Sharazād Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was such a beautiful stay that we changed our holiday and came back for another four nights. Just a perfect luxury stay. Immaculate pools and grounds and fresh organic food. Special thank you to Gutaz and Samuel for the beautiful service during our meals. And Elliott for the great drinks You made our trip even more amazing !"

Jabali Bungalows Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Incredibly welcoming and helpful staff. Anything I needed was attended to and the staff were accommodating to my schedule and timetable. I felt they went above and beyond to please me. It was appreciated. The location is great, away from the chaos of Paje but still keeping that accessible and close to Jambiani. The beach is a stone’s throw away and absolutely stunning. Thanks guys!"

Passion Boutique Hotel Zanzibar - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Firstly, I cannot praise Madalina the hotel manager enough. She is an absolute asset to the hotel with the best management skills I have come across in my many years of travel around the world. Very attentive, always making sure you are happy and have everything you could possibly need without feeling intrusive. The hotel aesthetics are beautiful and the property is extremely well maintained with staff always making sure there are high levels of cleanliness. Wonderful food (thanks to the great chefs) with a daily lunch and dinner specials board along with their standard menu, so, you will never get bored. The breakfast is very tasty with a wide selection of options for all. You are also able to order more than 1 item if you are feeling extra hungry. The waiting staff are lovely and friendly, service with a huge smile. We booked transfers to various attractions and airport transfers. The company used by the hotel made us feel safe and the drivers very friendly. The hotel is right on the beach, with a beautiful sandbank which you can walk to about 1 km out at low tide. If you are looking for a relaxed, low key stay. This boutique hotel and the Jambiani area is for you. I hope this little bit of paradise remains that way for many more years to come."

Villa Bluu

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was perfect. We wanted somewhere quiet where we could relax and enjoy the sun on our last days in Zanzibar and Villa Bluu delivered that and more!

The staff were all helpful, special thanks to Wada ( always interacting with all guests and always smiling), Joshua, Kevin can't thanks you all enough for making our stay more than amazing. The staff danced for me on my birthday and gave me a suprise cake. Even though it rained they still danced out in the rain. Made my day so so amazing and special. Thank you again. The accommodation was clean and located in a good and wonderful are. Close to local shops and then getting the free shuttle to the sister hotel was lovely. Many Thanks to you all."

Blue Reef Sport and Fishing Lodge & Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Relaxed beyond words during our stay @ Blue Reef. This place is a vibe…chill. Luxuries abound in our rooms (we stayed in the apartment). So much space for our family of 4 to really spread out and regroup after a week of safari in northern Tanzania. Snorkeling right from the hotel was perfect for the kids. The breakfasts were spot on for everyone in our group of picky eaters to find their favorites…GREAT COFFEE!!! The staff is laid back and welcoming while also taking care of business. We’ll be back!"
