Perfekt place to get away from the hustle & bustle of the city and relax in nature. The room was large and spacious (Family room) We loved the Aesthetic interior in the rooms and outside. Enjoyed a great time at the beach (at low tide). Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Amazing breakfast, very tasty food… we loved the Tuna steak.

we traveled to nungwi, Kiwengwa and Bweju.
but only in this hotel it was true service !
the staff was amazing as on no other hotel.
we felt extremely welcoming and as if we would be the most important guest.
in comparison to all the other hotels - it was the best. Eventhough the pool was cloudy the first day - they stand out with Theire service to find a solution for us.
it was a perfect stay thanks to the staff (including the lovely cleaning lady)

I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.
I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.
Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

We went to the Zan View Beach Bar most nights for happy hour...
We went to the Zan View Beach Bar most nights for happy hour and dinner. The beach has much more of a relaxed feel than Nungwi, which seemed more like a place for young people to get drunk whereas Kiwengwa was more families and laid-back properties.
The hotel is a true gem. It is on the southern part of Kiwengwa village, which is very calm and has a beautiful beach right in front. The property has a very nice beach area with hammocks, loungers and mattresses where you can hang out at the beach the whole day.
The food was exceptional, portion size and taste wise. And not to forget the staff, who were all very kind, attentive and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We fully recommend staying at this hotel in this beautiful hidden gem part of the island.
Poa Poa is very small and intimate, which creates a homely and relaxed atmosphere. The staff work very hard to provide a spotless and cosy environment just steps from the beautiful beach. The bungalows are discreet and harmonious, and the pool is a good size for a small hotel. Meals are served in the lovely beach bar with good food and occasional live music. Zanzibar is not a cheap destination but we loved the fact that Poa Poa has a sense of intimacy and style that makes it a special place to stay.
Zan View in my opinion is outstanding, because of its management & staff team, its authentic interior design and cleanliness and its location. In Zanzibar people are super friendly in general, friendliness and service-orientation of the whole team was exceptional and far above expectation (am travelling to Zanzibar since 2008). Located on top of a small hill, with stairways down to Kairo village and the hotels private beach stretch,it is a georgeous combination of hotel privacy and local village.
Our family found Z lodge after a disaster of a stay in Kiwengwa main beach,
we moved from our original hotel and found a great deal with these guys,
they helped us with excursions, Mary the owner and my wife made really nice photshoots on the beach swings,
and the kids played in the pool all day,
I had some time to go fishing with the local fisherman,
special treats from the kitchen all day, big tuna's to the north,
speak to sule the manager and he will fix you with all your needs.
Two big powers are stuff and location. Everybody was so friendly, nice and helpful, addressing any question we had. Hotel is small, just on the beach, good food, smiling faces, very chilled atmosphere. Special thanks to Sacha, who was everywhere and always, organizing us the trips for seeing dolphins, snorkling and etc, being very flexible, telling us stories about the culture and life, letting us beat him in cards games and bringing us to the airport at night :) We will come back.
Our stay was smooth and quite nice, after staying in different hotels in Zanzibar I know when I find a gem and Boho boutique hotel is one of them. Daniel and Roxana makes you feel immediately at home. Their such a nice host.
The hotel is clean, modern and stylish just very close to the beach. Amazing for a Zanzibar vacation of your dreams. Thank you Daniel, Roxanna and the team for hosting us, we will surely come back again!
Regards,
Leo and Sabrina
Excellent property and Alice from the Zanzibar Houses Office management was very easy to deal with. Suleyman was accessible throughout the stay and Sule (the stay-in security guy) was also respectful of our requests for privacy as a family. Rahmah the cleaning lady was amazing and the property was super clean everyday. Chef was also accommodating of our requests and made some excellent pancakes. If you like sunsets, it is a dream come true! :-)
Almost private pool, there are just 2 or 3 rooms and you get to have a pool and a beautiful garden in which you can chill and enjoy nature. The restaurant offers one of the most genuine and tasty dishes we had in Zanzibar and everything is fresh (the owner gets the fish and the lobsters straight from the fisherman at the beach!). The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff is so friendly and kind.
I stayed in la base for 5 and the experience has been great. The place is really clean and comfortable. The restaurant is located right in front of the beach so you'll definitely have a relaxing time while enjoying your meal and drinks. Thanks to the hosts Cris and Luca. They were really cool. This place is a must when you're in kiwengwa.
Very cozy hotel with amazing and very friendly staff and hosts. The room was very spacious with clean linens and good pressure in the shower. Breakfasts were amazing and here they can make good espresso as well. The swimming pool and some shadows around it could really provide some rest from the hot weather conditions on Zanzibar.
The location is really nice. Even though the hotel itself is not really at the beach ( they have a beach bar and the hotel is like 100 m further), that beach is the best one we've seen in Zanzibar. The rooms were clean and food was decent. The ac was working fine and water in the shower was hot. Internet was good.
Too bad it was only for 2 days! Unfortunately the hotel was full and we could not stay longer. As the hotel is new, there were a few shortcomings, but overall great. Very nice rooms, clean, satellite TV which is not so obvious on Zanzibar, air conditioning and a fan. I recommend!
A peaceful oasis in one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar! Excellent staff, very helpful and available to make your stay as pleasent as possible. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food is delicious with generous portions. Everything was perfect! Highly recommend!
The place gives off a Greece vibe and it’s so peaceful.Gibson was so helpful , he helped us with whatever we needed.
The place is next to the beach and their breakfast is so nice .
I definitely recommend this place and will always come back if I ever come to Zanzibar
It was such a wonderful stay of my life, the customer care was top notch. Victor the front office manager makes a lot of difference at Kiwengwa beach.Always available to assist.
Because of such people we cannot think twice but confirm another visit soon.
It's my third spot to stay on my travel route in Zanzibar:
- Amazing Food
- Small Hotel
- Private
- not a lot of traffic on the beach.
- great staff team
- neat and clean rooms
Happy to come back to Z - Lodge
