Kids who walked me through at check-in was perfect. Pleasant guy super helpful, everyone and everything was spot on! Can’t go wrong with this property. ##### JACK Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emma Jan 29, 2026 Disliked: Amenities The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean. However, it was disappointing that the pool was salt water and small especially considering that at this time of year there is no beach due (I gather from the staff) to the wind direction and depending on the tide it can be a fair walk to the sea. We had problems with our AC, the staff were helpful in getting it working but it was not very efficient. The resort prides itself on sustainable eco friendly tourism which is absolutely great so I was surprised when the waitress brought us bottled water (for $2.50 US) at dinner rather than a jug of the bulk mineral water (free) which the manager had shown me to cut down on plastic bottles. The ambiance of the resort is good and the location on the edge of Nungwi is a great mix of quiet with lively restaurants close by. ##### Emma Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 4/10 Poor #### sameera Jan 26, 2026 Disliked: Amenities the room was good, however, we were there for 2 nights, the room was okay but we experienced power outages constantly through out our stay, at one point the power was out for at least 3 hours, i was told it was due to the area outages but they advertise having generators so that did not make sense to us, since we came during peak hot season. also the menu was the same for the 2 days we were there and I was not informed that soda's were not part of the full board package that we paid for. we could not utilize the beach due to corals and sea urchins. not a kids friendly hotel, ##### sameera Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrianne Sep 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Ocean view is amazing.

Staff is really good and does everything to serve. Location is walkable to restaurants and stores, through the beach or street. It was not a problem for us, but variety on breakfast is limited (at least the days we stayed there). This is a place to return. ##### Rodrigo Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cute little hotel with lovely staff.

The staff at the Zanzibari hotel were exceptionally attentive and the service was always prompt. In a place where the main beach can be over run with tourists, it was such a pleasure to step into the quiet oasis that is the Zanzibari hotel grounds. This is a great gem of a property in Nungwi and would only improvements would be to upgrade the quality of the food, which was "safe" but very bland and to upgrade the plumbing issues in unit OC1\. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/227d8bc9-2ef0-4fba-aba1-c6159dcf4663-1748870288505.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9230fd83-28fb-4099-89c7-4b5dec91a4db-1748870314474.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Maria Antonia Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia Nov 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely well-kept gardens with steps down to the beach; swimming pool and sunbeds; spacious room with a massive bed.
