I really like Zlodge, I am a traveling content creator and found a really good deal with Zlodge, I stayed in the superior room right on the beach, the owner is someone special who spends a lot of attention on detail and the kitchen, you can see the work done on their Instagram page. @z.lodge.zanzibar. It was instant chemistry with the place, the food, the people, the views, and the owner. I could not be happier with selecting this place, you can truly admire the effort that goes into making it special for the price they ask, I would say this is a steal, if it is available just take it. You can always travel from this village to other parts of the island because of its central location. Recommended stay time minimum 3 days.

It is with a heavy heart we left this property. The staff and intimacy of the resort cannot be beaten! It was like staying with dear friends! From the moment of booking throughout our stay and departure, Laura the owner, has kept in touch. Making sure everything is as we please. This level of service and commitment is something other properties can learn a thing or 2 from. We had a deluxe suite and that was exceeded our expectations. The level of details, everything was well thought of. Bonus points for Netflix on the TV and a consistent WiFi connection. This made our stay even better. The grounds of the hotel are lush and green and very well kept. We loved going for evening swims after getting back from dinner. The pool was so tranquil. We loved laying in the pool and watching the stars above. What made our stay even more memorable is the fact that the staff went out of their way and surprised us with decorations for our 10 year wedding anniversary. They really made our special day!

Located in Kiwengwa, White Dream has a garden and a terrace. The property features a bar, as well as a restaurant serving international cuisine. Free WiFi is available and Vera Club is 500 metres away.

This was probably the best hotel we've ever been to. First of all the staff were amazing. Jessica, Monica, and Roukaya were incredible. The best service we've ever gotten anywhere. The room was spacious and spotless, and the beds were comfortable. The view from our room was great, it's right on the beach. We loved the restaurant, and the food was incredibly delicious. Nice variety for breakfast. The service, management, and everything were just perfect. The beach there is so calm, beautiful, and amazing for a swim, both low and high tides. The sphere was just heavenly. We wished we could have stayed longer. If you're looking to stay somewhere in Zanzibar, don't look any further and just book White Dream.

Marafiki Bungalows is located on the beach in Kiwengwa,overlooking the ocean.Zanzibar International Airport is a 1 hour drive away.

The rooms are housed in traditional bungalow units, featuring local Zanzibari architecture and dried palm leaves for roofing. The furniture is locally crafted and the interiors are complemented with ocean-coloured overlays created using traditional looms.

the stuff was very very friendly. Everyone smiles and says hello. I felt like a family with them. The food is delicious: lots of seafood, vegan options and meat as well. I enjoyed a scheduled yoga class with ocean view with Silvia. The bungalow was lovely - with the ocean view - couldn't imagine better. I loved the cosmetics in the room - it was a good quality local product with wonderful smell of coconut + lime. Thank you Peter, Susan, Michael, Ester and the rest of the stuff, you made my holiday fantastic.

    This is a beautifully located property right on the beach front. Angela and Mr Karrim are absolutely stellar host. They are very accommodating and welcoming. We arrived in the early hours of the morning with no check in issues. The daily entertainment was quiet nice.

    The hotel is located at the quieter end of the beach and room was located right on the beach so it felt like you had your own private beach. We really liked the front patio and hammock.

    We liked everything, from the wonderful, smiling and always helpful hosts and staff, through the amazing space around the hotel, wonderful massages, to the restaurant, the view of the ocean and our favorite outdoor bed right on the beach. It was a pleasure to spend a week of our vacation there, we felt like at home. We hope that we will be able to return there again.

    Unlike most other resorts this one is right on the beach, there is no barrier between you and the ocean. And since it’s a small place the beach vendors (who are everywhere on every beach in Zanzibar) tend to focus on the beach stretches of the bigger resorts. This is a huge advantage. Food is great, staff is friendly and welcoming. Walking up and down the beach it was super evident that this is the best place for kilometers both up and down the beach.

    The first thing I want to mention is the lovely staff, very friendly and attentive. Location right on the beach. You can watch the views of the ocean, having breakfast or relaxing on a sunbed. Good cuisine at reasonable prices in the hotel restaurant. So, if you are looking for an atmosphere of complete relaxation and tranquility, this is the right choice.

    Very good food, everyday different and the hotel is very well located, right on the beach. The ocean itself was also very good to swim in, no rocks, which you find sometimes in Zanzibar. Besides, the staff is very friendly, Stella and Harry from the reception are very welcoming and there is everyday some other entertainment to do or see.

    Bahati Villa was wonderful from the moment we arrived. They have very clean rooms with A/C and the staff are very friendly. Their private beach area is very comfortable and provides some escape from the loads of people trying to sell you something on the beach. Although the rooms are not on the beachfront, they are shaded by a beautiful tree which has many birds, bats and thick-tailed bushbabies. Our absolutely highlight here is the breakfast which is amazing!

    We had such a delightful stay. When you arrive you get a warm welcome from Ivana and the whole team accompanied with the most beautiful view of the beach and the ocean. We had a beautiful spacious room with a terrace. Also the comman area is really nice. The whole vibe is chilled. In the restaurant they have a really wide choice of traditional and european food. Also prosecco ;) The location in perfect, right on the beach. I would recommand this place to everyone who wants to totally relax. Staying there was truly a dream 💙
