Staff are very nice & very polite, Simon on reception is very helpful. Breakfast was amazing , can't talk about dinner. The ocean view remains amazing. Waking up to the sound of ocean If you are looking for a quite place but not so far from all the buzz of Stonetown. This is the hotel for you in Zanzibar ##### Abdi Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Inayat Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities hotel is beautiful, rooms are great and the staff is excellent (perhaps some English language weakness BUT nothing significant). Area around the hotel is not super walkable BUT it is not far from Stone Town (20 minute taxi ride - US$10 to US$20). View from top floor restaurant is amazing and the food is pretty good. I would recommend highly. i would stay here again. ##### Inayat Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John May 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly ##### John Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Evelyn Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff were friendly and very helpful. We liked that it was in a quiet area about 15 min to Stone Town by taxi. The room was large and we enjoyed the pool that looked out over the ocean. Buffet breakfast offered a variety of dishes and the coffee was awesome! We really enjoyed our stay. ##### Evelyn Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joshua Dec 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Cleanliness friendly staff and always welcome and willingness to help in anyway ##### Joshua Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jerome May 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I liked how they handled me after there was a delay in me getting my room, the front desk staff are super friendly ##### Jerome Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Taha Sep 28, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nothing to say about the hotel ##### Taha Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### EMMANUEL Mar 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Only gave a 4 because of the staff but i was leaning towards a 3 or a 2. The property needed renovation about 5 years ago. They keep it keep but you can see the age of the property everywhere you look especially in the bathrooms. ##### EMMANUEL Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Viren Dec 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It took almost two hours to get our suite ready. ##### Viren Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Awa Marvelle Aug 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good experience ##### Awa Marvelle Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Isaac Sep 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Not bad at all ##### Isaac Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah Feb 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The only issue we had was getting picked up from the airport however it not working smoothly for myself and husband the pick up of my daughter went absolutely smoothly.

My wife and I recently spent a week at the Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort as a prelude to our wedding anniversary, and it was nothing short of amazing. We chose this hotel based on glowing reviews, and our experience completely confirmed them. From the moment we arrived, the staff stood out with their exceptional warmth and professionalism. They were not only pleasant but also had a distinct artistic approach to customer service, making us feel special at every turn. Our romantic getaway was made even more memorable by the little touches that showed how much thought went into ensuring a delightful stay. Housekeeping went above and beyond, giving our bedroom a unique and creative spread every day. It felt like a fresh surprise each time we walked in. Breakfast on the rooftop was another highlight, with a variety of beautifully served cuisines accompanied by breathtaking scenic views. It was the perfect way to start each day. The absolute highlight of our stay was the private dinner by the poolside, arranged just for the two of us. The ambiance was magical, and it truly felt like a dream come to life. We leave Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort with beautiful memories and a deep longing to return. It’s a place that perfectly blends luxury, romance, and exceptional service. We can’t wait to plan our next visit to Zanzibar! ##### Edmund Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Neha Aug 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Staff were lovely at this property and our was clean and spacious. The bathroom was dated and shower door broken but sorted out immediately once sorted. The hotel allow taxi drivers to wait in the reception but they do try and rip you off and hassle you a but. We had one taxi driver try to convice us that 20usd and 15000 tsh. I find it surprising that the hotel staff dont intervene ##### Neha Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Taniese Aug 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff here was very friendly. 2 bedroom was very spacious. Breakfast options could have been better and at times there was a lot of noise coming from outside. Some renovations to the property to uplift certain areas would also be great. Overall, I would stay here again due to the friendliness of the staff alone. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/37fdf1ef-32fa-4c7d-9a74-97a252df4cdb-1755045174304.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/00145e17-1380-4899-af21-ad509cea9a88-1755045176731.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22d244e7-6dc8-4ed9-a9c3-7994a4e53b6d-1755045174268.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Taniese Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities They are just amazing.

The first night in the room was infected by the presence of insects all over the place. It was absolutely disgusting ! We spent the night in there because we checked in very late around 1am and they were not able to get us a room changes. The morning receptionist was not very decisive and not at all friendly.
