Zanzibar Hoteller

Fordeler: Simply the perfect spot for a honeymoon holiday! It is an exclusive resort that provides you with complete privacy yet perfect service. We had the villa with private pool and private beach entrance ...

Ulemper: It is distanced from any supermarkets or stores, so expect to buy any food or water you need from Stonetown before coming in, you will not leave the resort much and nothing is walking distance from ...

Fordeler: The bedding and the food

Ulemper: They don't have a beach front

Fordeler: Everything was amazing!

Fordeler: Food excellent and luxuries at resort great!! Option to have a private dinner at the deck. Very accomadating. Great staff very attentive and know you by name.

Ulemper: Mosquitos but i guess nobody likes those.

Fordeler: The staff made you feel welcomed every day. Food and cocktails were great. Housekeeping came twice a day and even did turn-down service.

Fordeler: Sangeti the duty manager, wonderful friendly man. The bbq dinner.

Ulemper: Definitely not 5 star facilities, @ best it's 3 star quality. The room looks NOTHING like the pictures. EXTREMELY old fashioned furniture, decor & bathroom. Curtains are too short so there are...

Fordeler: I like the resort very much and all people who made this resort so wonderful. Management trying to do everything you want. Good job !!! Lovely food, cosy restaurant. Good library. Good air ...

Ulemper: It is a smell of sewerage in the toilet bungalow 11. Bed linen not the Egyptian cotton. I bit pricey drinks.

Fordeler: Perfectly organized territory and landscape. Mostly friendy staff. All nice and beautiful. Very small property with only 13 villas and bangallows including delux villas. Delux villas are completely ...

Ulemper: Hard to locate the property if you drive yourself using navigation. Too soft pillows with no option. From delux villas there is a direct access to the sand beach but it is hard to enter into water...

Fordeler: Everything ! I think it's the 1st time ever I am giving out a 10 (and I am French lol). Everything was great there, the food, the service, the staff, the facilities etc. I wish we stayed more than...

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordeler: I like everything, staff, landscape, facility, beach, free open time for breakfast and more.

Ulemper: Hotel location is inside a village with unpaved road that made it impossible to reach there without car or taxi. They should pave access to hotel. Wifi signal inside room is poor.

Fordeler: Everything from the service to the food to the property itself was excellent. Definitely planning to visit again

Fordeler: Nice relaxination

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordeler: The staff was unbelievably friendly!! They are amazing people. If not for the staff, I would have rated Hotel much lower. The sea views from the Hotel is awesome!! You could not ask for better ...

Ulemper: The restaurant is very expensive and very limited menu. You cannot leave your Hotel without being accosted by vendors that do not take no for an answer. Locals playing soccer in front of Hotel are ...

Fordeler: The room was so nice with a lot of details. The staff all so friendly, always smiling, extremely polite and helpful!

Ulemper: The beach area was to my mind to close to the boats-area and tooo much 'beach-boys' and locals because the beaches are public

Fordeler: Everything. Clean, well furnished rooms. Very friendly staff all the way from check-in, settling in, meals served and checking out.

Fordeler: The hotel was heaven (especially after just climbing Mt Kilimanjaro). So beautiful, pristine, great location on the beachfront. The room was massive, so comfortable and clean. The food and drinks were...

Ulemper: Some of the prices of the facilities (massage, food and drink etc).

Fordeler: Friendly staff, comfortable room and great pool.

Fordeler: location was superb

Fordeler: INCREDIBLE STAY!!! After three weeks in Pemba we really enjoyed our three night stay at the Parc Hyatt in Stone Town.The location is right in the heart of the old Town and directly on a beautiful ...

Fordeler: Med rom vendt ut mot sjøen og flott balkong var dette et perfekt opphold. Med sin beliggenhet i Stone Town er det alltid mye å finne på. Hotellet ordnet med utflukter for oss, og vi besøkte både ...

Fordeler: Terrific hotel with wonderful pool, views, right on the beach, good food selection and quality, superb staff. A bit pricey for being right in stone town (and therefore not on the nicest beach), but a great place to stay for those who don't have time to get out to the further parts of the island

Fordeler: Wonderful service. The kindness and attentiveness of the staff was amazing. Personal touches and details that made the stay very special.

