    absolutely nothing. Everything was working perfectly fine.

    The Location was Prime, an area full of life with access to most of the things and activities around you. A few steps from the main road, too short to car and plenty of spaces to park if you have a car. The room in Bohemian style was incredible with much care of details, everything we needed was available in the room, the beach breeze was filling the room, which was phenomenal. We were worried about mosquitoes due to the words we heard before traveling, NOT a single encounter. Breakfast was an option of 6 dishes, and my family and I kept shuffling between them to get a chance to try everything. Staff were VERY helpful and available on the spot, they actually managed to surprise us with my daughter's 9th birthday just two days before we finished our stay. I would not wish for anything more in that room and would for sure come back to it over and over.

    The apartment is amazing! The rooms are beautiful, clean and comfortable, directly on the beach with a spectacular view. The breakfast was very tasty, the staff was friendly and acommodating. There are a few local restaurants right next to the apartment and Paje is a short taxi drive away. We wished we would stay there longer! Highly recommended.

    The noisy music from both sides which makes it difficult (impossible) to relax on the balcony or even inside during the day.

    The location is perfect, right on the white-sand beach. The apartment is modern and clean, high ceiling, nice bathroom. The place is safe, walking distance to the village. The team is beautiful, always smiling with a great sense of service and hospitality.

    The room was well designed with direct access to the beach. The ambience was very elegant and the design is well thought through. We really loved the amenities like beach towels, hats, etc kept for us. This was one of the best place we have stayed this year and great value for money! Highly recommended.

    Nothing was all fantastic! If there was one thing me and my friend would add it would be a full length mirror. There is a lot of space for one 😉

    We had the most amazing stay at Kudos in Jambiani and truly didn’t want to leave. The staff were absolutely impeccable - kind, attentive, and genuinely warm-hearted. They went above and beyond for us, especially when we had an unexpected situation with a friend (who wasn’t on the booking) after a night out. They kindly allowed her to stay over and even prepared her breakfast for a small additional cost — all without making us feel awkward or uncomfortable. That kindness meant the world to us. Misee - who I believe is the manager (if not, she should be! 👀) - was phenomenal! She was quick to respond to any questions, always had a smile on her face, and made everything so easy for us. She arranged a driver for our night out, coordinated with our tour guide, and just made us feel so well looked after. A true gem! Speaking of the tour guide, Shawal was brilliant. As young female travellers, we’re always cautious - but with him, we felt completely safe and respected. He was patient and kind, especially when my friend struggled at the start of our snorkelling trip. He never made her feel bad and encouraged her until she felt confident enough to fully enjoy the experience. We couldn’t have asked for better. Then there was Stefano, who brought breakfast to our door every morning with a huge smile. He was friendly, respectful, and somehow knew exactly when to chat and when to give us space. A small thing, but it made a big difference. The apartment itself (we stayed in Apartment 6) was stunning and SO spacious. You could definitely have 4 people in there as there is a sofa bed. Honestly, it looks even better in person. Waking up to the sound of the ocean was a dream. And the breakfast - wow! Delicious, fresh, and a lovely start to each day. We’ve stayed in a few places during our trip to Zanzibar, but this one left a mark. We felt safe, cared for, and completely at home. Thank you to the entire team - we’ll be recommending you to everyone we know. Asante Sanaaaa!!!

    Oh my word, where to start? The staff was extremely friendly, our host Shawal took great care of us during our stay, the property was clean at all times and they fixed any problems we experienced almost immediately (our TV wasn’t working and they brought us a new one on the spot). Overall, money well spent.

    Amazing location, great comfort, and service. We booked for 3 nights and extended our stay for another 2. It was the highlight of our stays in Zanzibar. Thank you for great hospitality. We had an absolutely wonderful stay in. The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering great local tips and even checking in to make sure everything was ok. The residential had a great pool area where we spent most of the days, check the bar restaurant, very nice food and drinks. Planning to return for our next holiday.

    Breakfast was really nice though there was limited choice. Aesthetically, apartments look exactly like the pictures. Beachfront property. Easy to communicate with staff via WhatsApp and efficient responses. However, very turbulent roads to access the property. Not easy to find. Wouldn’t recommend travelling with a lot of suitcases because they use a wheel barrow to transport. Lack of amenities - No pool/No in-house restaurant. Electricity and water outages were very disruptive, especially during daytime. Whilst they have a generator, it couldnt support the a/c or blowdryer. Electricity was manageable during the evenings.

    This hotel is the definition of perfection for a seaside vacation! Located directly on the sand, steps away from the ocean, every moment spent here was a real joy. The rooms are decorated with great taste and attention to the smallest details, creating an elegant and relaxing atmosphere. We felt pampered not only by the comfort of the room, but also by the impeccable service provided by the extremely attentive and friendly staff. One of the most beautiful moment of the day was gorgeous breakfast, served with a smile on the terrace overlooking the sea. A simple but absolutely charming experience! Also, any request we had, the hotel team did their best to accommodate us immediately. We can't wait to come back!
