Small size hotel with very friendly staff. We also enjoyed the pool.

It's a place like being in paradise. Quiet, very beautiful and yet in the middle of wild nature. The breakfast was good and you could enjoy it for a long time in silence. Beautiful!

We had a great time at Kiganja. Georgia is a great host and ready to help with info about anything in zanzibar. We had dinner there every night and it was delicious, breakfat was also great, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!

I recommend 100%. it is quiet, peaceful, from the moment you enter, you feel good.

I liked everything, just keep in mind that Mattemwe is quite so the hotel is perfect to chill there but the beach is not the best one. we went there 2 days just to relax and it was perfect (even 1 or 2 more would have been nice there)

We toured the whole island of Unguja, and stayed in many similar small residences/hotels. This one is definitely the best one: the location is right by the beach, in a quiet location, perfect for relaxing. The rooms are comfortable and full of hotel-like small touches: all the information you need is available in your room, kettle for coffee and tea, a stocked bar fridge that works, brand new mosquito net. They seem small details but similar priced and more expensive accommodations in Zanzibar often have small defects or less features. The breakast is delicious, slightly different than most, with more sweet pastries or cakes combined with the usual zanzibari fruit. The owners have done a superb job and also helped me to recharge the dead battery of my rental car.

Nothing

The rooms are very clean and property is beautiful. The manager and staff are very accommodating to your requests and go the extra mile. Good breakfast and calm atmosphere. Located away from the hustle and bustle.

The room was really great with balcony surrounded by plants where we could rest privately. The pool and pool area was so great, we felt so relaxed in this beautiful surrounding. The breakfasts were delicious. The owner was super helpful - thank you for making our stay so great! ;)

staff

Goergia is helping on everything. The staff is really nice and so patient with kids ( we have 4 boys) , the size of the hotel is great, there is such a relaxing and nice atmosphere in this hotel and the food is really good, we had 3 great days deconnected and relaxed in Matenwe and especially in Kijanga... feel at home, and the ambiance between the customers was also great ! the room as perfect size with a fridge which is good when you buy fruits. The balcony is really cute too Nothing to complain about in this hotel Vanessa

Great location, very friendly owner. Nice pool and outdoor place.

Not so friendly staff, empty pancakes for dinner, small rooms.

Everything at Kiganja was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. Rooms are comfy, clean and spacious. Breakfast is very generous and it easily fulls you up till late afternoon. We didn't need lunch services, but we ate there our dinner every evening - the food is delicious and prices are comparable to other restaurants. A'la carte or special daily menues, everything was very tasty. The host, Georgia, is so friendly and helpful, she was always going one step further with our kids and they loved playing in the sand around the pool. Pool area is like an oasis, full of plants and trees, offering shaddow from the sun - defenetely more green that on the pictures and also the dining area has much more character than shown on booking.com. We loved any minute of our stay.

cleanliness, friendliness, clientelle, food

No sea view

great place with easy access to the beach ( 40 seconds walk) great comfortable and clean rooms, excellent place to relax with very good breakfast provided. the Italian family running the place were so helpful and it was a pleasure to stay in this place.

I’ve been in a few hotels in Zanzibar, more expensive then this one and I can tell you by far that this is the best one we’ve stayed in. So quiet, relaxing, not too many rooms, not too many people. You have the beach to yourself 30 seconds away. The food was also delicious.

really nothing to complain about

Everything was amazing..i can recommend it. The best place where i have ever been.

A wonderful, quiet resort that is perfect for relaxing. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful! Thank you. The beach is a very short walk away.

Everything was great! There were some plumbing issues, but they were sorted out as soon as possible! Thank you.

bit of paradise, awesome dinners

Nice quiet place, really close to a long beautiful beach where you could see the kids playing in the afternoon and the local people catching fish in their nets.

Hard to find cheap local food.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at Kiganja. Clean rooms, epic poolside view amd the breakfast was deliciousness! Totally recommend 👌🏾

One of the kitchen staff came to me as we were having breakfast asking if I already made our room pay. I mean how could I possibly spend a night without paying? He really made me upset and he was sort of racist thinking that blacks ain’t supposed to be in such places. Like seriously??? This really threw me off! Otherwise the owners were really friendly and nice.

Cute place. If you like small hotels, where there is peace and calmness, this is it. Very nice owners, great staff, amazing cook, clan pool. Maybe not easy to find, but just call them and they will give you directions. I do recommend the place.

Hotel was great, no minuses at all, maybe only the beach is not the best, best ... Good thing is that is not crowded, but a lot of 'sea grass' on the beach and when you go to water.

The host are really nice and the food was also really good. Not in a busy beach, so not a lot of people trying to sell souvenirs. A great place to rest without much entertainment to offer nearby except for the beach.

Beautiful small hotel with great owners and super helpfull staff. I wish to go back some day :)

Quiet small boutique hotel with nice swimming pool in nice quiet location. Wonderful friendly owners. Good breakfast. Very clean.

May be surprise for someone but what was really the problem for me it was lack of proper light in the evening to read. I like to read books on vacations and it was almost impossible in the room at the evening and completely impossible on the balcony. I would also like to have some more comfy chairs on the balcony.
