We really looked forward to staying at the Zanzibar Queen given other reviews. It didnt disappoint. Fantastic location in beautifully kept grounds. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The pool area was clean and enticing. There was also boules, volleyball and badminton available to keep the body exercised. As well as table tennis and darts. The restaurant was superb. Ingredients and dishes were varied and akin to fine dining. Resort felt very private although effectively right on the beach. Rooms well decorated, hot showers and balconies facing the stunning indian ocean. A top recommendation and thanks to all the staff for looking after us so well.

We added a quick stay here before our safari and we wished we had stayed longer at Zanzibar Queen. The pool and grounds were very nice. For the beach they provided water shoes (which are needed) but best to bring your own. The manager was exceptionally nice. We were initially concerned having just one restaurant but the menu was good and we were totally happy. Some meals were not part of our package but additional meals and drinks were reasonably priced so we never felt taken advantage of. We will certainly come back.

This was an absolutely beautiful hotel in the middle of paradise. The grounds were impeccable, the beach was idyllic, the staff were so accommodating and helpful, and the food & drinks were 5-star restaurant-quality. Highly recommend!

Everything with this stay was simply fantastic from we arrived to the end. They have arranged food even we arrived very late and kept the bar open as well, just for us.
As a guest you felt that everybody did the best to make you happyđ
We will be back đŠâïž🦓đčđż

Friendly staff at front desk, but could use more smile and friendly manner at restaurant as well ^&^
When I asked for water, the server told me to get it myself without a smile. A friendly lady manager heard it and brought it for me..^&^
And, clean white beach photos fooled me thinking good to jump.. it wasn't at all cleaned up mixed seaweeds
with trash, had to boat out away from beach to snorkel or swim, away from sea urchins and seaweeds..^&^

We had the villa- it was amazing, thank you for everything. If you have any complaints they do everything to make it up again. Very good service. Clean stay and relaxing environment

Deluxe Apartment Sea Facing- 10/10. Clean. Great size. Quiet. Excellent view. First floor, so avoided noisy neighbours above us. Decent, but small safe. A/C worked well.
Bathroom - 10/10. Clean. Lovely shower.
Bed - 10/10. Very large. Very comfy. Mozzy nets and turn down service at night.
WiFi - 10/10. Very good, considering where we were. Worked fine down by the pool and even worked by the beach!
Pool - 10/10. Good size. Nice and clean laid out pool area, with plenty of loungers and shade. Beach/pool towels provided.
Gym - 8/10. Small, with a âmulti-gymâ and dumbbells. No CV equipment, but room for a workout and some aerobic exercises. Did its job.
Spa - N/a. Didnât use.
Staff - 10/10. From check-in to check-out, all the staff were friendly, attentive and most helpful. Special thanks to Abdul and Fatima in the restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble.
Breakfast/Dinner - 9/10. Stayed half-board and enjoyed it all. Breakfast was standard buffet, with an ok choice, that changed daily. Dinner was a set 3 course meal and on one occasion for Swahili Night, it was a buffet. All of these we felt were very good. Never went hungry!
Hotel - 10/10. Could not fault anything with this hotel. The hotel grounds are magnificent and very well maintained. The peace and tranquility was a complete joy. It is right on a beautiful beach and the sea is lovely.
The appearance/decor/furniture is everything youâd want. Weâd definitely recommend this tropical paradise.

Very nice hotel with a lot of attention to sustainability, you find water everywhere as there are safe water dispenser. Breakfast is very good and you do not need lunch. Dinner is a la carte and with classy style. Size of the hotel is not too big as like a village and you really feel that you are in Zanzibar just by walking on the beach. Everyday a new activity for recreation.

I traveled with my wife during Easter holiday, April, and we had a fabulous time at the Queen Zanzibar Hotel. We booked a garden view room, it was spacious and clean. Staff was super friendly and smiley, from reception to restaurant.
We had half board with dinner included and we did not regret for a second. HB offered a la carte menu with 3 courses and ir was delicious.
The beach in from of the hotel was also good. We definitely recommend Queen Zanzibar!

Fantastic place. I was on a solo trip and the staff made me feel really welcome and even helped me arrange a scooter for the day. The beach is quiet and beautiful. I managed to run in the mornings along the beach which was perfect. I went the the other more popular side and must say that I preferred the more quiet side. The food was fantastic. If youâre anything other than white prepare for the other guests to stare at you like an alien which was annoying but other than that the stay was fantastic.

Perfect place to stay on your holiday in Zanzibar. Easy to book activities and tours. We had a bungalow/suite by the sea. Fantastic area and private. Nice pool area and good food. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Very good diving center close by and dives can be booked at the hotel. Will book again.

