"We stayed in the Mercury room. The room was fine. The windows are coloured glass with no window coverings so it gets bright when the sun comes up. The walls are thin so you can hear outside noise but it’s not loud.
Good air conditioning, fan and there was a mosquito net.
There is a sort of mothball smell but that’s likely from bug spray.
Staff were nice and courteous. The breakfast was decent and there was a nice view of the Old Fort.
The hotel is located in a main tourist shopping area."

"Ottima struttura per visitare e godersi la costa est di Zanzibar. Camere essenziali ma confortevoli, pulite e moderne. Staff super, Roberta e i colleghi ti fanno sentire davvero a casa. Il ristorante davvero ottimo sia per le colazioni sia per i pasti. Per chi cerca un’oasi di pace diversa dai classici resort (per vivere l’atmosfera di Zanzibar in modo più autentico) e della buona ospitalità (e cucina) italiana sicuramente è il posto giusto! Super consigliato! "

"Lovely little hotel with individuell rooms and a restaurant bar right at the beach. We had one of the rooms with a spacious balcony, where you have stunning views of the ocean. Pia & Hashim are great hosts who let you feel like home, always friendly and willing to help you with everything. Their cute dog Leo & their cat complete the family. Easy going locals around and with their free bikes or canoes you can explore other areas at the beach. The food & drinks at the restaurant are delicious,...

"The property was very nice and the room was clean. The staff was courteous and the owner was very helpful. The room had no air conditioning and the power went off for about 4 hours in the middle of the night. It was very hot and difficult to sleep. Also the water pressure was barely a trickle making showering almost impossible. "

"Because we were only stopping for 2 nights we weren't too particular as to the room so chose the cheapest option but in retrospect we should have picked one next to the pool. We were in an annexe a 20meters away and it was a small room, though it did provide an effective ac unit, tea and coffee facilities, hit shower, clean towels both days, mosquito net, and it was clean and well presented. The main rooms surround the pool and are better proportioned.
The owner and the staff are very pleasant...

"The villa is beautifully arranged and has a somewhat jungle-like ambiance. The room, styled in an African theme, was tidy. The staff proved to be exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering advice on places to visit and assisting with taxi arrangements. Breakfast includes fruits, eggs, and coffee. The location is convenient as well. I would highly recommend this place."

Top Zanzibar Hotel Reviews

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar
10/10 Excellent
"I took my two Boys at the end of July and we flew directly to the Island of Zanzibar from Dubai . This hotel must be the best Hotel on the Island the rooms are lovely the staff are excellent , the food is fantastic , the evening music events are incredible , the Hotel beach section is awesome and the grounds of the hotel are so beautiful and enormous . This has been one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in around the world and it was a good location for me to book my boys on an African Safari flying to Serengeti then NgoroNgoro crater"

Kendwa Rocks Beach Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"This was a great place as a single woman traveling solo. The beaches are beautiful, though if you want a quiet swim go earlier in the day! The food was great and there are plenty of activities during the week. I would definitely stay here again!"

JAZ Amaluna - Adults Only 16+
10/10 Excellent
"Not one complaint 10/10 everyone was nice the food was amazing great shows we loved it so much we had to stay and extra day and we were so mad we had to leave will definitely be coming back !!!!!!!!!!"

Tembo Kiwengwa Resort
8/10 Good
"I don't really stay in resorts so I don't have much to compare. The grounds, facilities and rooms were immaculate and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The view from my room was stunning and the beach was also immaculate. Some things did come up that made my stay a little less enjoyable. This is an alcohol free resort, this was my fault for not realizing but there were restaurants nearby that served alcohol We left our previous hotel to catch a flight to Zanzibar at 4am. We arrived at the hotel starving. Unfortunately it was in between breakfast and lunch so no food options. We were advised that there were restaurants that serve all day which was not the case for us. We went door to door and were told 12:30. We finally found one and it took 1 hr and 15 minutes for our food which was past 12:30! We would have been fine with a premade sandwich Other minor things, we could not have 2 keys for our room so my friend and I couldn't really do our own thing without one of us being locked out. It also would have been helpful to have an ATM nearby. We wanted to leave tips but ran of of cash"

Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The food was decent. The quality itself didn’t feel amazing. I think they missed chances for excellent dining such as carving tables or omelet station. They could’ve had more selection and it was difficult to get into the restaurants. The hotel itself is newer very clean and well-maintained especially coming from Stonetown. It’s perfectly nice for a Westerner. I wish there was more entertainment. There was some nights that there was basically no entertainment and there’s not a lot of amenities for entertainment such as multiple pool tables or club, etc. The overall vibe was laid back. The beach itself was nice with plenty of options for guests and multiple pools. There were a few kids and mainly travelers from Europe and South Africa. I thought security would stop local vendors from hounding you but they didn’t. Overall I didn’t regret my stay but I might look elsewhere next time."

Amaan Beach Bungalows
10/10 Excellent
"Great location right on the water. Very well priced for a great experience in Nungwi. Nothing bad to say about the place. Beds are pretty firm, but thsts pretty standard for Zanzibar and most Southern African places (that are not 5 stars and super expensive). Would definitely come back again"