Fordeler: Beautiful beach though I have seen better. The other reviews all rave about the beach but the fact is there is seaweed in the beach during the day and if you have been to any other nice beach island ...

Ulemper: Not worth the price given the beach is nice but not great.

Fordeler: Great staff...!! Great location...!!

Fordeler: Everything - food, staff, grounds, room, service, welcome - all excellent, products in the bathroom were yummie

Ulemper: wi-fi is spotty - logs off all the time & uploads are very slow

Fordeler: The staff was amazing. The hotel is perfect if you want to rest and enjoy of some days off the stress of the city. The hotel has private beach and the tide doesn't affect it. A bit pricy, but a ...

Ulemper: The price is a bit high, including dinner menu.

Fordeler: The location of the hotel is perfect - outside of the village and with beautiful private beach (no vendors!!!) (definitely the best in Pongwe). The pool is also great - quite big, with ocean view and ...

Ulemper: The comfort of the bungalows themselves could be improved - e.g. a small sitting area inside with a sofa would be nice. There is also no AC - our stay was in the hottest time of the year and at night ...

Fordeler: Staff were amazing, and the location is lovely!

Ulemper: The bed was not very comfortable.

Fordeler: The beach is amazing-clean, possibility to swim in the sea even in low tide. Loved the idea of putting your flag in the sand if you wanted to order something. The food was superb. Staff was friendly. ...

Ulemper: Option to change currency at the hotel would have been great.

Fordeler: Restaurant meals are delicious, as they have an excellent chef. We also enjoyed having our own refreshing plunge pool. Espectacular view of the ocean tides, enjoyable beach in the mornings and ...

Ulemper: Air conditioning would make it more pleasant to take a nap or sleep at night, fans can be noisy. EXTREMELY weak and slow wifi connection in rooms,only good by lobby or bar/restaurant.

Fordeler: Our family of four had an unforgettable stay at Pongwe Beach Hotel. The descriptions and the pictures online don't really do justice to an accommodation that blends beauty, comfort and hospitality...

Ulemper: Spotty wifi shouldn't really count as a downside in a place where disconnecting and soaking in the environment should be your first priority.

Fordeler: The staff were brilliant, the property is very nice and our room was perfect for us (with two small children) and with a gorgeous view. The beach is fabulous with the reef shelf to explore. There is...

Ulemper: Unfortunately dinner is not served until 7.30pm which is tricky for small children, there is a pool bar doing snacks but that seems a shame when you have paid half-board like we had. Otherwise ...

Fordeler: Very comfortable bed and room...staff was excellent, and the property was beautiful. Nothing else around, which I liked. And the food was exceptional. And I got a very good price on Booking.

Fordeler: The food provided on the half board basis was exceptionally good. All staff couldn't do enough for you.

Ulemper: The lunch menu could have been been value for money.

Fordeler: Breakfast was amazing, very complete, and fresh omeletes, pancakes, waffles, french toast, fruit, cereal, yogurt, varies assortment of breads, croissant, etc. We went in the rainy season (April 15 to...

Ulemper: We could not change the date, but if someone is planning a holiday and can move the week, I would first enquire as to the high and low tides before selecting a week. When we were there, the low tide ...

Fordeler: I loved everything about this hotel. We got married there during our stay and every single thing was just perfect. Location, service, staff, food - all perfect. Cant recommend this hotel enough.

Fordeler: Super nice food! Beach is not soo good, there are better beaches in ZNZ. I suggest for couples or those who want ONLY relax :) Food is sooooo good! I liked dinner buffet and breakfast was amazing! A ...

Ulemper: The location, Paje beach is quite far, about 10km, so you have to take a taxi to go there. Two ways 15USD when you take somewhere not from hotel, I guess hotel taxi is more expensive.

Fordeler: Amazing villa we got with my husband

Ulemper: Wifi signal very bad!!!

Ulemper: Prepayment process was not able to be completed through booking.com and was complicated.

Fordeler: The choice of food was excellent. The staff were excellent and the overall ambience was excellent.

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordeler: Sehr schöne Anlage, super freundliches Personal. Great location, very friendly staff, very profesional diving center

Fordeler: The decoration of the property was magical. The bed was very comfy and the location was great.

