There are other better and cheaper hotel on the island

It is a beautiful location and hotel, but it’s also very expensive for what you get, the sea was very rough so you couldn’t go down and swim on the beach,

There was no buffett breakfast, but you could order several dishes that was nice, as each dish was quite small, We still felt that the hotel was very overpriced compared to other places we’ve stayed at, and the staff, although polite, didn’t come across very friendly nor approachable and helpful unfortunately,

I loved staying at The Zanzibari. The garden, the food and its staff are superb!

Beautiful garden and proximity to beach. Amazing view!

Rooms. Uncomfortable pillows and shower water was either boiling or cold. Staff did not refill soap unless we ask and we see it was missing when we started showering. There was no conditioner, which is super necessary for women with long hair.

Ein nettes Hotel mit sehr netten Personal.

Die liegen waren sehr gemütlich und es war besonders ruhig, tagsüber aber auch am Abend. Wer Ruhe sucht, findet sie hier. Das Frühstück war toll und auch das Lunch hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Personal wie überall auf Sansibar sehr nett.

Nicht gefallen wäre gelogen, alles war okay. Jedoch war es die schwächste Unterkunft die wir bisher hatten. Von der Ausstattung sehr simpel. Und der Service zwar Ultra lieb aber auch sehr langsam und gemütlich.

Disappointed. Expected much better for the price.

Overlooking a beautiful beach - fell asleep with the waves in my ears and soul!

Miscommunication from the start - no extra bed for my daughter, door was not locking, didn’t sleep the first night because of very loud music noise next door, often had to specifically ask for items that were supposed to be included on the menu, and then finally there was a major miscommunication re an extra night I was charged for, which I understood was included in my overall package. But I was charged an extra large amount on top of an already high invoice for a place I don’t really think is worth the price tag! Sadly. The staff are so lovely that I feel bad complaining, but I was left with a bad taste…

Really beautiful place in the north of the island. super friendly staff (thank you Trida, Samuel, Tino, Selim and the rest of all!!). Excellent food (international/ european with Zanzibari spice). Nungwi is a beautiful place with a good mix between local tradition and tourism. perfect dive place too.

In total, very disappointing and not worth the money. Not what we expected for a 4star hotel.

The garden was really nice and specific staff members have been very welcoming and friendly

Some of the staff members were very inattentive and unfriendly and bored. Pretty unprofessional. We sometimes didn’t felt welcomed The room was not cleaned well and it was smelling bad

It was so so relaxing! loved the property and the pool and the food was decent. I had. great time and the staff were rea

The pool was lovely and the views of the ocean are amazing!

There were no small face towels in the rooms which is a bit odd. The area has terrible roads but that’s the whole of Nungwi so not much to do about that. it just makes the trips much longer than they need to be. the hotels should consider fixing even their own Avenue. the garden in the front needs more maintenance- it looks super rough.

They were so nice. The hotel has a beautiful garden and pool, everything looks really good. We stayed in one of the rooms on the first floor with a terrace / balcony and had air conditioning. The rooms were very comfortable. They make up the rooms every day and have put lovely flowers and towel figures on our bed for honeymoon. In the evening they also put down the mosquito net in the room and spray mosquito repellent. You get more than enough towels! The breakfast is standard zanzibari but enough and with a good service. For our honeymoon they made a candlelight dinner and a maasai show under the stars, it was so beautiful, we were overwhelmed! Really great!

That we had do leave.

lovely location and beautiful resort - hopefully they will serve some local food soon!

We came here for our honeymoon and had a lovely time- it is a beautiful location, nice and quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Nungwi’s main town. At low tide you can access the beach here and walk to Nungwi. the staff were lovely and the room was wonderfully clean and fresh. Breakfast was made fresh and had a great variety. it’s about a 30 minute walk into town (or a taxi of about 10 minutes). The pool and beach facilities were great.

The menus for lunch and dinner had no local food on which was very disappointing (the food was great but all pizzas / pasta / sandwiches). We were also asked to eat there one night as they’d prepare a nice table for our honeymoon- however we were just at a normal table (which was fine but we would have gone into town if we’d known for local view / better view of the sunset!) so that was a little disappointing

Basic and nice hotel, great views and lovely staff but they should tone down the loud music!

the staff are amazing! So friendly and helpful. the beach is lovely and the view is incredible. they were helpful arranging tours.

The menu was very basic and the food was dissatisfying. there are no phones in the rooms. Most annoying was the volume of the music in the evenings, the pool bar would play very loud music one night rap music! which you can hear the base thumping in your room. I didn’t expect that from a relaxing boutique hotel. Every evening from 6pm I could hear the music on my room until late. I ended up checking out early for that reason alone.

Superb

We loved the accommodation, it was on the ground floor but facing the pool and the sea and very refreshing. The beds were cutely done up with towel animals decorated with flowers and it was such a cute touch! The pool, restaurant area and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The staff is friendly and cooperative.

Maybe a shade or two on the beach? But since the tide comes in in the evening it probably isn't a good idea. Also, methods of conveyance to other parts of Zanzibar like cabs or shuttles would help.

Lovely little hotel but away from the main part of Nungwi

The food was really good, unlike some other places in Nungwi. Large grounds. Comfortable and clean rooms, if a little dated. Great staff - organised great trips and liaised with other tour guides on our behalf. Quiet.

This part of Nungwi is out of the main area of Nungwi. It’s about a 30/40 minute walk along the beach or through the town to the main area with restaurants and bars. This part of the beach isn’t the best - it can be quite rough and because it’s tidal there’s only a few windows of the day to swim. The beach totally disappears during high tide.

Great small hotel with the nicest staff in town.

The hotel is in reality even nicer than the pictures, it really feels like you enter paradise with a nice tropical garden, a great pool and the private beach. The staff is extremely friendly and made our stay unforgettable. Nice food in the hotel restaurant at fair prices, and a massage from heaven...

The hotel is located somewhat further from nungwi center, and with the tides it was not always easy to walk to nungwi. The road towards the hotel is in a very bad state and makes the trip to the centre longer then it should be. A toilet next to the pool in the bar building would have made the accomodation perfect.

Pleasant

It was clean and the rooms and bathrooms were spacious.

At night the rooms were swamped by a billion bugs, ants everything. It was an adventure to kill the bugs in order to sleep after a long day. Really inconvenient and annoying to say the least. At the end of it my bathroom looked like a murder scene.
