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

We have been to Villa Kiva several times throughout the years and it's always a joy to come back. The hotel is small, intimate, private, a beautiful deck right on the white beach of Matemwe and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. The perfect place to relax and unwind. Rooms are nicely designed and offer everything you need. Food is just excellent, a combination of international and Italian cuisine using high quality ingredients. Can't miss the cocktails of barman Mussa! Managers Kamila and Tazio are great hosts and together with all the staff go out of their way to make your stay unforgettable. This is a different Zanzibar, away from the chartered crowds and away from the noise of Kendwa and Nungwi. If you look for simplicity, authenticity and great value for money then Villa Kiva is your choice. Asanteni sana, tutarudi tena.

This is the place you want to visit if you are looking for a quiet but comfortable PARADISE. Beautiful place and even more beautiful people, kind and professional made the difference. We visited end of February, and thought we had nice weather, AC is something to have in mind and makes a huge difference. Located in a quiet beach away from typical tourists crowded areas, but still offering all the best of Zanzibar and must see/do activities, as well as other quality restaurants waking distance in the beach. Rooms are very comfortable, clean, with all you may need, and loved that they sprayed for mosquitoes and prepared the bed with the mosquitoes canopy every evening. Apart from having a wider options of entertainment in the hotel and same for dinner menu, couldn’t ask for anything else. We recommend 100%

An authentic hotel about one hour drive from the airport, away from big resorts, located directly on the beach. The rooms were nice and clean, food was fresh and tasty, staff very friendly and service excellent. When we arrived, our room was not ready because the air conditioning was broken. We were offered another room to take shower and relax after our flight. They fixed the aircon in about three hours. The only drawback was, that you cannot swim in the sea there, because it is very shallow and there are thousands of sea urchins. We went snorkeling that was organized by the hotel - there were dozens of other ships with tourists snorkeling and diving at the place they took us. But overall, it was a very relaxing stay by two pools in a well kept garden.

We chose Villa Kiva based on the rating in *********** and we were not disappointed. We had an Africa room with a sea view, more expensive but worth it. Staff exceptional and food was first class, including catering for gluten free needs

Great restaurant. Wish I could say I stayed there but was staying somewhere else. I ate there every day for 4 days over the Christmas holidays . Great food, service, and view.

It was an incredible experience! We stayed for seven days and loved everything. The hotel's location is perfect, right in front of the beach and very close to the north of the island. All the staff were extraordinary and did everything to make us feel at home. Special thanks to Pietro, who played a key role in making our vacation unforgettable. The hotel food was delicious and the half-board option was definitely the best choice. If we return to Zanzibar, Villa Kiva will be our choice again.

The perfect relax and re-coup! Loved our stay at Villa Kiva. Great location, fab beach, nice restaurant and comfy rooms. Varied menu with lots of Zanzibari and international food to cater for all tastes. Reasonably priced wine too so we got a couple of bottles to enjoy over a few nights. Special mentions to Mussa and Jenny who made our stay fun with their help and great conversations. We enjoyed the yoga classes and I booked a massage too which was really good. Our room was well appointed with a beach view - it all felt private and relaxed. The beach hakwers can be a bit annoying to it's good Villa Kiva have some private raised beach beds and loungers within the hotel where the hawkers can't go so it's peaceful, as well as their garden loungers and pools. Some nice things to buy as well in a mini shop such as clothing and sun creams in case you need anything.
