The location was perfect right at the front of a beautiful beach. Enterance thru a local village, safe, friendly and even having facilities like supermarket and nearby restaurants. Offering full of fruits, egs, local tastes and good coffee open buffet breakfast. Incredibly kind smiling and respectful staff. Many thanks to host manager Paul, massai Mateo and restaurant staff Emanuel, just a few that I could remember names. A perfect massage center where you can a have very good massage for very reasonable prices. Options of nearby restaurants and bars on the same beach just meters away.

The hotel is conveniently situated on a road lined with various restaurants and food shops adjacent to the property. There is a direct road from the hotel to the main beach, which is only a 4-5 minute walk away. The hotel is small and comprises of nine cozy-modern rooms and a top-floor dining area boasting a splendid view of the entire Kendwa area. I was impressed by the team's exceptional hospitality and willingness to assist with anything I required during my stay. As a working traveler, reliable internet is a must, and I'm pleased to say that this hotel delivered on that front.

    The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

    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.

    Clean, very friendly staff, five minutes walk to Kendwa beach, delicious breakfast, and amazing dinner. Juma is an excellent chef. Hassan (the owner) is always there to help, in case you need anything. Ali will make your day, always cheerful 😀. If you are looking for a budget accomodation in Zanzibar, this is definitely the place. Will definitely come back again.

    perfect location on the best beach in zanzibar. Beautiful:) loads of activities like boat trips, hair braiding, spa treatments, and all the water sports. not to mention the incredible sunset.

    We stayed at Gold Zanzibar for 3 nights. It is a beautiful resort in an amazing location right on Kendwa beach. The food was incredible and the buffets had so many options. The pool was nice and there was also a spa that had a great deal on some of their treatments. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was lovely, with beautiful balcony views.
