I hate leaving a one star review because yes you should book at the Johari Rotana!! The service here is exceptional and also the amenities are great! They know 5-star❣️ Miraji, Neema, Said, Cyrian and my fave bartenders on 8!! They treated me the best but made my drinks how I like them and now I can’t remember their names, Lol! Eugene and just the entire staff at the Gaston pub is the best!! Sorry I missed names but you all were amazing to me, Asante Sana Now that kibo restaurant manager should be fired cause the staff is amazing but each time I went here the food was stale and against my better judgement I got hungry and ordered in room dining their most expensive dish at the Kibo, their prawn sandwich and it arrived to my room stale, i picked at the dried shrimp and what a regret … it ruined my entire trip in Zanzibar well at least the first 4 days I couldn’t leave my bed… didn’t get to do any tours and being from the states this trip was very costly. It’s also unacceptable since this was the only restaurant opened during this time to offer in room dining… also the hotel was super busy, how was it possible I got spoiled prawns with 5 presidents staying at this hotel during the same time I was there! The Kibo ugh!! Everytime I went there stale food!! I should have complained sooner but the staff is really friendly but Kibo in-room dining almost cost me a hospital visit if it wasn’t for my faith in God!!! So pissed and this is unacceptable to risk guests life like that!!

The property is modern with all the amenities one values during vacation. Several restaurants on site, beautiful rooms, helpful and professional staff, good food options, visually appealing with lovely art work throughout, an infinity pool, and nightly entertainment. The location is across from the port, so the streets are always full of people. Taxis are plentiful and it's easy to get around. There is sometimes a language barrier however. The nearby beach is not for swimming. The closest clean water beach is about an hour away. The surrounding areas were safe but poverty is present. I loved the people, the culture and the hospitality. I would stay at this property again if I return.

My husband and I only stayed at the Johari Rotana for one night which was very unfortunate as we would have loved more time there. We booked a driver to and from the airport through the hotel and he was amazing, despite very challenging driving conditions. Our room was beautiful and the entire hotel is stunning with great African artwork. Check in was quick and staff were great. We really enjoyed our dinner on the gorgeous rooftop with pool lit up and live music. Food was very good, with an extensive menu and attentive service. We left so early morning that we missed the buffet breakfast that was included, but they packed us a breakfast to go. Overall, it was an amazing way to end our trip to East Africa!

What an amazing hotel! Very clean and modern. Our room was spacious. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. There is a wide range of choice for breakfast. For the first time in years I had a swim in a swimming pool and I loved it. Beautiful lobby and amazing art. Which you should see even if you do not stay in this hotel. Just go there to have a drink/meal and enjoy. We checked out in the morning to walk around in the city, but because we had a very late flight we wanted to change our clothing before heading to the airport. We could use the spa dressing room in the evening to change the clothes we wore the whole day. Excellent.
