“Great value for money and very beautiful”
Everyone was very friendly. We were the only ones there when we arrived so very quite and nice. There are people around all through the day and night making you feel safe. They have another hotel just up the beach that we went to for some drinks and food.

I will never choose Zanzibar as a travel destination again. And I will not recommend Booking to anyone. Nor will I use it. They took my money and I did not receive any service for it. I hate Zanzibar. A gang of robbers.

“I highly recommend this place – it's the perfect spot for relaxation and unwinding.”
My stay exceeded all expectations. The cleanliness was impeccable, with every corner of the property kept spotless throughout my stay. The housekeeping staff worked tirelessly, ensuring that not only the rooms but also the common areas were consistently maintained to the highest standards. The service was flawless, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the accommodation. I was truly impressed by the dedication of the staff to providing such a well-kept and welcoming environment.

“Too long.”
Hotel is situated in a difficult location and does not feel safe outside the gates. Very poor variety of drinks at the bar, hotel can consider giving this aspect attention. Maybe just offer some more drink options, especially for the ladies (only two types of beers) . We did experience a lot of electricity problems, and coming from a country we have even more, it was just not fun getting away from homeland problems just to experience it somewhere else. There are also many beach walkers who try to sell all types of different stuff and they really don't respect your privacy, going for a walk on the beach was not enjoyable.

“Terrible, it’s not a place we would recommend. They need to improve on a serious note, no value for our money.”
Nothing much.

The location - very quiet and peaceful. The facilities are modest and well kept. Friendly staff. Shakira was particularly amazing and the guards were nice and super helpful. Security is top notch, I misplaced my handbag and it was found and kept for me.

Lovely hotel, right on the beach. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They had bad rain in the days before we arrived and the hotel had electrical issues so they moved us to their boutique hotel, just down the road, with a free bottle of champagne :)

“One of the best places to stay in Zanzibar :)”
A number of things including the location and staff. Felt very safe and looked after. Especially by one of the staff named Abi! looked after us so well for the duration of our stay, be sure to ask him for anything if you decide to stay! 10/10

Loved the fact its in the beach. The rooms on the ground floor were beautiful. Sunrise from the room was also nice. We were offered a welcome drink which was a nice touch. Beeakfast was good and in line of what Zanzibar offers (fruit, egg and bread). Staff were nice.

“Excellent accommodation at the beach”
We had a fantastisk stay at Moonshine. The staff was very attentive and smiling. Everyone did their best to fulfill our needs. Food was great and the beach excellent. The hotel was clean and they made sure to use bug-spray every night, so we had no problems with mosquitoes in our room. We felt very welcoming and give our best recommendations for this place.

“Vera is good. If someone from Moonshine ask to move to Boutique, don’t do that.”
Uroa is a good place to spend some calm and relax days. 1/1:30 distance from the main city, and the airport. take that in consideration if you want to do different activities. Good place to windy water sports. The local staff is amazing and tried to make our experience always better.
