Baraza Resort and Spa Zanzibar

"What an amazing resort! Everything was perfect, from the immaculate grounds and pool area to the friendly and helpful staff. Great food and drink as well, plus a spectacular spa. We can't say enough good things about Baraza."

The Nest Boutique Resort

"Had a great time on the ATV tour! It was a fantastic way to get a close-up look at the rainforest, and the trails offered both muddy fun and beautiful views. The guides ensured everyone's safety and were amiable. I highly recommend it for an enjoyable afternoon excursion."

The Palms Zanzibar

"We had a fantastic stay at the Palms. The small number of villas provides for a intimate getaway. The villa's are amazing. The service from all the staff is great, a special mention to Ngasa and Jackson who made us feel at home at the Palms. All the food was very good and the small number of guests made dining feel very special. On two nights they had entertainment which was very nice. The pool is great, a nice temperature and again because of the small number of guests the pool is never crowded. We would defiantly recommend the Palms to anyone visiting Zanzibar."

Hakuna Majiwe Beach Lodge

"We were extremely disappointed with our stay. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the accommodation did not match what was advertised online. During our stay, we had to change rooms three times due to ongoing issues. Basic facilities were simply not up to standard: there was no hot water, the air conditioning was so noisy it was impossible to use at night, and a mosquito net – which was clearly listed as included – was not provided. The bed was of very poor quality and made loud creaking noises, making it difficult to get any proper rest. The sheets were covered in stains. The beach area was poorly maintained and looked nothing like the photos shown online, which we found very misleading. Additionally, there was very limited availability of food and drinks, with many items on the menu not being available. The hotel also lacked any atmosphere, as we appeared to be the only guests staying, which made the experience feel uncomfortable and disappointing. We raised these issues during our stay, but they were not resolved in a satisfactory way. As a result, we decided to leave early after only 3 nights, despite having booked 11 nights. Because of this, we were forced to book another hotel at our own expense in order to salvage our holiday, which resulted in significant additional costs. Do not expect any form of compensation or willingness to resolve issues from the hotel. Overall, this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience, and we would strongly advise others to avoid staying here."

Promised Land Lodge

"We stayed for 5 nights in Promised Land Lodge. Very relaxed atmosphere, nice seaview from our room, fascinating to see the tide coming in and out. Good swimming at high tide, there are not many waves. Staff is generally friendly. Rooms were basic but clean. The water in the swimming pool was not clear and smelly (too much sunscreen in the water??). We only used the pool once. A pity, because it is a nice large pool, great to have a dip during the day when the tide is low. We found the food average, the breakfast is rather simple (a platter with fruit, a choice of eggs or pancakes, fresh juice, coffee and tea, milk and cornflakes). It is the same every day. For lunch and dinner there is enough choice, quality is OK but not outstanding. Not all options were availalbe all the time. We frequently did not have water in our bathroom sink. It was fixed and broken again multiple times. Be aware: - no Airconditioning in the room, the ceiling fan was providing enough wind so we could sleep well - no drinking water in the room, you have to buy 1.5 liter bottles at the bar - no kettle in the room to make some tea or coffee - electricity shuts off frequently and during the day there is no generator working - order your dinner in advance, during the afternoon to make sure your choice is still availalble - there are 4 (friendly) dogs wandering around the premises, the also come in the restaurant and sleep under and on top of the sunbeds. - music is played at the bar all day (when there is electricity), can be disturbing if you want a quiet holiday - bring watershoes! - there is no sandy beach"

Mayai Ocean Resort

"Mayai Ocean is a fantastic boutique hotel on Zanzibar’s beautiful East coast. All the staff at this hotel from the reception, to the waiters/bar staff, to housekeeping and maintenance were wonderful. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, and the bathroom had lots of hot water and good water pressure. Relaxing was easy at Mayai, with lots of areas to choose from; from loungers on the beach, to loungers around the lovely pool, to ones in the shade for when the Zanzibar sun got a bit to much! We used the concierge services to arrange swimming with dolphins, taxi to Stone Town and diving, which was easy and efficient. Thank you Rita! This place was really the perfect place to end our Tanzania experience."

Jambiani White Sands Bungalows

"Everything was very nice! Very clean hotel. Nice people. And a beautifull view. I can’t wish for better. The breakfast was very nice and I had nothing to be negative about. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who comes to Jambiani for a holiday. they help you with all your questions and everything has quality"

Nest Style Beach Hotel Zanzibar

"Wonderful boutique hotel. Beautiful beach, very tasty food and smiling hotel staff. On-site gym (it's a bit old, but it's there) and two swimming pools. Large selection of drinks and a la carte dinner. Open buffet breakfasts and dinners. Rooms cleaned daily. In the evenings, just before dinner, an interesting tradition of getting to know each other with local juices and alcohol."

"Beautiful resort, lovely staff and tasty food. The pool as very nice, and you can do activities like snorkeling close to the resort."

"Beautiful hotel. Cleanliness: Excellent. Service: Excellent. Rooms: Very nice and spacious. To get to the nearby beach, you can easily use the hotel's shuttle. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Bali Resort."
