  • zLife Stone Town Review score: 8

    “Low budget stay, close to the local beach where all the trips start. Comfy matress, average breakfast - fruits/eggs. The inside of the bulding is very beautiful.”

  • Z-Lodge Zanzibar Review score: 10

    “I recently stayed at Z-Lodge, and it was a fantastic experience. The lodge is right on the beach, with all rooms and the restaurant super close to the Indian Ocean. From the moment we arrived we were greeted warmly at the reception with refreshing coconut water and given a quick, easy-going orientation. It was a great start. Our room was wonderful—spacious, bright, and filled with charming, authentic furniture made from aged wood. The standout feature for us was the lounge area in the restaurant. They’ve creatively used old boats as seats, giving us a perfect view of the ocean 24/7 with the relaxing sound of the waves in the background. The restaurant menu is well thought out, with something for everyone, including vegan options. A huge shoutout to the chefs—the food was amazing and looked fantastic. The only small issue was the portion sizes—they were enormous, and we often couldn't finish our meals. But the restaurant staff were always smiling and ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfasts were particularly special, especially with the beautiful sunrise. The selection was delicious, with plenty of fruits, drinks, and pastries that looked so tempting, though I was on a diet! For families, there’s a great area with board games, Lego, drawing supplies, and other toys, which kept the kids entertained for hours. It’s a perfect spot for those traveling with children. We also went on some excursions, and the Kiwengwa Reef tour was a highlight. It was an incredible experience and definitely worth it. Overall, our stay at Z-Lodge was cozy and full of positive vibes. I highly recommend it!”

  • Warere Beach Review score: 5

    “I loved the staff and the general facilities. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, this is the perfect place. However, being a solo traveller, I wanted to meet other people and this was a bit of a distance to the more populated beach. However, I have absolutely nothing to complain about my stay.”

  • Kasha Boutique Hotel Review score: 9

    “Small hotel with only around 11 rooms which means you really feel like you have this little slice of heaven to yourself. Perfect for couples who are celebrating anniversaries, honeymoons, engagement etc Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Every interaction we had was pleasant and extremely kind. Price of food, drinks etc is really good in comparison to other resorts and very high quality (we stayed at a second resort during our stay and it was much more expensive than Kasha and the food wasn’t as good). My husband stood on a sea urchin during our first excursion which we booked with the hotel’s in-house excursion manager, Hamadi, and Hamadi made sure to follow up after the excursion and remove the sea urchin using papaya. Such a kind and thoughtful gesture to go above and beyond! Very secure with security at the entrance and through out the hotel. Hotel is very private and out of the way - you can only hear the sound of the waves and breeze. It’s idyllic and peaceful. If you want time away from the noise and hustle and bustle of tourist areas, this is the place!”

    “Ambiance”

  • Park Hyatt Zanzibar Review score: 9

    “The Hotel is one of the nicest on the island. However you can’t compare with a 5 star on Europe. But for the island is a nice one. The staff is super helpful.”

  • Mnarani Beach Cottages Review score: 7

    “Close to the beach and very private”
