Zanoceanique Luxury Hotel ★★

Villa Kiva Boutique Hotel ★★★★

"A cosy, warm and pleasant hotel to relax after our safari. Clear information, great food and staff who are going for the extra mile. Both public as private spaces are very clean. Start the day with excellent Italian coffee watching sunrise."

Boutique Villa Unaweza ★★★★

"Really cool atmosphere, give Tulum, polynesian and African vibes. 2 min walk to the beach. Nice breakfast and friendly staff"

Marafiki Beach Hotel & Spa ★★★

"Incredible place. Excellent facilities, clean, excellent food, and great hospitality. The location is beautiful. The only drawback is that the sea isn't suitable for swimming. It's greatly affected by the tide. Even when the tide is high, the sea is present, but no one goes swimming due to the massive presence of sea urchins. If you come here, plan to take a taxi to a swimmable beach."

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 ★★★

"Finding accommodation that ticks all the boxes in an unfamiliar country is often a challenge… but here, everything was simply perfect. After our many trips and stays around the world, Salama & Mbuyuni stands out as a true gem. From the moment you arrive, the welcome is warm, genuine, and attentive. The beautifully landscaped garden offers a verdant oasis, perfect for recharging. The accommodations are charming, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Every morning, breakfast is generous and delicious, served with a smile. The three swimming pools, the bar, and its chill-out areas invite relaxation, all within a friendly and refined atmosphere. But what makes the experience truly unique is the team. All the staff members are remarkably kind, always available, and smiling. Paco and Maria oversee everything with passion and care—you can feel their love for what they do, and it shines through in every detail. Even the musical and dance evenings (something Paco could improve? :-)) are on offer, for those who like to keep the fun going. Close your eyes to book… but open them wide once you're there: you'll be charmed."

Zanzibar Pearl - Boutique Hotel & Villas ★★★★

"Very beautiful experience, nice atmosphere and excellent staff"

Zanzibar Sunrise at Bandas ★★★★

"We have just spent a week there and it was a great and relaxing experience!! The resort is really nice, clean and cared, and the staff is extremely friendly. They offered yoga classes during the weekdays and we got one of the best massages in our lives in their spa. The food was great and the nights of live music (Tuesdays and Fridays) were top so we really enjoyed a lot our stay there. With regards to the area (not sure if this is the same in all Zanzibar), important to know that you cannot swim in the sea during low tides as the floor is full of stones and sea urchins but it is Ok in high tides. In the beach you have a lot of people trying to sell you things. They are quite Ok when you tell them “no, thanks” but the recurrence of these interactions can be a bit annoying. Last but not least, the sound of the sea during the nights in high tides is very very loud. We got used to it but it took for us a couple of nights."
