Nous n’avons pas pu bénéficier de l’hôtel car Expedia a omis de nous informer que l’hôtel était fermé et la cellule de relogement ne nous a pas recontacte. Nous nous sommes trouvés à la rue et à devoir repayer un nouvel hôtel dans un contexte politique ultra tendu en Tanzanie. Merci encore une fois Expedia Attention à ce jour vous pouvez encore reservé cet hotel sur Expedia alors qu’il est toujours fermé. Nous n’avons pas pu juger l’hôtel en lui même.

So much potential..

5.0

Staff were absolutely amazing. Very friendly, informative and helpful. Location was perfect, right on the beachfront. Pool overlooking the ocean Bungalow was sufficient for our needs

Luckily our flights and arrival was delayed due to lost luggage, as there would have been no one to see us into our room as previously arranged had we arrived at 4:30am. We were welcomed by an awesome gent named Stuart.. Due to our long stay the breakfast included was very limited with hardly any variations. Was very repetitive. Certain items on the restaurant menu were not always available and certain items they ran out of stock. Some mornings we had to wait until 7:30 to be able to get tea or coffee. Our bungalow was infested with borer, and our clothes and bedding was covered with frass. The same with the restaurant area. On a rainy day our unit leaked on the one side, fortunately we were there at the time so managed to move our belongings out of waters reach. Water pressure was affected on random occasions. Electricity drops quite often, which seems to be a general problem in Zanzibar. Clearly a lack of management and lack of interest in the running of the lodge. Has so much potential.

Fair for the price point

7.0

Pool was clean , beach is immediately accessible from the lodge. Staff are super friendly and accommodating . Room is well sized beautiful location for a peaceful stay the lodge in it's entirely is very beautiful.

No wifi in the room, shower works intermittently, hot water is not always available. The food took 2 hours when ordering from the lodge kitchen on every occasion besides breakfast, which was more reasonable. The room was clean but had a smell after room was cleaned during our stay the 2nd time the smell was gone.

O hotel é super fofo, bastante confortável, com pé na areia. Tem uma piscina de borda infinita em frente ao mar. Lugar maravilhoso

Não tem tudo que está no cardápio

POSTO INCANTEVOLE

9.0

Il posto è di per sè un paradiso. La posizione è strepitosa, direttamente sulla spiaggia. Camere molto carine. Pulizia ok. Unica nota negativa, purtroppo non poco: sono eterni nel servire la colazione. Non hanno un buffet ma è su ordinazione e abbiamo aspettato oltre 1 ora per riceverla. Conviene organizzarsi altrove per farla

Eterni nel servire la colazione.
