."
"Property is nice, but the area is not the best in Zanzibar. Beach is right where a working fishing village is located. Not very private at all!
Property is nice, grounds are ok. Overall upkeep of the property is below expectations. We switched villas and the second one was better, but not in pristine condition.
Villa layout is awkward. Bathroom is separate from the room structure and with a very peculiar design, offering very little privacy.
Pricing is outrageous, at more then $1,000 a...
"I am a solo female traveller. Zanzibar House is an excellent property in so many ways. The staff are friendly and helpful. The grounds are a delight to be in, with lots of comfortable places to sit and read or contemplate the beauty of the area.
I did not use the pool and I am sure it would be lovely.
At night time I had an evening meal which was tasty and they accommodated my dietary requirements very well. I am gluten intolerant. I recommend this hotel if you like quiet and beauty filled...
"We stayed 2 nights in Sunshine Bay Hotel. We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly attentive and welcoming, ensuring that we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. Every request was met with a smile, and they went above and beyond to make our experience seamless.
The hotel facilities were top-notch—everything was pristine and designed with comfort in mind. The room was...

"The property was beautiful! Our room was perfect. Every single person on staff we interacted with was simply amazing! The food was great. We enjoyed the restaurant manager Ashook and also enjoyed meeting the general manager.
Thank you for a great stay! We would highly recommend your resort to others!

"We had an amazing stay at Sunshine Marine Lodge. The staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly. The reception team helped with arranging tours and activities - we especially loved the tour of Stone Town! The hotel also offers transfer services from the airport, which was really convenient. The resort itself is beautiful and peaceful. The food was also great, especially the fresh fruit at breakfast and the daily specials for lunch and dinner. Cannot recommend this stay enough!"
