I absolutely loved my stay at zanzibar queen hotel! The staff is beyond friendly and accommodating. The rooms are lovely and each has its own patio. The pool is amazing!!! It is salt water. The hotel is located right on a beautiful beach and there is great diving and snorkeling nearby. Will definitely be returning to Zanzibar Queen if I come back to the island. The food is great but most nights are a set menu. I really appreciated the effort the hotel makes to be eco-friendly.

The staff were friendly and approachable and fostered an ambiance of warmth and comfort. Food was fresh, local, and tasty. Value for money was exceptional! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, would recommend anyone looking for a relaxing, rejuvenating Zanzibar beach holiday to visit Zanzibar Queen. Would happily return and hope to do so in the future!

Upon arrival we were surprised by a free upgrade of the room to a sea view room. Also we received a free bottle of wine because of a special occasion we visited the place. During our stay there was a small miscommunication about the duration of a massage, but this was very nicely solved by the hotel crew with a 30 minute complimentary massage. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, and once we come back to Zanzibar we might consider staying here again.

The Zanzibar Queen Hotel was one of the best experiences we’ve had at a resort. The staff was so friendly, the food was really amazing (especially the barbecue with shrimp, lamb, lobster, etc.), the room was big, bright, and comfortable, the view of the ocean from the balcony was super, the pool was big and clean, the gardens were lush and gorgeous .... and the value for the price cannot be beat. All around a wonderful experience.

The staff at the Zanzibar Queen could not have been more welcoming! Everyone went out of their way to make my stay that much more pleasant, and I observed that same mentality with many other guests as well. Almost all rooms have a few of the ocean over the pool/courtyard area and it was really lovely and comfortable to spend time in both areas of the hotel. The hotel also provided little daily extras for guests including several yoga classes through out the week, local village walking tour, a beach cleanup opportunity, a reef walk etc. I thought this was a great touch! The food was also plentiful and delicious.

The staff are very friendly, the location is great as you can go right from the hotel back yard to the beach and to any sea activity. Please go with Aliy Zanzibar tour. He is an amazing guide and supportive.

The hotel is a bit far from the main excursions, however the tranquility, attentive staff, warm hospitality and amazing food makes up for it. The hotel has direct access to the beach and its most definitely a place you can escape to if you want to avoid the crowded places and simply relax.

Excellent entertainment / music can continue until 1030pm which makes it difficult to sleep if you have an early start. No rooms can avoid this. An observation rather than a complaint! Other than this, the property is a picture perfect oasis of tranquility and relaxation. Will definitely plan to return in the future.
Friendly, helpful and professional staff. A variety of quaint areas to relax and enjoy in the gardens and the beach access with covered loungers. Lovely pool and bar area to compliment the spacious, well equipped and comfortable rooms. Hot water always available for the shower and the bed was very comfortable. Nice balcony seating overlooking the gardens and sea. Use of beach shoes, bicycles and taxis available for exploring the local area.

The food was ok, needs more flavor but presentation was great. The pressure of the water in the shower was very low. I booked the sea facing room, but the view was very partial of the sea. It was pointless taking it.
We loved how friendly and welcoming the staff were. The resort had a lovely feel to it. The rooms were clean and the always made the room in the morning and then prepared the room for night which was amazing. Awesome night entertainment

There was only one TV in the resort, and it wasn't in the best location. We wanted to watch the football and cricket while chilling near the pool, so a TV near the pool would've been great!
Nice resort hotel with very friendly and welcoming staff. Our room was big, had a balcony with pool view, and had a big bed. The breakfast was good, with plenty of choice. Dinner was also good. The hotel offers lots of different excursions as well as scuba diving training and trips. It also has volleyball, basketball, badminton, and boule to play. The pool was big and pool area never too crowded.
