A place to forget the rest of the world

When you enter this resort you feel immediately embraced by a tropical paradise. I felt so welcomed like visiting best friends who fulfilled every single wish I had. I came as a stranger and left like a family member. Thank you Georgina and Daniel

Relaxed home away from home

We really enjoyed our 7night stay at Kiganja. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. With just 8 rooms it felt very relaxed at all times. The beach is just at the other side of the road. The pool and the pool area was a nice place to relax. The rooms were clean and had everything you need. Georgia helped with arranging transfers, and referred us to the local Dive School. Good to see the focus on sustainability. Breakfast was a nice combo of fresh fruit, home made cakes and, fresh juice, coffee and eggs/crepes made upon request. The visiting bush babies every evening were a joy! We had a great time here. Thanks for having us!!

Wish I could have stayed longer!

Beautiful and super comfortable! We loved our stay here! The staff were so helpful and accomodating and let us checkout late so that we could shower after our morning snorkeling trip. There were cute animals around the property - like a bushbaby, their pet cats, and adorable flying fox bats! The proximity to the beach is a bonus, it was so relaxing and healing.

A hidden gem amongst other hotels in this location. Everything was exceptionally well maintained, the personel was very friendly and helpful, the kitchen served a good food and the place is only a few minutes on foot from the beach.

Great Hotel

The staff of the Hotel are incredibly friendly and super helpful beyond reasonable expectations. The restaurant has a very good menu and delicious food and a beautiful view. The hotel is a one minute walk from the beach where there are other restaurants and many beautiful fun exciting activities to do. The hotel compound itself has a nice pool and lounges to read and relax.

A most definate recommendation to anyone. We loved each and every minute of our stay at Kiganja.

The hosts Georgia and Daniel were absolutely friendly and helpful. The staff was exeptionally friendly and did not hesitate for anything we requested. The location was super and absulutely what we needed. Breakfast was great, the service super and the lunch / dinner was really tasty.

Superb hotel

Very comfortable room, good aircon, clean clear pool and lots of sun beds Georgia the manager could not have been nicer. She let me keep the room the day I was leaving. She also got me a free bicycle from another hotel She also organised with the chef to make me some vegetarian meals that weren't on the menu Added delight was a visit from a wild bush baby every evening that comes down for a banana in the restaurant

A beautiful stay.

This property is absolutely beautiful! If you love quietness and being surrounded by nature then I highly recommend booking a stay here. The owners are very lovely, warm and helpful and the rooms are really comfortable and have a lovely view into the main pool area. The beach is about a 1 minute walk behind the property and has some restaurants on it. This is located on a very quiet beach so it’s perfect of this is the experience you are seeking.

Dream holiday

The service, the place, the food and the people are the best if you are looking for a real Zanzibar experience!! Giorgia and Daniele were the most welcome and amazing host you could have met in this wonderful island! We definitely recommend it for couples and friends also for the perfect location, if you like quiet and peace. The beach is literally 5min walking and it's definitely the best side of Zanzibar! We can't wait to come back again! We already miss this amazing place so much!

Comfy small hotel.

Lovely hotel on the very long Matemwe beach. A short stroll to the sand and village. The room was very comfortable . All the staff and owner were really friendly and there's a nice pool for a dip.

Fantastic hotel

Possibly my dream hotel in the price bracket! 8 rooms and 8 pairs of sunbeds, very nice rooms with fridge kettle and Aircon, the mozzie net was the executive type with side panels and no drooping! No bugs were seen in our room during our stay. Nice bathroom with hot water. Balcony overlooking the pool. No disco music, hooray😀. I thought the food prices were cheaper than the beach places drinks were average prices nice helpful owners too.

Amazing!!

The staff are all helpful and friendly. The resort is ran by an Italian couple who make you feel as though you're welcome and you're family from the moment you walk through the gate. The food is so delicious.. Try anything you won't be disappointed. Georgia is so quick at offering many amazing things to do on the island.. And ask her about the cute bush babies you can feed in the evening 😍 The rooms are up todate.. Water pressure is amazing and a/c blows cold.. The beds are so comfortable. I've been to Zanzibar sooo many times and this is hands down one of my favourite places now. I will definitely be back. Feels like you're in paradise. The resort is quiet Nd relaxing. And in less than a minute walk your on the white sand beach.