Ulemper: The corner bath is a great idea, but it doesn't fill quickly and runs out of hot water before it gets more than a few cm full. The porter told me within a few sentences he wants to marry a mzungu...

Fordeler: The place is amazing. Each room is different and each hallway like a museum. And the rooftop restaurant has a fantastic view. I only wish I could have stayed another night.

Fordeler: The staff were great, well prepared to serve the guest and there needs.

Ulemper: A tiny tiny suggestion, this hotel offer themed rooms and it would be good to be offered the choice.

Fordeler: The staff were very accommodating after I arrived 3hrs late at 1am. The manager even allowed me to stay in my room until 3pm the following day, 5hrs after the official check-out time, so that I could ...

Ulemper: The only thing I can think of is the coffee - I think it was Nescafe. Not up to standard considering how perfect all the other details were.

Fordeler: Beds and pillows extra comfy and the ambiance perfect!

Fordeler: Beautiful room, excellent size, comfortable bed. Great food portions in restaurant

Ulemper: Requested a baby cot in the room when we booked a few weeks ago but was not available when we arrived and told it was broken and unable to be fixed. Had to complain a little to get a new one- took ...

Fordeler: Great breakfast, great staff, and we enjoyed our room. Good location right in the middle of Stone Town. The service was very good.

Ulemper: nothing

Fordeler: The Owner of the property - santosh s extremely nice and helpful. Location is nice

Ulemper: Water bottle not kept in the room both the days. Heights of the bed is extremely high ! Average breakfast - and no room service option throughout the day.

Fordeler: Al-Minar is great value for money, competing with 4/5 star hotels for a fraction of the cost. The staff go out of their way to ensure your comfort, including sharing a map with nearby restaurants ...

Ulemper: No ocean view

Fordeler: Very good pick up service free from airport, we arrived at 01.00 am in the night. Rooms are clean, a little bit small but for maximum 2 night are ok. The customer service was excelent. A good and ...

Ulemper: The humity in the air but for that is responsabil Zanzibar :))

Fordeler: Location Staff

Ulemper: They say they provide free airport transfers but still made me pay for the Trip back to the Airport. Tours booked via the Hotel are very expensive. I paid half the money for a boat trip booked in ...

Fordeler: Breakfast is Buffet. This enables me to pick only what I want to take for breakfast. I am free to have it to my fill. This is the best place for me anytime am in Zanzibar for my regular trips

Ulemper: N/A

Fordeler: Very friendly and helpful staff

Fordeler: The staff was super super friendly and checked in with me very often to make sure I was okay. Very helpful. The bed was LUSH.

Ulemper: I really missed a pool and there were no cozy places to hang out (only in the restaurant and the reception area). As a single traveler, it felt too secluded.

Fordeler: The terrace on the 5th floor is comfortable. You have a good view of the city

Fordeler: The place is not located for a hotel. Only I can say the chef of roof restaurant was very nice,, meals nice, and the chef waiter of restaurant was a good service experience . The tour operator ...

Fordeler: About the hotel nothing much

Fordeler: Frokosten var fantastisk . Deilige senger og godt renhold. Hyggelig betjening. Gratis og god wifi.

Ulemper: Beliggenheten er litt vanskelig før du lærer deg veien. Aircondition som fungerer veldig bra, så da gikk det greit uten veranda

Fordeler: Big clean comfortable beds, spacious room, great wifi, fridge in the room, excellent tv reception with lots of channels

Ulemper: We didn't have hot water the first day. They fixed it the second, but the water pressure wasn't very good- I don't have thick hair and it took awhile to rinse the shampoo out... It's set back a ways from road so you need help with your bags an the food in the restaurant is limited and prices are high. Better breakfast at the Serena

Fordeler: Serena Hotel is such a lovely choice. The location is amazing, its right on the water and you have front row seats to the sunset! I had a hammock on my waterfront balcony which was just wonderful. ...

Ulemper: The air-conditioning in my room wasn't working but it was nice that the staff was responsive enough to have it fixed in the next 4 hours and because it was taking so long they had prepared another...

Ulemper: Showers were very poor - not great for people coming in from a hot humid climate or returning from the beach.

Fordeler: The location was perfect and the pool was fab.

