Hotels in Tanzania

The staff were amazing, with a big shout out to Salim (front desk), William and Hussein at the bar, and Winnie who cleaned the room.

Totally recommend!! Pia, Leo and all the staff are friendly, kind, attentive, generous and helpful. The location is beautiful and peaceful, on a white sandy beach. The ocean out front is swimmable at high tide, and walkable at low tide, with locals seaweed farming and fishing in the intertidal areas. This hotel is just out of the hubbub of Paje, but an easy 20-30 minute beach walk to the cafes, kite hire shops, etc. Plenty of tours and activities can be arranged if you want to explore the island. Beds are comfortable, rooms and bathrooms are clean, food is excellent, and the outdoor seating and loungers ensure you can relax! We had a perfect 5 nights here.

We had five wonderful nights at Matumani guest house. And we did not want to leave. Such a beautiful house, with a wonderful garden and breathtaking view. In a quiet area away from noisy tourist areas. And most of all Margret took so good care of us. We were served lovely homemade food, and she spoilt the kids with little homemade treats. Margaret organised and helped us with anything we asked for with a smile. We had the barbecue on the beach on our last evening, and it was amazing. The octopus was the best we ever had, and it was such a wonderful experience. We did a snorkelling trip and a sunset cruise organised by Margaret on a beautiful dhowe, both being lovely trips. We will recommend everyone to stay at Matumani. We hope to be back one day.

Very clean and cozy. Modern apartment near to the airport and Arusha! Yoyo and his wife are the best! They treat us like family. The best hospitality we have ever had! I highly recommend this!

Tomek and wife were amazing hosts. Very attentive and made sure our stay was memorable. Rooms with awesome sea views. Nice big pool. Food was really good especially the fresh baked bread 🍞 in the morning. Staff were very friendly and service was great. Will definitely be back.

VeriDiana is a true gem!!! We have had a great time there, especially that we very much needed to rest and relax in a nice athmosphere. Exotic garden, in which rustic but comfortable bungalows are located, is very well mantained and clean. Even dry leaves are constantly swept away from sandy pathes, nice to walk on. We hoped to see more monkeys, but the few which visited us were very nice. We also had a resident bird talking to us all the time from the tree. The meals were very good and tasty. The whole staff was very friendly (this is common to Zanzibar!!!). Well carrying hand of friendly and efficient manager was seen all the time. The Internet was available only in public space when we arrived, but was efficiently installed during one day only in all bungalows.. Africa! One can evidently feel, how much the life is nicer and easier if everybody - you included! - is friendly and smiling to each other! The views are beatifull. Nothing more to expect.

Hekaya is located in a beautiful, peaceful beach location. Compared to other places we stayed in Zanzibar, we liked the vibe on the beach here the most. Just down the beach from the Rock and lots of nice restaurants up and down the beach. The water is clear and blue without sea urchins. The rooms were spacious and clean and the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We especially loved being able to take our meals on our sunny, private balcony free of charge. Can’t recommend staying here enough!! Thanks Geoffrey and Jacquie

There is a reason why many people in the reviews say this is the best hotel the have ever been to Amazing staff, wonderful view, clean, luxurious hotel. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Super location, nice staff, best sea view.

A wonderful stay. Beautiful tent in the wildlife . Lots of beautiful wood. Every detail was meticulously thought out. Attention to the guest. The stuff were very attentive. Beds and bathrooms were prepared beautifully. Excellent cuisine. We highly recommend this tent. The standard is very high.

This is a very new place focussing on diving excursions with two very well equipped cabins. It is situated in the beautiful marine park area where scuba diving is exceptional. The area is not overrun by tourists and the cabin is a very cosy and restful place. Enjoy one of the evening cocktails, prepared by the friendly staff or relax at the poolside. The small resort arranges shuttle service to and from the airport.

Perfect, stylish boutique hotel with artistic touches close to the beach in a modern, yet local, architectural idiom, with excellent staff, delicious breakfasts, amazing monthly African dinner/show, and warm, lovely hosts.
