Zanoceanique Luxury Hotel ★★

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"

Boutique Villa Unaweza ★★★★

"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Its close to the beach but not directly on the beach and it has a great pool area. The rooms were spacious and modern. I found that it lacked shelving or bench space for your luggage and there wasn't enough space for unpacking so your stuff ended up on the floor, but that was a minor detail. The pool area is the highlight of the hotel with lots of space to relax and close enough to the bar and restaurant area. The staff are helpful, especially Silvie who offers complimentary yoga classes and is knowledgable on tours and activities. I must say that the restaurant was overpriced for what they were offering and food took almost an hour to prepare (even frozen pizza bases) - also, we were a group of 10 and their kitchen couldn't cope with the orders for all 10 of us - so we never got our food together. By the time the last person received their food, the first person had been finished their dinner for a good 30 minutes."

Zanzibar Bahari Villas ★★★★

"Nice hotel for Mnemba Island tour, very close to the Island and the hotel staff was perfect. I had the best massage ever listening to the ocean and in front of the beach. The food is fantastic and they do not serve alcoholic beverage, despite the fact that I drink, I liked the attitude from the hotel to keep their believe above the tourists. Old hotel that need a lot of maintenance and worst beach in the Island, a lot of seahedges. "

Salama & Mbuyuni Bungalows ★★★

"A family-run place where you can stay and they'll help you plan what to see and where to go. Paco and María (the owners) are wonderful, attentive, and very attentive to their guests; you'll want to come back again and again. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The waiters are amazing! (laughs)"

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."

Zanzibar Pearl - Boutique Hotel & Villas ★★★★

"Very nice. I loved to stay here. A small and beautiful hotel"

Zanzibar Sunrise at Bandas ★★★★

"Such a magical place to spend 4 luxurious days after our safari. We walked straight onto the stunning beach from our accommodation, enjoyed time relaxing, swimming and reading by the pool, and ate wonderful breakfasts and dinners while there. Farah was an amazing host of the property, even lending my husband her husband's bathing suit after we realized my husband had forgotten his. She gave us a great history of the property and of the island, and ran a lovely yoga class every day. Perfect ending to our time in Tanzania. Couldn't recommend this more highly."
