We stayed in three different hotels and Mkeka Spice Lodge was by far the best. We have never eaten such a rich breakfast anywhere. The portions were huge and everything was delicious. The rooms are very clean, there is always hot water. The beach is only a few minutes walk. Hotel service is fantastic. when we were leaving we were sad to say goodbye to the staff who were always helpful and always made us laugh. The hotel is well guarded and you can feel very safe. If we come back to Zanzibar it's only to Mkeka Spice Lodge.❤

The Hotel is wonderfull, the restaurant is the best we had in Zanzibar. It is super clean, has a good location in Jambiani and it has everything you need. The hosts are out of this world, they have been most helpful and they are going out of their way to help you with everything you need, best hotel owners we’ve seen in the last decade at least. I totally recommand this place, would rate it higher than 5 stars if i could, oh and did i tell you about how good the food is? It can compete with any major hotel in Europe

Best Location, a bit hidden in the tiny side alleys, at the same time in the middle of the Backpacking-Area of Zanzibar. 50m to the beach, 5-10min to the Clinic, Pharmacy, Copyshop or Supermarket. 1-2 Parties each day at different places at the beach. Reachable in 2-30min of walking. 5min to the Mainpartyspot (B4). Lots of chilling places in the Hostel. Good sweet chicken with hot sauce! The owner has an open ear for problems what needs to get solved. Beach to the left, tourist area, beach to the right empty.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Zanzibari Hotel and I am very impressed with the quality of service it had exceeded my expectations from the moment that I arrived at the hotel, the staff are very accommodating , friendly and my room is spectacular having a view of the sea. I also would like to add that the food was divine. Thank you so much to the whole team for your excellent service and for arranging the birthday surprise for me. I had a memorable stay ,Thank you very much and see you next time.

During a 2 weeks period I stayed in 3 different 4-stars hotels in Nungwi and Z Hotel was the best. Staff is simply incredible, you see that each of them is doing everything to make you have a good time. Even the GM is almost every day asking how are you doing and if there is any feedback. It is at the heart of Nungwi. Rooftop Bar has the best view ever for the sunset and beach. Food is very good and menu has very large selection. This will be the hotel I will stay again if I go to Zanzibar.

Beautiful view from the room we booked. Hotel has a guest manager who checks in on all guests, which is a nice touch. Hotel has 2 other hotels that they work with so they try to keep it interesting, with breakfast moving between the lodges. It's right on the beach so easy access to many restaurants and hotels in the area.. Water cooler for guests and glass bottle in room so you can refill water anytime you need, with the blazing heat in Zanzibar, this was a nice touch.

The Sandies Baobab Hotel was very beautiful, big with lots of cottages, really clean and the staff was very friendly and reactiv. The beach was stunning with clear water. We just had breakfast which was very good and had everything! Really a lot of choices! We had dinner twice at the restaurant which cost us $20 per person for a buffet with lots of food! It was good and varied. If we were to come back to Zanzibar, we would definitely come back to this hotel!

The V Hotel offered everything that we needed for holidays - friendly and supportive staff, privacy, close location to the astonishing sandy beach, clean room, place to meet new people, and good starting point for trips to Zanzibar (especially East and South coast). We very much enjoyed hotel terrace in the evenings. The hotel is very comfortable and well decorated. We have very nice memories of this small but very cosy hotel.

-Very friendly and helpful stuff (Special thanks for General Manager Mr. Aied Rizkalla, Chef Lotfy, Stella, Zabron and Said) -Flash Tour Guide Suleyman he is very professional. He arranged our tours with best price in Zanzibar. -Delicious food served. -Best honeymoon welcoming I had ever seen in a hotel or resort. -Hotel location is perfect. 45 min to every where on island. Hotel is perfect for family’s and couples.

Our stay at Africa Paradise Hotel was wonderful! I like everything - delicious breakfast, lovely area, clean room with huge balcony and the best sea view ever, wide gold sandy beach. Owners were super friendly. They assisted with all of our wishes - arrange transfer the airport, car rental and driver permit, suggested interesting places to visit. Thank you so much, Pie and Hashim for our great time on Zanzibar!!

The place is perfect, we loved the last days we spent in Zanzibar at Zanzest Vegan Hotel. We were in the Lion room (superior with sea view, just beautiful!), big bed and really comfortable. The staff super kind and nice. We took lunch during our stay all days at the hotel because food was delicious and the place is just incredible. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the East Sea, we hope to repeat soon :)

Look no further in Stone Town, Spice Palace is the best, Perfect choice, everything was super fine, easily accessible from either ferry or airport. The hotel is located few meters from Forodhani Park. Great and highly skilled staff, great breakfast at the Hotel with varieties of flesh to baked stuffs you can choose from. I highly recommend this hotel while in Zanzibar city, THE BEST IN STONE TOWN

With years traveling as a backpacker all around the world I have to say Teddys is one of the best Hostels I've ever been so far: - My favorite beach in Zanzibar - Amazing staff - Delicious and well priced food - Wonderful pool and garden And a great mix of travelers from all over the world. From families to party people, just a wonderful crowd.

Outstanding personnel and Really Nice Hotel. Rooms are really spacious. Location wise - have in mind that you are on 5 min walking distance (where locals houses are) from the beach. Hotelwise - little too expensive for Zanzibar, but staff is Amazing. All of them are super responsive and will take care of your smallest requests! Cudos guys!

everything ! we’ve decided to come back for a few days after a very very bad experience (at the Baladin Hotel in Pingwee - don’t trust the reviews of this place that’s a total scam). Regina, Humphrey and all the team made our second stay at Villa Bluu perfect! thanks a lot for everything, best place in Zanzibar!!!

Hotel is situated on the beach, location is perfect. Bungalows are also very good. They have AC and very fast and good internet. We were also enjoying in the swimming pool. Breakfast is very good and all the staff is very friendly and helpfull. If we will come back to Zanzibar, we will return to this hotel.

Hotel has only 18 rooms so there are no crowds in the swimming pool or the beach. Nice view of the ocean from the bungalow. Hotel is close to shops and restaurants in the area. Loved the staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend to everyone who looks for relaxing time in Zanzibar.

Zanzibar is a hidden gem, and Green's Hotel made my trip better. I'd thank Mohamed for being hospitable and nice, and he helped me with many things. The Breakfast is so delicious, and the room was very comfortable with all the amenities. Hopefully, I will come back here in my next holidays.

Perfectly located, the Canary Hotel and its team welcomed us warmly from the first moment on. Everyone is exceptionally friendly. The Management is absolutely customer-centred, leaving no wish unrealized. We enjoyed our stay a lot - and we'll surely come back here on our next vacation on Zanzibar!

Equalia Boutique Hotel is conveniently located in Jambiani right on the beach and we absolutely loved the outdoors area in front of the hotel with a great view to the sea. The breakfast choice was also great and the best we encountered in Zanzibar. The staff is very lovely and made us feel welcome.
