He was so friendly and attentive - he organized my rides and activities for me. I chose to stay in the rooms with AC and not the bungalow type rooms because it would have been to hot for me. The shower pressure isn't the greatest in my room. The hotel is directly on the beach and they have plenty of sun beds with umbrella shades. I wasn't a big fan of the food/drinks at the restaurant though but the staff was amazingly friendly. Would stay here again! ##### Traci Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ewa Aug 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I highly recommend this place for a holiday. It's not commercial, it's not busy—you can feel like you've gone to visit your family in Africa. It's a great location as well, with everything close by. Mallum Cave (a natural, unique, and beautiful swimming pool) is just within walking distance. I visited Stone Town and Jozani Forest—you can get there for about 50 dollars on a return trip. The hotel organised the other trips too, for example, the Safari. Back at the hotel, from the first steps into the reception, the staff were lovely and very helpful, speaking many languages, including English. Happiness and Hussain are so genuinely nice that I immediately fell in love with the place. I came with my teenage daughter and stayed for 11 nights (unfortunately, just 11) in one of the huts. We were over the moon. The room was clean, and the character of the space matched perfectly with the land's beauty. You can see the ocean from the cosy house. Every evening, the mosquito man—another lovely housekeeper, Baboo or Yolanda—would clean and protect our room from mosquitoes. By the way, we never got bitten. The hotel restaurant is just stunning, with modern, rustic decor that blends perfectly with the natural environment. The swimming pool may be small, but it’s sufficient when you have such a massive, stunning white sand beach. The owners—Zue, Keisy, and Meyra—are excellent, well-spoken in many languages, and always very helpful with everything you need. ##### ewa Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Fey Jan 1, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities Absolute ripoff. The room had white hospital lighting, smelled so bad that we couldn’t sleep and didn’t even have a shampoo or anything offered. Nothing about the hotel was to the standards of the price you pay. Stayed in way better boutique hotels in the area for 1/3rd of the price. ##### Fey Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristin Feb 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel grounds, staff, and views are fantastic!

I booked for 11 nights but ended up staying 6 due to multiple issues. Upon arrival, I was told there was a system issue and that another guest with my surname refused to vacate my room. I was moved to a nearby hostel, which was significantly cheaper, but lacked Wi-Fi, phone signal, towels and even water at times. As a solo female traveler, I felt uncomfortable there. Later, I spoke to the other guest, who confirmed she had booked and paid in advance, exposing that the story I was told wasn’t true. Despite having booked and paid in full months ago, I had to argue for a refund for the nights I stayed at the cheaper hostel. Only after arguing did they refund me for 2 nights. Throughout this ordeal, they made several rude comments and even lied at several occasions, which added to my discomfort. This was particularly disappointing, as I’ve been traveling solo for many months and have stayed in numerous hotels without ever experiencing anything like this. I ended up checking out 3 nights early because I felt so uncomfortable. No apology or concern was ever shown until I told them I was checking out earlier. The only bright spot was the fantastic staff at the restaurant and bar—much love to them, as they were the reason I stayed as long as I did. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 11 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicole Feb 11, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Schöne und kleine Anlage direkt am Strand. Wir waren 12 Tage im Hotel und die Zimmer wurden täglich gereinigt und es gab immer neue Strandtücher. Stromausfälle sind ganz normal und kommen fast täglich vor. Das Licht geht aber relativ schnell wieder an. Zum Frühstück gibt es eine Karte mit verschiedenen Variationen, die man sich aussuchen kann. Bei einem längeren Aufenthalt hat man dann aber nicht so viel Abwechslung. Personal überall sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man kann auch vor Ort Ausflüge und Touren buchen. ##### Nicole Stayed 11 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Vibe boa, porém com som e claridade para dormir O local tem um ambiente muito legal, atendimento ótimo. Porém não há televisão nos quartos, há muita claridade e barulho de música pra dormir. A cortina não tem blecaute. O valor da taxa da cidade que me foi passado pelo hotéis.com não conferiu com o valor cobrado pelo hotel e tive que pagar 13 dólares além do que me foi passado pelo hotéis.com. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Benjamin Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Das Hotel liegt in direkter Strandlage und ist wirklich sehr idyllisch gestaltet. Sehr klein und "privat familiär"... Die Bilder im Internet täuschen bezüglich der Größe der Anlage. Der Pool ist ziemlich klein. Zudem täuscht die Bilddokumentation. Man hat den Eindruck, dass in der Anlage auch kleine afrikanische Rundhütten zu finden - bzw. als Upgrade vor Ort buchbar - sind. Das stimmt jedoch nicht. Die Hütten gibt es nicht mehr, gehörten jedoch wohl früher zur Anlage und wurden abgerissen. Es gibt eigentlich nur zwei langgezogene Bungalow-Häuserzeilen (ähnlich einer Reihenhaussiedlung), in denen sich ein Zimmer neben das andere reiht. Eine Häuserzeile scheint ziemlich neu, da sich dort wirklich schön gestaltete und modernisierte/neue Zimmer befinden. Unser Zimmer war älter und in Basic-Ausstattung eingerichtet, das Bad nicht mehr up-to-date, aber funktional (nicht mit Schwung auf die Toilette setzen, sonst kippt sie - Zimmer 10). Alles ist jedoch wirklich sehr sauber. Da man sich ja eh nur draußen aufhält, war das Zimmer für uns eher nebensächlich und schlichtweg "funktional". Es gibt keinen Kühlschrank. Insektenschutz befindet sich in der Schiebetür zum Zimmer, es gibt jedoch kein Moskitonetz über dem Bett. Es gibt einen Ventilator über dem Bett (ziemlich laut) und eine Klimaanlage seitlich vom Bett. Da die Betten nur mit Laken bezogen sind, kann es nachts schonmal etwas "frisch" werden. Abends kommt das Personal nochmal ins Zimmer und deckt das Bett auf... Empfehlenswert. ##### Benjamin Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cecilie Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Fint Godt hotel med rigtig god beliggenhed direkte til vandet - Venligt personale i reception, dog mødte jeg mindre hjælpsomhed i restauranten, hvor jeg havde en ubehagelig oplevelse - Restauranten var ret dyr iforhold til priserne på Zanzibar, men maden var rigtig god - Fine værelser for et mindre ophold. Dejlig seng at sove i. Dejligt med myggenet, Dog ingen aircondition så det var alt for varmt, og upraktisk toilet - De passer godt på dyrene - Stedet var renligt ##### Cecilie Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carina Mar 13, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities #### Skønt sted.

Kort vei til sentrum. OK mat på hotellet og mange andre restauranter i nærhet som også er verdt et besøk. Noe støy fra nabohotellet som kjørte livemusikk og DJ til rundt 02:30 på kveld. Vi hadde bungalow 104 (2etg). Det er palmebladvegger så utelyd høres veldig godt og så du bør ikkje ha museskrekk om du bor slik. Dusj fungerte og betjening slo opp moskitonett over seng kvar kveld. Hotellet har også andre rom med høyrere standard og høyere priser. Personalet var generelt servicevennlige og hyggelige. Må nevne at personen som foretok innsjekking lurte oss ved å kreve 6 usd pr dag i turistskatt. Rett sum skal være 5 usd i Zanzibar. Så vedkommende lurte til seg totalt 8 usd. Ikkje stor sum, men slikt er irriterende og gir hotellet dårligere tilbakemelding. ##### Kjell Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom Jan 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfekter Aufenthalt!
