Double A Nungwi Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is on the beach it has a beautiful view. The staffs are great they have amazing hospitality. The breakfast has very little options. The restaurant food is good."

Essque Zalu Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in Zanzibar !! Wonderful rooms and villas, delicious food (breakfast and dinner), fresh fruit and freshly made meals. Quiet environment, lovely swimming pool and friendly staff. Hotel is clean, very well located and installations are beautiful (very authentic). We just loved our time there !!"

Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The food was decent. The quality itself didn’t feel amazing. I think they missed chances for excellent dining such as carving tables or omelet station. They could’ve had more selection and it was difficult to get into the restaurants. The hotel itself is newer very clean and well-maintained especially coming from Stonetown. It’s perfectly nice for a Westerner. I wish there was more entertainment. There was some nights that there was basically no entertainment and there’s not a lot of amenities for entertainment such as multiple pool tables or club, etc. The overall vibe was laid back. The beach itself was nice with plenty of options for guests and multiple pools. There were a few kids and mainly travelers from Europe and South Africa. I thought security would stop local vendors from hounding you but they didn’t. Overall I didn’t regret my stay but I might look elsewhere next time."

Uhuru Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was an amazing experience thanks to the lovely stuff, including -- but not limited to -- the owner Mo, Mwana, Chelsea, and Regina. They provided top-notch service with a smile and made me feel part of the family. I also loved the upper deck, where we could grab a bite, just chill or watch the FiFA World Cup. A truly unforgettable experience. I'll be back!🙂"

The Zanzibari

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions we had. The ocean view was absolutely beautiful and made our stay even more relaxing. We also enjoyed spending time at the pool, which was clean and well-kept. Overall, this was a lovely place to stay, and we would definitely recommend it to other travelers looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation."

Aluna Beach Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"The staff here were so kind and accommodating!! Saadia and Julia were so friendly! We had to check in really late and they helped us arrange transportation from the airport and someone was there to let us into our room. We were just steps away from the beach and could easily access multiple restaurants. I would definitely recommend staying here!!"

My Blue Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"
