The hotel manager was very helpful !

The perfect place for an authentic Zanzibar experience! We stayed at this hotel for 3 weeks and were more than happy with our experience! The food is delicious, the rooms are very spacious and the staff are super friendly. This small, typical hotel is located in an authentic village, with a private beach just a 1-minute walk away. This may seem surprising at first glance, but in reality the place is more than safe and the villagers are exceptionally friendly. A special mention to Frank, the manager, and Mada and Tudor, the owners, who were absolutely adorable. Thank you for all your advice, anecdotes and 10/10 service. Having you on a daily basis was a real pleasure! We wish you all the best for your hotel! See you in Canada 😉⛷️ Léa & Mathis

Breakfast was quite basic - one sort of (toast) bread, fruits, two fresh juices, instant coffee and a large choice of teas. That could be improved a bit - but it was nothing really serious" .-) Apart from that - and I liked that - every morning some pancakes, cakes, hash browns and grilled vegetables were offered. There was an eggs menu as well which one could choose from and it was made à la carte. The beach club area had less sunbeds in comparison to the previous year. I could imagine that - when fully booked - some guests would have to stay without such a sunbed.

It was my second time as this lovely, small and cozy hotel! the staff (Tukae, Noro, Rose, Selena, Tina, Abdillah and Mohamed, Modesta, Frank (the hotel manager) and Yusuf and all others I might have now forgotten to mention) were just amazing and outstanding - everybody in his or her own way. I loved the authentic (!) friendliness and the positive and guest-oriented attitude and the smiles! My room (triple) was very spacious and I have seen a few improvements over my stay the previous year: my room was equipped with a water kettle and the shower area looked "fresher". The internet was working smoothly and most of the time really well! No shortcomings in terms of electricity cuts anymore (caused by the government - NOT the hotel). Dinner menu had a "half board special" including a starter, a main and a dessert to choose from (for 20USD). The choice was good and the food quality was excellent thanks to the superb chefs! I would most definetely come back!

If anything can be improved it would be to add a bin to the room and railings on the steps to the beach.

We recently stayed at Zan View Hotel in a triple room and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a great seating area on the balcony that added to the relaxing atmosphere. The standout feature of our stay was the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with smiles and helpful service. A special mention goes to Frank, the General Manager, who was exceptional. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, always checking in and providing help where needed. The restaurant was another highlight. The food was fresh, delicious, and the variety on the menu even catered to my daughter’s gluten and dairy allergies. We enjoyed every meal! Overall, Zan View Hotel provided a perfect combination of comfort, excellent service, and a personal touch. We highly recommend it and hope to return soon.

We loved the welcome and the facilities - the staff were so attentive and helpful and we were a short stroll from the stunning beach and could wander down to watch the sunrise. I am vegan and the chef was so careful and creative with my meals thank you. Our room was absolutely beautiful with a new floral display on our bed each evening. Thank you for a great stay

The first room’s bed was broken but then they switched us to another room with another bed which was great!

Amazing staff beautiful outdoor space and amazing beach bar/ private beach!

The neighboring properties are a bit run down and the short walk to the beach is also a bit unpleasant.

Property and facilities very good, very clean, well maintained . Staff very friendly and helpful. Small section on beach excellent. The very large beach is a wonderful place with many activities available. Good places on the property to relax and enjoy the view.

Evening Frank I just wanted to thank you and your team once again for being so accommodating, friendly and welcoming. You made us feel so welcomed and comfortable during our stay! All aspects were amazing, food was delicious! The bar ladies were brilliant and always had a smile on their face. The drivers were always on time and just as friendly. Our room was spacious and clean. Thank you for making our first trip to Zanzibar one to remember. Caitlin, Kayla and Chloe

I recently stayed at Zan view Hotel for 5 night's, and had an outstanding experience. The room was spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff, led by the director, Mr. fanck, were amazing and provided exceptional service. The breakfast was delicious, and the views of the sea and garden were breathtaking. You will pass by 2 streets head to the bar in the beach, where you feel the local life and the wonderful people who are most of them artists out of their galleries. It was an amazing experience. the swimming pool was clean and well-maintained. The hotel's location is convenient, you can walk around to visit the different beaches or the centre of the city. I'll be back for sure.

We liked the privat beach a lot. The area is not crowded at all. Also the pool a gray place to hang out. It was perfect to relax. After only three minutes walk you reach local shops and restaurants. Perfect mixture between tourist life and authentic experience.

The stay at Zan View Hotel was an amazing experience. View to the ocean from the 1st floor is amazing, the food is delicious, however, the best part of this object is its staff, especially the manager Frank :) Highly recommand !

The breakfast selection was good but somewhat limited; however, the lunch and dinner menus definitely compensated with more variety. Additionally, we encountered a minor issue with a broken showerhead, but it was fixed by the staff within minutes.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Zan View Hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay. The food was fantastic, offering a variety of both local and international dishes complemented by great drinks. We especially loved the beach, which was the best section on the entire stretch—remarkably clear of rocks. Our honeymoon suite was not only spacious but also impeccably clean, and the hotel manager was always responsive and engaged, enhancing our experience. The view from the upstairs terrace was breathtaking, and we truly enjoyed the cozy and quiet ambiance of the hotel compared to some of the nearby larger resorts. Even during rains, the hotel offered lovely hangout spots such as the private beach, terrace, patio, pool, and the comfort of our own room. We would definitely book this hotel again.

The food (tasty) and drinks were pricey as per European budget and expressed in USD. Water in the rooms and small swimming pool was salty. The airco was out of service one night.

This is a quit retreat. Its clean and friendly and has a nice exotic feel. The terrace above the bar and seaside restaurant have a nice breeze to compensate for the high temperatures and humidity.
