We came here on our honeymoon and it’s been an absolutely fantastic experience. We’ve been brilliantly looked after throughout. We arrived at midnight to a cool, clean and gorgeous room (with excellent anti mosquito defences!). The food, team looking after us and location have been out of this world! My only complaint is about the amount of weight I’ve gained…!

Very disappointing experience. We were recommended this place for Sunday brunch. We arrived at 11.30 as per booking, the place was empty, no vibe. The live music / DJ was meant to be playing from 11, however, when asked, we were told that “he has not arrived yet”. (He eventually arrived at 12:30 and started to set up - we didn’t hear him playing). The brunch food is very average, I ordered French toast - it was nothing like french toast at all, just slightly fried bread with honey drizzled on top. Service is quite poor as it takes long time to attract attention from the waiters who were preoccupied with their phones. Even when repeatedly asked to bring butter and jam (which was part of one of the dishes we ordered) - it only arrived when my son finished with his toast:) We were leaving at around 13.00 and the place was still pretty empty, with a couple of tables occupied. The good thing about the place is a view and the fact it’s so close to the Rock restaurant. View basically earned an extra start in this review. Spend your money and time at Rock would be my advice.

Fizemos um Safari fantástico de 7 dias e chegámos a Zanzibar com as expectativas elevadas. Infelizmente Zanzibar foi uma desilusão, muito vento, a ilha é muito pobre e muito suja ( as praias também muito sujas), os passeios organizados são muito fracos e não são de todo aquilo que "nos vendem". Quanto ao Upendo, apesar do serviço ser bom, as pessoas são muito simpáticas e atenciosas, também ficou aquém daquilo que estávamos à espera. Sonhávamos com uma semana de descanso, uma bela praia, cadeiras na praia.... e nada disso aconteceu, a praia do hotel é francamente má, muito suja localizada junto do restaurante "The Rock", um dos pontos turísticos da ilha, pelo que o local tem sempre muito movimento de turistas, o que não é simpático. Um destino para não repetir!

Un seul mot : Parfait ! Une semaine paradisiaque dans ce petit hôtel de huit chambres. Les chambres sont très confortable et agréable à vivre. Vous vous réveillerez et vous coucherez avec la vue sur le lagon si vous prenez naturellement l’option vue mer. Le personnel est adorable et aux petits soins pour les clients. Enfin, le restaurant propose une variété de plats locaux et internationaux de très bonne qualité. En résumé, je conseille vivement cet hôtel pour ceux qui veulent se reposer loin des gros complexes bruyants.

Ayant séjourné au Upendo stone Town, nous avons opté pour ce boutique hôtel bourré de Charme côté plage : face à la mer avec un restaurant lounge exceptionnel, la vue est magique face au célèbre Rock bar, endroit calme et paisible avec piscine privée pour les petites villas ou partagée pour la grande Villa avec les autres occupants. Le personnel est très accessible, gentil et très serviable … une petite boutique tres chic agrémente aussi ce lieu ouvert et soigné. Nous avons presque retrouvé l’ambiance de Bali de quelques années, soit une âme dans cet espace, la déco minimaliste mais élégante, et l’impression du temps suspendu… L’hôtel est de loin un des meilleurs sur cette côte, les activités sont variées et proposées aux résidents et les cocktails des bars délicieux à tester. Nombreux sont les touristes qui viennent déjeuner sur place car le menu offre un choix delicieux … La marée sur toute la côte est un phénomène naturel a voir mais les plages de sable blanc et la baignade reste accessible à pied (chaussures fournis par l’hôtel si besoin ainsi que les équipements de snorkling …) Une petite mention pour les deux hôtels Upendo : le petit dej est vraiment trop copieux entre les fruits exotiques de saison, le jus frais, les œufs, pancake…. Merci à toute l’équipe d’avoir rendu notre voyage à Zanzibar unique

We visited Zanzibar with our family in October 2023. We visited Upendo where we had sundowners and after we had a great dinner with the best view on the Rock. After dinner my kids hang out with the belgian sheppards while looking over the ocean.
