The hotel was perfect, better than we imagined. Staff very nice and caring. The bungalow were clean and well equipped. Also very cozy and romantic- perfect place to chill out after long day or have a glass of wine with your loved one. Nice touch is a little pool in every bungalow. Restaurant view is stunning. Having breakfast there was a unique experience. Food was delicious Hotel has two pools (one type infinity!) and also kind of a “private” beach so you can stay there not disturbed. I would definitely recommend to everyone and would ki to come back one day as well

“A quiet, romantic and beautifully designed boutique hotel with a peaceful beach, lovely garden”
We absolutely loved our stay at this boutique hotel. It’s quiet, peaceful and very romantic – the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. The beach is calm and beautiful, and the garden is truly stunning, very green and well maintained. The restaurant was excellent – delicious food, fresh ingredients and a very pleasant atmosphere. The whole place has a relaxing and intimate vibe. We really enjoyed our time here and would happily come back again. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a quiet, romantic and beautiful place to stay.

“For a dream holiday visit Sevi.”
Everything, i think our stay was amazing. Friendly staff, great location, excellent food,away from the hustle and buzz from bussier regions. Secluded yet close enough to do day trips to visit other parts of Zanzi. Rented a Vespa for the day arranged by hotel staff, great experience.

“Fabulous”
Everything was great. Big comfortable room with a private dip pool and a relaxing lounge swing. The rooms and property are kept very clean. Lots of places to lounge and relax by the pools. The staff were very friendly and helpful - the restaurant staff was exceptionally good. Breakfast was great. Lunch and dinner options changed daily, and everything was always very good. I have nothing bad to say about SeVi and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in an out-of-the-way location.

“The perfect end to our honeymoon in east Africa. Thank you to the kind staff we met on our stay, you truly made our trip”
Everything, we are so pleased we picked this hotel. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. From the kind room upgrade for our honeymoon, to the friendly staff in the restaurant, grounds and reception. To the exceptionally good food and the gorgeous views. We would come back here year after year if we could!

“Ten out of ten”
Staff (reception, restaurant, housekeeping) were exceptional. The place is nicely built and maintained. The location is beautiful (better than the photos) and quiet and not too secluded, you have nearby amenities and restaurants if you would like a change of scenery (although the restaurant is excellent and has gorgeous views on the beach). Been around to other beaches in Zanzibar and this is the one with the least inconvenience from the beach sellers etc. People at the beach are either tourists, fishermen going on with their business and greeting you "jambo" without pestering. Or very adorable local children enjoying the beach and playing in the anchored fishing boats. The occasional seller will leave you alone after a few seconds if you don't engage back with them (unlike Nungwi for example).

“Peaceful, rejuvenating and definitely made friends with the staff.”
The staff at Sevi Boutique Hotel were amazing. Their friendly nature and the loving way they serve to make your stay memorable is definitely a huge plus. Eddie at the front desk was so solution discussed and changed our rooms because we paid for a sea facing room. We really appreciated that. The staff took time out to chat with us. The GM Razana is an absolute gem. She chatted with us and wanted to genuinely know what can they do to be better. The restaurant staff were excellent. Salum, Stella and Grace you all made our dining experience always memorable. The food was also delicious. One suggestion- have a few more vegetarian options. One night we were really hungry around midnight and the kitchen was closed but they still made the most delicious club sandwiches and chips. Now that’s brilliant service. The staff were always very attentive. The cleaner who clean our rooms also wonderful and kind. Sevi BH had the most peaceful environment and being on the beach made it a real beach and pool holiday. Keep up the excellent service Sevi Boutique hotel. I would definitely come back to host a retreat there. Love and light to you all. Nirasha, Anesh, Tash and Rommel

Rooms - a lovely authentic zanzibar feel with all the luxuries needed. Room service and laundry options are cute details. Only minor thing is some of the window slats need a little repair. Food - magnificent extravagant breakfasts. Great snacks and tasty dinners. Big kudos to the chefs! Beach and pools - two pools on site for quieter relaxation and loungers on the beach too for the lapping of the waves. Fantastic! Last but not least, some honourable mentions from our stay - Thank You to Grace, Stella, Ndebile, Masoud, Rashid, John, Kelvin, and Salum. Genuinely awesome people. Appreciate you making our stay fabulous!

We spent 5 days at the SeVi Boutique Hotel for the end of our honeymoon after a 8-day safari in mainland Tanzania. We loved everything about this place, from the beautiful tropical garden to the stunning seafront villa, from the great activities on offer to the amazing restaurant. A big thank-you to all the staff and we can't wait to come back for more!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Sevi Boutique Hotel. A heartfelt thank you for the warm and thoughtful welcome! This little slice of paradise in Zanzibar allowed us to completely disconnect — the place is stunning, peaceful, and far from all the chaos. The setting is idyllic, the beach is beautiful, and the service was truly outstanding. Every detail was taken care of, and we really appreciated all the kind gestures throughout our stay. Thank you again for everything — we leave fully rested and with wonderful memories!

“Fabulous rooms”
It was a great stay because the room was exceptional, very spacious, with the outdoor area and our own pool! Breakfast was very nice. The hotel is built on rocks that separate from the rest of the hotels and form a nice intimate bay, which is awesome.
