Amazing

Our shower leaked all over the room. We attempted multiple ways to stop it. We didn’t bother mentioning to staff as it was down to the structure of the shower so it could not be helped, but it was annoying. Food was nice but could have a bit more variety.

Very quiet and relaxing Beautiful views Lovely room

There was nothing to dislike.

It was exceptional, with such attention to detail. The location was perfect and amazing views. The room was spacious and authentic. The thing that makes it truly special are the staff. They always had a smile and did everything in their power to make it a truly memorable, perfect holiday . It really did feel like paradise.

Nothing too crazy but note the relatively steep stairs to the beach if you are not as mobile.

Charismatic hotel with homey feeling. One of our favourites on the island. Great to walk on the beach when there are low tides and great for swimming when high tide. There is mainly clear sand in front of the hotel. We got a room upgrade and we loved the complimentary boat ride.

The rooms are spacious and housekeeping is impeccable. Modern Boho Aesthetics and I love. It is quiet and peaceful. The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Camille the owner is simply amazing💕💕

Be Zanzibar is spotless, with great attention to detail in the rooms and amenities. The vibe is relaxing yet vibrant — a perfect place to unwind

Access and road are very underwhelming Too over priced for location and facilities In the land of coconut, coconut water is charged at 3$ and not included in breakfast Hair dryer is very low quality Stay was good overall but not at all what you would expect for the price point

Rooms are nice View is nice Staff is good

I didn't like leaving. That's it, I can't fault it !

What can I say, this hotel was an absolute dream. Especially being solo I felt like this was home. From the beautiful reception I received by the ladies. To the amazing room that was kindly decorated for me to the sweetest waitresses and a big mention to Salome. She was an absolute star that made my stay all the better. The decor in this hotel was fabulous! Honestly the best I've ever stayed at and I was gutted to leave! Thank you to everyone that made this special for me!

Wifi could be better. The connection was not always reliable.

We had an amazing time at Be Zanzibar. The hotel is lovely with beautiful rooms, swimming pool, yoga space etc. The staff are very kind and helpful. We truly felt we are staying at an unique place.

My stay at Be Zanzibar Boutique Hotel was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed not just as a guest, but as family. The hotel itself is a hidden gem—beautifully designed, serene, and surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Every corner exudes charm and tranquility. What truly made the experience exceptional, however, was the incredible team that brings the place to life. A special shoutout to Camille, the General Manager, whose warmth, attention to detail, and passion for hospitality are truly inspiring. Camille went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The staff were equally amazing—Jeff, Khadija, Saluma, Haitham, and everyone else whose names I might have missed—each one of them was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. Whether it was arranging excursions, preparing delicious meals, or simply checking in to make sure we were happy, they made every moment feel special. If you’re looking for a place to relax, reconnect, and feel completely at home in paradise, look no further than Be Zanzibar. I can’t wait to return!

Rooms are very intimate. Very low lit, no bathroom doors, Made more for a couple. It was a little hard to find but once we got there, it was fine.

The pool overlooking the ocean was very nice and tropical. The staff is very nice.

Nothing at all! Only some areas of improvement. The hotel is stunning and peaceful but there were times were the guests were children and would disturbing. No fault of the hotel ofcourse but would be good to let guests with children know. The food could use a little more spices and would love to see more authentic Swahili dishes. Turn down service is upon request so make sure you ask 😊 Not a deal breaker but for those who drink alcohol, there is no alcohol in the hotel itself but you can bring your own.

Loved everything about Be Zanzibar! From the moment we arrived till we sadly had to check out. The views are unbelievable! The sunrise is a must. The rooms have everything you need and is clean! The restaurant has good food and the breakfast is something I looked forward to. We went sailing and the experience was great (thank you captain Abdul!) The clay making actives was a very nice touch (south out to mama Ameenah!) The staff were amazing and would know who you are which was good customer service. Very accommodating. The owner of the this lovely boutique hotel is on ground and also attentive to the guest (ask him about the story of the hotel 😉) Overall a must when you are in Zanzibar!

Amazing hotel full of good vibe! Rooms, food, pool area and the staff were amazing! Highly recommend! Paradise on earth 🩵

The service standards were not the highest, the staff was always smiling but sometimes a bit lost. Example: we didn‘t receive an introduction to the hotel so we didn’t know we needed to leave our room keys at the reception to receive room service. So the next day we left the keys after breakfast and came back before dinner. The room was not cleaned and our key was lost at reception. Even after that they didn’t manage to clean the room during dinner but only after. This is only one example and for sure we still had a nice stay, but the service could be a bit more attentive in the future.

The design of the hotel merged perfectly into the laid back vibe of the island. The staff was always kind and the food was good.

Had an exceptional stay at Be Zanzibar. Beyond the stylish design of the place, the superb view, and the unforgettable breakfast, we loved how genuinely friendly and approachable the staff were. The hotel also offers a wide range of exciting complimentary activities for free. A few magic days.
