Zanoceanique Luxury Hotel ★★

Kena Beach Hotel ★★★★

"An excellent property to visit with family & friends. Very friendly management & staff. Very comfortable rooms. The chef also served us with some Indian Butter Chicken which was not on the menu.. but made it specially for my son.. Helped me when I had a problem with the next door hotel with rotten rooms."

Zoi Boutique Hotel Zanzibar ★★★

"My 5th time staying at this small boutique hotel at the wonderful Matemwe beach. This probably says it all, love it and the peace and quiet of the place. I come here to dive and the collaboration with Sunshine Marine Hotel and Dive Point dive center makes it a convenient base. A few recent upgrades when the hotel changed owners and name (from Zoi Boutique Hotel) on 1 January 2025 were very timely, including adding ACs. Love the staff, their service mindedness and good spirit and will continue to return if they can keep their room and restaurant prices in check. I got a good deal as I stayed several days, but think high-season prices of USD 200+ is too much for a very nice and big, but relatively basic room. In my view, the restaurant menu could do with a rethink and a little more focus on local dishes, more seafood, vegetarian options and adding some more starters. It is slightly uninspired. Inspiration could be drawn from neighbouring hotels like Villa Kiva and Zanzibar Sunrise or the hotel next door."

Marafiki Beach Hotel & Spa ★★★

"We had the opportunity to spend 4 nights at the resort. Beautiful accommodations!! Our meals were included which were delicious. Friendly staff!"

Villa Kiva Boutique Hotel ★★★★

"The hospitality of the hotel is amazing. They provided me everything I need, I had to catch a midnight flight and they even prepare me boxes of food just because I had breakfast included in my package. The vibe here is very chill. Highly recommended to have a stay here. Cons: food in general is abit salty. And choice is less"

Salama & Mbuyuni Bungalows ★★★

"What a place. I absolutely loved it here. I also loved all the people. All the staff are so friendly and chatted. They are very helpful and made are stay warm and welcoming. Paco is a diamond. Great company, works very hard and has built what I can only describe as paradise. The place is great value for money. All the food and drink is very reasonable. It’s about a 5 minute walk to Matamwe beach, where you can find alternative restaurants if you want to."

Zanzibar Sunrise at Bandas ★★★★

"After a safari in Tanzania, coming here to relax was wonderful: lovely rooms in thatched bungalows by the beach, lush vegetation, great understated decor, lovely, smiling staff, delicious food, musical evening and dancing!"

Boutique Villa Unaweza ★★★★

"Over the past year, I’ve had the chance to visit many resorts in Zanzibar, and Villa Unavewaze truly stands out. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautifully designed, offering a cozy and intimate escape. The staff are exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The food was another highlight – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a relaxing break, this place is a perfect choice. Thank you for a wonderful stay – I will definitely be back!"

Zanzibar Pearl - Boutique Hotel & Villas ★★★★

"I was impressed by the beauty of the resort. It offers a lot of privacy and calmness. Perfect for honeymooners who don't want to share their vacation with tons of other tourists. The staff was very kind and helpful, especially Nadia, one of the mansgers, who would always have an open ear for problems of any sort. Thanks to her I really had an unforgetable stay ..."
