Il resort piccolino ma molto curato e molto bello, una chicca, tranquillo e caratteristico. Peccato non è direttamente sulla spiaggia. Camere spaziosissime e comode. Molto bello.
Una pecca... la corrente elettrica, durante la giornata si spegneva più volte. Nella mia camera ho avuto una notte intera senza condizionatore ! (Non ha mai funzionato benissimo per tutto il mio soggiorno li) un incubo visto il caldo che c'è.
Altra cosa le ragazze in reception poco disponibili (quasi seccate) a comprendere e a farsi comprendere per chi non sa l'inglese, considerando che su tutto il web il resort si pubblicizza che parlano anche italiano. Nessuno lo sapeva, tranne un pochino Amy molto carina e disponibile.
Tutto il resto dello staff molto socievole.
Colazione un po scarsa.

Sødt og dygtigt personale. Smukt sted, god service, god restaurant. Poolområdet var dejligt.
Der var stor forskel på værelseskvaliteten. Lidt stor afstand til stranden.
4.1
Litet mysigt boende, fint poolområde. Vi fick ett rum med egen jacuzzi utanför. Spa, god frukost, trevlig personal. Man fick tillgång till Kendwa Rocks solstolar, poolområde och strand som låg 5 minuter bort.
4.1
The location is not on the beach but close to it so it’s only a few mins walk. Beach chairs and the other beach facilities are included (private and shared with Kendwa Rocks - there’s a restaurant, bar, pool etc on the beach itself). The breakfast was overall very good and plentiful, you just have to order it from the menu.
Where do I start! Despite mentioning when booking that it was our honeymoon, we got what seemed to be a rather poor setup and nothing additional. The service was appalling, with mostly only a receptionist present who had no decision making power so every request took multiple asks, a lot of stress and a lot of time. They also tend to lie and present random almost funny reasons why something is not possible. ‘Apartment with terrace’ had only some wooden furniture on the terrace when all other rooms had soft couches or armchairs. A couch was eventually added only after multiple complaints. AC was leaking and randomly turning off, and same story, they ‘fixed’ it by making it worse until it stopped working entirely and eventually moved us to another room on the 3rd day so we got only one night’s good sleep. The pool is super shallow and impossible to swim. And coffee comes with an additional charge despite an already overpriced room! Never ever stay again in this place, and wouldn’t wish it to anyone!
4.1
The villa was beautiful and very nice to stay in. It was clean and the location was great. Loved the amount of sunbeds around the pool as well.
To access the beach you go through the gate of Kendwa Rocks and from there it’s just a short walk to the beach. Because it’s only for guests it felt very safe walking there at night.
Also shoutout to Queen who gave me a very good and relaxing massage (full body scrub & massage). My body never felt so soft and it was a great way to completely relax.
The breakfast is only from 8-10am, so that’s not the biggest time frame. Also, i wanted to do laundry but it was very expensive (24$ for like some pieces of underwear/socks/tshirt/shorts

Location, relativly close to the beach
Watch out for Bedbugs. Breakfast was old, they use same left overs every day. When i confront the lady she got mad. My husband got sick. Bread was old. Room was humid. Staff has dementia . They forget things everything , like arrange taxi or an order.
4.1
A very well organized hotel with very friendly and helpful staff, cozy decorated and wonderful facilities. Definitely worth it and recommended for everyone visiting Kendwa, and Zanzibar overall, aiming for a peaceful and chilled vacations!
As my room was at the last block of apartments, there was always an issue with the WIFI connection. Signal was very bad and internet connection had ups and downs all the time. However, this is an issue that can be solved easily and I am pretty sure that the hotel's management will take care of that the sooonest.
4.1
Proximity to beach and arrangement with kendwa rocks for facilities. Staff were so kind and food in restaurant was superb.
Bed was hard and short. Room was quite noisy. Swimming pool was having works.
4.1
Great pool, great restaurant, friendly staff, nice location away from the crowds on the beach, but still a very short walk to the beach.

A Wonderful Stay at Natural Kendwa
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Natural Kendwa Villas during our visit to Zanzibar. I must say, our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I cannot recommend this hotel enough!
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality. The hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was comfortable and memorable. They were incredibly helpful, providing valuable insights about the area and suggesting fantastic local activities to partake in.
The rooms at Natural Kendwa were spacious, elegantly designed, and clean.
One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the dining experience. The hotel's on-site restaurant boasted a diverse menu featuring a fusion of local and international cuisine. We indulged in a wide array of mouth-watering dishes that were expertly prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.They also served us with a delicious local dinner, cooked by the chef.
The hotel's swimming pool was also a pleasant surprise. It porvides a relaxing and home like feeling.
The location of Natural Kendwa was another major advantage. Situated a couple of meters from the beach and some local shops around the area.
Finally, I must commend the hotel's commitment to cleanliness and safety.
Thanks again to Ummieh and staff for making our stay a pleasant experience

