The Nest Boutique Resort

The property in Zanzibar impresses with its private pool, changing room, and stunning beach views. Guests value the consistent cleanliness and fresh environment provided by daily cleaning and towel changes.

I never experienced such horrible service. The manager Pocky is so so disrespectful and rude. I cannot imagine how the owner trusted the place to her. My 3 friends and myself booked 2 rooms and stayed 5 nights in total. Just to give you an overview of our experience: 1. We had to beg every day for clean bath and beach towels. The towels we received were either soaked wet or full of stains. 2. The first day there was one staff member j*rking himself at the beach. 3. The hotel was empty, there was no staff to be found, we always had to chase them or whatsapp. 4. We had only for 1 morning breakfast, we ordered at 7.45 and they told us breakfast is closing in 15 minutes, while we were waiting for the staff to order breakfast since 6.30 am. Regardless the breakfast was horrible and smelling very bad. And last but not least the bathroom was flooded every day. This is just a few of our comments to sum up our full experience. When we addressed our concerns to the manager she was so defensive and put the blame on “it is low season”, “this is Africa” and “you shouldn’t expect too much from African countries”. At some point we said, if we don’t get clean towels, you will not get the hotel money as this is a basic necessity. And voila she threatened us with local authorities. Missing the point of us desperately needing clean towels. Even tho the last dat we asked for late check out which she granted after all arguing and addressing this complains, she said not to expect clean towels. See attached screenshots.
