5.0 / 5.0
At the tail end of a long trip to East Africa, the Zanzabar Retreat hotel was a GIFT: exceptional hospitality from the owners, Jan and Salome, and from the excellent and thoughtful team… Naima, Lusekelo, Newton, Aisha and Bwite. Great food and many thoughtful touches. Very charming setting and convenient to diving snorkeling and dining options along a magnificent beach.

This was the best little hotel I’ve stayed at in a long time. The food was amazing. Rooms were clean and the staff went above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. They also arranged excursions and taxis me. I’ll be back :)

This was my first hotel in Zanzibar and I would return in heartbeat to stay longer. The aesthetic was relaxing, the owners were present and enjoyable to visit with. The food was DELICIOUS!! It was quiet, peaceful, and comfortable.
The waters are somewhat shallow on the beach in the morning and then rise as the day continues. Be sure and wear water sandals or footwear with a hard sole. There are many prickly urchins around. There are also spots where there are not and it makes for a great area to swim and cool off. The sands are clean and WHITE!
I loved it here and I know you will, too!

5.0 / 5.0
Totally relaxing retreat!
2.5 / 5.0
We had booked this little hotel for six nights, but as soon as we stepped into the veranda/bar/restaurant we felt that we could stay forever...so booked another six nights directly, without even seeing our room. But we did not regret it!. This is a a hotel with all small details that makes you feel at home; for example a beach basket with towels and sun hats in every room. And as a Swedish person I loved the 'fika' every afternoon at 4 o'clock :-)
Finally - the food...was delicious! I don't remember how many times I had the mango/avocado/shrimp salad or the tuna steak.
If you are out for a cosy small hotel (only 14 rooms I think), on a fantastic beach, just book!

This is paradise. The staff are sweet and attentive. The rooms are clean and well equipped. The restaurant serves delicious food and has a great bar and wine selection. The beach is pure joy. I will return!
