This hotel, location and holiday will always stay very deep in our memories and hearts. The place is simply paradise, the beach, the ocean, the pool and all around. I have to say that we had very nice, clean and big room with nice terrace. The bed was big and comfortable, fit us very well even with our son. Staff is very friendly and nice. The food in the hotel was truly delicious. This place and hotel is more that recommended

We loved literally everything! The breathtaking view from the balcony, delicious breakfasts (and its variety), tidiness (very clean and comfy), and very friendly and helpful staff. The location is just fantastic - max 5 min walking to the most incredible beach of the island, with restaurants, shops and even ATM around. We will definitely come back!

We ended up staying only one night and they were very kind removing the charge from the second night even though the cancellation period was over. Super clean and comfortable bed and room. We arrived at 4am and the check in was very smooth. They’ve also arranged the taxi with better price than what is offered at the airport. 5min walking to the beach. Next to a market and many shops around. Go here, no doubts 🙃

Amazing staff! They’re the kindest people I’ve ever met! It’s located on really nice beach. I would say it’s the best part of the beach. If you walk few meters on the left, there’s plenty of starfish. Really delicious food in the restaurant. Breakfast was also good, not the same every day and lot of choices. Wouldn’t find any better place. :) We stayed all day after check out before leaving and they let us take a shower in the lobby, provided towels and also beach towels.

    The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

    Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

    In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location.

    In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location. However, there were some issues to address: The breakfast had a good variety of food, but unfortunately, warm items were cold. When I requested my sausages to be reheated, they were returned cold, accompanied by a surprised question about wanting them hot. It would be better if the staff anticipated the preference for warm breakfast items. The bed was so uncomfortable, causing back pain every morning. I tried all sides of mattress, and anyways there was a pit regardless of the position. This might be specific to only my bed, but it needs attention. The restaurant offers good food at reasonable prices, and the waiters speaks good English and are polite ( except trainees) Cleanless! Room was clean and tide, but there were several diferent bugs around, but its Africa, you just need to ask to spray your room for bugs (i asked but they never did) and you need to ask for wc paper and ask for clean towels. Water pression in the shower and hot water was very good. Unfortunately AC didnt wor for last 2 nights. I guess a gas just finished, but noone came to check on it, just excuses about low voltage. Well, when voltage was low even fridge was not working, bet when voltage restored AC and fridge worked excellent. Water got frozen in the fridge in 1h - so thats not a low voltage at all. Despite the issues, I tought I would consider to come back, but after last 2 nights struggles, I doubt about it. Particularly I would suggest a room with a sea view and small private pool, keeping in mind that perfection may not exist in every aspect, especially in a place like Zanzibar.

    The internet is going to tell you Kendwa has the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar....it has not....not at all....yes, the beach is nice and wide and white.....but there is no vegetation at all, it's full of sunbeds and umbrellas from the resorts/hotels....way to many traders and not much to offer than going up and down, only to then retreat to your hotel or some place with shade....if you come here for drinks or a party, fine, but don't waste all of your vacation here, when there are many other cheaper and more beautiful places on the island...

    I had the best time in Kendwa Breeze Bungalows. The staff is incredible, so helpful, kind and willing. The place is very well built, peaceful and silent. Also, if needed, I recommend asking them for Jumbe to drive you around the town. The man is so nice, has a fair price and is extremely punctual. I look forward to coming back to Zanzibar and Kendwa Breeze Bungalows.
