"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...

Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel

8/10 Good

"Extremely helpful staff. Great hotel. The public beach in front of the hotel has a busy (and sometimes party) vibe. It can be loud during the day but quiets down by 10-11pm. We had a good beach view from our room. Room was very clean. There were other dining options nearby the hotel."

Essque Zalu Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in Zanzibar !! Wonderful rooms and villas, delicious food (breakfast and dinner), fresh fruit and freshly made meals. Quiet environment, lovely swimming pool and friendly staff. Hotel is clean, very well located and installations are beautiful (very authentic). We just loved our time there !!"

Sunset Kendwa

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay at Sunset Kendwa. My double room was incredibly spacious, and everything worked perfectly; from the hot water to the air conditioning. The resort itself has a great atmosphere, with direct beach access, plenty of activities, and delicious food. African Night was a highlight, with an amazing buffet, Maasai performances, and an acrobatic show that made for a memorable evening. There were just a couple of things that could be improved. Because I had the “Do Not Disturb” sign on my door, my room wasn’t sprayed for mosquitoes one evening, and I wasn’t aware this was part of the evening service. I also couldn’t find a phone number to reach reception, so my only option would have been to walk there, which wasn’t ideal. My biggest suggestion would be around dining hours. Breakfast and dinner ended quite strictly, and if you missed them, there were very limited alternatives. I think it would greatly improve the guest experience if there were an all-day menu available outside the standard meal times, especially for guests returning from excursions or activities. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this resort. The positives far outweighed the negatives. 😊"

Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The food was decent. The quality itself didn’t feel amazing. I think they missed chances for excellent dining such as carving tables or omelet station. They could’ve had more selection and it was difficult to get into the restaurants. The hotel itself is newer very clean and well-maintained especially coming from Stonetown. It’s perfectly nice for a Westerner. I wish there was more entertainment. There was some nights that there was basically no entertainment and there’s not a lot of amenities for entertainment such as multiple pool tables or club, etc. The overall vibe was laid back. The beach itself was nice with plenty of options for guests and multiple pools. There were a few kids and mainly travelers from Europe and South Africa. I thought security would stop local vendors from hounding you but they didn’t. Overall I didn’t regret my stay but I might look elsewhere next time."

Kendwa Rocks Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were nice. The only downside, no shelves in the bathroom or shower area to lay out your toiletries. The master bedroom didn't have a table to put the suitcases on, always digging out from the floor. Dinner, lunch and breakfast food was good. Beach area was great. You can order drinks or food right from your umbrella. Close to ATM, Minimal and medical facilities."

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!"
