Highly recommended! ##### Aboodi Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kai Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Our time as a couple was perfect there. Beautiful and big suites with enough room to have your own comfort zone. This was by far one of the cleanest hotels we stayed in. People at the 24/7 reception are very friendly and always eager to help you. The people at the pool, the restaurant and room services are very polite and forthcoming. We stayed for 2 weeks and at some point it felt like a family. Within those two weeks we sang multiple times "Happy Birthday" with the whole group (even the chefs). They tend to clean the rooms every single day which was a bit too much for us. We prefer every other day but I guess they thrive for that cleanliness. Might not be the best for the environment but its worthy to mention that they operate on solar and also have their own small herb bed. The gym was not the biggest and best equipped but for a hotel gym still very good. The beach is half a mile away. They offer to escort you anytime you request, but its still a 5-10 minute walk. They offer many cool activities such as Monday-Morning Yoga, everyday Spa or Sunday Night Grill with Live Music. Breakfast was included and very delicious. They offer many variants of sweet and hearty food. However, I did not like the coffee there. Having a Barista would make this place top notch. Still, pool menu and lunch/dinner menu is very delicious yet a bit small in options. Sometimes the people at the restaurant forgot a few things of our orders but were swift in making it up after letting them know. ##### Kai Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dieudonne Nov 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Food, Great Vibes, and Great Hospitality Me and my girlfriend spent time in Zanzibar to celebrate our birthdays. I found Samawa Living as I looking for a nice Place to stay for the week. Booking our room was straightforward and they even supporting with transportation from the Airport and back, which will cost a fee since it is an hour away. Upon checking we were greeted by the host that evening and shown our beautiful room. Also the food was amazing as well. Please not that this a Muslim country for the most part and the don't eat pork. Which was fine but please make sure you try the Beef Bacon. Lastly I would recommend taking advantage of the amenities. my lady and I got a massage that was so amazing and I also spent time in the mini Gym getting some workouts in as well the ice bath. Overall we had a wonderful stay. ##### Dieudonne Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Firas Jun 24, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel staff are very rude. They keep asking me to pay for 1 night which I already paid at Expedia and they just charged the receipt and want to take extra money. At check out after i ignored them they ask me to pay for police, just they are very bad service ##### Firas Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lia Oct 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is new, opened 2 months ago, everything was clean and they have an awesome garden in the front, some beautiful plants inside and a great pool with comfortable sunbeds. The room was excellent, beautiful decorated, great bed, huge shower with a lot of water but water is only a little warm to cold, wished I could get it a bit warmer. They have high quality products from Inaya and a nice soap from seaweed which I loved. They prepare your room for the night and served a tea with some fresh leaves, we just had to put hot water, we loved the idea but they should give mores leaves, we did not drink it as after 10 min it still only tasted as hot water. About the food, breakfast was okay, there are a lot of options with eggs and a few other options, each of us had one avocado toast, then we shared one banana bread(like a cake) and one fruit plate. We asked for one bowl with yogurt, but for us it was not available, only for other guests, was a bit strange. Did we already order too much? Dinner was ok. We ordered the ceviche but the fish did not have ceviche quality. The Bowl with tuna was great and high quality, portion could be a little bigger but eventhough I would recommend it. We also had the shrimps but for me they were too spicy. The Beach Service with the Jeep worked very good, the driver is very helpful and friendly. It is near the Beach but we would not want to walk the Street as a Tourist, there are some men hanging up there and it is an isolated Street. ##### Lia ### 6/10 Okay #### Ndifanji Oct 24, 2024 It’s a new hotel so the infrastructure is beautiful. It has no beach views but they arrange free buggy to the beach every day. I had made a booking for 2 but my little sister was an additional to the trip. We asked to pay an extra charge for her. We were told we should pay for an entire new room. We asked to pay for an additional mattress they said nope. “Very inflexible people” . I paid a lot extra for a 2 bedroom apartment. With a small single bed in one of the rooms and a double in another. I wouldn’t recommend this option for an adult. The bed is literally a “single” bed . This apartment had 2 bathrooms . 1st night 1 shower had cold water and and in the morning 1 toilet blocked 😏. We engaged house keeping which was responsive and helpful and in the morning within minutes of reporting a plumber came to sort this out. Unfortunately the plumbing issues left the apartment with a foul smell all night . This too I reported. They said they could send a plumber , that was like around 9pm. We were tired and we slept through it but appreciated their willingness to send a plumber. We slept through the foul smell . It’s a new hotel but they have some plumbing issues they need to resolve. The restaurant food was great , enjoyed each bite 5/5\. I would recommend their restaurant even if you just a day visitor and the restaurant staff amazing. Housekeeping staff 0/5\. Unfortunately no matter how beautiful a place is , it’s the bad treatment guests remember. Overall 3/5 ##### Ndifanji Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### morten Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice !

Situé près de la plage avec une navette gratuite, l'emplacement est parfait. Les chambres sont luxueuses et bien décorées. La nourriture était délicieuse, et les installations de bien-être étaient impressionnantes : salle de sport bien équipée, bain de glace, cours de yoga et de kickboxing. En résumé, l'Hôtel Samawa est idéal pour une retraite à la plage avec un excellent service, de la bonne nourriture et des activités de bien-être. Hautement recommandé ! ##### Elias Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luciana Aug 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Struttura nuovissima, servizi eccellenti e comfort di ogni tipo.
