Charming lodge ❤️

10.0

Charming lodge just steps from one of Kiwengwa's most beautiful beaches. The couple who run it are delightful, and the facilities are gorgeous. Evenings spent by their lovely pool were unforgettable. Thank you so much for your excellent service; it was a truly memorable stay.

Welcome to Paradise - Great Price Value

10.0

We have known this property since the early beginnings. First time was in 2015. We saw several managers come and go. This month, the hotel was reopened by a lovely British/Tanzanian couple and they are here to stay. It has only 12 rooms and you have a great view. Garden is beautiful and chickens are running around. This is a place where you can really relax. The rooms are big and clean. Aircon is working well and you have a fridge in the room. The pool area is just fantastic. The new staff is very friendly. Breakfast is very good. You have a lot of different options you can choose from. Chicken curry and enchiladas are highly recommended for lunch or dinner. The South African white wine for 25 bucks per bottle is excellent. Local beers cost 4 bucks. Compared to other nearby accommodations, it has a very good price/value ratio. The best Italian restaurant in the whole of Zanzibar is also just 150 metres away. Kiwengwa Beach is amazing and it is a short walk to the sandbank when there is low tide. The hotel will be renamed shortly and is not on booking dot com yet so if you want to explore this paradise yourself, drop them an email or WhatsApp. Highly recommended by frequent travelers.

Do not go!

Arrived to find hotel closed. The operating skipped out…talked to the owner of the property and he offered for us to stay with no staff onsite, but we rebooked immediately into the near by Melia.

Service aside, it left a lot to be desired

6.0

The staff are amazing and provide really good service + clean everything regularly and thoroughly! Pool area was beautiful and restaurant staff always very polite and accommodating. Manager was always helpful and polite - very approachable and involved. The hotel itself was disappointing: toilet seat was broken and the actual toilet was loose from the floor. Mosquito nets around the beds and at the windows had holes in it. Some of the lights were missing light bulbs. Barely any closet space. Food at the restaurant was average and not worth the prices. We are from South Africa and are familiar with loadshedding, but we had not expected to experience it overseas too - at least not in a hotel that you're paying to stay at.
