Bathroom is a outdated, could use an update.

At a wonderful location, beach side, restaurant, breakfast is served at the bungalow, room is spacious and nice, just 50 meter and direct access to the beach. Great staff, very helpful and gave us good advice on excursions. Staff checked regularly if all was good. Easy to walk to restaurants on the beach.

Maybe a little more choice for breakfast, especially more local fruits

Nice, clean, easy, spoilt and great staff. Didn’t need anymore to enjoy a relaxing break

The restaurant was OK. The food was not very good, which was disappointing because we paid to have meals included in the stay. We ended up eating elsewhere, which felt like a waste of money.

Excellent location, kind staff, and nice facilities.

Stayed here for 4 days with my boyfriend. This place is absolutely amazing. The property is beach front, the beach is beautiful with white sand and cristal clear water. At high tides you can jump right in. It’s also situated in a lively area with lots of cafes and restaurants around. The property is very large, it comes with a beautiful, well maintained garden with lots of palm trees, bushes and flowers. It is the only hotel with such a nice large garden. We had the king room with ocean and garden view. It’s a large room, comfortable bed and very clean. Room service is also spot on. We really enjoyed the breakfast serviced on the terrace in front of the room. Breakfast has a nice choice and really keeps you going throughout the day. We also very much enjoyed the pool, it has a really good size for swimming. Everyone at the hotel was very kind and welcoming. Overall I can absolutely recommend this place for an unforgettable stay!

Clean, spacious bungalow with all amenities you can ask for. Situated in a lovely big garden. Breakfast is served on your terrace, which is very nice. Peaceful place with its own beach area, which we appreciated a lot. Very helpful and supportive staff and the owner, Seif, was also very nice.

Very nice place, amazing cottages and very friendly personal

The water was expensive from the bar.

This property was great for a peaceful getaway in tropical paradise. The owners were brilliant hosts and the food was good.

food service fairly slow; room somewhat dated

great location, beautiful garden like premises, good pool, great food, pleasant staff, breakfast served on private terrace, beachfront dinner

The swimming pool water is like a hot tub, not at all refreshing. There is a generous onsite library with tons of titles of many languages, these books are so dusty and disorganized.

The resort has a beautiful location right on the beach. The breakfast includes a wonderful fruit plate, lots of coffee and choice of eggs etc. There is a lovely beach front restaurant that does a great fish burger. Staff are very friendly and try hard to be helpful.

Stayed in March 2023

The bathrooms could do with an upgrade as they are very dated. The food orders always took a long time to come.

The surroundings are beautiful, gorgeous trees, plants, flowers. Very quiet and peaceful, the staff cannot do enough to make you comfortable. Situated on a beautiful beach.

Food a bit hit or miss in the evenings. We gotva pita bread and hummus thar was not good for 5 dollars. Cocktails could have been a bit stronger and no happy hour but the breakfast is good and these are small complaints. Got a lovely veg curry as well

Nice pool, comfy room, plenty of space between rooms, could hear the sea and swim there and nice overall vibe

great location

Nothing that I can remember.

I liked that the staff were very friendly, a lovely landlord too. The pool was perfect and it was only a short distance to all the main restaurants. The complex is very safe with security guards at both entrances.

Nothing!

The location was fantastic, straight onto white sand and clear blue sea beaches! The staff were extremely attentive and polite. We enjoyed the private beach area by the hotel bar as you could relax there without being bothered by vendors on the beach. The view was gorgeous. Our little cottage was always clean and comfortable. We enjoyed waking up in paradise each morning. Would love to return to flame tree cottages. You can also snorkel from the beach outside the hotel if you bring your own snorkel gear. We saw lots of starfish here 🤩

** UPDATE: I wrote a review. It was not positive. The owner said she'd consider refunding me if I took it down. I did. And she gave us nothing. So here it is again ** We've traveled for 30+ years and been to 50+ countries and had never checked out of a place early... until we stayed at Flame Tree. If this were a $50 a night hotel, we would have dealt with anything. But paying nearly 8x that?! The owner might consider coming from Europe to TZ to see what customers get for the thousands she earns daily. We eventually switched to another place that was much cheaper and wildly better -- we will remember there and not Flame Tree, but we wanted to warn others to help people avoid getting ripped off. - We booked a 5 day stay. We would've left after 1 night, but stayed for 3 as our kids got sick. We left 2 days early and were told by the manager, after he consulted the owner, that giving refunds were 'not our policy'. The product was poor. The customer was miserable. And nothing can be done? - The photos in the listing are not a true representation of how rundown Flame Tree rally is. It needs a major overhaul. Mold is everywhere. Our bathroom light flickered like in a horror movie. The showerhead sprayed all over the place. There were exposed wires sticking out of the wall. The ceiling fans and water kettle were probably from the 1990s. - Breakfast on the patio was a nice idea until it arrived. Our eggs were some of the hardest of our lives... and they were scrambled. We asked for bread and it smelled like mold. We stopped ordering breakfast for ourselves and just got daily pancakes for the kids. - The listing said free toiletries and we basically got nothing. We asked for shampoo and conditioner and got a handful of lotion. - Wifi was awful. Simple pages didn't load. At nearby locations, Wifi worked fine. It's not TZ. It's Flame Tree. ** Spare yourself the trouble and stay somewhere else. There are much better options on the island.

Hotel is in a good location, if access to Nungwi is of interest. In our view, there are better places on the island to stay than Nungwi. Pool was nice, with a shallow section for kids. Some of the staff, particularly Mohammed and Agness, were great. Mohammed especially tried to make the best of the numerous issues that came up. It's clear the owners can't be bothered to give him much to work with.

There is little room for improvement which would be nice to see kn next stay here: -food takes looooong time to arrive on table -portions should really be increased -WiFi is slow... it barely opens websites. You have to keep waiting -breakfast menu to be changed/modified at least 2-3 days, because its always the same. For the price per day per room, it should be wider choice.

-Super welcoming and kind staff. Every single one of them will make you feel welcomed, and assist you at any given time. Special shout out to Mohammed who goes above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing stay. -special touch of owner, who will greet you personally, which is really nice gesture -Breakfast is very nice. Served on your veranda every morning. (Its always same menu everyday, it gets a bit monotone, but its ok for 2-3 days stay) -Hotel is right on the beach, inside hotel itself it feels like resort, so much greenery and nice pool -Food is good, but portions are small... especially starters. -Everyday they replenish water bottles, and spray room for mosquitoes in evening time -Tea coffee pot and sachets available also in room which is nice -When power goes off (normal in zanzibar) they have generators so you always have electricity and AC in room -AC is really really good!
