Hotels on Zanzibar, Tanzania

This is one of the best hotels in Zanzibar. The receptionist, Irene, was very helpful and friendly she is very knowledgeable and smiles all the time. The chef (I don't remember his name) was also very nice, the food was excellent and the portion was enough. The rooms are clean and well kept, the environment, the beach, kids' play area are all well maintained. This hotel is also perfect for a family. The owner came by in the morning and he was very charming. This was my first time at Royal Cliff, and I will definitely come again

Sevi Hotel is beautifully located in Kigomani which is a more secluded beach in Zanzibar. We picked it because it’s close to Mnemba Island, where we snorkeled and luckily saw dolphins too! The staff were so warm and hospitable. It was my birthday when we stayed and they made sure it was special. The pools and other amenities are great and the villas ate spacious. The architecture and design blended well in the nature. George, the manager, is truly commendable. This is the best place in Zanzibar to relax and spend your beach days away.

This beautiful hotel was just a short walk from central Stonetown and only a block from the waterfront. The dining terrace offered a stunning view of the water front and the ocean as well as gorgeous sunsets! The swimming pool was sparkling clean—a welcome change from other hotel pools we experienced in Tanzania. The food in the restaurant was excellent, breakfast offerings abundant, and dining service outstanding. I would certainly return if ever in Zanzibar 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.

I was impressed by Clove Island! Hotel is looking very nice, high quality interior, looks very fancy and elegant. I'm traveling a lot, I was in four different hotels on Zanzibar, but this one was realy the best choose. Especially if you like delicious food, cozy and calm atmosphere, and absolutely gorgeous room design. Plus for good communication with managment staff and relaxing masage on Spa. I will come back

Haluk and Fred are the best hosts ever! Awesome place, peaceful and quiet (you will have a great sleep) with amazing energies, beautiful room with comfortable bed, good location (4 min from the beach), great value for money. We booked for 1 night and end up staying the whole 4 nights we had in Zanzibar, we felt at home :) Best breakfast we had in ALL Tanzania and they catered wonderful for vegan diet.

Staying at the Coffee House Hotel was just wonderful! Rooms are decorated in original Zanzibari style with big four-poster beds, staff are very charming and breakfast on the rooftop is a highlight! The location in the middle of the old town is very nice. The very lovely and always busy café on the ground floor adds to a nice atmosphere and serves wonderful coffee and cakes all day. I recommend highly!

Hotel staff was absolutely amazing, very helpful and genuine. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. We had our wedding ceremony there and hotel manager arranged everything for us, she took care of every detail! We really appreciate what they did and can truly recommend this place for everyone willing to get married in Zanzibar or just to have a pleasant relaxation by the beach.

I think the best part about Hotel Verde Zanzibar is the staff. The people they have are excellent in all aspects. Starting from the people that picked us from the airport, we experienced excellent service. The facilities are excellent and always clean and well kept and maintained as well. Everything about Hotel Verde Zanzibar is excellent.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Baladin at the after an amazing Tanzania safari with Eggy. We wish we would have stayed one more night as it went very quick. The staff helped arrange a snorkel trip and tour into Stone Town. Our room was warm as the ceiling fan downstairs did not work like the one up stairs. Very quiet area of Zanzibar.

Loved everything! My room, the helpful staff, the location and the value for money. The decor and view was also stunningly beautiful and I loved the fact that the hotel supplied local made toiletries by Inaya Zanzibar. I could've stayed a week, it was a piece of Zanzibar heaven. Definitely will be back.

Amazingly nice and helpful staff. Super quiet environment and just a 2min walk to the beach. Best dinner in Nungwi, we have never seen anything comparable to their quality and presentation of the food. Rooms were just perfect and very clean, best shower we had during our 3 weeks in Tanzania and Zanzibar.

I loved the seclusion of the location and how catered the experience was. The staff was wonderful and the food was the best we had on the island (and we traveled around a bit). I highly recommend Hotel on the Rocks. It was much better than the other property we stayed in Zanzibar.

The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I was very pleased with my stay at Antonion Garden Hotel and would highly recommend this place for anyone staying in Stone Town. I will definitely be staying here again if I return to Zanzibar.

The architecture of the hotel, such an authentic Zanzibar building. The staff are all warm, welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was excellent. The rooms are immaculate. The food is good. The location is the best in Stone Town.

The staff, like everyone in Zanzibar were extremely friendly, helpfull and approachable

The hotel is very “zanzibar” style, it is very beautiful. Breakfast is good.

Amazing facilities, great food, very good service
