Elisha and Zebron i dealt with daily and they made sure everything was in order and that i enjoyed myself. The cooks serce some of the best food i have tasted it was so i tried food i have never tried. The property was secure and i had no worries of unfavorable events occuring. First place i have stayed wjere housekeeping comes in person at least 3 times a day to ensure the room is in order or to check if anything is needed. I didn’t just meet people that work at a lodge there, no i made friends and i will be visiting again.

The staff, led by the incredibly helpful and friendly General Manager, Cameron, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The two ladies behind the bar, whose names unfortunately escape me, provided impeccable service with warm smiles and attentive care. The food was simply divine, thanks to the talented chefs in the kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfasts, which featured a wide variety of fresh fruits, pastries, and cooked-to-order dishes. The hotel’s beautiful setting was a major highlight of our stay. The main pool, with its stunning views of the local beach and fishermen, was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The ruins of Chuini, located within the hotel grounds, added a touch of history and intrigue. We were also impressed by the cleanliness and well-maintained condition of our room and the hotel facilities. Overall, our experience at Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge was unforgettable. We highly recommend this exceptional hotel to anyone seeking a luxurious and relaxing vacation in Zanzibar. ##### Lauren Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abeed Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staying here was a dream.

We did not enjoy the lodge food and it's expensive for the quality we tasted. There aren't any nearby dinning places near the lodge and not is the place convenient for transportation to go to other places ##### Bruck Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Manon Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Bon établissement, personnel accueillant. La chambre rend mieux sur les photos, les finitions sont très grossières, peignoirs, serviettes etc tachés… de plus l’hôtel est mal situé, pas possible de sortir à pied. Le restaurant est bof et cher. Sinon, la piscine est très bien, belle vue. Un mini accès à une plage où il y est impossible de se baigner, plutôt une plage des locaux. ##### Manon Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 21, 2025 Liked: Staff & service #### Mittelmässiges Hotel an aussergewöhnlicher Lage Um zum Hotel zu gelangen muss man eine lange Schotterpiste hinter sich bringen. Die Lage ist gut und direkt am Meer. Allerdings kann man nicht wirklich im Meer schwimmen, es gibt kaum Einstiegspunkte. Auf der einen Seite muss man über Steine auf der anderen vorbei an lokalen Fischerbooten. Die Aussicht, sowie Restaurant sind wirklich etwas spezielles. Auch der Komplex ist schön gestaltet. Das Restaurant braucht es auch, nach Stonetown ist man min. 30 minuten unterwegs und es gibt sonst keine Restaurants in der Nähe. Mein Zimmer war leider nicht sehr gut, sehr düster und nur minimal eingerichtet. Es ist auch renovierungsbedürftig, besser man befindet sich nicht allzu lange im Zimmer. Das Wifi im Zimmer ist ebenfalls miserabel, bei der Reception hingegen recht gut. Alles in allem kann ich das Hotel nur bedingt empfehlen, es gibt extrem viele gute Hotels auf Sansibar, das Chuini zähle ich leider nicht hinzu. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Asbjørn Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Hotell for voksne Hotell bestående av små hus med to leiligheter. Som ellers på Zanzibar; totalt uegnet for handicappede. Fint område innafor murene. Vakter fra masaistammen passer på døgnet rundt. Tilnærmet slumområde utenfor murene. Ta taxi. Overmåte hyggelig betjening. Og det er mange av dem. Maten sånn passe. Ikke bestill pizza. Det kan de ikke lage. ##### Asbjørn Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HARRISON Jan 8, 2025 Liked: Amenities A wonderful gem in Zanzibar. I can’t recommend this place enough, beautiful, tranquil, delicious food and clean comfortable bedrooms. It was the perfect few days I needed. The hotel is also very helpful in organising excursions, spa treatments etc . Would recommend to anyone. ##### HARRISON Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charonne Nov 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very friendly staff and helpful! ##### Charonne Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andreas Nov 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Romantisk men lidt slidt i krogene Hotellets personale og køkken var super godt.

Me hadde ein som låg rett ved stranda. Flott sjøutsikt i etesalen. God mat. Gode solsenger ved bassenget. Ikkje så mykje å gjere i området, men me såg litt på dei som fiksa båtar på den lokale stranda, og me gjekk til ei nabostrand. Når det var lågvatn gjekk me ein tur på stranda, men her var det ein del søppel, som me plukka. Me tok også ein dhow inn til Stonetown, i staden for å ta vanleg taxi. Fin båttur. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F0562DC74EB606636053F1745557E0BDE09013991722676085102.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B12E6C01DB7F0A2191257D2F63F9D6FC0756D3E81722676126312.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ørnulf Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann Jul 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Small property as to number of rooms. Staff very helpful and personable. Food was good, sometimes slow other times within minutes of ordering. Lovely party for guest one evening with music and celebration of food and maybe for full moon. Not easy to ambulatory the step and walkway. They were uneven and nights the walkway not lite very well. On the ocean and a fishing area, some times isand petroleum and the burning smells...overall Avery pleasant stay would recommend and would love to visit again. ##### Ann Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Pritha Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The staff at Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge are the best thing about property. They are extremely friendly and really strive hard to provide excellent customer service. The surroundings are stunning and provides an amazing backdrop during sunset. We did suffer a few issues. On our first evening, there was no water in any of the villas for several hours. A day later, water from the toilet in our villa was leaking and flooded the cubicle. Kasim tried to resolve the problem the same evening but informed us that it would need to be fixed by a plumber the following morning. Kasim offered us a move into a different villa, which we declined since we were not keen to pack up so late in the evening. Hence he left us the keys of the adjoining villa so that we could use the bathroom there since the water supply had to be turned off in our villa to stop the leak. The lodge was offering 15 minute complimentary massages to all guests but due to the problems we suffered during our stay, Kasim arranged for the two of us to enjoy complimentary one hour massages each. We both opted for the deep tissue massages and this was amazing and very relaxing as it helped to soothe our aching muscles. We really enjoyed the food at Chuini, with the chef using an array of fresh produce to create a variety delicious dishes. We particularly enjoyed the tuna tartare with the mango and avocado salad as well as the wraps and fried rice. Esther was always a smiling presence in the dining area. ##### Pritha Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Enam May 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Chuini Stay Feedback Chuini was great to stay!