Ulemper: For a 5 star, it maybe wasn't totally what I expected but the location was so good, it made up for anything else. Breakfast maybe a little disappointing.

Ulemper: the service and the staff were pathetic, hopeless,not friendly . seems that the had not been paid by their company for long and they are showing their anger &frustration towards the ...

Ulemper: Beach not clean....glass cut my toe while walking on beach

Fordeler: great rooftop view and good for nice cold beer or glass of wine. Breakfast could be improved

Ulemper: Despite the location and nice rooftop restaurant/bar, stay away from this place at all costs. Here's what I experienced during a one night stay. First, two sets of locals were at the ...

Fordeler: clean, great location, nice rooftop restaurant, and lounge, staff was lovely

Ulemper: While the hotel is wonderful with nice staff and in a fabulous Stone Town location, the hotel's own driver was a problem. My flight was late 45 min and he decided I was a no show and left the ...

Fordeler: Lovely traditional construction of the building with central courtyard and swimming pool. Large room with balcony overlooking the city. Comfortable bed.

Fordeler: The rooms and decor are quite lovely indeed. Nothing like I've seen before, it has this antique, Arabian mansion vibe to it and it's quite a welcome change from all the clean, modernist hotels...

Ulemper: They have this solar powered hot water setup in the rooms which isn't very reliable when you want to take a shower. You need to turn it on for 30 minutes before taking a shower and even when you ...

Fordeler: I like the atmosphere, the decoration, the staff

Fordeler: Ok frokost i fine omgivelser. Hyggelig lite svømmebasseng. Pent rom med veranda over svømmebassenget.

Fordeler: Deilig badebasseng, Frokosten var god. Veldig sentralt.

Ulemper: De jobbet med en promenade langs sjøen når vi var der så det skjemmet litt for utsikten, men når den blir ferdig blir det strålende.

Fordeler: There were no croissants and breakfast to too add more flavor to their food.

Ulemper: The Food Definitely needs some work. The menu must be changed or the chef must be changed. I went to other resorts and the food was of a higher quality.

Fordeler: Spanish omelette very good

Ulemper: No cupboards Poor choices at breakfast No water pressure in shower

Fordeler: Has a small pool in the courtyard which comes easy to cool after a hot day. Authentic architecture and decoration.

Ulemper: 20 minutes waiting for the hot water. Though,it took less than that. And, the weather was hot,so,hot, water was not that necessary in the end.

Fordeler: I love the decorations and location of this hotel. The overall vibe is so awesome with so much history of stone town.

Ulemper: They don't serve alcohol.

Fordeler: The location of the hotel

Ulemper: The staff! And the cleanness of the room

Fordeler: Good location

Ulemper: front office organised a taxi at more than double the going rate.

Fordeler: Location, Clean, Good breakfast, Good staff

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordeler: Veldig hyggelig personale. Fantastisk takterrasse.

Fordeler: This is a very unique and beautiful hotel...They take care of a lot of little details. I believe it was a little pricey - but it was also during the holiday season. Some nickel and diing- too much for taxis and so forth - ut a kind and attentive staff.

Fordeler: The lodges are literally placed ON the beach. The staff was very friendly and super helpfull - they assisted us in planning a trip to Stone Town, a spice farm and snorkeling. The food in the ...

Ulemper: beach and sea - seeweed, nothing around to do or buy, mattress could be good for sunbeds - the rope is uncomfortable, in this area children was often begging

Fordeler: Amazing beach location, perfect African style beach houses. Zlatko, Ivan, Cheddy and the team are doing a great job!

Ulemper: Be aware that the 'garden view' rooms are located behind the beach, up a flight of stairs. They are good value but not the same as the other rooms which are literally in the sand.

Fordeler: The beach is amazing, the area is great, nearly no people. Peace and quiet, maximum relax. At times noone else in the sea just us. You can go for a walk along the beach and find hardly someone within ...

Ulemper: a bit cheating on us within ordered tours, not a good quality for service nor guiding in Stonetown.

Fordeler: We spent an amazing 6 nights in Twisted Palm. We loved the location of the hotel. Wild beach, not a lot of tourists, quiet. Perfect place for family holidays. Staff was wonderful. Teddy and the woman ...