Great location for an excellent beach and a lovely hotel, and the staff were amazing
4.1
It's a very nice villa near Kendwa beach. The rooms are spacious, the pool is nice. But the staff is maybe the best we had. From Clive at the reception, Amina, Queen, Monica, Ami...They made our vacation special, even though the weather wasn't so great. You will feel like home at this villa - for sure...Warm recommendation if you go to Kendwa!
4.1
The staffs are very friendly and their service is impressive. I like the room as it is really spacious and clean. Umi was very helpful and I can see that she is really servicing their guests from the heart. Everyone is really helpful and really friendly - thank you! They also let us leave our things after our checkout and let us take shower even after our long day outside. Clive and Suleyman are also helpful and informative.
The location is far from the beach.
4.1
We stayed here for 10 days and it was extraordinary. If you are looking for a quiet romantic place with a great garden this is the location for you. The rooms have authentic furniture and with a great comfortable queen size bed. AC in the room as well. The bathroom is basic but very clean. The personnel is very friendly and welcoming ... Amina from the reception is an angel. We fully recommend the African massage with Queen .. she will wake up all your muscles in your body 🥰. Special thanks to Ali from the restaurant very friendly and funny guy ... the food is amazing so "chapeau to the chef" . As a guest of Natural Villa you make use of all facilities from Kendwa Rocks Hotel (only 3 to 5 min walk) with the best beach in Zanzibar ... you can swim all day long, plenty of sun beds, soft sand and tuquoise water of course. Natural Villa alos offers beach towels everyday so no need to carry those with you. The parties at Kendwa Rocks are also a must. For the divers we fully recommend Zanzibar Watersports.
All in all Natural Villa Kendwa is the best location for couples who want to enjoy romantic and quiet evenings with great food and surrounded by amazing people. 👏 you made our vacation unforgatable.

nothing
terrible stay, we do not recommend!
we booked the hotel for 4 days, the photos of the room looked good, but after arrival it turned out that they differ from reality. the room smelled incredibly musty, after one day all my clothes smelled. in the bathroom there was a mold and generally dirty. There were dirty stains on the sheets, the walls were scuffed up, big spiders were everywhere. in addition, it was terribly dark, like in a basement The rooms have such doors that you can hear everything outside.
We arrived very late, on the second day we asked for a change of room, the gentleman at the reception said that they do not have other rooms. then we asked if they could refund some of our money and we would go to another hotel the next few days. the answer was not positive.
therefore we packed our bags and moved to another clean hotel. While we leaving the receptionist said that we have to return the key, but we did not understand why, because we paid for 4 days.
Now the comedy begins.
the next day the police came to our new hotel and ask why we took the keys. we explained that that we have paid and we will return the keys on Friday, i.e. until the day on which we have paid.
We handed over the keys on Friday.
this is definitely not a hotel at the level it is labeled here!
our mistake that we booked for 4 days.
4.1
Very nice property and very friendly and helpful staff. The food at the restaurant was amazing!
Close to a gorgeous private beach to which you get access (4-5min walk)
nothing not to like
4.1
The hotel is located in the street right behind the great 5 stars resorts, 5 min walking to the beach. The rooms are very spacious, with very comfortable beds, safe to keep your belongings, AC working perfectly and good water pressure in the shower. The swimming pool is nice. The breakfast is simple but good. The two young ladies at the breakfast room/restaurant were the highlight of this hotel: Monica and Umi! Sweet, helpful, smiling, very kind! ❤️❤️ You made our good memories of this hotel!
At check-in, we were "welcomed" by someone not friendly. Too serious, with zero patience for new guests. As I work in the Tourism industry, I told this person that smiling when welcoming guests is very important. In general the staff here were too serious and a bit cold. They solved the issues we had during our stay, but we never felt welcomed (we stayed in other hotels in Zanzibar before coming to Kendwa, so we know the Zanzibarians are friendly and welcoming). To go to the beach, they will give you a bracelet that gives you access to the "Kendwa Rocks" Resort, where you can use the sunbeds for free. All the world will be at this resort! :(( All the sunbeds are close to each other and you have zero privacy... a group of young French people (in their 20s) brought a loudspeaker, and played their annoying music, not giving a damn about the other clients... and the staff wouldn't say anything. Uff! What an experience! :( We ended up leaving the "Natural Kendwa Villa" 3 days earlier (losing the money we paid for the whole stay) and went back to Paje, much more peaceful, and where we felt at home. If you can afford to pay a little bit more, choose another hotel, where you will have privacy, and a better service.

4.1
Well managed, very friendly stuff, spacious and clean rooms, nice pool. Nearby Kendwa Beach is the best choice on Sansibar.
Not located directly at the beach, a few minutes of walking is required. Occasionally, there were some noisy generators working nearby in another hotel.
4.1
Everything was great, food is very delicious and tasty, spa is excellent, beach is private (shared with Kendwa rock hotel) and very clean, 2 min walk from the hotel. Swiming pool and area around pool is also very nice. People who work in hotel are very nice and kind and I would specially like to thank to Umi, Moana and Monika.

We had a very warm hospitality from all the staff.
4.1
good breakfast, lovely staff, clean rooms, 100m to the beach.
noise. you can barely sleep after sunrise as crows does not stop singing and this continues till midnight.
do not get fooled by "private beach" words because there is no such a thing, you will be using "the rocks hotel" beach for free.
and the hotel is unnecessarily expensive.
4.1
The hotel offers access to one of the best beaches in the whole of Zanzibar island. Very clean rooms and exceptional hospitality. Thank you guys for making our stay so comfortable. A special thanks to Queen, Ummy and Monika. Love you guys 😘

Staff were warm and excellent.
power was out for 16 hours, no offer of discount or help to move to different hotel. no WI-FI in room (Nzuri), A/C needed service, quite expensive for not being beachside.
4.1
The staff were the real highlight! Super friendly and helpful, they all were so pleasant to deal with and assisted us in booking extra tours etc. The rooms are spacious and have all necessary amenities (air con, wifi, good showers, comfortable). The hotel is a short walk to a beautiful beach with access to private lounge chairs. The on-site facilities of the pool, spa and restaurant were great.
Everything was great!
