Top Zanzibar Hotel Reviews
Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"All inclusive hotel with great buffet. Beautiful and large beach."
Hotel Riu Palace Swahili - All Inclusive - Adults Only
8/10 Good
"The staff was great and the place is still new. I will definitely visit again if the chance occurs"
Park Hyatt Zanzibar
10/10 Excellent
"Other than perfect there’s not much else to say. Staff, service, food, location, it really was everything one could ask for."
TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar
8/10 Good
"Our inbound transportation wasn’t there due to misunderstanding on the hotel part even though we had called and exchanged few emails but they found a quick solution for us and it went very smoothly. I would suggest to add some snacks (cookies, cakes, crisps, chocolate bars, etc .) at the bar and not only drinks to make it more convenient."
JAZ Amaluna - Adults Only 16+
10/10 Excellent
"Not one complaint 10/10 everyone was nice the food was amazing great shows we loved it so much we had to stay and extra day and we were so mad we had to leave will definitely be coming back !!!!!!!!!!"
Tembo Kiwengwa Resort
8/10 Good
"I don't really stay in resorts so I don't have much to compare. The grounds, facilities and rooms were immaculate and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The view from my room was stunning and the beach was also immaculate. Some things did come up that made my stay a little less enjoyable. This is an alcohol free resort, this was my fault for not realizing but there were restaurants nearby that served alcohol We left our previous hotel to catch a flight to Zanzibar at 4am. We arrived at the hotel starving. Unfortunately it was in between breakfast and lunch so no food options. We were advised that there were restaurants that serve all day which was not the case for us. We went door to door and were told 12:30. We finally found one and it took 1 hr and 15 minutes for our food which was past 12:30! We would have been fine with a premade sandwich Other minor things, we could not have 2 keys for our room so my friend and I couldn't really do our own thing without one of us being locked out. It also would have been helpful to have an ATM nearby. We wanted to leave tips but ran of of cash"
The Residence Zanzibar
8/10 Good
"We had lot of issues with poorly maintained appliances , light switches , bathrooms , WiFi connectivity , property is amazing otherwise"