Amazing place, surroundings, staff, breakfast and rooms!! Would highly recommend. The staff deserves an extra applause, they were so friendly, helpful, and made our stay perfect. Will definitely come back.

Beachfront property, rooms are removed from beaches but top floor has beach view. Beach is long and beautiful but many sea urchins and low tides makes it not swimmable at all times. Proximity to Mnembe island however means you can go there snorkeling every day. Restaurant is very good. Breakfast buffet is plentiful. Staff meets every need and is very friendly. I was there during low season and it was calm and restful.

Lovely hotel, beautiful breathtaking views and very kind and serviceminded staff. The most kind I ever met in a hotel in Zanzibar. The only problem I have with this hotel is the expensive restaurant. It is double the price of any nice restaurant in Zanzibar and I donât understand it. Its sort of Swedish prices wich is ok but than I would like to know staff also get swedish saleries which I highly doupt the have. I seriously think the restaurant should lower the prices. Beacause it pulls down the impression of the hotel and put a cloud over our stay. Other than that it was amazing. Oh by the way, this area is quiet and guests are too. Nothing party happening in the area and everybofy goes to bed at 9. So if you want some quiet time with breathtaking views and donât mind paying a lot of money for food and drinks than this is the hotel for you.

This was a Solo trip for me and This hotel was by far the best resort Iâve stayed at! Everything was 10s across the board ! The staff are superb and the most respectful group of people. The hotel is designed beautifully , the views are sensational and the comfy vibes naturally balanced throughout the garden and hotel yard is beyond well kept ! The food is also to die for , I enjoyed every meal I had during my entire Holiday!

L'endroit est sympa pour un séjours de tranquillité, mais pas beaucoup d'options et grands choses à faire.
Le personnel peut chaleureux et ne portez pas de masques pour le service (cela était trÚs frustrant) surtout qu'il parle à proximité.
Le service aussi un peu deplorable: au dĂ©jeuner, il y avait des mouches qui s'invitent au buffet et si vous avez besoin d'un thĂ© oĂč vous l'apporte dĂ©jĂ dans une tasse. (Pas trop fan moi).
Sinon, c'est un endroit tranquille moins bouillant et agréable

I worked remotely from the Zanzibar Queen for three weeks, and it was wonderful. The staff is top notch, managament/front desk/housekeeping/restaurant staff/kitchen staff/security/spa staff were all friendly and helpful!!!
The entertainment and yoga on site were nice additions, and really made my stay enjoyable.
The room was quiet and well appointed. Seems like it was recently refreshed.
The food at the restaurant was really good, and the options at the included breakfast were tasty and diverse, and allowed a really nice way to start the day.

This hotel is amazing, the service is really good, the view from the rooms is awesome. We liked everything about it, location, service, food, friendly staff, the only small thing that is probably missing is that there aren't a lot of dining options around it, but it is definitely a perfect place for people who are seeking for a stay with a peace of mind, it is really a quiet place to stay in far from the noisy touristic areas.

Free bikes to use was a nice bonus. Staff was friendly. Place attracts older generation of guests so if you want to be with younger crowd this hotel was full of geriatrics.

They really treated us well here. Staff made us feel at home and were always helpful and cheerful. The Maasai guys they hire to look after the beach were friendly and also helped me dig sea urchin needles out of my foot. The evening meals were festive and had great entertainment every evening, including traditional jumping dances by the Maasai guys who look after the beach. Ordinarily Iâm not a big fan of that type of thing, but this was all fun and casual and didnât feel contrived. The setting is spectacular and they have large gardens that are well tended. We were happy with everything and it was one of our best ever beach trips.

This hotel is a lovely peaceful retreat. The food was excellent, the staff friendly, and the rooms comfortable. They have entertainment provided at dinner time every other night. The only problem we found was that this was very loud, and there is no alternative place to eat if you did not want to watch the entertainment. The volume in the dining room was very loud, and meant we were not able to talk to each other during the meal time, which was a shame as we were on honeymoon!

Highly recommend this place! Excellent staff, excellent food, beautiful place. Great for families. Very reasonable price!

We stayed at the villa and loved it! Itâs the perfect choice for Zanzibar. The beach is very quiet, and beautiful! In the afternoon you can go to swim.
People working there are lovely!

Excellent welcome on arrival from Hawa who took us on a mini tour of the hotel & explained facilities. Stayed 3 nights in this lovely & relaxing hotel; grounds are beautiful, our room was very spacious & clean; buffet breakfast was different each morning with a delicious variety; dinners were exceptional. All the staff were very helpful, friendly & welcoming. I highly reccomrnend Zanzibar Queen & thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Donât be put off by the bumpy road to the hotel.
