  • Lost & Found Zanzibar Review score: 3

    “Location is good and close to main attractions and restaurants.”

  • Canary Hotel & SPA Review score: 7

    “Great location in Nungwi - close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Good value for money. Nice pool, delicious breakfast.”

  • Tembo House Hotel Review score: 9

    “Very central location, staff was extremely friendly.”

  • Samawa Living Review score: 10

    “It was beautiful, very aesthetic and most of all kept in good condition. It seemed like it was brand new and we couldn’t find another hotel anywhere near the standard of this one. All of our needs were catered for and they went above and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience and the staff had a huge part to play in that especially with their exceptional service. It was very clean, housekeeping was up to a very high standard and they even made sure to make the room mosquito proof for our entire stay.”

  • “We loved the property it was absolutely worth the price! The staff were amazing, especially the chef who kindly prepared a last-minute dinner for us. A big thank you to Alice, who gave us a warm welcome and shared helpful info about places to visit. The manager was also very friendly and made us feel right at home. Big shoutout to the fantastic team — we hope to come back again!”

  • Malika Nungwi Hotel Review score: 1

    “The Good.. The bed was comfortable and the sheets wre clean had a great sleep for that i give it credit”

  • “The staff were exceptionally friendly, accommodating, efficient and responsive. From booking taxis, offering a smile and friendly chat, to actioning any requests quickly. Bathroom size is good, and the bed is comfy, and has a mosquito net. The hotel leads onto the beach, which is beautiful, with many great restaurants and a spectacular view to enjoy a walk or swim.”

  • “Beach front location, and Kelvin is a very nice and helpful host.”

  • Mr Kahawa Review score: 10

    “Ocean view room with loft was spectacular. A family of red colobus monkeys (not tame, but not dangerous) visited us on the balcony each day. Happy hour at the bar was great for a "sundowner" cocktail or two.”

  • “Great location by the ocean, and good size swimming pool. We got a good price as the resort was relatively new, but it seems this value for money may not be available now or in future. Food was also pretty good.”
